Will we get to 4% desktop in 2025?!!

That disc was so bad or you’d will all the games, or so we thought.

Lets make a decentralised internet. What do you think about that?

You can also just do a tit for tat and divide the requirements by ten. There is a possibility that someones pc has a problem and can’t serve one of your files back when you need it though. That’s why the base is 10x oversharing, a good value for a backup is surely somewhere in between…

Hello and thanks!

Sorry for the delay, my PC had a nervous breakdown yesterday.

The storage acceptance can be configured, but for now there is only either you accept anything, or you accept up to twice the size of your file (default).

Also, there is a (configurable) limit where files are auto accepted, under 64Kb with a total size of 16GB.

I’m thinking about other ways of brokering the deal, like high/low bandwidth, size of course and availability but that is work in progress.

But today, for example, if you store your photo collection of 1000 1MB photos, with a redundancy of 10 (default) the median and max storage you’d need would be:

Median: itemsize * redundancy = 1000 * 1MB * 10 = 10 GB

Max: itemsize * redundancy * 2 = 1000 * 1MB * 10 * 2 = 20 GB

BTW;

You can store GB sized files, but it’s not very convenient yet (it uses lots of RAM and the app freezes up for a while) and you might not find someone to “trade” with.

And it’s not yet battle proven, so I’d keep a backup to be sure. In the future, you just need your links, and if you have lots of links you can just put them in a folder store that on the network too (with a high redundancy!) and keep just one master link for a total backup.

You can sub here for info and of course if you have more questions!

Or just fire away here.

Cheers!

Hello and thanks for the feedback!

Funnily I reworked the intropage recently to remove a lot of examples because I felt it cluttered up the first impression! What do you think about a sub section for that or would that be too easily overlooked? Also, as I have you on the hook here for the moment :-) what do you think about those examples:

Chat

Facebook-like

Webpage

Dropbox

Wikipedia

Backup

Or maybe you have some ideas?

For your questions, yes it does allow client-less sharing (guess you have to have your PC on from time to time though, but not at all always), but you can’t access the data from a browser. I’m working on a browser plugin to read the link files, but it has to be in javascript so there is some work to be done.

I don’t know how Foldershare worked, but you can definitely share a folder with your friends for example.

Ya, me learning that a dinky psu is your worst enemy, i upgraded my SOs old duron to an athlon for work, which used more energy…

You want to check out steganography if you haven’t yet!

Is that Flash exclusive or do they accept other games from that era?

Okay so where do I find some cheap hard drives? Europe if possible :-)

Wonder if servers will set that up. You need a pictrs (or other) server to serve images for example.

Oh no sex scenes!!! /s

Prude american?

Still remember the PSU blast taking out my main drive plus my backup drive in like 2001. I thought I was so good because I at least had a backup 😑. Those were the days 🤷🏻‍♀️

The less time you’re at the cars mercy…

Thank you 😊!

One reason might be that I’m very bad at marketing 😬. And if you have any kind of problem don’t hesitate to tell!

You can find it in the documentation if you read around a bit, it’s not ibvious so here’s a direct link here.

You could use tailscale, or a VPN if it allows port forwarding.

I’m very interested if you try it out, and would love to know how it went!

You might want to check this out for a modern approach (sorry for the shameless plug 😊).

Yeah the name was cheesy even back then IMO but the concept was fantastic.
