Paper title, authors and abstract: Kademlia: A Peer-to-Peer Information System Based on the XOR Metric. Petar Maymounkov and David MaziοΏ½res. Abstract. We describe a peer-to-peer distributed hash table with provable consistency and performance in a fault-prone environment. Our system routes queries and locates nodes using a novel XOR-based metric topology that simplifies the algorithm and facilitates our proof. The topology has the property that every message exchanged conveys or reinforces useful contact information. The system exploits this information to send parallel, asynchronous query messages that tolerate node failures without imposing timeout delays on users.
this was much less painful than i'd expected. easier than setting up akkoma. which is itself easier than a lot of other software.
it's definitely only intended for Their Stack right now (if you use nginx get fucked lol) but it's still not too bad.
