many professional apps. solidworks comes to mind

I tried using it for a few months. too many compromises to battery life, the main screen crease etc. just sitting in the closet now. I’ll check back when diverging actually good comes out. flop 4

not recently lol. after doing some research i sadly discovered that crypto has taken a big fat shit on the general publics oppinion of ipfs and proof of replication. filecoin etc. greeeeeeeed is cancer

true. but the spam filtering and future ai spam shit might be a pain

Thanks, yep. found that after some research. found some email client with ipfs and proof of replication but it’s some crypto scam shit that’s dead anyways

ipfs proof of replication?

exactly. i’m not. that’s why i was looking for ipfs, maybe with proof of replication solutions. there’s only dead crypto scam solutions out there

This should be the internet in my opintion. from video hosting to email to message boards

copied from a deleted reddit account, it’s quite brilliant :

ELI5: Whole thing kind of works like a virus

So, the client doesn’t know where your file is. They call a primary server for a list of some people connected to the IPFS network, then ask around that list progressively spreading, like a virus transmitting between hosts

Once the “virus” finds the file, it brings it back to the client, stores a copy, and closes the connection. And since the client is now IN the network (knows where some other people are) then in order to retrieve further files they don’t need to use the primary server any more. Also, other clients can now fetch the file from the original client. So every copy makes finding those files faster — like auto scaling.

IPFS built an algorithm around that concept, to make file cleanup, lookup, minimization, and integrity checking possible. They also use a hash ID system to store data so like, if the hashes match, you could get a piece from file A or file B (whichever is closer) to complete the hash sequence needed to build file C.

It’s a pretty clever system, if you’re curious totally worth reading into the details.

Probably got a lot wrong, but that’s how I understand it.

oh, allocating like 100gb per user would become more expensive for AI bots as well right?

would it be possible to have some traffic encypted, like PM and email etc over a similar protocol like torrents. everyone who wants to use the new web just allocates a certain amount on their hard drive with encryptions and stuff. I know i must sound like a child but it doesn’t sound impossible. am i crazy?

i’m so so done with online services. I researched how to host my own mail server. I already have one for the company, maybe i’ll just move there, but i would like something cheaper just in case the company goes belly up some time in the future. Also i would ideally just share hosting across my devices instead of relying on a hosting provider. Imagine a new internet where everyone is hosting the stuff they need, with some help from a small network of friendly backup buddies. I feel it’s gotten so invasive that we kind of have to create our own internet. Servers are a big hole in that plan, but torrents do work even if some of the seeders turn their pc off right.
