Serious question to the fediversers

I am heading toward using technologies that do not point to that hostile South South Canada country. Many of us are doing the same. De-hooking our baggage carriages and adopting new ones, perhaps based in the EU for example.

I’ve been reading about Neocities and I haven’t joined it or looked at what it looks like much, but I want to know two things in relation to the above. Does it have a connection to the hostile South South Canada country? I can’t tell. Secondly, it mentions IPFS. What is the upshot of this?

If you want, you could explain the bearing of IPFS to me as if I’m sixty-five but don’t give much of a toss about technology or complicated shit that programmers waste all their thinking time thinking about.
#IPFS

It wasn't accepted by LearnXinYMinutes but I wrote a #IPFS walkthrough reference folks might be interested in.

Todays #Fediverse academic paper:

Its always rewarding to find papers talking about similar things and contexts to things Ive written about. This is a key reason I dont use chatbots. I value the sense learning and knowing by human thinking, discovery and serendipity.

I work almost completely solo due to topics of interest, but there are people out there working away on similar things. Ie, #IPFS and Fedverse and #decentralised networks.

@seaborgium1234 @bagder some protocols like #IPFS & #BitTorrent (#MagnetLink) are self-verifying by utilizing #hashes.

Last reminder: Are you using fedi-followers.data0.one ? If you do and want to continue using it, please migrate to the #ipns domain (more info in the quote toot below). The data0.one domain will be gone next week.

@ct_Magazin Is this the time for shared storage such as #filecoin or #ipfs ?

@Elizafox so kinda like #IPFS but with changing files...

  • Anything that can run off a basic webhost and not require a #DB server or even #VPS will be better than #ActivityPub!

The latest #Kubo is in #Guix together with the latest compilers:

go-1.26.0
go-1.25.7

Pull gently, enjoy freshness ^.^

#IPFS

#FDroid prides itself with all the measures it takes not only to host great privacy respecting apps but also having a great client that's under the user control. The whole software ecosystem is built to be #decentralized, with multiple clients, repos and mirrors. This means we don't have visibility into how users chose to connect to our servers, be it directly, via a proxy, via Tor or some VPN.

#IPFS adds up on top of these, and we'd like to know: How do you feel about IPFS in F-Droid Client?

Using it daily, love it!

I have created something for my #homelab

I've always wanted an easy way to integrate IPFS with other projects, specially to store Profile pictures and media attachments such the ones in Fediverse and Matrix home instances.

I've decided to spend some time solving this problem - and I've built an AWS S3 to IPFS bridge.

https://github.com/bltavares/aricanduva

The idea is to expose the AWS S3 API for services to store attachements, and use an IPFS Node to actually store the data. It also has the necessary headers to support IPFS Companion in browser if you are using it.

My expectation is that these small files can help increase the resilience of the network, maybe not needing to rely on central points as much. It don't solve all the problems, as Desktop or Mobile fediverse clients will not use a local IPFS Node to intercept the call, but hey, "It's something".

I'm running this at this moment on this instance, to see how it actually works in reallity, and the image attached here is served by my `aricanduva` instance on my homelab. If it can't load for you, try reloading or let me know

I hope this is useful for other homelabers as well
