Heey have you heard of the tenfingers sharing protocol? It makes away with both DNS, registrars and hosting platforms.
You need to open a port to the internet from your PC though, so people don’t seem to like that/be able to do that/have a provider letting them, so I’m working on a workaround for thar so it’ll be just fire and forget, no configuration.
I dunno about self hosting on your machine but I’m not opposed to an idea where if you have files to share on a server, you have to provide storage for parts of other files up to a certain percent of the space you use. Or, something like… you have 20gb, you’re only using 5gb, so 15gb are free for the network. If you start using more locally, it opens up space for you to use by clearing shared files. If that makes sense?
I guess that does encourage people to consider file size. Which is something most people don’t these days. I remember when 100k was considered a heavy load for users.
Yes, and even if your whole site is a full GB, with images, songs and whatnot, you’d only need to have 10GB free for sharing (which is tweakable too!), something many people have, or so I wager.
For websites, all we need is another DNS system. I say we get rid of TLDs entirely. They’re useless nowadays.

Tenfingers is roughly: you want the network to share your data, then you have to share data for the network.
So for example you share 50MB of data for a large overshare for your 5MB web page.
What if you don’t have the 10x space when it gets big?
Well, then you have to make your website smaller, or extend your sharing space, or lower the oversharing.
It’s not intended for (nothing forbids it though) very large data sharing, more a personal sharing space.

IPFS and Tahoe LAFS.
In the same vein yes, like a modern IPFS with more capabilities.
Unused disk space to be used as a shared, distributed LRU cache.
Interesting but tenfingers is not made for that use case.
You’re right. I was simply trying to articulate what the PP wrote.
Wonder what the performance of a fibonacci sequence is there. 😄
