GNUnet is a software framework for decentralized, peer-to-peer networking(communications over many transports (such as TCP, UDP, HTTP, HTTPS, WLAN and Bluetooth))

IPFS:
>What is IPFS?
It's basically BitTorrent on steroids.

the cartel will not allow this
delete this thread

Freenet got cracked, it's no longer safe.

go away

When's this legendary next release for GNUnet supposed to happen that will make GNUnet fully usable?

Can I have the e-mail thingy in the C++ veron of I2P?
How can I access the Tor onion sites from I2P?
Also Is GNUnet too heavy for an SBC?

got some link?

Am I the only one who thinks that these projects don't really go far enough? I mean, in terms of their shifting of the paradigm.

For all the problems with Urbit, at least Yarvin is rethinking the entire concept of "network of networks" from the ground up.

Is there any sites worth going to on i2p?

Oh look it's the monthly gnunet thread where everyone on Sup Forums tries to use it and realize its a piece of shit software

Is freenet not competitive with i2p and Tor? Tha3t is, does it do something completely different?

Delete this

might as well fork it, improve the current interface and protocol, and then call it Sup Forumsnunet

What is freenet actually used for? What non-hobbyist benefit would I get from it?

Wikipedia.org

Yes.
If you would just read the fucking Wikipedia page, you would know that it's supposed to be censorship-proof.

Fucking Sup Forumstards, man.

Why the hell would three radically different protocols with different implementations and different goals in mind be competitive?

If you did some incredibly superficial research you would have your answers by now.

I use i2p on tor-browser, and I recommend anyone else to do the same.

It's more like a monthly IPFS/Zeronet that just got appropriated by all the other hobbyists, since they're so few in number.

And your point is?

just reminding you guys that irc is also a good place to share and find stuff. back in the dial up days it's where I got my free porn

What are their respective goals?

So is http.

reminder that a private bittorrent trackers blow anything else out of the water

Well, for one, Freenet was made primarily to be distribute data without censorship. Whereas both i2p and Tor were made to achieve anonymity, the latter was never intended for hidden services.
Reminder that Bittorrent is not an anonymizing protocol.

As long as you're not touching cp a vpn is adequate anonymity for torrenting

Blatantly untrue; furthermore, that doesn't even disprove my point. I was planning to contradict you if you suggested using bittorrent over i2p, but you're so fucking lazy you didn't even go the extra mile to make a half-respectable argument.

You're just autistic, if you torrent with a vpn you won't get letters in the mail. That's all that matters for almost anyone

A decentralized peer-to-peer network over bluetooth, huh? really makes you think.
I actually gave a presentation about something like that at university. It could work in a classroom setting or in a meeting, where you have a dozen people in a small room. but besides that?..

How to use these p2p applications via Tor to ensure anonymity?

meshnet

what's the best platform on this list?

IRC is underrated

So are there any places on IPFS that aggregate addresses to stuff like a new anime series?

Is I2P and GNUnet too much for a raspi already running as seedbox?

No, a raspi makes a perfectly fine i2p node. As for Gnunet, well, good luck getting it to run.

Is that a question? Is that even a complete sentence?

age

I know i2p can use Tor as an exit node to the regular web.

What the fuck? I thought they would delete this pedo shit from lists. No wonder these dark nets do not get popular.

freenet: stores encrypted cp on your computer. for pedos only. avoid.

i2p: technically superior to tor but the implementation is far far worse. requires way too much ram to actually run on a daily basis. avoid.

tor: pozzed. run by women.

gnunet: the gui is shit. nothing on it except free software.

ipfs: exposes your IP to the swarm, same as torrents. avoid.

There were a few pages on IPNS but it doesn't seem like anyone is actually maintaining them.

I've been wanting to mirror currently airing anime but I'm starting to run out of HDD space and I'm too lazy to automate it.

Do you not understand how Freenet works?

God, your criticism fucking sucks. Let me help you with that.
>freenet: stores encrypted cp on your computer. for pedos only. avoid.
An argument so old they have a word for that: pedocache. You could have just said that and come off way more elegant than just restating the obvious. The whole pedophile thing is such an overdone, pedestrian argument anyway. If you come to a thread like this whining about blurry vhs tapes and expecting to elicit a serious response, you're seriously misguided.
>i2p: technically superior to tor but the implementation is far far worse. requires way too much ram to actually run on a daily basis. avoid.
Bullshit. Need I remind you of i2pd? A more valid argument would be the fact that nobody uses i2p and development is stagnant.
>tor: pozzed. run by women.
Only if you care about hidden services, which Tor was not made for. A much worse thing to point out about Tor and its shortcomings is the fundamental flaw with all decentralized networks: a lot of users and very, very few nodes.
>gnunet: the gui is shit. nothing on it except free software.
What a stupid thing to fixate about. What you should really be complaining about is the fact that Gnunet isn't even shipping and it's dead in the water. Your point about free software makes no since, since literally all the protocols you critiqued are public domain. What you really should have pointed out is that Gnunet is the only one endorsed by the FSF, and you could draw parallels between Gnunet and other stagnant/dormant FSF projects like, oh, Hurd, Gnewsense, Guilemacs...

If your going to critique things, at least don't half ass it. ALso, don't make two newlines after every sentence. It's just rude. That's perfectly fine if you're separating two paragraphs, but when you write the way just did, you come of vapid and inconsiderate because you're wasting vertical posting space.

Yeah, that's really the crux of the issue, isn't it. It works well if you're distributing your own personal collection among yourself and some friends, but not very scale-able. Let's not forget IPFS isn't anonymizing. You know the normies are--if IPFS ever breaks out, that is--are going to treat IPFS exactly the same way they treat vanilla Bittorrent with that stupid herd, "never happened to me" bullshit logic, as if that makes everything perfectly fine.

pic related: you

>It works well if you're distributing your own personal collection among yourself and some friends, but not very scale-able
It actually scales EXTREMELY well.

I should have said it wasn't practical.

Okay.

Well some people need tools that work now and some will keep writing philosophical essays for 30 more years.

Sounds more like a computer science thesis. Anyone can say "a new paradigm" and sound smart. God forbid we talk about the here and now.

Why use bluetooth when wifi exists?

The here and now sucks, which is why we're having these problems in the first place.

Okay. So when do you want to make a solution? Later. What do you mean by later? Eventually. What do you mean by eventually? Soon. What do you mean by soon? Not now. When is now, then? Later.
