ipfs is so cool, i wish it was used for more than censorship resistant wikipedia mirrors and crypto shit, its like bittorrent on crack
@username9431 yeah, itd work great for file sharing and sort of as a replacement for a cdn, but it only handles static shit, and some ppls ideas like using blockchain based backends are dumb as shit
@lexd0g @username9431 i could definitely see it being good for file sharing but idk about being a cdn, it seems a bit too slow for that
@esm @username9431 more so for putting less stress on a central server, it would probably be slower than a fast centralised (*as in ran by a single large company like cloudflare or fastly) cdn yeah but it should be cheaper than one and probably faster than for example some dudes blog hosted on a cheap vps getting bombarded by a sudden spike in views i think?
@lexd0g afaicu (as far as i can understand) its basically a sort of decentralized file hosting where the file on a server/node is mirrored to all the other, but idek if thats how it works actually
