  • Don't forget to ...

  • You probably aren't connectable from the outside. You need to port forward to support the network.

  • IPFS

    Jump

  • IPFS is kind of like the BitTorrent DHT. Every file is indexed by a cryptographic hash and can represent anything. There is no general way to search it, but you can build an index and search the index like how torrent search engines work.

  • Update: Downloading all archive.org metadata

    Jump

  • Yes, exactly why I wanted to start this project. It's nice to have the Internet Archive but we cannot trust that content won't be taken down eventually. Even just storage costs might become an issue in the future for data that gets maybe 30 total views over many years. But it is nice to hear some of the data you were looking at is coming back.

    Long term, it would be nice for a community of users to create a decentralized index of Internet Archive metadata so it cannot get taken down and has the torrent files of the content so people can share it and participate in the seeding for the content they care about. The Internet Archive might cooperate to make it easier to do this, for example by using Bittorrent v2 which would help us detect file duplication and not have to use padding files since all files are aligned to pieces in v2.

    Currently there is little incentive for people to seed the Internet Archive content but no doubt it will become more important to do that in the future.

    Update: Downloading all archive.org metadata

  • Downloading all archive.org metadata

  • Yes, I think so. I'll definitely use the example for downloading some of the files (.torrent, metadata file) once I have some items. But first I need to find all the items ever uploaded.

  • Downloading all archive.org metadata

    Jump

  • Thank you for the tips. I am actually interested in enumerating metadata for all the "items" as defined by the API page ever uploaded. For example, one item = one ID:

    Archive.org is made up of “items”. An item is a logical “thing” that we represent on one web page on archive.org. An item can be considered as a group of files that deserve their own metadata.

    You did cause me to look at the API docs again, though, and I think I found something that does enumerate all item names, and as a bonus, it will keep you updated when changes are made: https://archive.org/developers/changes.html

    We'll see how much progress I can make. It might take a while to get through all the millions of them.

    Whatever happened to DNA-based storage research?

  • Film companies demand names of Reddit users who discussed piracy in 2011

  • This was something I suggested for this instance, since there is even a guide for hosting an onion service: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/135234

    Maybe /u/db0 will have more time after the spam settles down, but it seems he's got a lot on his plate at the moment between being an admin and doing AI stuff.

    Prediction: AT-style decentralized hoarding of the web

  • Do you prefer x264 or 265 HEVC?

    Jump

  • Note that H.264 and H.265 are the video compression standards and x264 and x265 are FOSS video encoding libraries developed by VideoLAN.

  • What would be the best VPN to use?

    Jump

  • Proton is a good service, but their years of reluctance to include more anonymous payment methods such as Monero and the inability to register an account from an anonymous IP address without a phone number makes me question the relative benefit of using them as a VPN.

    These do not by themselves result in a compromise of anonymity if Proton is trustworthy and the Swiss laws still enable them to disassociate your identity (given via payments) and your account usage, but regulation and governments tend to become stricter rather than looser over time and I would demand more from a service you are entrusting with all your internet traffic.
