#ipfs

@Dio9sys I've seen many such weird "projects" that oftentimes ain't even #FLOSS and all they do at best is being a shittier version of @torproject / #Tor with a less-mature & battle-hardened tech stack.

Wrapping in #Shitcoins makes it even worse!

Like I can get if they actually cared about #decentralization they'd use proven tech like #IPFS & #BitTorrent for hosting & file transfer but there are very few people I'd trust to be skilled enough to "roll their own network stack" cuz that's just barely below "roll your own #crypto" and almost noone should do that!

The Computer Networks Group researches and develops distributed infrastructure for secure communication and computation at all levels of the networking stack. Our past activities include work on sensor networks, autonomic operations of networks, bio- and chemically-inspired networking, as well as mobile code. Currently our main focus is on survivable computing.

The aim of the P2P Basel workshop is to bring together researchers and software builders to share insights and collaborate towards the sound and sustainable development of efficient eventually-consistent (offline-first) peer-to-peer systems. Examples of related projects of interest are Secure #Scuttlebutt , DAT/Hypercore , Cabal , #Tox, BitMessage , #IPFS , Socket Supply co., #OrbitDB , Earthstar , Willow , #Nostr , #Holochain , #P2Panda , #GNUnet , #Hyphanet , #Freenet , #Zeronet , #Retroshare , #NextGraph , #Web3 , #serverless , #maidsafe , #matrix , Other P2P projects that are based on stronger consistency models, such as Mass Market are also of interest.

I recently learned about #IPDB; a distributed database used by #ATProto. I wonder if you could build an #ActivityPub implementation that uses #IPFS for content distribution, and IPDB for distributing the activity data.

#OrbutDB #BigchainDB #DID #CRDT

#STC can be replicated entirely, including the database, web interface, and all files (optionally), to your server or PC without the need to build or launch anything. The only requirement is having IPFS installed, as the entire approach is based on the peer-to-peer mode of the Summa search engine

Anyone know if #IPFS is a thing again after they basically hit the self-distract button chasing the crypto hype?

@dorkweb it is a thing, it's called #IPFS, and they are working on getting it standardized! https://mastodon.social/@schizanon/114892493580282445

Think your files are safe in the cloud?
Tell that to the folks who got banned, wiped, or leaked.

In my new video, I explore why decentralized storage (IPFS, Filecoin, Arweave) is better then AWS & Google Drive.

@DimlyLitCorners got some updates from #IPFS leadership on BlueSky:

The crypto algorithm that IPFS uses for public keys and signing mutable names in #IPNS is getting added to #WebCryptography https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/g/blink-dev/c/T2kriFdjXsg/m/ZeD_PoLXBwAJ?pli=1

There is a draft spec for CBOR which IPFS uses to store structured data int he #IPLD graph https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-caballero-cbor-cborc42/

They are discussing it at the #IETF meeting this week in Spain

It seems they are breaking IPFS up into smaller pieces to get it through standards bodies more easily!

@DimlyLitCorners that's effectively what #IPFS does

The thing that gets me about #selfhosting is that you will never be able to #selfhost #DNS. You will never be free of big tech on the clear open Internet; we baked it into the lowest layer of the protocol. So unless you're self-hosting an #Onion, or #IPFS site I don't see the point in avoiding #cloud providers. It's like worrying about opsec while carrying a cellphone.

#aws #gcp #azure #cloudflare

Here's what Chat has to say about it: https://chatgpt.com/share/686c2e62-55f0-800f-ab4d-e41cdc7d0472

Seems there was some fiddling I'd need to do to get my local gateway accessible to peers, and a --recursive flag that the browser extension gui doesn't give you when pinning.

#IPFS #distributed

I've been disappointed by the way #IPFS developed; it always seemed that it should allow users to distribute the load on their websites. Like, if I wanted to help WikiPedia I should be able to simply "pin" wikipedia.com and from that point on my local node would just act as a mirror. But as often as I tried I could never get it to work that way. I could manually "pin" individual files, but it never seemed like any of those files ever got accessed. Maybe my NAT got in the way?

忽然想起了 #lbry #odysee #dtube 等去中心化影音平台，現在大概只剩下 odysee 還能用了...

其實我還滿看好 #ipfs 分散化檔案儲存技術，不過似乎沒有流行起來

@bazkie @shaedrich well, technically, a website is just a program you run. But you probably mean; what if you didn't need a DNS address. What if your IP address changed? How would users who were streaming your video know you were the same creator? Maybe you hash the content of the video; then you have #IPFS. Now you can't delete your videos, or make changes to them, unless you... create DNS entries for your IPFS node.

@StarkRG @jay @vildis personally I'd rather still compress stuff for speed reasons, as bandwith is the limiting factor, not computational power or storage.

That being said that too can be done by setting compression factor to 0.

I don't host, seed, download or distribute anything copyrighted, but like with @vxunderground and @VXShare do for #Antivirus I've seen enough groups also do some basic #encryption as to avoid any #ContentID-style matching and thus automated #DMCA takedowns...

I just think that #RAR is bad by any modern standards and the whole "streaming" aspect can be facilitated both with #BitTorrent clients (see #PopcornTime) and #IPFS (by sequential-only downloads)…

@vildis +9001%

Why they don't go with tar or pax or plain bzip2 / xz is beyond me.

But I guess they are too lazy to use #BitTorrent and/or #IPFS and merely want to prop up #Filehosting providers...

#tech #shitpost #tar #pax #bzip2 #bunzip2 #xz #compression

Dear #fediverse Community, some questions about @ipfs ,
- is it considered part of #fediverse ?
- are there any public institutions that host #ipfs instances?

I am asking because I am curious of public institutions should be encouraged to host ipfs nodes next to Mastodon et al. Seems like a good idea to make censorship of important data more difficult

Good news from Guix go-team

Kubo, an IPFS implication, has been 100% unvendored and refreshed to the latest version successfully!

https://codeberg.org/guix/guix/commit/ae6afe7bde4b9761cc36065ade0997833697e3fd

You may try it from the go-team branch which would be merged within 30d to master.

Quiet v5.1.1
=> https://tryquiet.org/
Quiet is an alternative to team chat apps like Slack, Discord, and Element that does not require trusting a central server or running one's own. In Quiet, all data syncs directly between a team's devices over Tor with no server required.
NOTE: Quiet is not audited and should not be used when privacy and security are critical. It lacks basic features and probably won't replace your Slack or Discord yet. That said, it works surprisingly well and we use it daily as a Slack replacement.
