I would then encourage you to look up how those work and what proof of work actually is. Proof of work requires some work to be done by the client. If you want regular people to browse the internet normally and “do work”, that means JavaScript, otherwise it requires them to install an extra binary like TOR or something, which would lock out most of real users. I imagine that’s not the goal of site operators.
There must be a tool that allows you to build packages for multiple systems in multiple formats (deb, rpm, nix, flatpak, snap, etc.). Does that not exist? After 20 years of these systems existing, somebody must’ve tried…
Also, it’s clear that once again, open source needs some kind of funding model, because it’s a little crazy that a project like this can get so popular so fast, the dev flooded with praise, thanks, and issues but not money to maintain and develop it.
How would that work? And how easy would it be to circumvent? Anubis probably forces spinning up a browser or something that supports a JS runtime (again probably a browser), so it’s not as easily scriptable as just callling an HTTP endpoint. I’m curious how you would implement a system without JS.
I wish more pirates used I2P. But it seems like many cannot deal with waiting a day for their download to finish.
That’s a good point. Using alternative DNS servers and alternative TLDs might be useful until they cotton on. It could even stress OpenNIC 🤔
I2P could be better.
Maybe these open source sites should move off the public internet and use alternative DNS servers with signup and alternative TLDs. Something like OpenNIC, but with signup. Or go straight to darknets like TOR and I2P. Maybe I2P would be better as it’s slower and crawlers would probably timeout just trying to access content.
They are learning from the US mega corps: if you’re popular, open source your framework and it’ll attract talent just by virtue of you being popular, regardless of merit.
They have entered the battle…
That just looks like an Apple clone. Why do people think that’s “user friendly”?
Why for Europe?
Exciting! A rust web renderer (Blitz), a rust javascript engine, self hosting blocks for nixos, Risc-V Virtual Machine (RVVM), an OSM map with public transit support (Cartes),…
I hope they all succeed. We need more alternatives to the US based stuff.
I’m glad this is happening. Servo has been a disappointment for me as it is terribly difficult to integrate. It doesn’t make good use of what rust provides in terms of separation of concerns and the API is impossible to use for laymen.
Blitz looks like a better alternative as the roadmap seems to stick to just HTML and CSS without trying to build another browser and at the same time letting that infiltrate what should be a library.
MuWire? I thought that was dead. The main dev blew a gasket over something and archived it. I see it’s out of archival now, but I do wonder what brought him back.
I didn’t expect eMule and Gnutella to still be active, but probably didn’t know because I’m on Linux and their clients are Windows only. Others have pointed out linux builds that I somehow hadn’t found until now.
They aren’t being actively developed are they? And do they are windows only too, last time I checked.
Thank you for sharing Post Open. I like that idea. We need a solution to companies just leeching off of opensource projects and not contributing back. It looks like a good initiative.
Good luck! I hope it all works out for ya 🙂
I wouldn’t make such a prediction as there are many possibilities and people like hanging onto things. One possible outcome could be the introduction of UBI, which could allow people only pursue the jobs or activities the want. That could be upskilling to become a research, becoming a race car driver, or a streamer, starting a company using AI, traveling the world, helping out the elderly, and so much more. There would still be production and consumption with popular products making some companies richer than others, but it could lead to a happier populace within a capitalistic system.
Of course there are dystopian scenarios like cleansing of the unemployed, remigration of the homeless, forced labor, and so much more that could keep the capitalistic system alive.
You can use transmission just for creating the torrent. You don’t have to use the actual client. If qbittorrent is your client, it’s possible to add the torrents to the list at the same time with
for folder in * ; do
transmission-create -o "$folder.torrent" "$folder"
qbittorrent --save-path="$folder" "$folder.torrent"
done
Then you create the torrent and start seeding it immediately. If you’ve already created the torrent files
for torrentFile in **/*.torrent ; do
folderName="$(basename -s .torrent "$torrentFile")"
folderParent="$(dirname "$torrentFile")"
folderPath="$folderName/$folderParent"
qbittorent --save-path="$folderPath" "$torrentFile"
done
Depending on the setup, you could also just sym link the folder into qbittorrent’s download directory and copy your torrents into a folder that qbittorrent listens to. There are many ways to skin the cat. Check out the command line parameters for your torrent client.
Alright, but what is your point?
Hmm, creating torrents isn’t that hard.
for folder in * ; do
transmission-create -o "$folder.torrent" "$folder"
done
You can add a tracker by adding the --tracker "$trackerUrl" option. There isn’t much more scripting involved, AFAIK, unless you want to upload them to the tracker too. But if you join the DHT and share the magnet links somewhere, you should be done. Or is there more to the process I’m missing?
