At the same time, I watched Reddit's self-hosted community – whose members are well-known for writing off projects at the first sight of emojis – blindly dive headfirst into Hypermind, a new peer-to-peer app for discovering and counting other users also deploying the app (yes, you read that correctly).

I had the same reaction.

The High-Availability Solution to a Problem That Doesn't Exist.

"You need a service that:

  • Does absolutely nothing useful.
  • Uses "Decentralized" and "P2P" in the description.
  • Makes a number go up on a screen.

Enter Hypermind."

They sure have a sense of humor though :)

The home assistant integration does it for me.

Do you want your living room lights to turn red when the swarm grows? Of course you do.

[–] irmadlad@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

Sure. I mean, it apparently does exactly what they describe. Maybe someone will fork it into something useful. Seems to me it could be a basis for something to be built on. Damn site better than anything I've managed to code, so I can't knock it too much. LOL

Not going to lie, it's kinda hilarious when this stuff happens.

[–] northernlights@lemmy.today 3 points 5 months ago

I honestly think it's hilarious. I'm conflicted to announce that i'm kind of not proud but kind of to be a node :)

Like it says in the README: "Why did you make this? The homelab must grow. ¯(ツ)/¯"
