Cool thing in the #IPFS and #libp2p ecosystem is #IPNSLink https://ipnslink.com/
tl;dr: Run a server somewhere (like at home), generate a public key for it's identity. Users can access it from either the p2p network directly or any gateway that will automatically route to it.
No need for dns or messing with ip addresses.
I'm thinking it could be handy for #SocialInbox users that want to self host at home on their pc.
@hughsie IMO gateways in general are a bandaid and in some cases hold back p2p adoption with folks not bothering to actually run nodes. Ipns in particular was historically quite slow. With pubsub it's been a lot better
@mauve I love ideas like these but hosting a relay for any sort of content always hits the issue of "I don't want to get arrested" for me. The security inevitably won't protect me against real adversaries
@azu @canteen @mauve that’s only a concern for exit nodes. relays and bridges are completely fine legally, tho they are listed publicly iirc so sites might incorrectly give you captchas anyway. an even easier way to contribute is to run the snowflake browser extension https://snowflake.torproject.org/
@em@fedi.cassilda.house @azu@ak.tooters.fun @canteen@cijber.social @mauve@mastodon.mauve.moe The FBI hosts most of the exit nodes anyways so idk why someone would need to. They do a good job at managing them.
@mauve so like tor with less anonimity and more clearnet gateways?
@mauve IPNS would have been great for the LVFS but Pinata didn't support it -- and it's not practical for me to run a gateway myself unfortunately.
