LMAO

[–] zr0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 20 points 1 week ago

Wrong. The TLD is lol and not lmao.

[–] tauonite@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago

Even the website style is stereotypically AI

[–] glowie 11 points 1 week ago

Yea it’s just some vibe coded garbage. It being littered with emoji is the dead giveaway.

Sounds like I2P without the privacy.

[–] muusemuuse@sh.itjust.works 22 points 1 week ago

So it makes a swarm and distributes pieces of the site all over the internet. Theoretically, the original peer can go down and the site keeps running.

Thats not how i2p works. I2p works in a different way and solves a different problem.

However, i2p CAN torrent so technically you could stack this technology in top of it.

Perhaps that is the point: peer auditing instead of blind forwarding

Maybe a stupid question, but what if you use a VPN?

Is it gonna be full of n-word teens too?

[–] tomalley8342@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The kinds of communities you align yourself with is up to you, I suppose.

[–] Butterphinger@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago

Like the official i2p irc.

I am sorry but this is so clearly vibe coded and lazily, i would not trust the security of that thing one second...

A question: can you modify the site (edit its content etc.) once it's published?

Because the uses for a never-changing site are quite limited.

[–] ripcord@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Also, the content is statically-generated only, I guess? No server-side rendering? No POSTing, etc? Or...is this creating some cache based on a real server it contacts...?

How it that different from IPFS? ipfs.tech

Or even better Veilid?

[–] brickfrog@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Not too different vs IPFS, essentially the IPFS network if it was using WebTorrent. Both rely on swarms of p2p users/servers to seed/pin data to keep it online.

I'm not too familiar with Veilid but that does seem different since it's built for privacy so I doubt all the peers are public in that scenario. There is nothing private about IPFS or WebTorrent, all peer IP addresses are public in their respective swarms.
