Project mention: Happy 20th Anniversary, Gmail. I'm Sorry I'm Leaving You | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-15It really is hard to leave Gmail when all of your data has been conveniently stored therein. This is one of Google's retention strategies and it is indeed brilliant.
That said, there's a vast number of self-hosted alternatives like Stalwart Mail (email) [1], Immich (images) [2], NextCloud (Google Docs) [3], etc.

LBRY 📚 - Another blockchain-based platform, LBRY features uncensored video, audio, images, ebooks and more. The decentralized library is community-controlled. LBRY allows monetization via its LBC cryptocurrency and has a growing subscriber base.
Sandstorm really had this kind of feeling. Not that it presented as a desktop environment visually - but it offered a much more integrated “computer” of documents versus silod web site apps where you need to open each site to see the files in the app. https://sandstorm.io/
> Towards making Bittorrent anonymous and impossible to shut down.
> We use our own dedicated Tor-like network for anonymous torrent downloading. We implemented and enhanced the Tor protocol specifications. Tribler includes our own Tor-like onion routing network with hidden services based seeding and end-to-end encryption.

I first thought "Is Justin Bieber gay?" in their release was some kind of vandalism of their release, but no, they pose that question as a vehicle for how their software is attempting to solve(?) trusted tagging
> The next version will make it much simpler to deploy isolated networks by using TLS roots to prevent accidental peerings.
Is that PR #1038 [1]? Any info on how to use that feature and whether it works over multicast as well?
I noticed this PR uses SHA-1 for matching fingerprints. SHA-1 has been broken for 13 years now. Is it possible to use something more secure?
> It's also worth noting that Yggdrasil doesn't have the equivalent of "peer exchange" — only directly connected peers would ever find out your public IP address. Yggdrasil will not form new peerings automatically, with the single exception being multicast-discovered nodes on the same LAN.
Right, my worry is that by having a server with a public IPv4 address and Yggdrasil running on an open port (so that my other nodes can connect to it) will allow someone to connect to it (either on purpose or accidentally) and cause my traffic to route over their node(s) and/or the public mesh.
Thanks!

> ChatSecure is a free and open source messaging app that features OMEMO encryption and OTR encryption over XMPP. You can connect to your existing Google accounts or create new accounts on public XMPP servers (including via Tor), or even connect to your own server for extra security.
> Unlike other apps that keep you stuck in their walled garden, ChatSecure is fully interoperable with other clients that support OMEMO or OTR and XMPP, such as Conversations (Android), CoyIM (Desktop), and more.
In other cases it may be more documented, such as Golangs baked-in telemetry.
There should be better ways to check these problems. The best I have found so far is Crev https://github.com/crev-dev/crev/. It's most used implementation is Cargo-crev https://github.com/crev-dev/cargo-crev, but hopefully it will become more required to use these types of tools. Certainty and metrics about how many eyes have been on a particular script, and what expertise they have would be a huge win for software.
I just picked Dioxus to build a decentralized homepage for Freenet[1], it will be the first decentralized website people see when they get Freenet set up. It reminds me a bit of my Kotlin web framework called Kweb[2] that I've been working on on-and-off for a few years now, particularly the way it handles state and the DSL that maps from code to HTML. So far I like what I see.

A good Dropbox alternative is Peergos (founder here). Peergos is an E2EE P2P storage, sharing and application protocol. Fully open source, including the server, self-hostable, no VCs.

Project mention: Filecoin Foundation Successfully Deploys IPFS in Space | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-01-16> because, right here right now, that is such a hypothetical situation that I have absolutely no idea why it needs a real-world demonstration of proof of concept using currently-available technology.
So I just want to point out that IPFS was fairly deliberately designed to have numerous, forward-compatible features that could be swapped out in the future : like https://multiformats.io/ and in particular https://multiformats.io/multiaddr/ .
In the IPFS community, there's always been a fairly heated discussion about which bit of the entire system should be stuck with the term IPFS. Like, if you took away the libp2p protocol, and just served CIDs over http, would it be IPFS? What if you took away CAR files (the merkle-tree file format used to define multi-item content)? What if you're a private IPFS network, with no shared nodes with the public network (like https://github.com/TryQuiet/quiet ). What if you didn't use bitswap, the file transfer protocol (Filecoin doesn't use bitswap, and mostly doesn't interconnect with the main public IPFS network). What about if you didn't use a DHT to find providers of a CID. What if you're not using any of the "IPFS" software stack, but your implementation still uses bits and pieces of content-addressability as defined in the standard?
Interestingly, right now, there are a bunch of experiments going in all of these directions: I think it's fair to say that if you wanted to test out content-addressable networks across the solar system, they probably wouldn't be IPFS as it is now, but their nature could probably be described using the primitives the IPFS stack uses, and learning about what needs to change would give a useful direction to some part of the extended IPFS ecosystem.
