IPFS

“IPFS is or is something like one piece of that picture but there are other essential pieces to complete that picture.”

“IPFS could do it but IPFS has been very very poorly maintained.”

“sounds a lot like things like IPFS, which have also completely failed to displace either cloud storage or buying a bunch of disks”

“adopting something that is forward compatible at the ecosystem/community level like ipfs makes sense to me”

“I'm not sure where IPFS went wrong, but I think our web will continue to degrade until we figure it out.”

“IPFS implements building blocks for such an alternative web.”

“Probably the best use case for onion routing and IPFS.”

“host some version of an Encarta/encyclopedia that would be so distributed it would probably survive world wide catastrophe”

“Censorship resistant in the same sense that bittorrent is, with no single centralized server or domain registration to target.”

“It was also pretty slow (download rate wise), even if the destination and source node had a good link between them.”

“IPFS is a much better fit for the purpose when you dig into the details”

“Some achingly beautiful design, willingness to completely disregard existing messy conventions”

“A grant to an individual maintainer is not the same as a named owner with commit rights and a release process.”

“Saving bandwidth for the website operators and distributing storage of content”

“the foundation of it had limits that were extremely hard to work past”

“nobody uses IPFS for anything business critical since it's not all that great at doing things that you need from file storage systems”

“content addressed storage with cryptographic (not in a crypo coin way) names makes a lot of sense”

“Being economically non-viable without grants is one way that anti-censorship technology is ineffective at its stated goal.”

“Content-addressable decentralized storage -- not tied to a cryptocurrency -- is really valuable for censorship-resistant archiving”

“how it could be seen with relative ease on the standard internet”

“That way others can download them and keep them available even if your server is down”

“every version of the code is immutable and impossible to delete”

“IPFS solves this issue by just hashing the contents of the file.”

“IPFS would be much better for something like LFS support than git repos itself”

“That feels more distributed than the sorts of HTTP servers mentioned in TFA.”

“IPFS in my limited experience is slow but reliable.”

“more like you want better decentralization, like IPFS or BitTorrent”

“tracker/ad/algorithm free static site on the status quo of http, or something newer like IPFS, is worlds better”

“I guess I'd rather have something approaching bittorrent, edonkey/kad, ipfs, blockchain, webarchives.”

“They should serve them all via IPFS if they haven't done it already”

“What makes systems like content-addressed storage (e.g., IPFS/IPLD) powerful”

“The shadow libraries Anna's Archive and Library Genesis host books via IPFS.”

“IPFS support interface binding, hard disk quotas, working as a router or not, and bandwidth quotas among several settings.”

“I like IPFS but decentralized storage is just awfully expensive to maintain without any reward.”

“It's just static content, so it has sense to be distributed between nodes.”

“IPFS or even GitHub should do, no crypto payments required.”

“I clicked an IPFS link years ago, it loaded for a long time and never actually loaded anything”

“host your website on a decentralized network like Bluesky or IPFS for free”

“P2P and federation tech is really cool stuff! I feel like ipfs is what most non-tech people thought the cloud was, perhaps even what it should've been.”
