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.
#ipfs
#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
#ipfs #libgen

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 web services is that you will never be able to #selfhost your TLD domain. You will never be free of big tech on the clear open Internet; we baked it into DNS, 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 calling yourself Vegan and working at KFC.
are there some #ipld guys in my bubble ?
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.
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?
@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)โฆ
๐ Introducing LibreUI to the Fediverse!
What happens when a 14-year-old decides to build React components the right way?
โจ LibreUI โ free software that respects your freedom
๐ Hosted on IPFS, not corporate clouds
๐จ Beautiful components built on Radix UI
๐ Copy-paste ready, no installations
This isn't just a library โ it's proof young devs can create meaningful tools.
Who's ready to build without compromise?

"[ed.: #IPFS] This is a decentralized network where users make files available to each other. The system makes websites censorship resistant and not vulnerable to regular hosting outages.
These advantages allow archivists, content creators, researchers, and many others to reliably distribute large volumes of data over the Internet. Wikipedia has used itโs for example, and Lockheed Martin helped to launch an IPFS node into space."

@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...
