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.

I did "not see" that coming, but I guess I should've. We cannot ignore the Nazi's around.

Even the company's own PR *back in NOVEMBER* says that $99,000 figure is not true.

Thanks for your questions, Freenet caches data but it isn’t meant to be a long-term storage network. It’s better to think of it as a communication system. Data persists as long as at least one node remains subscribed to it. If nobody subscribes (including the author), it will eventually disappear from the network. So yes, if only your node subscribes then the data will only exist there and won’t be available when your machine is offline. But if other nodes subscribe it will be replicated automatically and remain available even if your node goes offline.

No, "Satoshi" is dead. No clues will be dropped here. No one is going to tell you who he is.

My impression of the slashdot effect from the time was mostly irritation that even though I now had high-speed Internet access, I still had to wait for the site to recover (if it ever did).

Fuck you Steve.

You have no magic but the mods and the users. Better is on the way and the great migration will begin. You rose from the ashes of Digg. This will be no different.

Y'all probably should know better than to double down with devs. Lame.

The new Freenet is written in Rust.

lol - same thing with pilots ;)

Thank you!
