  • It just keeps getting worse - Firefox to "evolve into a modern AI browser"

  • Some aggressive and/or anti user changes in Chromium for Chrome are very difficult to change back and maintain, just look at Brave differences.

    And Android isn't publishing the source code publicly, only as a dump from time to time, so open source projects do not get access to security updates & new features...

    I'm sorry to tell you this but open source is NOT in a good place right now. Companies dominate and destroy, with fancy ribbons on top. What we need is a model outside of capitalism, where projects made for humanity can be created without needing to make investors richer.

  • Thank you! Didn't know he had a side series.

  • Is there any search engine which is able to recognise and not index any website that uses ads?

    Jump

  • I'm not sure reality is like you imagine... Blogs were full of ads back in the day. Templates for blogs even had huge areas for ads.

    If you want a good search engine try Kagi. I've been using it for a long time and cannot go back to anything else, since the results are so good.

    And if you want something more curated (old school sites where content is the primary focus) Kagi has Small Web (kagi.com/smallweb). It's like good old days StumbleUpon.

  • After re-reading my comments, I thought they might come as aggressive. That's totally not what I mean!

    Congrats on launching the project! My comments here are to address what might be common problems in a p2p network, to see your POV on these problems, and maybe give you ideas on points you might want to research in the future.

    As far as I know, this is the first "distributed" and "easy-to-use" tool we have. I've never seen something as easy as 10f -i file.jpg and share it! But there are some prior attempts for mostly-related ideas, which could be:

    • Online file sharing (MEGA, MediaFire, Imgur, even Dropbox...)
    • P2P networks focusing on file sharing like i2p or freenet

    For online file sharing, some recurrent problems are: DMCA. How do you (an operator of the network) handle a DMCA request?

    And for P2P networks, the focus always is: how can I ensure I do not host illegal files? Even if they are encrypted, some legislation still can consider it as keeping illegal files (AFAIU).

  • Thanks for the quick answer!

    If you want to share a 1MB website (which is quite big IMO) and share it 10 fold, you'd need roughly a whopping 11MB of storage.

    Is it possible to be a "hoarder", and keep storage for others without adding new files?

    How do files expire? Is there a last-activity expire, random keys expiring or something like that?

    Are there "scores" for peers? If I contribute 1TB of storage but am online only 2 hours a week, am I penalized in some way (like lower trust)? If so, how do you verify that?

    And what about data locality? Is there any kind of incentive to have data located closer to where it is most used? (Like a cdn)

    Finally: if there is a peer scoring system, is bandwidth part of the calculation too? For example: a peer with just a few gigabytes, but 1gbps network to share. Would they receive a better score because of their network? Or worse because of their low storage?

  • Using a strong incentive to share.

    What would that incentive be?

    Possible to modify your shared data or your computer address (IP:PORT) without the need to re-distribute the link.

    How would you handle spam if the content can be updated?

    Accessible to anyone who can spare some disk space and some bandwith

    What about mobile users, who have a data plan limit, low space and battery to worry about (so no daemon 24/7)?

  • It is a lot of fun! Right now I'm back to arch, since I don't have a lot of time, but funtoo does right those older decisions in gentoo which do not make sense in these day and age. And the updates are fast, really fast, since they use git!

    The downside is the docs aren't as good. Not even close. The wiki for gentoo is a great source of information.
