Freenet Reviews

Social recommendations and mentions

• A player-owned RPG - would you want to participate in such a game?

  Instead of use of Blockchain you could also use Freenet . The only bad thing here data could be lost, but mostly only data is lost when not used. This could be used to auto purge forks that most people dislike. If for example some reason there are multiple alternatives how the story goes some of them will die after a while and removed from system. - Source: Reddit / 6 days ago

• Internet Archive Takes Down BBC’s Documentary on PM Modi: Report

  An automatically space balancing solution would be Freenet. Given that it's content addressing, it's possible to push data into it and have it deduplicate automatically. - Source: Reddit / 2 months ago

• [Summary] dark web links r/onions

  P.S - There's more networks than just Tor, if you're still interested perhaps you should check them out: https://geti2p.net/en/ https://freenetproject.org/ https://zeronet.io/ https://yggdrasil-network.github.io/ https://lokinet.org/ r/i2p r/freenet r/zeronet r/yggdrasil r/oxen_io. - Source: Reddit / 4 months ago

• Social Media on the Decentralized Web

  Freenet 2 is modernizing the concepts originally developed by Freenet, software that empowers anonymous chatting, file sharing, browsing, and website publishing, pages known as “freesites.” Freenet users contribute a portion of their hard drive and storage bandwidth, creating a decentralized ecosystem that is far less susceptible to malware and other malicious cyberattacks. - Source: Reddit / 4 months ago

• Alternatives to Skynet?

  Yes there has been something like this for over 20 years now. It’s called freenet: https://freenetproject.org/ While it’s not crypto related it allows anyone to insert data onto the network for free. The uploaders and downloaders are anonymous. - Source: Reddit / 5 months ago

• Request for some personal advice: How could programming skills contribute to mutualist causes?

  I'd also recommend looking into anything to do with open source, peer-to-peer networks, end-to-end encryption, federation or platform co-operatives. For example: Matrix, Freenet, Cryptpad, Activity Streams, Mastodon, Aether, Scuttlebutt and Resonate. A whole plethora of services from video conferencing to online marketplaces to crowdfunding platforms to streaming platforms can be built using similar principles and... - Source: Reddit / 5 months ago

• Record-breaking chip can transmit entire internet's traffic per second. A new photonic chip design has achieved a world record data transmission speed of 1.84 petabits per second, almost twice the global internet traffic per second.

  But we already losing (or have lost) the free internet - a lot of services are quite unusable without login, JS, and adblocker. https://pi-hole.net/ is also a nice option .. I put a lot of tracking and ad sites in my host file with "::" making them unreachable. In the end there is still https://freenetproject.org/. - Source: Reddit / 5 months ago

• Kanye West is buying ‘free speech platform’ Parler

  Dudes think they might have "free speech" in platform that is owned by someone? Owner always decides what is free and what is not. There is non-owned platforms like https://freenetproject.org/ or https://katiska.org/classified-ads/ that have no owner, where the users decide what is suitable and what not. There users provide the service to each other and there is no central organization banning users or dictating... - Source: Reddit / 5 months ago

  Minus the cryptocurrency part, Freenet has been doing this for 22 years https://freenetproject.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• Fight for your freedom in computing. Don't let proprietary programs control you

  Freenet has a different looking bunny. - Source: Reddit / 6 months ago

• p2p storage solution

  IPFS, Freenet and Zeronet come to mind. But to be honest I don't think any of these are suitable to build a viable alternative to youtube right now, at least not for the vast majority of users. - Source: Reddit / 8 months ago

• 23 years ago I created Freenet, the first distributed, decentralized peer-to-peer network. Today I'm working on Locutus, which will make it easy to create completely decentralized alternatives to today's centralized tech companies. Feedback welcome

  Ease of use has always been the limitation for decentralized applications, as it was for the original Freenet. With Locutus, you install it like any other app and then the decentralized apps themselves are distributed through Locutus - so only one install is required. - Source: Reddit / 11 months ago

• Discontinuation of the Vanced project

  Step 2: Move further development work to something like IPFS, https://zeronet.io/, https://www.privacytools.io/#hosting, https://freenetproject.org/, or https://arisen.network/distributed-storage.html; contribute anonymously. - Source: Reddit / about 1 year ago

• Copy-pasta backup (How to access)

  But it doesn't stop here. The darkweb encompasses more than just Tor's onion services. You could also download I2P, Freenet, Zeronet, Lokinet, or Yggdrasil to access their respective sites and communities. I haven't used these networks much, so I can only refer you to their subs: r/i2p, r/freenet, r/zeronet, r/oxen_io, r/yggdrasil. - Source: Reddit / about 1 year ago

• Uncensorable, immutable microblogging platform that is completely decentralized

  Anyone interested in this field should also check out Freenet, a distributed, encrypted and censor-resistant platform that's been around for 20 years. https://freenetproject.org/. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Is the left creating the groundwork for a right wing backlash?

  Decentralized censorship-resistant infrastructure like TOR (The Onion Router), Freenet and more have been in full operation for a very long time now. And they've been rather user-friendly for the last ten years or so. As far as I can tell, that's the only meaningful option for any communication platform which goes beyond cat pics. It can relatively easily be combined and stacked with other decentralized or... - Source: Reddit / about 1 year ago

• My mom got scammed out of over 100k and I need help finding any/all available info about a website

  I think I know somewhat what it is but I could be way off base on that. I know just some basics about how block chains work from looking into the free network project and other decentralized file systems that are intended to prevent censorship among other things as similar to a torrent swarm those are hosted on individual machines in pieces and the more popular a site that's hosted on those file systems is the... - Source: Reddit / over 1 year ago

• Lightning & the Internet: Choosing the Right Path

  Whenever I see anyone wanting to use blockchain to host content, I want to point out we already have Freenet, BitTorrent, and Tor that solve those problems better than blockchain. - Source: Reddit / over 1 year ago

• Privfiles - Secure file sharing / storage with storage API

  ... OK... It's just... FreeNet is a real thing and SkyNet is from a movie? Backing your storage with Freenet would have made the project more intriguing. You could make it so that any privfiles instance is capable of pushing files to/retrieving files from the Freenet distributed datastore my making it an FCP client, so anyone could set up a privfiles instance and use it to transparently fetch files uploaded from... - Source: Reddit / over 1 year ago
