@jjcelery@mastodon.ie the problem is, MI isn't like a drug. it's actually very much like a prosthetic. that's why so many of us are "infected". we're making concessions (using corporate MI services) but the results are too valuable to care about that right now. #ai #llm #ollama #self-hosted #cc0 #public-domain #machine-learning #meshtastic #ipfs #machine-intelligence #consciousness-research

@happyborg @dalai @jwildeboer I'd not trust any "one time purchase" cloud storage because that model is unsustainable by virtue of recurring costs!

• If one's already holding classes for #IT, it's either feasible to organize some (quota'd!) storage (i.e. #SSH access to a server) or expect the class members to have i.e. some cheap external HDD for that.

• I don't expect them to backup several terabytes of data and if they need to, then there should certainly be budget for either S3 block storage and a cheap VPS or a "Storage VPS"…

Not to mention there's need to not just backup files, but databases.

• #IPFS is IMHO not great for #Backups, but merely a tool to distribute large files across multiple nodes (similar to #BitTorrent #MagnetLinks).

@happyborg The more the merrier. Not sure how your system hides identity of the data hosts. Is there a high-level overview of #Autonomi architecture? And maybe perhaps comparison table to #IPFS ?

I wonder if #IPFS can handle 300TB of #Spotify scrape. Would be much more accessible than #Bittorrent

@fdroidorg @nixCraft I read that message too late. That was (and still is) a very interesting tech stack. I read a bunch about their https://wesh.network/ library and that is very inspiring for other applications P2P networking. It is nice that it is using #IPFS as well.

@FediTips

The situation with #Guppe wouldn't happen if it was really decentralized aka #p2p fault tolerant tech. Like #Namecoin , .ens IPNS #IPFS, or #nostr #pubky #ZeroNet

@dandylover1
ipns://seedit.eth plebbit.com hashchan.org are interesting.

Meanwhile #Friendica & #Hubzilla have some groups too.

also shout out to @newsmast , they host few communities, check them out.

I've tried fedigroups.social & it's hard to use, unintutive & obscure. I see just a mastodon server there. It is not clear & obvsious from main home page how to list groups, posts inside groups, group members.

With such trend no wonder why people look back to #Usenet. However I think #XMPP is more usable (it does have groups and proto social network inside too)

The Computer Networks Group researches and develops distributed infrastructure for secure communication and computation at all levels of the networking stack. Our past activities include work on sensor networks, autonomic operations of networks, bio- and chemically-inspired networking, as well as mobile code. Currently our main focus is on survivable computing.

https://p2p-basel.org

The aim of the P2P Basel workshop is to bring together researchers and software builders to share insights and collaborate towards the sound and sustainable development of efficient eventually-consistent (offline-first) peer-to-peer systems. Examples of related projects of interest are Secure #Scuttlebutt , DAT/Hypercore , Cabal , #Tox, BitMessage , #IPFS , Socket Supply co., #OrbitDB , Earthstar , Willow , #Nostr , #Holochain , #P2Panda , #GNUnet , #Hyphanet , #Freenet , #Zeronet , #Retroshare , #NextGraph , #Web3 , #serverless , #maidsafe , #matrix , Other P2P projects that are based on stronger consistency models, such as Mass Market are also of interest.

I've built a thing.

Sometimes my follower count seemingly fluctuates at random. To understand why, I dug into the #MastodonAPI and created "fedi-followers":

A privacy-friendly #fediverse #followers explorer as local-only static web app, decentrally hosted on the #ipfs. See who's actually following (and unfollowing) you over time and much more.

Is anyone working on #P2P server software compatible with #ActivityPub? It seems natural to be able to donate network resources instead of cash, and would make services even more difficult to censor.
