such as FreeNet or ZeroNet?
Just curious, as Peer-to-Peer is part of the underlying technology for things like blockchain (and anything distributed.)
If so, what for? (Unless that's secret, haha!)
Me, no, but how these things work is of interest. It looks like .NET, since version 3.5, has some P2P integrated with WCF and some basic classes, and there's a few implementations I've come across in Python and C# (the only two languages I've looked at at the moment) but so far, what I've seen is rather monolithic -- for example, you're stuck with whatever protocol (TCP, UDP, whatever) that the coder chose, and there's no options for a hybrid approach (P2P or Peer-to-Server), etc.
There's also quite a lot of interesting complexity to the whole concept, not just regarding security, but optimization of the topology, and so forth.

I used ZeroNet for a bit, but since I couldn't answer the "what for" question I stopped using it. It seemed more theoretically interesting as a concept than practically useful as a tool.
Mainline DHT has been more useful to me, I use it more or less daily (though that makes it sound more interactive than it is) and I almost always have a node online in it.

Ah, thanks -- more reading to do. I keep encountering references to Kademlia, looks like it warrants a deeper dive.

For what, if I may ask?

Short magnets without embedded trackers and old magnets/torrents where all the trackers are dead. Of course trackers can be added to them but there's no real way to know which trackers other people have added to them (except adding all of them), so without DHT you'd miss a lot of peers (maybe all of them).

Hi Marc,
While this is not "true P2P," I think you might find it interesting and related, I think, to the topic:
XDMessaging.NET : ipc without server client; very easy to use. I found out, after discovering XDMessaging, that the author had a CP article published in 2007; that's been updated in 2010, but is out of date now. I've written the author, and requested he update the CP article. last dev activity on github two-months ago. I am experimenting with the "lite" package to enable duplex communication between WinForm apps, but the full package can do remoting using AWS.

The Lilliputian religion says an egg should be broken on the convenient end, which is now interpreted by the Lilliputians as the smaller end. Big-Endians gained favor in Blefuscu.» J.

I downloaded linux using P2P, but that was a while ago.
Blizzard use a combination of Server and P2P to distribute their games.
I think Steam also make use of P2P, although I have not used them (yet!)

So, I got an email from a recruiter offering me a great looking role in my area.
Stangely, it's the role I'm currently recruiting for.
How weird is that? 
He'll be hearing from me, but not quite in the way he's probably hoping for!

apply again, double your chances.
Perhaps use your 2nd name (or invent one).
If both of yourself get called for the interview play the twin game (and ask for more the 2nd time - more likely to get your first ask.)
Sin tack
the any key okay

|

Go on - interview yourself (and don't forget to pay your expenses for getting to the interview!)
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Thanks a lot for that thought.
My mind (quickly) turned to the concept of the casting couch.
And he interviewing himself.
And the casting couch.
And . . . damn it . . .

Now you absolutely have to interview yourself, and if you hire yourself, it'll be tough to negotiate a salary with yourself. Tough days lie ahead of you.

In the olden days, they would lock people up in the sanitarium if they interviewed themselves, let alone negotiated salary with themselves. Just saying...

I don't know.. the US congress does this all the time, and they don't seem to have any problems with it. Oddly enough, they get every raise they ask for

If you really want something done, you better do it yourself.

Well, maybe . . . but in my opinion, it's still better to have a girlfriend or wife or both.

Personally I would try to apply, just to check if the recruiter will catch up on his mistake.
I went from hating recruiters, to loathing them

Just read this
I considered going for MS Certs a while back. At that time it seemed like the opinions were split on whether or not certs had any real value.
So, for those who have gotten MS Certs, do you think it was worth it? What benefits did you obtain from getting it? Would you do it again?
For those who chose not to, why not?
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
Everything makes sense in someone's mind.
Ya can't fix stupid.

I was going to many years ago until I realized that you could pay someone to sit them for you so they really had zero value or credibility.
Perhaps it's changed now.

Up front confession: I have no certs
A former co-worker worked to get his MCSE and was proud of it.. but then it was constantly.. that class has expired, you have to recertify. Outside of costing a lot of money and time, he didn't see the value in it. The company we worked for didn't require it and there was no company incentive to get up-to-date classes.
Another co-worker took a job with a consulting firm that required him to get his DBA classes; they used that as leverage to request a higher rate for him. He passed the class because it was required, and he got a bonus for doing so, but I don't know that he ever used the knowledge gained.
So... it really depends on your circumstances.

Never bothered. But I did take some prep classes and those were informative.
