freenet-core VS OutNet

I just picked Dioxus to build a decentralized homepage for Freenet[1], it will be the first decentralized website people see when they get Freenet set up. It reminds me a bit of my Kotlin web framework called Kweb[2] that I've been working on on-and-off for a few years now, particularly the way it handles state and the DSL that maps from code to HTML. So far I like what I see.

I find that surprising, even in 2010 it was difficult to find illegal content on Freenet unless you were looking at it - and certainly in recent years it's virtually impossible, the default indexes are carefully vetted.

In any case, the original Freenet was never going to be a general-purpose replacement for today's centralized services. For the past few years we've been working on a sequel to Freenet, you can learn about it at https://freenet.org/.

MaidSAFE appears to be just another IPFS which you can pay to get your data hosted on.

HyperCore apparently got acquired and they are a company seeling solutions to businesses.

Freenet 2023 is a FOSS project. I'm watching the matrix server for a while. Ian says they're launching the network in 2 weeks. It is a decentralized data store + runtime. So while the original Freenet was analogous to disk, Freenet 2023 is analogous to an entire computer. See https://freenet.org/

I loved playing around with Gemini. Something loosely along those lines can definitely work. Who knows what will become popular in the future. Extreme web page bloat leaves the door open.

Here are a couple of other alternative ideas for the web:

I think cryptography is a decentralizing force in general, though its intersection with ML is small, Also, related things, steganography, differential privacy, federated learning, all things that tend to decentralize. Anonymizing text fingerprint with LLMs, ML-ish censor evading algo , possibility of a decentralized vector database

Through a variety of mechanisms that you can read about here.

This Friday we will be hosting an AMA with Ian Clarke (/u/sanity) the creator of FreeNet and the recently announced FreeNet 2023.

I have been thinking about this for about 6 years. Here is some more info: https://github.com/rand3289/OutNet

There is no information about how it works only what it does... see my project for example of what I would like to know: https://github.com/rand3289/OutNet

I started working on decentralization a few years ago but saw zero interest and never got to the hard part of detecting attacks. I got a simple test system going that takes care of basic connectivity and peer discovery if you are interested: https://github.com/rand3289/OutNet

They definitely need to see my framework. :) https://github.com/rand3289/OutNet

Yes, avoiding DNS should be a main goal! I do that in my project: https://github.com/rand3289/OutNet

This is what I got to say about that: https://github.com/rand3289/OutNet

Hey, can I participate? I wrote OutNet for decentralizing services: https://github.com/rand3289/OutNet

Compare it to my OutNet where I clearly explain how things should work: https://github.com/rand3289/OutNet

My OutNet runs as a distributed service (backend) and applications connect to it to find peers. https://github.com/rand3289/OutNet

Who uses UDP these days? You can configure router port forwarding for TCP ports easy! Use UPnP protocol. I had to do it for my OutNet project: https://github.com/rand3289/OutNet
