freenet-core VS zeronet-conservancy

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.

Isn’t Zeronet abandoned already? It’s decentralised network, but it probably has got a ton of security vulnerabilities because of the dependencies. It should be really running only in VM, and behind Whonix unless you want to accidentally leak the IP through some vuln.

There are forks of it, but I don’t know how trustworthy they are. It’s probably the most popular.

a new minor version of zeronet-conservancy is released

today /r/riza committee is happy to announce another minor version of zeronet-conservancy, the most actively developed fork of ZeroNet that cares about your security and privacy. in v0.7.8 changelog:

you may want to consult with https://github.com/zeronet-conservancy/zeronet-conservancy/issues to see existing issues and maybe pick something from there

0net is p2p decentralised web alternative ;) i'm currently maintaining one of the implementations (forks) , but originally i literally came there to post my music 'cause i didn't want to deal with hosting my music on one of the imperfect third-party sites

type/copypaste git clone https://github.com/zeronet-conservancy/zeronet-conservancy.git into command line

that could be returned as long as it's made secure (see #62 and #100

another minor release in preparation for a major beta some time later this month
