I'm wondering why #Mastodon #PixelFed do not use #IPFS .

#Mastodev

I would very much like to develop my own sovereign #cloud solution—one that is less about synchronizing or syncing files between devices but more about acting as a long term archive. As the storage backend, I would use #IPFS, and with IPFS Cluster it would be relatively easy to archive this data in a geo-redundant way and make it available long-term.

Unfortunately my developing skill are not the best. So maybe if you're interested for a potential collaboration feel free to contact me.

Are you using fedi-followers? If so, you may have to switch to another url because I'll dump the `data0.one` domain soon.

These will STOP working:
https://fedi-followers.data0.one (forwarder)
https://fedi--followers-data0-one.ipns.dweb.link ( #dnslink url)

The direct #ipfs #ipns link will continue to work however:
https://k51qzi5uqu5dgivcxhlxa17kjyawt9kc5a2jdlq44o6kpxspltff5gi3sfyo4p.ipns.dweb.link

You can use the backup/restore function to migrate your data. (Remember, it's a local-only web app, your data only lives in your browser and is bound to the domain/origin.)

@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)

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.
