New docker release of #decentralized #p2p search engine YaCy arrived. https://yacy.net
A better alternative to duckduckgo #searx .
new images are now about 400MB instead of 1.3-2GB because of enhanced packaging. And they are multi-arch!
With docker you can run YaCy simply with:
docker run -d -p 8090:8090 yacy/yacy_search_server:latest

P2P technologies and P2P search engines are more sustainable and fault-tolerant than centralized cloud or VPS-based systems because they distribute data and processing across many independent nodes rather than relying on a single or limited set of servers. This decentralization reduces energy consumption by leveraging existing resources on users' devices instead of massive data centers that require constant cooling and power. It also enhances fault tolerance, as the network remains operational even if multiple nodes fail, avoiding single points of failure common in centralized models. Furthermore, P2P search engines protect privacy by reducing reliance on centralized data collection. By democratically sharing load and data, P2P systems create resilient, scalable, and eco-friendly alternatives to traditional centralized architectures.

alternative classic search engines https://swisscows.com/en http://kagi.com http://frogfind.com
alternative p2p tech to try that provide p2p distributed search capabilities : dc++ , gnutella2 , zeronet , holochain

If you do self host YaCy, or maybe use fancy non bittorrent p2p & publish a video review on peertube - let me know.

Please boost, re-toot, re-tweet this post across #fediverse this is important.

Ryan Reynolds' Interest in Fyre Festival: A Potential Collaboration with LimeWire

In an unexpected turn of events, LimeWire, the revived platform once known for peer-to-peer file sharing, has acquired the infamous Fyre Festival brand. Fyre Festival, infamous for its failed luxury music festival and fraudulent claims, has been bought by LimeWire, which now aims to bring back the b... [More info]

LimeWire Acquires Fyre Festival Brand to Relaunch Experience-Based Projects

LimeWire, a platform historically known for music piracy, has purchased the rights to the Fyre Festival brand, infamous for its failed luxury music festival in the Bahamas in 2017. The original Fyre Festival, organized by Billy McFarland, became a viral disaster, resulting in multiple lawsuits and M... [More info]

#LimeWire Just Bought the #FyreFestival

NBC News: LimeWire acquires Fyre Festival, asking ‘What Could Possibly Go Wrong?’. “LimeWire, the filesharing service that set the internet ablaze in the 2000s before being shut down for copyright infringement, said Tuesday that is acquiring the rights to Fyre Festival. And it appreciates the irony.”

A little update on the Fyre Festival Fiasco.

After the original Fyre festival fell apart, organiser Billy McFarland served four years for fraud. Fresh out of jail, Billy unveiled "Fyre Festival 2" which promptly flopped and was "indefinitely postponed".

So Billy auctioned the Fyre Festival brand, including its "trademarks, IP, digital assets, media reach, and cultural capital" (sic!).

A company called LimeWire paid $245,300 for the package. This is not the early 2000s file-sharing LimeWire but another outfit which bought the original brand and turned it into a marketplace for NFTs.

So a cryptobro company which sells NFTs bought the rights to a festival which is synonymous with bad organisation.

Serves them right.

Bandcamp is like having CDs, but in a digital form where you can discover music, buy albums directly from artists, and keep them in your own collection to stream or download anytime, kind of like Limewire back in the day, but safe, legal, and built to support musicians.

ALSO neat, something I learned about through that video: there's a site collecting these tracks! With cool visualizer bargraphs and accreditation and everything.

What a neat video about a delightful topic: who made all that funky tracker music in keygen programs accompanying illegally downloaded software in the '00s?

OMG! #limewire is back an AI powered now! I'm done! I'm so done! In what kind of alt timeline are we in! We can't be the main one for sure. (I like Marvel) I'm pretty sure it's different now but at the time it was the best way to download a porn video by accident. It was like torant before torant and in way worst.

Page of the lime wire web site. It says: "Upload, edit & share
files of any size

LimeWire is back to reshape the way people create, edit and transfer files globally. Our end-to-end encrypted, AI-powered file sharing platform allows you to upload, manipulate & share files of any size, on any device."

In his first piece for Rense’s site in 2005, #LelandLehrman described himself as “an American citizen of Jewish heritage concerned about the methods & doctrines that the criminal leadership of the Jewish & Zionist hierarchy have promoted worldwide.”

Mark Gorton (the millionaire creator of #LimeWire) & Tony Lyons (the founder of #SkyhorsePublishing, which releases conspiratorial & #AntiVaccine books, including by #RFKJr) are cofounders of #MAHA PAC, & co-presidents of the MAHA Institute.
