Some interesting comments about IPFS: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37750529
Basically all people who have used it realized it wasn't working, but those who were heavily invested on it used their cognitive dissonance to reframe it as "good for internal networks" or to say that "now it is going to get better".
This one is also mildly interesting: https://neimanslab.org/2024-01-31/why-i-moved-my-blog-ipfs-to-server.html
The guy experiences all the problems in the world while trying to host his blog on IPFS, but in the end he kinda keeps believing it has a future.
Oh, there is also the guy who uses the weird scam marketing "I work on IPFS, but we call it Iroh now, and Iroh works" but then just mentions that Iroh doesn't do content addressing at all, which completely negates all the goals of IPFS.
It reminds me of people marketing WhatsApp as "free SMS" when it started in Brazil, I heard so many of those shills it was disgusting.
ipfs is best solution for what its doing
there is no alternative
its bittorrent for websites
ipfs has never worked for me. It’s such garbage. everytime someone suggests to use it for file storage in nostr I scream internally.
Sounds like a typical HN thread tbh
This.
Works a little bit but then refuses to load stuff again I made a lot attempts in using IPFS
Learning from past mistakes. Does this guy belong here.
It seems like they are simply missing an incentive structure. 2 sats to stream content from a source. 1 sat is the content ID originator, the other sat goes to the host. Host your own, 2 sats, host someone else's, 1 sat each.
Hi Fiatjaf I am trying to use IPFS for an apllication that I am developing that need some efficient content addressing alternative method and I share the opinion mentioned in the article that you has shared.
In your opinion what are the best IPFS alternatives avaiable or in active development.
