api.distributed.press VS Go IPFS

I think the obvious match here is how IPFS can use a dnslink TXT file to point to the content-addressable top of an IPFS-distributed static web https://docs.ipfs.tech/concepts/dnslink/ . This is how a lot of dweb/web3 websites maintain and advertise a non-http mirror. It works out of the box for sites served using https://distributed.press/ (non-commercial, open source) or https://fleek.co/ (hosted).

If you use Brave, or have the IPFS browser extension, you can access sites like https://ffdweb.org/ as an option, or preferentially.

This should be a link to https://distributed.press/

There are several new and exciting decentralized web protocols. I am working on a tool to publish to all of them. Right now it publishes to IPFS and Hypercore, and will eventually serve signed plaintext so content can be shared to Scuttlebutt and Aether networks.

For example, this site is published using https://github.com/hyphacoop/api.distributed.press and it can be accessed over HTTP, IPFS, and Hypercore.

nice/renice isn’t what it used to be[0].

Bandwidth limiting is not built in[1].

For me, https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/issues/9044 is the main blocker atm and https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/issues/2167 is still around and annoying.

It makes me wonder if you use the IPFS FUSE mount and symlink an IPNS address of files that you want to sync if it would be read by Dropbox.

I'm using the IPFS fuse mount to load mine into Plex/Jellyfin. It's nice that I can load a movie into a virtual directory on IPFS and my home and remote servers get updated automatically. (when I update my IPNS) So you could run an official solidaritycinema IPNS address that people load into their Plex as a library.

Maybe tangentially related, I've been interested in IPFS as a network medium. ( Using the IPFS fuse mount ) Rather than syncing the entire file it syncs the Library list. When the Plex server makes the request for the file, IPFS negotiates the download. It makes it more like Netflix.

I've been messing with Plex + IPFS and I think it's pretty cool. The IPFS FUSE Mount gives IPFS network access to Plex as just a regular filesystem. To keep it private within my family I'm using a Private Swarm.

"Implement bandwidth limiting" https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/issues/3065

Going on six years now. You can use external tools (like "trickle") or your OS knobs.

So my plan is to setup plex on a relative's Raspberry Pi so that it works off the IPFS mounted network directories in the same way. They'll have a virtual library that takes basically no memory on their Pi unless they request a video, then it'll start caching to their machine.
