Chat_159 – Talking Pears with the Ungovernable Misfits on FREEDOM TECH FRIDAY 25
“PearDrive is like, how could you make stuff seamless across devices and how can you leverage that device that has a lot of storage to get the most out of the device that has a little storage?
How do you make it so that when I boot something up, it just syncs to my Linux? And if I delete anything from my phone or my MacBook, I still see the thumbnail and I still connect to my Linux to bring it up and I can even play it directly off of my Linux machine. And if I want it locally to edit with or to share with somebody, I just hit download.
How could you actually make it visually aware of where the data is and make it feel like the data just exists everywhere it wants? That’s what we’re trying to do.”
What if we could rebuild the digital world without the servers, the clouds, or the middlemen that control our data today?
I joined the crew at Ungovernable Misfits – Q&A, Max, and Seth – on Freedom Tech Friday 25 to explore the revolutionary potential of the Holepunch and Pear ecosystem. We break down the magic behind connecting peer-to-peer through firewalls and why the birthday problem changes everything for network resilience. We also dive into the philosophy behind Keet, the current state of Pear Drive, and why file sharing is the foundational layer of a truly decentralized web.
It is time to discover how we can finally reclaim control over our digital lives without sacrificing the user experience.
