I think bluebird supports starting promises in batches, I'll probably use that if the ipfs daemon memory usage shoots up upon encountering a huge directory

for one I can't figure out how to add files to it...
<piajesse[m]>
and I also can't figure how it resolves it, does it still resolve the files if that host is down?
<djdv>
how I learned to love mojibake and dfgdhtrwhtrgfht
<lord|>
piajesse[m]: you update the files by attaching a new hash to the ipns address
border0464 has quit [Ping timeout: 260 seconds]
border0464 has joined #ipfs
<lord|>
and I don't think it will resolve if all nodes with the private key for it are down
<lord|>
but I haven't tested that or researched
pcardune has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
<piajesse[m]>
so you can have the private key on multible servers?
<lord|>
if not I'm not sure how ipfs would go about finding the latest version without waiting for an arbitrarily long timeout
<lord|>
piajesse[m]: actually...
<lord|>
I think the key is tied to the node, right?
<lord|>
so you couldn't transfer it
<piajesse[m]>
thats why i thought xD
<lord|>
but maybe it is possible to have two nodes with the exact same public key...
<djdv>
keys are stored in the keystore
<lord|>
idk what insanity that would cause but
ericxtang has quit [Ping timeout: 268 seconds]
<piajesse[m]>
well, I was wondering because of an idea i had would heavily relie on ipns, even when that host is down, but the files are pinned else where
<djdv>
ipfs key gen -t ed25519 testkey
engdesart has joined #ipfs
<djdv>
will place 'testkey' in your .ipfs/keystore
risciii has quit [Ping timeout: 248 seconds]
<djdv>
and you can just transfer that around and publish with it if you want, ipfs name publish -k testkey
<piajesse[m]>
so does ipns use a a hash for every name publish, or for the whole node?
smuten has joined #ipfs
<lord|>
djdv: ah, so it's not perma-fused with the node's keypair?
<lord|>
piajesse: not sure what you mean
<djdv>
no, 'self' is only the default for your node
<djdv>
`ipfs key list` will show what keys are available to use
<djdv>
ipfs name publish <hash> will use self
<lord|>
piajesse: ipns addresses correspond to whatever ipfs hash the author is choosing to publish at the time
<djdv>
unless you specify -k
<piajesse[m]>
alright, so how does ipns resolve hashes?
<lord|>
it's a mystery to me
<lord|>
I don't even know how I'd begin to come up with a distributed algorithm to reliably do that
<djdv>
soon through pubsub I guess
<lord|>
I'd assume it's just pushing out ECC signatures onto the DHT
<lord|>
ECDSA*
<lord|>
not sure how old signatures are marked as old though
<djdv>
you set the lifetime
<lord|>
but you can't verify timestamps
<lord|>
you just trust that everyone has a good clock..?
<djdv>
I'm less familliar with the details of IPNS than the applications of it
<piajesse[m]>
well if you set it for 1 year lifetime, with a date 9 months agos, it will just last 3 months...
<piajesse[m]>
so i don't really see that as an issue
<lord|>
lol, I published an ipns address a while ago, I forgot to set --lifetime so I guess it expired 24 hours after publishing it
<lord|>
wonder if that means other nodes will wait a really long time to timeout and use the outdated signature
<lord|>
meh doesn't matter, I don't publish anything on my website
<lord|>
other than the north korean flag with the FCC symbol in the middle
<piajesse[m]>
so if you set it with a lifetime with 1 week, and you have to change data in it 2 hours later, what happens?
nhh^ has quit []
<lord|>
piajesse: I assume other nodes will stop searching as soon as they see the first non-expired record

piajesse: I'm sure it depends on how integrated you are with peers

and how often you're willing to re-sign it
<lord|>
but yeah it's probably not suitable for everything
<piajesse[m]>
well I was thinking if you have to change content every couple of minutes, then stop for 15 hours with the host down
<lord|>
would definitely recommend checking it out, maybe learning a bit
<lord|>
it's got some pretty unique ideas about making low-level programming safer and easier to deal with than using C/C++ and getting random segfaults every 5 seconds
<piajesse[m]>
well with a dapp I'm making, I was thinking c++, or python, or even java. then someone suggested go, and I like that idea of that, but rust might be a good idea too xD
<lord|>
yeah rust might be a cool option
<lord|>
it's probably the fastest growing lang at this point
<lord|>
so you'll encounter some hype-hiccups
<lord|>
but it's also maturing quite fast
<piajesse[m]>
or run as source like python
<lord|>
it is compiled
<lord|>
and uses LLVM so gets a handful of clang's optimizations out of the box
<lord|>
and unlike Go, it has no GC
<piajesse[m]>
gc?
<lord|>
garbage collection
<lord|>
it infers types, does a pretty good job at inferring lifetimes (when stuff is deallocated), and has some cool high level language stuff
<piajesse[m]>
i mean have you seen how much java takes in memory 🙄
<lord|>
also has what OOP should have been :)
<lord|>
of course,
<piajesse[m]>
does open build service support rust?
<lord|>
incremental compilation just got finalized into rust so that is improving re-compiling `debug` builds
<piajesse[m]>
yeah I don't really like thier disto that much, but I do like some of thier ideas and other things, like OBS

Hi all. Is ipfs supposed to be able to run in standalone mode ? e.g. no bootstrap peers ?
<Icefoz>
pecastro: It needs at least one bootstrap peer but you can set the bootstrap list to whatever you want.
<Icefoz>
It would be interesting to be able to find peers by querying the link-local network, but not always desirable by default.
<Icefoz>
So I don't know if that's an option.
<pecastro>
Icefoz: I don't think it works very well. I'm starting ipfs with an empty bootstrap list by removing the default peers from the init generated config ...
<pecastro>
It hangs and stops responding ...
<Icefoz>
Yes, because you need at least one bootstrap peer.
<Icefoz>
It asks that peer what other nodes it knows about, then asks those nodes, and so on.
<Icefoz>
But it needs to be able to find that first node.
<pecastro>
Ah ok. Let me try instantiating another one frmo scratch to see how it fares ...
<pecastro>
That means it requires a minimum of two nodes to work then. So the right answer becomes "whatever you want except an empty list and a minimum of one peer" :)

could you report that one on the issue tracker too? :) (try go-ipfs master first)

lgierth: switching to master is going to be kind of a pain, I'm installing it from the package manager right now
<ToxicFrog>
But if I do get around to that I will be sure to file bugs
<piajesse[m]>
is there a way to auto seed files added to an ipns address?
<ToxicFrog>
...what's the longest you can declare an IPNS record for? I just now noticed that they only last 24 hours by default, which is...not at all what I want
<ToxicFrog>
piajesse[m]: "seed"?
<LcSmith[m]>
He meant send
<LcSmith[m]>
I believe
<piajesse[m]>
nope I meant seed
<piajesse[m]>
seed as in download it, and offer to upload it to anyone that wants it

piajesse[m]: isn't that what `ipfs pin` does?
<LcSmith[m]>
Ohh. This seems to be the only application that sends me notifications even when I only have mobile data on, I need to figure out why the others don't...
<piajesse[m]>
so like if a youtuber (or just a video maker in this case) uploads a new video, you download and add to the upload quota for everyone else
<ToxicFrog>
Presumably you can just resolve the ipns name and then `ipfs pin` the object it resolves to.
<piajesse[m]>
that does only the files right? not the muteable content?
<lgierth>
ToxicFrog: i looked through the commits since the last release, it looks like the `ipfs add` progress thing is probably still in master
<lgierth>
the ipns thing definitely is i guess
<ToxicFrog>
piajesse[m]: what do you mean?
<piajesse[m]>
first off, what does the pin command actually pin, the current files in the ipns hash, or will it keep an eye on the ipns content, and download the new content if it changes?

<ToxicFrog>
You can't pin IPNS paths, only IPFS paths, which is why I mentioned resolving it first. You will have to periodically re-pin.
<lgierth>
piajesse[m]: only the current state -- it won't currently follow changes
<lgierth>
ToxicFrog: you can, but the /ipns path will get resolved to its current /ipfs path before pinning
<lgierth>
i.e. you can do ipfs pin /ipns/ipfs.io, but that'll only pin the current version
<lgierth>
there's an `ipfs name follow` command in the works
<piajesse[m]>
alright
<piajesse[m]>
so you can tell it to repin ever 15 minutes or so
