Distributed free search engine and AI tools that grant access to knowledge - ultranymous/stc

I believe that knowledge should be free, you should have access to knowledge even if you don’t have the money to afford buying it. This uses IPFS.

    Just looked up Veilid seems to similar to I2P, but it is still in development and can’t be used for now. Also I agree that IPFS is horrible and not just the setup, the developer themselves are against piracy. What is the point of a decentralised network that picks and chooses what it hosts? BitTorrent, Tor, Freenet, and I2P never did this as far as I know.

      I think you’re all making look a bit worse than it is. I downloaded a few PDFs via IPFS and it worked for me. And I was happy it provided me with what I needed at that time. I can’t comment on reliability or other nuances. It also was slow in my case, but I took that as the usual trade-off. Usually, you either get speed or anonymity, not both. And there are valid use-cases for denylists. For example viruses, malware, CSAM and spam. I’d rather not have my node spread those. It’s complicated. And I also talk in public like that. I think what matters is what you do and implement, not if you say you comply with regulation and the DMCA…

      Thanks for the links, I’ll have a look.
