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

Filecoin Foundation Successfully Deploys IPFS in Space
> CDNs
If you think IPFS is trying to "re-spin CDNs as their invention", I'm pretty sure you misunderstand what IPFS. The homepage is a great starting point if you're curious rather than antagonistic: https://ipfs.tech/
> IPFS doesn't solve persistence of data
I don't think it claims to solve this either? What it does claim to solve is the persistence of identifiers of data.
> doesn't solve churn in p2p systems
What P2P system has ever done so or even claimed to have done so?

Build an AI-powered NFT generator with TS, GPT, Polygon and CASE (Part 1/2)
We will create a web app that will let users mint a NFT in one click: creating an AI art from a prompt, storing it on IPFS and mint the unique NFT in Polygon so you can see it on OpenSea. Pretty cool right ?

Building Trust in a Trustless World: Decentralized Applications Unveiled
IPFS, which stands for Inter-Planetary File System, is a decentralized storage system where files are distributed among peers in a peer-to-peer (P2P) network. It operates on a "content addressable" model, meaning that each file is given a unique hash that serves as its identifier. By using this hash, you can retrieve any file from any IPFS node in the network.

Mirrors or alternatives to e621 on the decentralized / distributed web
Was thinking of something and figured it would be a good opportunity to ask here. With the censorship madness going on in the world and furry community included, I often worry if even places like e621 can remain free and open in the face of increasing pressure by increasingly angry and authoritarian crowds. For both this and other geek reasons I've been interested in decentralized internet technology for a long time, following projects like IFPS which I just love as a concept.

Alternative to Youtube Vimeo
I post a lot about IPFS, I was using the 'ipfs mount' to virtually offer my entire collection from my NAS (on a private 'swarm' of course) to the remote stations.
