I don’t think it has backward compatibility / stability guarantees though, does it?

I certainly experienced this (the vicious try-again cycle) but curious if you have any sources for this?

I think the biggest sin of IPFS is not working natively in web browsers—instead, requiring the use of either HTTP gateways or native apps running outside the browser.

by boramalper 3mo ago
And why would you do that? As opposed to, say, distributing via BitTorrent or serving them using a good-old HTTP server? edit: Not opposed to the idea, just curious what makes you pick IPFS over the existing alternatives.

It slowly was taking off—e.g. Library Genesis on IPFS[0]—but then IPFS introduced Bad Bits Denylist [1] which killed it on arrival. [0] https://freeread.org/ipfs.html [1] https://badbits.dwebops.pub/

Is anyone still (or has anyone ever) used IPFS in production? I’m not talking about technology demos such as Wikipedia-on-IPFS (which indeed worked and was impressive) but where IPFS is actually being relied on for some functionality.

I think this HN submission provides little value and a lot more headache to the maintainers of FOSS project (you can already see a lot of brigading in the GitHub comments). IMHO HN shouldn’t allow submissions like this.

I wonder if it's just Elon realising that xAI can't beat OpenAI and thus deciding to give all his compute capacity to Anthropic instead. Certainly an interesting day for xAI.
