Probably a square rectangle of plastic you’d add to your PC, like a CD player, but with a USB connector. And wires/card towards the mobo. Cases always had like 2-4 emplacements for those kind of things on the front.

My money because I always pirated.

Yeah usb came with 98-SP2 IIRC

Well compated to others it did kind of just work. Plug&play, USB, most simple peripherics didn’t need a driver to be manually installed and configured.

Windows 98 I guess.

The problem is the N+2 is in on it too. And so on. “It just works!”

???

So what’s the problem with those protocols?

But, but, it’s worth nothing!!

What about that 365 bullshit?

If they drive at low speed (IIRC you can build a car that will like never kill you under 60km/h) they might be way safer than cars driven by humans.

And IIRC you xan choose to just keep it (so install it) right from there.

You can also load it up, and then do wild stuff and install, upgrade things (which will disappear ofc.).

That USB boot is crazy cool if you think about it IMO.

You would have known it better under windows as it would have bacame obsolete or just stopped working every other 6 months, needing your attention 😁

And contrary to windows, it’s learn once, use forever.

Security? This is Russia, they sent 1000+ people to die every day for no reason lol

Yeah exactly, like make 3 engraved metal plates you can store here and there for recovery, not some stupid cloud account LMAO.

Let them try yo hack my C64 ✊🏻🤘🏻

One main difference with IPFS is that you can change the shared data without having to re-distribute a new link. It’s also based on reciprocal sharing instead of benevolent sharing, which means that if someone shares then it grows the sharing capability of the network instead of using it up.

I have made some comparatifs, you are all welcome posting any questions you have here or there ofc. ☺️ !

And on top if that there is statistic analysis and much more. GAFA probably knows your home address and where you work and what’s your IP is so…

My theory is that we’re hitting that limit again, most people don’t need more than a terabyte or two tops, so companies adapt.

Kind of shite being on the “need a bit more” side because I feel they’ll do everything to bleed us dry. My 2022 4TB drive was less than 100€, today 3+ years later, it’s 139€.

Very nice writeup.

But…

By analyzing IP addresses, it accurately infers your location, but without compromising your privacy,

This is not true ofcoure. It’s used in fingerprinting for example.

Sort of P2P, it’s a sharing system based on reciprocal sharing (I share yours because you share mine), add sharing the same data several times and you get robustness.

A sort of decentralised file system.

Please let me know what you think about it all.

PS. Funkwhale seems interesting, gotta check that out, thanks!
