  • improving download infra

    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.
  • Cheap, reliable way to host free archive of films of solidarity and struggle
    3 projects | /r/DataHoarder | 22 Jun 2022
    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.
  • Remote Plex server and local Plex Server Sync
    3 projects | /r/PleX | 15 Jun 2022
    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.

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

    The IPFS project in Github which requires a Github login in order to star a repo has over 20k unique people come by and star the project (https://github.com/ipfs) with language specific bindings for JS (https://github.com/ipfs/js-ipfs), go-ipfs (https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs) each of which ALSO have thousands of stars. It's fake!

  • Is IPFS Dead?
    3 projects | /r/ipfs | 18 Feb 2022
    The blog and go implementation and js implementation are still actively updated. So I wouldn't say it's dead. There are still pain points to be sure, but I'm still excited about this tech.

    > IPFS can use any transport protocol (see section 3.2 in the whitepaper [1]),

    In theory. In practice, the network (I checked my local node with ~2500 nodes connected to it) is mostly using quic over tcp/udp, more or less 50%/50% split between tcp/udp.

    > This busyness is acknowledged by the developers and should be addressed somewhere down the line.

    IPFS has been killing routers[https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/issues/3320] and sending/receiving lots of network traffic[https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/issues/2917] since 2016 and there hasn't been any notable improvements on that front yet. When is "down the line" in reality?

  • A few notes on IPNS-Link-Gateways and www.ipns.live
    5 projects | /r/ipns_link | 11 Nov 2021
    Due to a full go-ipfs node at its core, long running Gateways at small VM (virtual machine)s (with 1GB RAM) might suffer from periodic OOM (Out-Of-Memory) outages. Periodic restarts are enough to get around this. ipns.live currently restarts hourly causing just a few seconds downtime every hour. This memory leak issue will be fixed with future go-ipfs releases or in future implementations of IPNS-Link-Gateway.
