So where is my IPFS chan?
IPFS threads were a things like a year or two ago maybe ? I don't remember.
And few months ago we had some GNUnet threads
This shit isn't popular enough

I don't get why. Am I the only one who dreams about a new usenet where you can shitpost safe in the knowledge that people can never delete your stuff, just decline to mirror it?
>>61725786
The tech is relatively new and still somewhat obscure.
Zeronet has somewhat of a following too.

No, but it's not good for governments or companies. They would loose control over what's going on in the internet and it would be harder to track users.
That sounds a little bit like conspirational shit but people wants to use facebook, google,youtube or whatever, and won't switch to something better because of the poor content.
Only people like us might do the switch but I think the internet lost the idea of making things because it's cool, and now people creating and posting online try either to get a big audience of money from ads.
But I'm with you, we need to burn the web and have something new

Bad goy, should deploy on Firebaseā¢ or Azureā¢.

bump for great justice

If everyone refuses to mirror your shit, it's gone.
IPFS doens't provide many benefits over traditional hosting model. You still need a reliable server in both cases.
>>61729116
the thing is that anyone can be a host for a particular piece of data; and at the same address
in the traditional case, only one server can host the information at the "original" address, anyone who provides mirrors must use another address
this is the key benefit, content addressing
there are also other benefits to content addressing besides availability, such as deduplication, to give an example, lets say one ipfs site hosts a particular picture, and a different one puts up the same picture, the address for that picture is identical, so both sites act as hosts for that picture. in a traditional setup, the same picture can have different addresses, all hosted by single servers, and if one goes down, the user must find another address in order to get the same picture from another server, ipfs solves this problem

Are you aware that when you're browsing 4chan, you're not loading images from one specific server, despite them having fixed address? This problem has been solved long before IPFS was concieved as an idea.
>>61729666
i'm aware of this, that was a simplification, the point was more that not anyone can host the same content at the same address
for example, if i want to host a picture on this page, i can't use the address it currently has, as i don't control "i.4cdn.org"
>>61729778
Yes you can
Page found on one domain can contain links to other domains as well
This is really a poor argument for ipfs
>>61729814
linking to a resource isn't the same as hosting the resource
if i.4cdn.org stops hosting the picture, that link dies along with it
>>61729960
First, i.4cdn.org isn't a single machine
Second, same is true for ipfs, if everyone who has the resource stops hosting it, it disappears
>>61730050
yes, no hosts = no access
but anyone can host a file at the same address on ipfs, which cannot be done with traditional methods
i.4cdn.org may not be one machine, but that's not the point, WHO can provide those machines? can I act as a host for i.4cdn.org? no, i cannot, not without permission and help from the administrator of that domain, and even then, i don't control the domain name itself, if the administrator of it stops letting me host it, or the domain name expires/is given to someone else, i can no longer host it's content
with ipfs, the same content gets the same address, naturally. the address is a hash of the content. if you made an image of say, your ubuntu 14.04 disc, and i did the same, we could both host it on ipfs, without so much as knowing each other, and they would be hosted at the same address, as they are the same file
