I’m not the creator of this program, but its too fun not to share! The comments from the developer and users joining the swarms on the reddit thread are hilarious.
It’s basically a decentralized swarm of docker users. It does nothing except tell you how many other users you are connected to. Some are in the tens of thousands, haha!
This is awesome! I’m now using the swarm to control my living room lights.
I left it running for like 2 hrs and it’s used up 150GB of ICMP???
Working perfectly then

…but why?
Fun :(
That’s cool. I can tell you there are 700+/- different entities traversing the edge router of my network or at least vying for a slot. I’m not sure about adding 41,840 more. LOL
The perfect vector for a nefarious experiment…
Yes, especially if people use the “latest” tag, trusting whatever the container might be updated to do in the future.
And here I am making a “useful” p2p decentralised network that has no users, so this is how you get people onboard 😁
Wish I could find the developer meme of “hey I’m making a neat thing” “a neat thing or critical infrastructure?” “defeated tone critical infrastructure”
*crying emoji*
What are you creating?
The tenfingers sharing protocol, in a nutshell it’s free websites / a decentralised file system (FOSS, encrypted, censor resilient, no DNS, no crypto, …).
Forwart a port to your PC and install a node with a script/simple manual commands/docker image and you’re ready to go. But no one does…
Q: Why did you make this? A: The homelab must grow. ¯\(ツ)/¯
Nice.
Sounds like it’s time to fire up another dedicated VM
You have 128GB of RAM
Who do you think I am, a multimilionaire?
Unless you’re building just now, those 128GB would’ve cost very little.
The cheekiness of the github page had me smirking, chuckling, and nodding along the whole way. I of course spun this up immediately along with the Home Assistant integration…the number must go up after all.
Autobots, assemble!
I don’t run any containers and this made me consider trying to get the whole infrastructure setup 😁
There goes my RAM
I love the description.
Hey everyone, so you just finished setting up the *Arr stack and your dashboards lookin crisp. But you look at your htop and see… unused RAM. It’s disgusting, isn’t it?
Surely when number goes up far enough, it magically gains sentience and godlike powers
Installed, still have free RAM… I think I did something wrong…
Launch multiple?
