BitTorrent wouldn't work as a censorship circumvention technique in China. The government would just check the DHT for downloaders of banned torrents and go after them.
However, the creater of #Freenet (not #Hyphanet) says that anonymity layers will be possible; they're just not on by default.

Anyone familiar with #hyphanet, aka #freenet?
I used it ages ago and recently discovered that it still exists (but under a new name).I tried to get it running, but I just can't figure out how to get it to work now.

I tried the container image first, but the ports kept changing on every restart, making it impossible to publish/forward the right ones. How the heck is that supposed to work?

I would prefer to stick to the container image, but I did also try the native Debian package. I couldn't seem to convince it to allow me to connect remotely, however, despite changing allowed hosts and bindings.

The KeepAlive plugin has a limit how many files it can keep alive: it can keep files alive as long as their rate of dropping out does not exceed your upload capacity.

As rule of thumb: big files drop out after two weeks (in that time half their data is gone), so you can at most keep a number of files alive whose total size is lower than your upload per month. With 35 peers I can upload 1 GiB per day, so my limit for KeepAlive is 30 GiB.

“Dentro de la red Hyphanet,
Bookmarks funciona como un índice secreto de freesites, foros y archivos cifrados. Permite guardar enlaces a contenido oculto accesible solo dentro de la red, organizando la exploración y descubriendo rincones desconocidos. Es como un diario de navegación en un mundo descentralizado y resistente a la censura, donde cada enlace es una puerta a información que no verías en la web común.”

@Bombe Haben wir schon einmal über das #Matrix #Protokoll kommuniziert?
Ich habe ein Problem mit dem #Hyphanet (ehemals #Freenet) #Plugin #Sone.

Dieses freche Ding behauptet einfach, ich hätte keine #WebOfTrust Identität.
So ein Quatsch, denn ich habe mehrere & kann mich erfolgreich mit jeder anmelden.

my home server aus.social has been inaccessible and returned 502 error for whole evening \ many hours.
I have not seen any 24h upfront notifications about scheduled maintenance. I have not seen a "server on maintenance" page. This left me wonder.
No one advertised here an "X/twitter or other status/downtime/uptime page of a server" .
There is no status.aus.social or aus.social/status
Whole situation has been made weirder by isup.me which checks for downtime, and "thinks" 502 is normal return code page, marks site as working fine.
So, what exactly happened & what was that maintenance, in technical details?
Is aus.social hosted on single server hardware/vps, because if there was a second server for load balancing - there probably wouldn't be such issue.
Should we expect this situation to repeat?
What is recomended official status page\downtime checker? (that is not hosted on this server and will be accessible in case of downtime)
There is no known contact form with Admin, like IRC\XMPP, outside of Fediverse.
Is server maintained by single person or team or public organisation ?
Also, if it's single person, WHO IS exactly the Admin ?
because this server is advertised and suggested as trusted and reliable on joinmastodon.org , that supposed to communicate to users upfront on any issues.
Also, if you are not on aus.social, but anywhere on fediverse, this is example of how this #fediverse #activitypub is still centralized around single points of failures like DNS, central servers. So my few suggestions to you as user (outside of this issue): Bring your own Server. #Selfhost. You can selfhost static pages for free with #indieweb & activitypub support. Add #hyphanet #scuttlebutt #zeronet keyoxide keybase.io PGP GPG blockchains etherium #p2p #ipfs OrbitDB tox bitmessage jami briar Namecoin pubky.tech keychat.io to your stack.

@derpostillon Vielleicht wird es Zeit für andere Arten der Vorbereitung. Print ist schon gut, um in Deutschen Städten unter der Hand weitergegeben zu werden, aber wie lange können Leute in den USA eure Online-Ausgabe noch lesen?

[Freenet] shows up [on hacker news] and the [top comment] is advocating
against running it because "we don't need privacy against the police".

If you believe in freedom of speech, you should believe in technology
that protects that speech.

This shouldn't be a controversial opinion.

/// Some apps for secure and anonymous communication and file-sharing ///

Inform your friends and family about these tools.

#Briar ... https://briarproject.org

"Censorship-resistant peer-to-peer messaging that bypasses centralized servers. Connect via Bluetooth, Wi-Fi or Tor, with privacy built-in."

#Retroshare ... https://retroshare.cc

"Retroshare establish encrypted connections between you and your friends to create a network of computers, and provides various distributed services on top of it: forums, channels, chat, mail... Retroshare is fully decentralized, and designed to provide maximum security and anonymity to its users beyond direct friends. Retroshare is entirely free and open-source software. It is available on #Android, #Linux, #MacOS and #Windows. There are no hidden costs, no ads and no terms of service."

#DeltaChat ... https://delta.chat

"Delta Chat is a decentralized and secure messenger app."

#Bitmessage ... https://bitmessage.org

"Bitmessage is a P2P communications protocol used to send encrypted messages to another person or to many subscribers. It is decentralized and trustless, meaning that you need-not inherently trust any entities like root certificate authorities. It uses strong authentication which means that the sender of a message cannot be spoofed, and it aims to hide "non-content" data, like the sender and receiver of messages, from passive eavesdroppers like those running warrantless wiretapping programs."

#TorBrowser ... https://www.torproject.org/download

"Protect yourself against tracking, surveillance, and censorship."

#I2P ... https://geti2p.net

"The Invisible Internet Project (I2P) is a fully encrypted private network layer. It protects your activity and location. Every day people use the network to connect with people without worry of being tracked or their data being collected. In some cases people rely on the network when they need to be discrete or are doing sensitive work."

#Hyphanet ... https://www.hyphanet.org/

"Hyphanet is peer-to-peer network for censorship-resistant and privacy-respecting publishing and communication. The original Freenet."

#BitChan ... https://github.com/813492291816/BitChan

"BitChan is a decentralized anonymous imageboard inspired by BitBoard and built on top of Bitmessage with Tor, I2P, and GnuPG."

#DarkMX ... https://darkmx.app

"DarkMX is a new decentralized communication app that utilizes Tor hidden services to allow you to easily have an anonymous, reliable, and censorship-resistant presence on the internet. You can chat. You can share files. You can search other people's files. You can keep a contact list and send private messages to your friends. You can create your own custom .onion site, available to anyone with a Tor Browser."

@danielquinn
Do you want to work on it? (optionally together?) Co-op, or I don't mind if you prefer solo.

Are you looking at github.com/pferreir/pyssb or something else?

You coud be looking at the wrong place.
There are out dated, archived implementations of clients. In python, & Js .
But there are also clients that are up-to-date and work.
What is your OS? do you want to develop your own client, continue development of python one, or just use any client to connect with people?
SSB network is alive, and I've seen few people use it. It just need more love.

PS:
And in case if you'll give up on #scuttlebutt for some reason, deciding not to use it, there is #Retroshare #Hyphanet #Freenet

What do you ( #fediverse ) think of a social networking done on (via) the #blockchain ?
Are there working proof of concept implementations?

Since @silverpill already working on PKI\cryptography for fediverse, blockchain seems like a next evolutionary step for social networking, since it's just distributed (cryptographic) database.

I'm sorry that I lack resources & haven't put enough effort researching #crypto, #freenet , #hyphanet . But it seems to me kinda on topic, So I want to hear from people.
Maybe I want to hear from people like @ArneBab & @silverpill
I don't know here anyone else who work on #p2p social networking.

We just pulled the #translations from transifex into the #Hyphanet daemon again: 5548 new or improved translations.

The biggest change is Albanian that got added and is already 51% translated.

It’s currently up for review: github.com/hyphanet/fred/pull/

A big thank you to the relentless translators at #Transifex!

UPDATE: it’s merged now.
