    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.

        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

        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)/¯”
