skynet-cli VS Go IPFS

it's basically in the InterPlanetary File System the base system is used by Akash its fantastic, download the app https://www.akashlytics.com/deploy very low learning and you can host and use cloud computing and storage https://www.akashlytics.com/ for file transfer https://siasky.net/ is great for a different reason .... https://scrt.network/ecosystem/dapps is an amazing new coming feature https://jackaldao.com/ .... the best project for Storage will be jackal coming soon.... I will defo be in on this for many reasons .... privacy and cost

for op, there is a storage blockchain called siacoin. 100gb free and files split between 3 decentralized hosts. seen too many "he died by going 70mph into a tree" stories then the story purged. when the info could have just been posted here https://siasky.net/

The issue is that siasky.net is a public portal/host and anyone can upload files or websites there. This is not really different from other file or website hosts, but unfortunately the company behind siasky.net doesn't have the resources to keep the domain out of all blocklists because they are still pretty small. You can read more about it here: https://blog.sia.tech/the-worrying-depth-and-scope-of-censorship-on-the-internet-ffd4bc5a5486?source=collection\_home---5------0-----------------------

Please, dont remove https://siasky.net gateway domain, we are using for link our CIDs

Not exactly sure, but if you're willing to put in a little bit of development effort, you should be able to build something on top of https://siasky.net

(5) Once you are happy with the result. You just need to upload the folder (where the files are) to https://siasky.net/ via Sinpapeles.xyz.

can be accesses by the siasky.net domain, but what will happend if this domain is down?

You can test Sia via Skynet out at https://siasky.net/

It's not Skynet that is slow, it is siasky.net which is having issues. So it is simply due to the portal you are using to download from. Granted there aren't any alternatives yet for the general public, but there is a skynetpro server that is currently in beta tests and is dedicated to paid users. There is also a number of other third-party run portals that should be coming online relatively soon. Alternatively however you could always choose to run your own portal and have direct access to Skynet and have 100% control of your own data.

In the end, you can download the files and/or upload to siasky.net.

nice/renice isn’t what it used to be[0].

Bandwidth limiting is not built in[1].

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
