You can check out my library, Nymph.js. It’s what powers Port87.
Unfortunately, I don’t have a whole lot of open source code showing how to use it, since it was developed specifically for Port87, which isn’t open source. But there are test files that show how to use it.
I’m starting to think more that I shouldn’t call my library, Numph.js, an ORM. It technically is one, but it’s very different than other ORMs. A lot of the stuff he’s talking about here doesn’t apply to Nymph (for better or for worse). I just don’t know what to call it though.
Yes, kind of. In a similar way that we can currently authenticate with OpenID. Basically something like a passkey could be issued by your government that would let you prove your (pseudonymous) identity (and thus age range) through their API to a website.
This wouldn’t allow for anonymous browsing, since the website would have to identify you, but it could allow for pseudonymous browsing, since the website’s identification of you could be just an ID number that is specific to them. They already track you with cookies, so it wouldn’t be any worse than we have now, except that it’s more unnecessary bureaucracy.
I used to use Nextcloud and put files in there instead of Google Drive. That’s ok, but turns out, way more than I need. I use Nephele with the Owlfiles app now. It’s less resource intensive. Also, I can manage actual folders on my server. I have a simlink to my Jellyfin media folder and manage it from there.
I was complaining about this last year, probably as they were preparing this. It’s awesome to see someone doing something about it. I wish them astronomical success in this lawsuit, should they take it to court.
The one in Port87 is the only patent I have, and it is not copyleft. I have tons of open source code that I could have patented, including in Nymph, but didn’t. Now that prior art exists and is in the market, those things can’t be patented.
There’s very little reason to seek a patent except to offer the product for sale in the market. It’s wildly time consuming and expensive. Mine cost me about $17k and took me three years to get. And I’m not a big company with mountains of cash and lawyers on the payroll. I patented it so that Microsoft, Google, etc. couldn’t just see my idea and be like, “that’s good, let’s take it”. That would kill my business. Copylefting the patent would allow them to do that.
I’m so glad they’re focusing on this instead of how shitty and expensive our home internet is.
