Very interesting thanks. I've been following/helping #SafeNetwork and was wondering about connecting with #IPFS (maybe as a way to host content permanently) so started following the hashtag today and reading up. But it's such a big project!
Your blog is very interesting, and seems similar to ideas for compute on SN. I'll be following your work. Good luck. @everywherecomputer
Happy to talk more about IPFS. It’s actually not about permanent storage, but rather permanent, immutable identifiers - content addresses - that point to self verifying data.
From my POV — permanent, global content addresses are a great starting point to build lots of things on, and collaborating on a commons network is part of that.
Hi #ipfs hashtag followers. Is there any discussion going on at all about what the tech could do for #multiplayeronlinegames , whether #mmorpg or #coopgaming ? I would be very interested to listen in and hopefully participate ;)
Thanks in advance!
Ok so I think the IPFS is probably the most coolest and futuristic decentralized server project I have ever seen by far, huge game changer. The fact that you can host an entire HTML site free of charge is insanity to me. Think about the possibilities hosting your own indie musics, comics, arts, stories and games. It may not replace social media but it's great for creating personal website :BlobhajBlanketBlue:. #ipfs#decentralization#peertopeer#p2p#internetprotocol#technology

The concept is really cool, but give it a try, it's not terribly smooth unless you're using a high power machine on a really fast connection. Hope it develops into something amazing, but it's got some rough spots at the moment.

Also keep an eye out for #SafeNetwork which is coming together. Initially for perpetual data storage but websites will follow. Truly automous #p2p, so no gatekeepers, servers etc.
Uses content addressing like #IPFS but acts like one big server, so no need for you or any particular device to be online for your data to remain secure and accessible from anywhere.
I think 2024 is already a very exciting year for p2p networks. Can't wait for the apps.
I’ve been aware of this collaboration for years, but it is so cool that they are announcing successful experiments. The Interplanetary File System is no longer just a clever name. It can be used to send data to nodes on satellites in space. Next, the moon!
@stevenaleach Exciting!
I think using CIDs as filenames might be confusing tho, as different CIDs can come from the same data (eg. you use CIDv0 but some future server sharing it uses CIDv1; or if someone switches from SHA256 to Blake3; or if that server uses different settings to yours).
The #InternetArchive has a non-functioning #Filecoin (storage) and #IPFS (transfer) option for retrieval they’ll hopefully be fixing, perhaps uploading with human filenames would be better?

If you don't know #ipfs , it's a peer-to-peer system for finding and then distributing data to and from you, wherever you are, whereever the data is, without unnecessary intermediaries. https://github.com/ipfs/awesome-ipfs
I'm going to nip over to hear the talk on #iroh, which is a new sibling implementation of some parts of the IPFS stack, but if you want to see how IPFS is doing in the browser, follow along with https://kyledenhartog.com here: https://bit.ly/ipfs-browser-talk
@bagder I just skimmed through spec sheet and I guess you're right if you technically don't need it in libcurl to make ipfs work then by adding pointless code its just making another attack surface for libcurl
