Gregory's ServerThese are very high level notes, and it is worth noting that the document itself is subject to updates - I will likely augment it as the conversation progresses, and I am very open to collaboration and critiques on missing aspects.
Also, as noted above, I did not include any of my more concrete ideas for solutions to some of the challenges outlined (I'm putting something together for that too)
However, this now allows far more room to set out the context for a discussion than mastodon permits.
@sarahjamielewis Fantastic starting point, thank you for writing this up!
Regarding proof that someone indexed an authentic HTTP response, I had thoughts on that a while ago, though I'm not sure my idea is practical for this (or any) use: https://jamey.thesharps.us/2020/06/13/authenticating-shared-web-caches/
I love that you cover query privacy and the desire to do ranking locally. I mentioned yesterday that I'm interested in using data from my local history and bookmarks during ranking and wouldn't want to send those elsewhere, and it sounds like you're on the same page for other reasons.
