GitHub - bolorundurowb/dotenv.net: A library to read .env files in a .NET Core environment

Jul 31, 2020

It's not just an idea anymore. It works, and we're currently making it happen. ☑ Multiple music providers ☑ Multiple themes ☑ Cross Platform, powered by

@UnoPlatform

. ☑ Completely open source. Words can't express how hyped I am for Strix Music 2.0!

Finally, .env files in dotnet!

Closing remarks: Build something amazing and share it with the world, instead of quibbling over these stupid terms.

There's a lot of technical nuances to this. I'll leave you with this excellent (short) explainer video. If you still have questions, ask below or try your favorite search engine.

This is also exciting for places with limited / no internet, volatile infrastructure, or extreme censorship. A single cable going down in a storm could mean losing half of all available websites. With ipfs, if ANYONE has the content, you can access it.

As a developer, the possibilities that this unlocks both now and in the future are VERY exciting.

As a dev, IPFS is the biggest thing since the cloud. Put a website on there, it stays online even if my server goes down. Use it in a server, it's basically free blob storage. Embed it in an app, your users 100% own their data and can sync devices. It's an insanely useful tool

has been working on this problem since 2015. They're building the distributed web. Instead of HTTP, software uses IPFS. Content can be requested by anyone and provided by anyone. Devices speak to each other directly, without a server.

Anyone who's used a torrent may know, the file was provided by other everyday people, those who also downloaded it. What if you could apply that functionality to the entire internet?

Distributed computing and p2p tech have been around for 20+ years. It comes forms like WebRTC, Git, BitTorrent, distributed databases, BTC, Kubernetes, CRDTs, etc.

Disclaimer: This is a crypto-free zone. Blockchain is not (and should not be) the foundation of the internet. We have the technology to do this correctly 👇

Distributed computing is also common in large businesses for databases, load balancing, etc. Anyone who's worked on one of these knows firsthand: Just as software must be built to work with the client-server model, software must also be built to work distributed.

Fortunately for us, the pieces we need have been around since the early 2000's. Rather than a single server, let's distribute the data among clients and let them talk. You've probably seen this before. Git: git-scm.com BitTorrent:

HTTP was invented at CERN in 1989, as a model for "distributed, collaborative, hypermedia information systems". However, after the cloud replaced the server rack, it became clear that the vision of HTTP wasn't going to come true via a client-server model.

IPv6 fixes that, but the HTTP client-server model still relies on our new backbones. If the wrong person screwed up bad enough, half the internet could go down. But we deal with that, because few are willing to host an on-premises server, let alone scale one.

As the internet grew, and we shaped it to fit our needs. But we built all this on top of tech conceived in the 70s and 80s. I can't understate this: we had no idea what we were getting into. For example:

we ran OUT of IP Addresses!!

Then Smartphones arrived. Everyone had content, and everyone wanted content. The cloud continues growing more and more. Welcome to the Internet.

The giants stepped in to help. Cloudflare, Google, AWS, Azure, and many more, created backbones and infrastructure to handle scaling for you. The cloud and the backbones were born. Now, small to medium businesses didn't need to manage racks of servers.

But setting up, maintaining and scaling your own server is difficult. Users weren't going to host servers in their homes, so they relied on platforms to do it on their behalf. Platforms and businesses were forced to scale regardless, if they wanted to survive any sudden growth.

At this point, everyone knew and loved the internet. It had supplanted TV, Radio, Maps, News, encyclopedias, etc., and was the information hub of the world. Individuals built careers online. Businesses could advertise and sell to anyone, anywhere.

Great, that works. Except nobody wants to host a server out of their home. So, nobody did, and the world kept turning. Websites like Google, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, etc appeared, and became the "town squares" of the internet. The platforms had arrived.

The premise of the web is simple. I put a computer anywhere and leave it running, and your computer can talk to it from anywhere. A good number of websites are just code files, but many of them are also APIs, which allow you to ask a website to do things on your behalf.

I've been a dev for 10 years, and the terms Web 1, Web 2 and Web 3 are completely useless. But the web itself IS facing some growing pains, and we'll have to solve them eventually -🧵

We've split up this endeavor into digestible bites on GitHub. We also regularly post updates in the UWP Community Discord. If you'd like to follow our journey, we've got you covered! strixmusic.com github.com/Arlodotexe/str discord.gg/bVQCKj476n

Some long-awaited changes are finally happening! When complete, we'll have: - Multi-instancing with different cores and shells. - Major SDK refinements - Proper designed OOBE, setup and settings. - It'll be comically easy to add file-based cores. GDrive, Dropbox, IPFS, FTP, etc

I feel like population growth is partially responsible for the explosion of innovation in the last 100 years. For the first time in history, innovation can be the daily focus for a LOT of people, and the market actually 𝘥𝘦𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘴 it. The next 50 years should be interesting.
