so in practice most apps built on IPFS storage simply offload the data to 3rd party providers like “web3.storage” and “infura”, right along all those cool monkey pics.

to successfully use IPFS you must either host your own pinning servers or pay to use a 3rd party. otherwise your content is stored on end user devices and automatically garbage collected.

the whole IPFS premise of distributed, always online content is a facade. the system depends on pinning servers for that to work which is ultimately a centralzing force.

I am not dead yet, but I am happy that people are doing this. The more things built on IPFS the more people will learn it doesn't work and stop hoping it will solve all problems.

Rust doesn't use a garbage collector because otherwise it would collect the language itself and all its developers.

First beer at Uvita! Who paying for it?

yeah there’s a huge discussion on the umbrel forum since years.. no one understands why umbrel doesn’t fix this. more and more apps don’t work because of this https problem.
