Mastodon (which has a Unix-like architecture)

@mia you can do system calls on both

really, what is a rest api but ipc with more steps

@mia its just some files accessed though http

@mia new idea: mastodon client that exposes everything as a file. want to make a new post? just write to /dev/toot

@mia and yes, I also hat that this sounds like it makes sense.
Its similar to e.g. the sysfs in spirit, being many files where you can read stuff from, or write stuff into to change things

@mia@void.rehab IPC is just Unix pipes with more steps ​​

@niconiconi @mia hostnames at just named pipes accessed over tcp

@4censord@unfug.social @mia@void.rehab BSD says so, for TCP/IP.

@mia i mean the amount of real ipc that's just rest apis via http over sockets is probably pretty significant right
