@magila I totally forgot about peer exchange! I think a lot of other protocols don't have it and probably should

@Moon @cuaxolotl You might enjoy this comparison article I wrote about #IPFS, #Hypercore #BitTorrent and #SSB.

It doesn't get super into the weeds on the DHT tho

@magila I don't think you need to attack the DHT topology for a DoS though. You can advertise from seemingly legit IPs to regular DHT nodes and either overload them, or add a bunch of these junk entries that refuse to serve the content.

Like, *chan types used to use LoIC a lot for getting random people to just run a tool which would help with DoS. Feels like there should be a similar one for p2p content by now. Maybe #dweb stuff just isn't popular enough still.

@Moon @cuaxolotl Yeah, I feel like with #IPFS being more popular lately we'd at least see people attempting black hole attacks on ipfs.io or on some popular NFT collections.

@magila Really? Mind linking to the spec for that. I was under the impression that mainline still doesn't have a clear mechanism for sybil resistance.

Some things like #hyperswarm take it pretty seriously though and only allow peers with stable IPs to participate since they use it to generate their ID for Kademlia.

Ain't any cloudflare that'll help THAT one!

Surprised I haven't come accross any p2p DoS attack tools.

Should be easy as hell to generate thousands of DHT entries that lead to invalid IPs.

Neat, a document on starting a #tech #coop.

Seems to be USA centric but I'm sure a bunch of stuff applies in other contexts too.

Might also want to checkout Hypha's organizational guidebook for how you could structure your coop. https://handbook.hypha.coop/

@eevee OMG yes. I was messing around with the history suggestions in my browser for a while. I found fuzzy search of character prefixes with any chars in between, plus recently acessed urls first was a really nice one. I'm thinking of adding a thing for frequently selected urls for the key term to come first, but too lazy to add the new database index for it 🤣

Yeah, I really need a shitpost account.

@lupyuen I wonder if @capyloon will be a good contender soon as being not linux OR android

@indutny OMG imagine having to do all this without source code. It's such hell. Hell enough even with source code 🤣

Ahhh, I really want to save up for a #EUC ! They look so cool and portable. I'd love to use it instead of my car to get groceries and stuff. Bikes are too cumbersome for me and walking is way too far where I live.

I think I'd also settle for non shitty public transit too. 🤪

@lenore1 Also remembering to wear them at all.

@lenore1 It's like a special treat for my eyes. 🤓
