I Moved My Blog from IPFS to a Server
It's because of the kind of content that is shared. BitTorrent serves a lot of content you are not allowed to redistribute, so having an open gateway immediately puts you at risk of aiding the distribution of content. But it does work, someone even made something native to browsers so browsers themselves can share content: https://webtorrent.io/. There are even fuse "gateways" to make it native to your computer and pretend the files exist locally: https://github.com/search?q=bittorrent+fuse&type=repositorie...
IPFS doesn't seem to be used for that kind of content much, it seems to be targeted more towards web-native content (html pages, images, that kind of stuff). It's probably safer for Cloudflare to run this.

Time to watch my favourite ads featuring videos!
Then https://github.com/webtorrent/webtorrent could be used to actually download the videos in browser, the idea being here though, that you would at least seed out as much as you got. Enabling other's to access videos without requiring creators have the infrastructure to push a video to 1000s or more clients at once.

Reddit should have to identify users who discussed piracy, film studios tell court
Peertube can opportunistically use WebTorrent to ease the load on the server & have clients watching a video share the parts between themselves.

Transmission v4.0
I stopped torrenting some time ago, but what are people's experience with webtorrent?
I'd just as soon avoid running additional software if possible.

Happy new year. I was wondering, what cool scripts would you recommend for mpv?
webtorrent-mpv-hook: enables mpv to stream torrents using webtorrent.
-
Script suggestion post!
acompressor.lua: compressor. blur-edges.lua: fills the black bars on the side of a video with a blurred copy of its edges. createchapter.lua: self-explanatory. crop.lua: crop video in a visual manner. encode.lua: make an extract of the video currently playing using ffmpeg. reload.lua: reloads videos if an online video stops caching. seek-to.lua: go to timestamp. simplehistory.lua: stores whatever you open in a history file. skiptosilence.lua: skip past "previously on...". smartcopypaste_ii.lua: copy/paste links sponsorblock.lua: skip sponsors in yt videos. streamsave.lua: save looped section to a separate file. subit.lua: download subtitles to playing video. uosc.lua: feature-rich minimalist proximity-based ui (my fav!). webm.lua: similar to encode.lua but with more features and no external dependencies. webtorrent-mpv-hook: enable mpv to stream torrents using webtorrent. youtube-quality.lua: change quality of currently playing yt video.

Solarpunk "pod / cell" system
Local servers (dietpi, Freedombox, YUNoHost or similar solutions) which can be used to host different solarpunk content and setup instances on the fediverse (like peertube, mastodon, Lemmy etc.)

Show HN: AI News – Dedicated news site for AI developers
The entire page is based on Lemmy (https://join-lemmy.org/).
I disabled a ton of features and interface parts, as IMO the original lemmy interface is super noisy.
Runs on bare-metal with docker-compose. For the facelift, just good old CSS :)

Reddit faces content quality concerns after its Great Mod Purge
https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy is a social link aggregator very similar to Reddit, powered by fediverse. Think of it like anyone can host an instance for their community, and all instances can interact with each other. For example check out the instance at https://beehaw.org/

Ask HN: Which Lemmy communities and instances are you visiting daily?
The guide is copied below, from https://subredditstats.com/subreddit-user-overlaps/

#### I think this site may break or stop updating soon due to Reddit's API changes. I don't earn any money from this site, and if my calculations are correct it'd cost me a couple thousand dollars per month with their new API pricing, so yeah. If you can, it's probably worth leaving Reddit for other platforms - especially open-source/federated ones like [Lemmy](https://lemmy.world/).
*Note 1*: People are sometimes confused by the fact that there are multiple Lemmy websites like [lemmy.world](https://lemmy.world/) and [lemmy.ml](https://lemmy.ml/) - don't worry about that. Just sign up on *one* site, and you'll be able to join and interact with communities on *any* other Lemmy site. Choosing which Lemmy site to sign up to is a bit like choosing your email provider - e.g. if you use gmail, you can still communicate with people who use other email services like yahoo or protonmail. The reason there are multiple sites is because _anyone_ can create their own Lemmy instance - so no single person or company controls the '[fediverse](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fediverse)'. Just choose a popular and reputable one like [lemmy.world](https://lemmy.world/).
*Note 2*: You can use [lemmyverse.net](https://lemmyverse.net/communities) to help you find communities across the whole fediverse. If you've signed up to lemmy.world, then you can visit 'local' communities like [lemmy.world/c/memes](https://lemmy.world/c/memes) - and if you want to subscribe to or interact with a community on a _different site_, then just add @SiteName to the end of the community URL. For example, if you're signed up to lemmy.world, but you prefer the lemmy.ml memes community, then you can visit [lemmy.world/c/memes*@lemmy.ml*](https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected]) to subscribe to and interact with the lemmy.ml memes community.
*Note 3*: Lemmy is based on the same technology as [Mastodon](https://mastodon.social/explore). Both services "speak the same language" (that language is called 'ActivityPub'), so you can view and interact with Mastodon content from Lemmy, and vice versa. They're both part of the '[fediverse](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fediverse)', but Lemmy provides a Reddit-like experience, whereas Mastodon is more like Twitter.
*Note 4*: It's worth mentioning that Lemmy is young - the Lemmy [devs](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy) are working hard to quickly improve the software, and server admins have been constantly moving to larger machines to support the influx of new users, so please be patient with bugs and issues. Also, the only way to grow Lemmy is for people like you to spend time on the site daily, interact, create new communities, etc. - please [join us](https://lemmy.world/signup) on this new adventure :)

Teddit Is Shutting Down
So I clicked "sign up" and it suggested checking if there might be another instance best suited to my needs, so I followed the proposed link to https://join-lemmy.org/ and got the "join a server"/"run a server" option. After clicking "join a server" and scrolling the list of half added descriptions I just left because it felt like I was supposed to be making a choice about the community I want to join before even checking the damn thing out. Reddit is the opposite, just sign up and explore the subreddits and pick the ones you like. If Lemmy is anything like that, it's not clear at all and my experience turned me away in the exact way the previous poster described. It felt like I had to pick the subreddit first with no idea what was inside.
