Hey party people,

 

I'm following your work with a lot of interest.

I really understand that you developpers (hackers? nooo...) should have presure on your shoulders, so here is my suggestion to avoid getting deleted or censured by the big dollar owning companies:

 

Try using FreeNet!!!

 

I recently installed a FreeNet node on my Debian box, and it is really rocks in the idea. The point of this is to get a secured network in the network, with no per-ip hosted content. Peer to peer like bittorrent or eHorse is good for big files, but since you guys need to spread the world with web pages, i really think you should consider getting a freenet publisher.

 

For those who doesn't know FreeNet, the idea is really simple. Everybody host something encrypted (Strong RSA encryption, no way to make the files content visible). Nobody knows who is hosting what. I did not even know what was on my allocated virtual partition, probably a dump of encrypted of porn, what i waste, i agree...

 

When somebody on the FreeNet network wants a file, he start asking his node for this content (Browsing the freenet network is done by accessing a web server in your freenet node). Your freenet node initiate a request, with a maximum hops count. The request goes thru the next closer nodes, which themselve can't know if the originating node was your node, or a node before which asked your node.

 

Serverless because everybody is a "cluster" server.

Very SLOW the first 10 - 15 days, fast like a F14 after.

 

Consider the idea. Please somebody try to tell Ma ;) us to have a look at it!

 

Keep up the good work don't mind about the money, whatever who get the first dual booting x86 working will anyway *NOT* get the prize... Help each other, think about getting your name somewhere in the history of computers instead of getting money!

 

 

Kind regards to the best hackers ever and everybody here.

Hey people!

 

Glad there are still some sceptics to convert here :dev:

 

phor2zero:

I installed freenet few years ago, and you are ritght. It was really slow, mostly unusable because people posted content on it, but a lot of people owning these nodes decided to shut them down.

So the content was partially broken, and the "healing" hash function did not work on mostly of them.

Well now, it is much more reliable. I gave it a try again just 3 monthes ago, and was really surprised by the changes. Now, you can post about 5 GB (Chunked to severals nodes) in about two days, posting webpages is more than easy.

 

Now, domino:

The point of FreeNet is indeed of NOT having anything running 24/7. It is NOT a pear to pear network as you can ear elsewhere. You can iinstall a node for POSTING purposes only, and then stop it. The content is splitted and dispatched on several nodes. The space you allocate on your node is filled with randomly acquired content. You will NEVER know what was on your node space. The more popular a node is, the biggest chances to put content on it there will be.

 

I have at home a little debian box, it is a 1Ghz AMD with 1gig ram, 600GB HDD. Since the power supply is only 280W, i spend about $50 for two monthes using it this way. I agree that putting a freenet node on it it is some waste of time, since the *interesting* content which will become available on it is still easy to find on some amule or stuff. But web hostable pages (With often updated webcontent) like the good old Marxxus website will never be on these p2p nets. So, FreeNet is the solution.

 

Personnaly, i removed the freenet node from my box. I expected to find illegal content like the one we can ear about HERE. The bad thing is that the illegal content i found on it was really a shame. Paedophiliacs and Alquaida (maybe fakes). I will not use it anymore, unless there will be more interesting content on it.

 

i think people should have a 5mn google'ing about FreeNet, and how it does work. It would have solved any *illegal* content hosting problem...

 

Well, if people like Maxxuss consider freenet as a spreading alternative, the censor will become, in despit to BiGd0Ll4r$ Inc., impossible to apply on.

 

Well, hope you two guys will have some readings on the subject, and discover what is FreeNet.

 

Best regards to everybody here.

Pierre

P.S.: Sorry for this demonstration of _BaD_ english... i'm actually a french guy :D
