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?
- Ask HN: Do we have a protocol for interplanetary internet?
- Create bug Microsoft Windows98 to help me get the job and the other

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.

How would you exchange information between places thousands of light years apart? How would "internet" work at such distances?

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.

Alt Text box can't fit one screenshot of text
Interestingly there is some discussion for Mastodon with people asking the limit to be smaller, which raises the question as to the purpose of alt text, and how to properly handle larger text lengths in screen reader programs.

Open source at Fastly is getting opener
Through the Fast Forward program, we give free services and support to open source projects and the nonprofits that support them. We support many of the world’s top programming languages (like Python, Rust, Ruby, and the wonderful Scratch), foundational technologies (cURL, the Linux kernel, Kubernetes, OpenStreetMap), and projects that make the internet better and more fun for everyone (Inkscape, Mastodon, Electronic Frontier Foundation, Terms of Service; Didn’t Read).

Bluesky announces data federation for self hosters
Mastodon DMs have absolutely no privacy: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/18079
For a decentralized protocol doing things right is much more important than doing things fast, it is very difficult (and in a lot of cases impossible) to break backwards compatibility.

Ask HN: Best practice for posting links to large Mastodon threads?
Postmortem on what happened here: https://news.ycombinator.com/edit?id=39305884
The v1 API of Mastodon limits the size of the tree that it will expand for users who are not logged into the server: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/blob/main/app/controllers/api/v1/statuses_controller.rb . I am guessing that this or some similar limit applies to threads being returned to unauthenticated users of the web UI. It just arbitrarily stops expanding the replies at some point, including the main thread from the OP.
If a thread is truncated, users expect it to expand automatically and autoscroll when you hit the bottom. In my desktop browser, that does not occur, and there is no indication that there is more to see. This is the situation of the web interface as of Mastodon version 4.2.5.
The issue is very sensitive to observer conditions. If you are logged into the server, the behavior is different. If you use a Mastodon app instead of the web, the behavior might be different. As the tree expands, the cutoffs become different. If you look at the thread on a different Mastodon server, the tree is different because every server has its own view of the Fediverse.
HN needs a best practice for linking to Mastodon threads in a way that provides a consistent experience to HN readers. The average Mastodon server would be crushed by hundreds of HN readers grabbing the entirety of a huge thread all at once, so this might involve some thread-unroll-and-cache service. I tried https://mastoreader.io/ but it did not solve the problem.
Alternately, we push changes into the Mastodon web UI to warn users when they need to click to see more and assume that people will get used to the navigation.
Suggestions?

Unity's Open-Source Double Standard: The Ban of VLC
>You can defeat the Affero clause by putting the software behind a proxy, for example
Could someone elaborate on this? This is NOT my understanding of the license, and it seems absurd considering e.g. Mastodon is AGPL but the standard install requires a reverse proxy[1]. If using a proxy defeats Affero, why would the Mastodon team do this? Are they stupid?

Welcome to the public domain, Steamboat Willie
Didn't say anything about freedom of speech. And again: I'm not the one to talk to. I don't have any strong feelings on the topic, but if you do, you should take it somewhere that people who can do something about it will see.
I tried to find an existing discussion to help get you started, but couldn't. You can start one here: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues
It's easy to sit here on Hacker News and say "they should just..."
Coming up with a standard for an international project will be a long, noisy discussion. You'll tread on internecine conflicts you had no idea about. Old wounds from past related discussions will come out. People will soapbox.
This is why I have no interest in discussing it. It probably won't go anywhere in a place where it actually could. It definitely won't here.
