Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Publishers Carpet-Bomb IPFS Gateway Operators with DMCA Notices
Is there an easy way to comply with an accountable IPFS block list?
"Implement Allow Lists and Block Lists" (2018) https://github.com/ipfs/notes/issues/284
"IPIP 298: (allow|deny)lists for IPFS Nodes and Gateways" (2022)

Content moderation
As for general gateways, those could be used to pull general illegal content against your will, and allow/block lists were discussed at one point for that reason (https://github.com/ipfs/notes/issues/284). However, in the interim, there is a config option Gateway.NoFetch that causes a gateway not to fetch new content, giving you an allowlist if you also have the content you want to share pinned beforehand.
- why don't we need access control ? · Issue #376 · ipfs/notes

“With HTTP, you search for locations. With IPFS, you search for content.”
> IPFS is basically the answer to the question "what is the RIGHT way to decentralize the web?"
There is no RIGHT way to decentralize the web. I don't think IPFS is right way to do it either.
Tim Berners-Lee's Solid (https://solid.mit.edu/) offers a much more practical path to a decentralized web. The advantages with Solid's approach over IPFS is that:
- Solid doesn't throw out what we already have, and recommend a new layer on top of the internet. Example: ipns
- Solid handles access control which pretty much every application needs. Encryption is btw, a poor substitute for access control. https://github.com/ipfs/notes/issues/376
- Solid has the ability to revoke access (very important), delete data
- Solid can work in browsers without extensions.
- Solid is not muddied with talk of the Blockchain. It's disappointing that the cryptocurrency has very nearly hijacked this space.
- Solid is conceptually simple. You own a pod that has a unique address (using familiar schemes). You put your stuff on it and allow access to people; like DropBox but standards based. Companies can offer paid hosting services to run your pod - more space, bandwidth etc.
- IPFS is not commercialization friendly.
- IPFS performance is unlikely to be great, ever.
Disclosure: I am invested in an open protocol similar to Solid, but simpler. So not entirely unbiased.

Could we create a mirror of Wikileaks on IPFS? Does it already exist?
This, and a bunch of side issues linked from it, is a good discussion: https://github.com/ipfs/notes/issues/281

How to circumvent Sci-Hub ISP block
IPFS is not anonymous and like other p2p protocols shares your ip address.
There's been a bit of effort to get it working over tor for years now but the fundamental design makes this difficult. Also despite all the money that has poured into filecoin this doesn't seem to be a priority.
This issue is nearly 6 years old:

Can I make ENS have a TXT entry that forwards <mydomain>.eth.link to some www (non-ens) domain?
As I see, this is an open issue to be implemented natively in IPFS: https://github.com/ipfs/notes/issues/339

How would you work effectively with an extremely slow 56Kbps connection?
Use a tool like Internet-in-a-box and keep a "local" version of tons of very useful stuff like Wikipedia and Maps.

Discussion: Do you think 'internet-in-a-box' would be a useful / helpful thing to bring?
Internet-in-a-box is a Free, Open source offline internet tool. Its a step up from having an offline wikipedia copy, it has a lot of Ebooks, and a offline version of Khan academedy youtube videos, and more etc

Build a pocket sized touch computer for cheap!
IMO the best use case is https://internet-in-a-box.org/. You download a bunch of stuff like Wikipedia, videos, books, etc, and any device with WiFi can access them. Much better than relying on something like a laptop or old phone with all of these resources on them. Get a couple of Raspberry Pi's and some SD cards and you can clone them all and have lots of backups. They are small and use little power so you can hide them in places that can't easily be found.

I just bought the only physical encyclopedia still in print, and I regret nothing
this is awesome, but for those of us that don't feel like spending ~$1200... may I suggest internet in a box

An argument for why we need to start hoarding books and textbooks immediately.
Not a hard copy, but unless you’re worried about something destroying all electronics, you can make an offline library with Internet in a box.
