time for some kind of anonymizing location data sharing service, peer to peer or federated protocol? that might be interesting, or sketchy, not sure which.

Pretty sure you can download the maps ahead of time, GPS doesn’t require data, then upload the fixes when you get home.
The internet is a series of tubes.
looks like https://lemmyverse.net/ is doing a decent job with indexing at the moment. I do honestly feel that indexing should take place on every instance, since each instance has a unique position in the network, and the indexing parameters/ranking algorithms could be under per-instance control rather than an outside third party.
I really like the idea. There one major issue that I see currently, and that is discoverability. It takes some real effort and time to explore things outside of your own instance. I think the federation of pre-federation content will be important for discoverability, since the foundation of a community is in it’s ranking of posts, which takes time and interaction. Right now, votes, comments, and most posts pre-federation on another instance are just not reachable.
I believe this problem can be solved, and there are a lot of motivated developers here, so I’m all in on lemmy.
Very good introduction to this topic.
That’s a super interesting project. For anyone else, the project overview has some great system level diagrams:
