I guess if the copyright trolls got their way, there would be no general purpose computing.

Exactly. These kinds of statements are so naive.

This statement was later retracted. The Engadget article was redacted accordingly.

Unfortunately we are at a point where Cisco Cloudflare and Google are held liable for filesharing-related domains their DNS relays are resolving IPs for…

No, every service provider must remove infringing content when reported. That is not the case on Telegram.

No matter which encoding is used to store data, the hoster is still responsible for it. On mega, the data is encrypted, yet mega is still held responsible for removing content reported by copyright holders (the decryption keys being included in reports).

How come those big hosters get away with such infringements? I guess they must be less popular than Megaupload and such

i2Psnark is an alternative. With a lot less features (and not mentioning the UX)

I’m still using MPD+ncmpcpp. For remote access, I use Wireguard and stream via HTTP on VLC. It’s amazingly fast and lightweight (26MB RAM for 30K+ songs).

MALP also works on Android, might be better with no physical keyboard (now supports streaming also).

A bunch of eDonkey servers were seized in 2006. This was before the implementation of Kademlia in emule. It highlighted the vulnerable centralized part of the protocol and pushed people to alternatives. Also compared to bittorrent, the lack of moderation and low speed played a role.

Sounds to me that the difference is they exploited a bug to get private information in order to game the bots.

The onion option makes more sense (standard solution, battle-tested). Not sure about POW resilience, compared to distributed hosting though.

Yep, you can gossip the list of peers with that identifier.

IPFS has 2 and 3 (they almost f*ed-up 3 with CID v1 actually)

This would be the identifier: rad:z3SNcAzHydhWtfaFTiq9S643GQjYU

I wish they chose IPFS instead of Bittorrent v1.

This feels so creepy to, being watched spending your money by slaves on the other side of the globe, and Amazon pretending it to be automated !

Agreed

Mattermost used to be the go-to alternative, not sure why it is not mentioned yet. Then it looks like Revolt is getting traction now.
