Telegram is dieing
Telegram partnering with Elon’s #AI to distribute #Grok inside chats is a clear line crossed. This matters because private data ≠ training fodder, bringing Grok (or any #LLM) into messaging apps opens the door to pervasive data harvesting and normalization of surveillance.This is an example of platform drift: Telegram was always sketchy (proprietary, central control, opaque funding), but this is active betrayal of its user base, especially those in repressive regions who relied on […]I agree there are tons of interesting innovative concepts that one could possibly consider. Your idea reminds me a bit of #IPFS.
EU Piracy Watchlist Adds IPFS, FitGirl and Njalla

Wenn jemand aus meiner Timeline einen #IPFS-Pinning-Service mit lokalem HTTPS-Gateway gebrauchen kann, sagt gerne bescheid. Es können ruhig noch andere meinen Code testen, den ich dafür geschrieben habe ;).
Probably time for people to really start figuring out how to use #IPFS
Hm,
somehow the google „AI“ says that Deno got special IPFS CIDs.
That sounds terrible not interoperable.
I suggest that #IPFS does not follow googles proposal and that a CID is the same in every language !!! (!)
@deno_land
I wonder if the #fediverse could utilize #IPFS to reduce the number of instances throwing around media files like crazy.
I've built a thing.
Sometimes my follower count seemingly fluctuates at random. To understand why, I dug into the #MastodonAPI and eventually created "fedi-followers":
A privacy-friendly #fediverse #followers explorer as local-only static web app, decentrally hosted on the #ipfs. See who's actually following (and unfollowing) you over time and much more.
@goldfishlaser thanks! I am always on the lookout for any decentralizing technologies.
This #meshtastic looks good, but I'm primarily interested in such platforms or networks which can handle #tcpip or #ipfs .
Initializing a new project - Interplanetary Markdown. Might explore a #Web3 (off-chain) approach later for a better experience, but for now, keeping it simple with good old #OpenPGP.
A censorship-resistant #Markdown publishing platform, enabling seamless content distribution. Powered by the Interplanetary File System (#IPFS), ensuring #blogs, #articles, and other written content remain accessible and verifiable across the distributed web.
How is one supposed to find files on #IPFS?
I love that it's based on #DHT of old https://docs.ipfs.tech/concepts/dht/#kademlia though in practice mediated by a central indexer (IPNI) https://docs.ipfs.tech/concepts/ipni/ .
But what made DHT useful in #eMule was the search by filename or other human-readable metadata, so of course they removed all of that!?

So you can't search a file by its checksum, let alone its filename. You need to know someone who already has the file, and ask them where to look.
Harnessing the Power of OrbitDB: A New Frontier for Decentralized Applications
As the demand for decentralized applications (dApps) grows, OrbitDB emerges as a cutting-edge solution, leveraging peer-to-peer technology and IPFS for seamless data management. This article dives int...
@msbellows @cslinuxboy While it would help with bandwidth issues, it's no isp.
Unfortunately, most apps and websites are currently built with the client-server model. Local first applications go a long way but are a lost art.
Content addressed p2p like #ipfs goes further, can help alleviate power imbalances and users can retrieve from and rehost for anyone. It's needed but hasn't taken off enough yet.
Hasn't stopped me from building and helping others build, but we can only build so fast.
@tasket I've been building something entirely custom using #ipfs to onboard my own Discord community onto a ship we can jump to if need be. It's the best we can hope for right now.
Hoping to expand the scope outside of app development communities once it's well-weathered and tested, but the approach to MVP over the last year has been slow, juggling and building so much from scratch while also making every bit reusable. Need to keep moving forward. Much to organize, much to do. Nearly there now.
Might also be time to get caught up on #IPFS ? In 2020, I built this fun/janky #RaspberryPi console to access it & print files onto thermal receipt paper.
I used Tinkercad to design some custom LEGO bits for #3DPrinting , to mount the guitar strap, arcade buttons, and 3mm acrylic~

Is anyone working on #P2P server software compatible with #ActivityPub? It seems natural to be able to donate network resources instead of cash, and would make services even more difficult to censor.
Hey #internet #cloud #web #infrastructure #persistence is there any #p2p or publicly supported content-addressable storage (#cas) solution? (Other than #IPFS, which I am aware of.)
The problem is that I eventually would want a (few) small binaries to be available "in perpetuity", i.e. not some specific content hosting service. The idea being that if that binary-exact file performs an important function, I'd like it to be hard to become unavailable or disappear.
