  • improving download infra
    3 projects | /r/openSUSE | 16 Sep 2022
    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.
  • is there a way to sync Ipfs with Dropbox?
    1 project | /r/ipfs | 26 Jun 2022
    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.
  • 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.

  • Best way to share library with family/friends?
    1 project | /r/PleX | 6 Jun 2022
    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.

  • Multiple plex servers same content
    1 project | /r/PleX | 18 May 2022
    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.

  • Is it possible to create a Mobile app in golang??
    4 projects | /r/golang | 4 Jan 2023
    Currently I am learning golang. And I just thought why not create an Android app in GoLang... And luckly I stumbled upon this GitHub repo: https://github.com/golang/mobile - checked the docs but was not able to comprehend the terms: native, SDK apps, stuff...
  • Why you should use a Go backend in Flutter
    4 projects | dev.to | 18 May 2022
    If you use C#, Java, or Node.js for developing your backend, you may have to rewrite the same existing business logic in Dart on the Flutter frontend. The Go mobile project offers a way to call Go code from the platform-specific mobile development environments, i.e., Java and Android.
  • Making an Android app based in C?
    3 projects | /r/androiddev | 5 Sep 2021
    NDK is a fairly cursed thing dude, depending on your background I can suggest either looking at how golang interop is implemented (here or here), or going for flutter/dart ffi.
  • Uploading an image to IPFS from an Android phone?
    5 projects | /r/ipfs | 29 Mar 2021
    The other way is waaaay more complex, run a IPFS node directly on the android phone with their go-ipfs lib and making use of go mobile lib. Check this one https://github.com/cusspvz/react-native-ipfs
  • Going Places: How I used Golang for literally every part of an IoT system
    6 projects | dev.to | 11 Jan 2021
    This part is one that I struggled the most with as the gomobile package is unstable and also lacks documentation and guides (as we all could have guessed that it's rarely used in a practical sense).
