I just signed up on your site, looking for kubernetes and Linux work.

Welcome!

You could build an application on top of ipfs as an encrypted store, and use ssb to broadcast your messages to other nodes.

Here's a Google translation:

Yes, it bothered me. I only skimmed the article looking for how it got its name, but the article never answers the question. How frustrating...

My only feedback is "thanks!"

As an American that has gone through the process, I can confirm that there is a lot of irrelevant junk crammed down our throats and poured into our ears.

make no mistake: ipfs _by_itself_ is no more "anonymous" than torrenting or other types of file sharing ftp/sftp/ssh/http/whatever...

because they can always get your ip address.

You will need to use some other method if you want anonymity.

Sorry, the reference to Tor is misleading. I was not referring to anonymity but rather access to content from restricted areas like the Middle East or Asia.

In that sense, I would agree, ipfs can provide access to content that would otherwise be blocked.

Could ISPs throttle IPFS content the same way they did with torrents a while ago? (and probably will again once net neutrality falls).

Sure -- but libp2p's network transports underneath are pluggable. There's already Websockets (/ws, think domain fronting! [1]) and Tor (/onion) transports, so there's various options for evading censorship (I personally consider bandwidth throttling a form of censorship).

[1] Domain fronting lets you use a well-established web frontend for your web service. E.g. we could host /ws nodes in Google Cloud, and to the ISP the TLS handshake looks like it's for google.com, while inside the connection there's e.g. a `Host: libp2p.googlecloud.com` header.

But then again, net neutrality is a political issue! You don't solve it for good with technology.

I too would pay for a "supporter badge".

I would happily pay $10/month just to support the business. I don’t even need extra features. Please ask me for money.
