this is super interesting. making the network accessible to status-quo browsers is a huge leap forward. web clients still aren't able to natively think in terms of "one resource, multiple access points", but that's a much different challenge w/ longer timescale.

🚀 Announcing AutoTLS: A breakthrough bridging IPFS and the web. AutoTLS, a public good service by @ipshipyard.com, grants libp2p/IPFS nodes a unique domain and automates Let's Encrypt TLS certificate issuance. Main benefit: Web apps can connect to & fetch data directly from IPFS nodes 🧵

🦋Storacha + Bluesky = a decentralization power duo! Bluesky’s atproto & Storacha’s storage network both leverage self-authenticating data, DIDs, & CARs to build a more resilient, trustless web. See how these components shape the future of the Internet: medium.com/@storacha/we...

IPFS solves this.

🌍The web has always relied on trusted 3rd parties to store & serve data, but what happens when they go down or get compromised? Enter CIDs: cryptographic fingerprints that ensure your data is verifiable & resilient. Storacha is built on this foundation🔥

What software out there can handle thousands of requests per second, finding content providers in a network with thousands of peers, seamlessly fetching over different protocols and transports with subsecond latencies? The IPFS stack is underrated as technological feat.

What is a DID, actually?🤔 Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) are revolutionizing digital identity with no middlemen, just proof you are who you say you are. We’re breaking down how they work & how we're using them in this blog post by @peeja.com 📖 medium.com/@storacha/wh...

🚀 Kubo v0.33.0 is out! Highlights: ✨ Streamlined AutoTLS listener setup 🔄 Shared listeners between TCP & WebSocket transports ⚡️ New datastore options to improve writes with Pebble 🛠️ MFS stability improvements 🌐 New DoH resolvers for .eth and .crypto 🧰 WebRTC Direct fixes github.com/ipfs/kubo/re...

not especially satisfying to have called this out as inevitable. maybe the feature survives, but it was a matter of time before people actually noticed it. github.com/w3c/webtrans...

I have it under control, I promise. I can handle it. One more connection won't hurt.

Cloudflare DNS over HTTPS endpoint for ENS has been decommissioned. That has triggered some interesting discussions about choke points and verifiable ENS resolution. @ipfs.tech github.com/ipfs/boxo/is...

hot take: long git commit messages are bad, if it's relevant info it should go in code comments or docs

Why does @atproto.com use a Merkle Search Tree rather than a Prolly Tree?

Subtle but crucial distinction between recursive and non-recursive (like web seeding in Bittorrent) @ipfs.tech gateways. More on gateway types in the recently updated IPFS docs docs.ipfs.tech/concepts/ipf... #ipfs #http

Very nice, a new 'standard' that describes ATProto data

I've been working closely with the libp2p and IPFS teams recently and they just posted an exciting blog post about how they're making it easier to use IPFS to host any website. Some really cool stuff here blog.ipfs.tech/2024-shipyar...
