*but relies on IPFS.
Useless.
Why is it useless?
Lol. You checked on IPFS lately? Different times. Different world.
Is IPFS something your family and friends check on regularly? I don't even know what it is.
Considering your reluctance to give any information about your assertion that such a project using it becomes useless, I'm not sure you know what it is either :P
I haven't checked it out in years. From my understanding, IPFS aims to be a distributed filesystem that kinda works like Bittorent. If you access a file, you then seed it. Last time I checked it out, the project was jumping on the crypto bandwagon... Just checked out their website now, and don't know WTF it is.
Do you have more information? Haven’t looked into it for a while. What happened?
IPFS is like a dead Multiplayer game, or an Onion network. Check it out.
That which is asserted without evidence may be dismissed without evidence.
Go ahead and try to use it then.
That's the funniest thing about this whole conversation: I do. Quite regularly. It works fine. Better than HTTP for my usecase. No clue what the fuck you people are on about.
Is it safe to use IPFS without a VPN ?
As far as I'm aware, but a good VPN used well is rarely a bad idea.
Didn't realize we all were now incapable of looking out the window. That seems like something an absolutely incapable person would do because they're way too lazy.
