@julienxx@mastodon.sdf.org You think Scuttlebutt is more energy efficient than SFTP?

The thing is, from what I tried, the Patchwork client is developed in Electron and is quite resource intensive. Also there is this synchronization step at the beginning for Patchwork and Manyverse which uses a lot too.

I like the ability to exchange offline and to synchronize later, but on the client-side at least it seems quite resource-intensive.

@KillianKemps @julienxx That's an implementation detail though. I'm not sure sftp and scuttlebutt are really comparable: The former is a file transfer protocol that requires both parties to be immediately connected. The latter provides an append-only message log with limited routing capabilities for asynchronous data transfers.
