I was wondering if you knew why mutable torrents are still widely unsupported and why the technology didn't really "take off"? I'm currently doing an implementation of BEP 46 using libtorrent DHT primitive APIs and just wondered if there's something fundamental I'm missing. Thank you for your time.

Very easy lifecycle "hooks", much easier than react with useeffect etc, and safer in that the risk of infinite recursion is far lower.

My cold take: #godot is being massively under-utilized as a non-game software development framework.
My warm take: The lifecycle of nodes is simpler and safer than a React component.
My hot take: #Godotengine is technically the largest competitor of react native and the natural successor to electron

The #godot scene tree is held in RAM. So why can't we update it in a separate thread? The implications would be huge performance gains and a much more useful tree. #godotengine #gamedev

Don't you know Twitter is bots and owned by a demon?

The only thing "shitty" about this question is that it's true.

So a #godot game can now download torrents and patch itself which means p2p game content. I'm toying with mutable torrent support which means you can distribute your game via torrent AND keep it up to date, all on the DHT. #godotengine

I know you probably get this a lot but is this for a tutorial or on github or anything? Lovely work.

I am also pro ID cards having lived in Sweden. It is an absolute luxury in terms of quality of life. However, the UK gov has proved they are tyrannical with their treatment of the Internet and they will absolutely remove more freedoms and rights with this tool.
