How store a file with a timestamp in a decentralized manner?
Hi,
I'm looking for a solution to archive files in a decentralized system. that would meet those requirement:
I was considering IPFS but it does not date-stamp the upload :'( you can make a description-file but this is unreliable, as you can set any date..
I'm lost between hyphanet.org and Freenet.org ?!

are those the same project ?
According to A.I:
Hyphanet is focused on secure, private, and efficient communication and data sharing, with an emphasis on enabling users to monetize their data while maintaining control over their data sovereignty.
is that true ? I can't found the information on their website...
Encrypted P2P Chat
https://github.com/positive-intentions/chat
I'm excited to share with you an instant messaging application I've been working on that might interest you. This is a chat app designed to work within your browser, with a focus on browser-based security and decentralization.
What makes this app unique is that it doesn't rely on messaging servers to function. Instead, it works based on your browser's javascript capabilities.
Here are some features of the app:
Your security is a top priority. Here's how the app keeps you safe:
I'm working on a P2P Reddit/Lemmy alternative using Iroh. Any interest? Thoughts?
This is still very much early-days, but I’m thinking about building a distributed link aggregator. Some notes: - no servers (all P2P) except to connect peers - no “instances” so everything is in one namespace (so like reddit /r/community, not lemmy instance/c/community) - everyone is a moderator - m...
The link goes to a related post on another community so I don't have to duplicate it here.
Basically, I'd like to discuss tech options for a Reddit/Lemmy alternative. Here's what I've found:

Meta wants to make Threads posts available on services that use ActivityPub, a social networking protocol. Here's how the testing is coming along.
Can I host non-exit Tor relay on AWS ?
I want to know if AWS blocks hosting Tor relays. Thinking about creating 10-20 relays if it allows.
What do you currently use IPFS for?
cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ml/post/4956418
I like the IPFS technology as an idea, I can pin my files I guess, but I don't know any communities or services that I wanna use that leverage IPFS.
I was wondering what y'all are using.
Mainstream news coverage of fediverse
Mastodon is an example of a decentralized social media platform — it doesn't rely on one single company and its server. But it comes with privacy and content moderation concerns.
Mainstream news coverage of the fediverse, mostly mention Mastodon, but seems reasonably balanced.
Detailed comparison of BitTorrent, IPFS, Secure Scuttlebutt, and Hypercore
This post will compare several peer to peer protocols by looking at how they work and the tradeoffs that one should consider when choosing one of them. We will specifically be looking at [BitTorrent](https://www.bittorrent.org/index.html), [IPFS](https://ipfs.io/), [Secure Scuttlebutt (SSB)](https:/...

I once fell for this talk about content-addressing. It sounds very nice. You know a certain file exists, you know there are probably people who have it, but you don’t know where or if it is hosted on a domain somewhere. With content-addressing you can just say start and the download will start. You ...
