No, the public relays are free forever, they are just rate limited. That hasn’t changed!

Yes, iroh here. We are looking into projects who want to use iroh with matter or thread. If you have a project you want to collaborate with our engineers on, please get in touch! Send an email to support@iroh.conputer

Yes there is an Android SDK: https://docs.iroh.computer/languages/kotlin

Correct

Yes you can self-host your relays. Forever! Please check out the docs & hosting pages more information:

https://docs.iroh.computer/concepts/relays https://www.iroh.computer/services/hosting

See https://www.iroh.computer and "use cases" at the top of the page

Would you use it if there was a go version?

Hi, I also work on iroh.

Iroh is built for environments where connectivity is unreliable or intermittent, so it can be a good fit for use cases involving connection failures, offline periods, or semi-connected devices.

We provide a range of peer-to-peer protocols that don't require a central server, including key-value stores, blob transfer, collaborative documents, and streaming audio/video. These protocols are designed to synchronize devices back to a consistent state, even after long disconnections or network interruptions.

If you'd like to explore whether iroh could work for your use case, we're happy to chat. Feel free to email us at support@iroh.computer, and we can set up a call.

The folks who made iroh worked on libp2p first, but found many limitations in libp2p's design. iroh is a better more flexible and powerful version of libp2p

Hi rklaehn, we're actively looking for contributors! Check out the #rust channel in the hypercore discord https://discord.gg/KAaPRsMm

The potential of decentralization to contribute to a more equal society is huge. Where government and corporate control of information are causing harm, decentralized technologies can give power back through new data ownership and governance models. So why are these technologies not more widely adopted? What are the main obstacles to decentralization, and how can we solve them?

In our latest research report, Decentralization Off the Shelf: 7 Maxims, we interviewed 53 practitioners and led workshops with a total of 85 participants to find out. Here are the 7 key changes we need.

We're keen to hear your reactions. What resonates? What seems new? How does it relate to your work?

> Does the newest version of dat handle large files well (10gb)?

I'd be curious if anyone wanted to try it ;) https://github.com/mafintosh/hyperdrive/blob/master/index.js...

> What is the command line support like for multi-writer?

There is an experimental multiwriter CLI using hyperdrive and kappa-db (github.com/kappa-db)

https://cobox.cloud

I don't see a github repository or any link to the open source code there. Is it open source?

Here are all the projects that are using components from the dat team over the years: https://dat.foundation/explore/projects/

and https://cobox.cloud/

They are working on a new version, it's almost done. It's going to be a lot better! https://github.com/beakerbrowser/beaker/pull/1435

seems strange to me that trading off expenses wasn't enough for them

This kinda makes me sick to my stomach -- essentially, she's saying that a peer-to-peer internet is great because companies will be able to have better uptime.

She doesn't even cover the clearly obvious economic aspects of this -- why would I run an IPFS node if it just benefits the company and not me?

I'd love that. I think a lot of teachers would be happy to get rid of the bloated administration in their university.

You're right, it isn't. It's largely a for-profit industry, even the 'non profit' colleges. Most teachers, especially adjuncts, make very little in comparison to what the students are paying -- look at NYU, 50k/year per student in a class of 20 where the teacher is paid 5k/class. The math doesn't add up.

Hey! Glad to see this on HN. I'm a volunteer developer for this group, and we are looking for more hands. If you're interested in helping us out, feel free to reach out to me on GitHub (karissa) or Twitter (captainkmac).

Here's the list of issues (signup/login related) that I'm working on now: https://github.com/debtcollective/debtcollective-web/issues/...

Here's a taste of the future: "Harnessing user data (and combining it with data gathered automatically from creditor websites and public data sets)" - https://www.newschallenge.org/challenge/data/entries/debt-co...

Except, you know, Windows.

Yes, this seems like the most important, and most detrimental part of this behavior. I'd recommend getting a new job -- it'll only get worse as the company gets older and more stress is added.

don't take that shit.

thank you

It's probably because the shareholders only care about ads and making more money. He's probably trying to reframe the discussion.

I have a bad feeling that Google is going to have a hard time continuing the way they are without some serious deliverables. I think this is why you can't expect C corporations to continue to "be good citizens" and really push the envelope.

Being on the stock market is a lot like being on the stocks. Hostage.

unfortunately, Google has lost that reputation.

Why was this necessary? Since hub is a distributed tool, users will now have to download Go on my local machine. Pretty big dependency, if you ask me.
