Wow, the post-fossil era has begun. I'm optimistic about the aims and curious about the design.
I guess hashes would be taken before encryption and then stored with other plaintext metadata. Would the public be aware which files I possess if they know my mail (by recognising the filename or the hash)? >From what Bakul says there are some kind of servers in use (run by third party's?). Are they trusted to encrypt things on my behalf, or are they just receiving the already encrypted versions from me with some amount of plaintext metadata as mentioned before? good to see something new again. hiro On 2/23/17, Charles Forsyth <[email protected]> wrote: > I don't think it's a reworking of 9P. > It's closer to an older style of distributed file system, closer to > Amoeba's or the Cambridge Distributed System, > and using full-content storage operations on content accessed through a > separate and global name service. > 9P (and relatives) allow a huge assortment of surprisingly different > service types to be represented and accessed in a uniform way, > where conventional file storage is easily the least interesting service. > (That isn't a criticism: both this and 9P-like things have their place.) >
