IPFS can discover other nodes in the same local network via mDNS -- you don't need to have an internet connection at all to share data locally. Combine this with the recent work on PubSub [1] and CRDTs [2] and you can make many applica

Nice to see this has made it through the standards process -- the `immutable` keyword is tremendously useful for systems that store and provide actual immutable data, e.g. content-addressed distributed systems.

I've had to deal with Hetzner and IPFS too -- my conclusion is that it's Hetzner who are aggressive here. In of the cases I had fixed the dialing-local-networks behaviour, and then Hetzner still continued to block the server for a

Very interesting! We've been using HAMTs in IPFS [1] to make huge directories more efficient (think NPM or Wikipedia), and the memory profile has been a pain, so this looks like a welcome improvement. [1] https://github.com&

The idea of domain fronting though is that the fronting website is "expensive" to block that the censor won't do it. As with everything else, this isn't a 100% technical solution, it has a political component of how expe

We need something that tunnels over HTTPS/Websockets, and utilizes domain fronting [1] with e.g. Google Cloud or Azure. Ideally it'd also work over WebRTC in unreliable mode, but I'm not sure that works with domain fronting.

Oops, it turns out I somehow ended up with decompressed files, that's why the filesizes are so far off. I'm creating a new fixed dump.
