IPFS

TL;DR Is there anywhere you can pin content, that is actually affordable for hobbyists? I only need 1-2 GB. I'll likely cycle out old pins as I post new blog posts and the site gets updated. I'm looking for sites that cost the same as cloud provider storage. Not the much higher fees all the pinning services seem to be charging for basic pinning.

Longer: I have a small blog that I am hosting on IPFS, it is about 1GB of static content. I am trying to find some pinning services that are actually affordable. But everything is $20/month and up

One of the advantages of IPFS and IPNS was meant to be that we would be able to get cheap distributed storage. To store a static website on Amazon S3 is only a couple cents per month. But all of the pinning services are wanting orders of magnitude above that.

I have a VPC set up that is just pinning my own content. But it would be good to use a more reliable service than my own. But right now all the services price out hobbyists playing with IPFS hosting

So I was reading though this post on the F-droid community when I came up with an idea

https://lemmy.world/post/23416167

What if libp2p was used to make multiplayer mobile games? Think about it, wouldn't it be cool to have a clash or clans alternative that was decentralized and open? There might be some security issues with this idea but I think it would be pretty cool.

I for one remember playing Age of Empires and I would love to see a game with that same style. It would be hard since your phone would need to act as a server sometimes so that other players could attack you. It would also need to account for modified versions of the game.

Currently libp2p for JVM isn't completed yet but it is still fairly powerful.

I have done a bunch of reading and watched a bunch of talks and yet it still blows my mind. You can just pull data from somewhere and it works. Libp2p is even crazier as it allows a bunch of computers to take to one another without any hassle or dedicated provider.

What's your thoughts on the future of p2p? I think a lot of companies are pushing the cloud and SaaS but really I think building an app on a more decentralized model will provide much more cost savings and reliably. I personally don't think the idealized "dapps" or crypto will ever take off with general society but I can imagine a game or a collaboration platform that uses libp2p.

It seems like IPFS would be a decent choice for video content

Just as the title ask. I just want a file hosting site for images and videos but that uses ipfs

Edit: I found https://www.dreamlink.cloud/ pretty neat but doesn't host the file for you and let's you upload anything.

Maybe I'm too dumb and don't understand but it seems to me it's just like that but with end to end encryption and hashing.

I'm all for it but I've just been curious as to what all the hype was about

Many years ago I posted a few pictures to Reddit using IPFS. It didn't go over very well, the pictures were basically not viewable unless I was online with my node running.

How far has IPFS come in the last eight/nine years or so..?

Is it a fairly decent alternative to something like IMGUR, yet?

I've been out of the loop for nearly as many years, too. But, I'm glad to see the project still here and I'm interested in where it's at these days.

(From the IPFS Discord) Hello @everyone! 🥁 drum roll... 🥁

We're excited to be announcing the formation of the **Ecosystem Working Group! **

We believe this working group and its autonomy will be critical in helping propel IPFS toward a better and even brighter future.

Read all about it on the IPFS blog

I like the IPFS technology as an idea, I can pin my files I guess, but I don't know any communities or services that I wanna use that leverage IPFS.

I was wondering what y'all are using.

I want to use a cms and though it would be cool if it integrated with ipfs.

We have over thousand instances and a bunch of them are caching the same images as other instances. Wouldn't it be nice for users to get image from the closest instance? We already have a lot of data overlap and we would need to „just” implement protocol to find the same data and retrieve it to the user.

Not sure whether this fits in here, but maybe it does and someone wants to read it.

If not, I apologize.

galacteek is a multi-platform Qt5-based browser and a P2P dapps (aka distributed apps) platform for the distributed web.

galacteek makes extensive use of linked data and supports expansion of IPFS objects to RDF. The nodes on the network communicate with IPFS pubsub messages, and use the P2P-SparQL protocol (SparQL over IPFS tunnels/streams) to exchange and synchronize linked data.
