I'm not the creator of this program, but its too fun not to share! The comments from the developer and users joining the swarms on the reddit thread are hilarious.

It's basically a decentralized swarm of docker users. It does nothing except tell you how many other users you are connected to. Some are in the tens of thousands, haha!

The perfect vector for a nefarious experiment...

[-] markstos@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

Yes, especially if people use the “latest” tag, trusting whatever the container might be updated to do in the future.

There goes my RAM

[-] Kirk@startrek.website 2 points 4 months ago

I love the description.

Hey everyone, so you just finished setting up the *Arr stack and your dashboards lookin crisp. But you look at your htop and see... unused RAM. It’s disgusting, isn't it?

[-] B0rax@feddit.org 7 points 4 months ago

Q: Why did you make this? A: The homelab must grow. ¯\(ツ)/¯

Nice.

[-] Valmond@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 4 months ago

And here I am making a "useful" p2p decentralised network that has no users, so this is how you get people onboard 😁

Wish I could find the developer meme of “hey I’m making a neat thing” “a neat thing or critical infrastructure?” “defeated tone critical infrastructure”

[-] RheumatoidArthritis@mander.xyz 2 points 4 months ago

What are you creating?

[-] Valmond@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

The tenfingers sharing protocol, in a nutshell it's free websites / a decentralised file system (FOSS, encrypted, censor resilient, no DNS, no crypto, ...).

Forwart a port to your PC and install a node with a script/simple manual commands/docker image and you're ready to go. But no one does...

[-] RheumatoidArthritis@mander.xyz 1 points 4 months ago

Nice - but it's a pretty crowded space between Zeronet and IPFS and possibly others. And even these well-known ones barely see any serious use. And these projects have been promoted pretty heavily. You need fanatical users ;)

[-] Valmond@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 4 months ago

Yeah for sure (Fanatic users come to me!) and I don't have the promotional skill or funds, but Zeronet is a bitcoin horror (IMO) and IPFS is like the grandpa of decentralised sharing, cumbersome and lacking simple things like the ability to update a file.

One day it'll take off because of its ease of use and elegance, that's what I keep telling myself anyways 😅!

You have 128GB of RAM

Who do you think I am, a multimilionaire?

[-] ExcessShiv@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 4 months ago

Unless you're building just now, those 128GB would've cost very little.

[-] gravitywell@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

This is awesome! I'm now using the swarm to control my living room lights.

[-] Steamymoomilk@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 months ago

Based

[-] ada@piefed.blahaj.zone 2 points 4 months ago

Installed, still have free RAM... I think I did something wrong...

[-] InnerScientist@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Launch multiple?

[-] irmadlad@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

It does nothing except tell you how many other users you are connected to.

.......but why?

[-] x00z@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Fun :(

[-] kmoney@lemmy.kmoneyserver.com 2 points 4 months ago

The cheekiness of the github page had me smirking, chuckling, and nodding along the whole way. I of course spun this up immediately along with the Home Assistant integration...the number must go up after all.

[-] parzival@lemmy.org 3 points 4 months ago

I left it running for like 2 hrs and it's used up 150GB of ICMP????? 

[-] Archer@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

Working perfectly then

[-] parzival@lemmy.org 1 points 4 months ago

I left it running for like 2 hrs and it's used up 150GB of ICMP????? 

[-] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 1 points 4 months ago

Surely when number goes up far enough, it magically gains sentience and godlike powers

[-] Cyber@feddit.uk 1 points 4 months ago

I don't run any containers and this made me consider trying to get the whole infrastructure setup 😁
