freenet-core VS raddi

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.

Hello :) Check out my raddi.net (work in progress). If you can help or wish to know about launch, then we have /r/raddi

Raddi.net

We needed that 5 years ago when I started my raddi.net, which is exactly what you describe.

I'm building one, raddi.net.

Ah, China. She and similar regimes are exactly what I had in mind when designing my (still unfinished) raddi.net.

You can check out my project, raddi.net (progress status in /r/raddi, sources on github.com/raddinet).

Exactly! Exactly what I'm building :)

If you're planning to toy with it more, run it with "display:all" parameter, it will output much more info. And if you are really into it, all the already supported parameters are documented in: https://github.com/raddinet/raddi/blob/master/doc/parameters.txt

I researched Nostr a little, to determine how it compares to my Raddi.net, especially since they seem well funded and if Nostr were to attempt to accomplish the same, I could... well I don't exactly know what it would mean.

Technically, my raddi.net is too. You can pretty easily construct a message, and broadcast it onto the network, from an application of your own. No need to have our software.
