@p Unfamiliar with tkrzw; I was thinking they should build on LMDB.

@feld @p @silverpill @jeffcliff ok, very interesting to read these thoughts on the degraded state of IPFS and how unfit it currently is for use with fedi (in browser as an add-on and as a server).

it fits with my thesis that foss on m$github is getting slowly compromised, by the shell accounts that the corporate state have on that weaponized platform.... a controlled platform, at best, and a platform that deanonymizes devs, which is a way to control them at the very least.

Id consider going back to 2021 and looking at their codebase then, and comparing it to today, there were some very prominent independent media folk talking about IPFS back then and so i suspect that THAT is when the controlled demolition may have started. My understanding is once the corporates have their sights on a codebase they force the programmers to accept bad tradeoffs. Trade-offs exist everywhere, and permutations of tradeoffs can be chosen ad-infinitum. my learned experience is that foss on mshithub tends to not improve in ways that would allow it to compete with corposhit, especially in the #ux department.

to accelerate  fediverse centric adaptations, just over a week ago i wrote about having #ipfs on another repo and i now, having read both your comments i think it may need to indeed be a fork. a week ago i suggested the acronym DCN (decentralised content network) a tongue-in-cheek reference/reversal of CDN....

so yeah if anyone wants to run with that idea, u have my blessing

@frogzone @jeffcliff @p @feld Performance issues with IPFS were there from the beginning. Many hoped that Protocol Labs will fix them but that didn't happen, perhaps due to the inherent limitations of the protocol, or due to incompetence.
In any case, this is not a "controlled demolition". There was a shift to NFTs and then Filecoin around 2020, but I don't think that affected IPFS in a negative way

@silverpill @frogzone @jeffcliff @p Filecoin was supposed to have a new and improved storage backend but I haven't seen any details about it

@silverpill @jeffcliff @p @feld @smallcircles fwict nfts were a well-orchestrated #moneylaundering op and distraction and #socialengineering attack, and affected a lot of stuff in a negative way.... if it had the effect of derailing the development of ipfs then that would be another feather in its cap.

i remember stumbling across a govt radio station when it was doing an upbeat report about NfTs.... was clearly designed for young people to get into it, i wonder what they were trying to disract the kids from *cue sarcastic voice*.
