Freenet is also based on middle-out compression.
No. Trying to push 30TB into Freenet will be interpreted as an attack on the network by other peers and they'll disconnect from your peer.
Freenet is better viewed as a communication medium than a storage medium. Data is prioritized according to demand, somewhat like an LRU cache. You can't upload 30TB and expect the network to preserve it for you.
On liability, running a Freenet peer is more like running network infrastructure that automatically routes and caches other people's traffic than intentionally publishing it. US law explicitly recognizes this distinction in the DMCA's provisions for transitory network communications and system caching. We discuss this in more detail in the FAQ.
You obviously haven't tried Freenet. You can join our room on River and you'll see no spam, no fraud, no hate speech, none of that.
Decentralized doesn't mean unmoderated. Systems built on Freenet can be moderated however their creators and communities want. River is moderated.
The difference is that nobody running one service gets to decide what everyone else is allowed to run.
Too right they are experts in "misinformation"
Heres 10 examples of the nations least trusted broadcaster's (BBC) "Misinformation"
1. Question Time audience composition
Audience makeup on Question Time has drawn complaints from both directions for years — Conservative and Brexit-supporting critics say audiences skew liberal-left, even hiring actors to pose as members of the public to present a false narrative.
2. Diane Abbott / Fiona Bruce polling exchange (2019)
Abbott was corrected on-air over polling figures; the BBC later admitted its review found she'd been right to say other polls suggested Labour was either ahead or tied, and conceded it should have made that clear at the time.
3. Newsnight's Corbyn/Kremlin graphic (2018)
Newsnight placed Corbyn's image against Moscow's skyline during Salisbury poisoning coverage - his hat had been digitally altered to look more "Russian."
4. Laura Kuenssberg's "grim reading" postal vote claim (2019)
On the eve of the 2019 election, Kuenssberg's claim that postal votes looked bad for Labour drew roughly 15,000 complaints from viewers since in order to make such a statement regarding postal votes sugesting she must have had access to that data prior to the result.
5. 2019 general election coverage overall
The BBC reportedly received over 60,000 complaints about its election coverage, a sharp jump from 5,000 in 2015 and 7,000 in 2017, with complaints about anti-Corbyn bias.
6. Boris Johnson Question Time audience-laughter edit (2019)
The BBC edited a daytime news clip to remove audience laughter that followed a question to Johnson about honesty, prompting accusations of favorable editing.
7. Gaza: How to Survive a Warzone (2025)
An internal BBC review found the documentary breached editorial guidelines on accuracy by failing to disclose the child narrator was the son of a senior Hamas official. Ofcom went further, ruling the film was "materially misleading" and breached the Broadcasting Code.
8. Gaza: Doctors Under Attack ( 2025)
Running the other direction: the BBC declined to broadcast this Gaza documentary after members of the (separate, independent) production team made public comments accusing Israel of war crimes. BBC suppressed coverage rather telling the truth.
9. Iraq War coverage (2002–2003)
BBC facilitated government WMD claims (including the "45 minutes" assertion) with insufficient scrutiny in the run-up to war. Further more the government's dossier had been "sexed up," which triggered the Hutton Inquiry, the death of David Kelly, and the resignation of the Director-General and Chairman after Hutton found against the BBC's editorial processes. So the BBC was too credulous toward the government.
10. "False balance" on economic/austerity coverage
A frequently cited academic critique (Cardiff University media research, among others) argues BBC economics coverage in the early 2010s tended to frame deficit reduction as consensus common sense rather than a contested policy choice, disproportionately featuring City/financial-sector voices over dissenting economists.
Is gaslighting Germany. In that it fails to report on the same crackdown on free speech in the UK.
The Telegraph AKA Torygraph is therefore not a trusted source.

Let it be known that our future is bleak - mitigation is not enough and world leaders are doing the opposite of what is needed.
That said we can always spaff a few million on a new report that tells us nothing we dont already know and results in no action being taken.
Arguably Zig isnt faster , rather Zig and Rust produce binaries of similar performance. However , Zig is the highest paid programming language...

Plenty of us nerds can afford this and want to see news about this.
The following is also true . People born in the 1970s may represent one of the first generations for whom continued increases in life expectancy can no longer be taken for granted. Unless climate change, air pollution, healthcare, and public health challenges are effectively addressed, future generations could experience lower life expectancy than their parents in some regions, and potentially globally under severe scenarios.
The report ignores the elephant in the room that will lead to many more premature and unexpected deaths. Climate Breakdown.
