Anyone interesting in distributed file systems? Specifically interested in contributing ideas, code, testing of something I'm working on? π€

@prologic maybe. is it something for twtxt/yarn, that can be used for hosting people's twtxt.txt? I had a look at cabal.chat yesterday that seem to have something like this going for it, but it was still very buggy.
Yeah, what'd you have in mind?

@anth So far I've basically put together some of the building blocks. A blobserver, some basic metadata thing (_not quite a server yet_) and some basic CRUD operations on files (_create/read_). I'm using Reed Solomon Erasure Encoding for data durability and redundancy. I _could_ use some guidance, help, code contributions, battle testers, etc. I'm at a point where now where I need to think about how to structure the "clustering" and "metdata" -- ideally masterless. Then I'll work on integrating a FUSE layer on top. Still interested? π€_

Potentially. What environment/language(s) are you working in? I'd dump fuse for 9p, personally :-)

@anth I'm using Go to implement this. Developing on macOS, plan to support BSD and Linux. 9p sounds great, but I have zero experience or access to such :D
