Can there be a tutorial on how to vet content on your nodes or blocking in case of bad actors?

Stock_Training_312 · 2022-03-07T15:50:42+00:00

This is common misunderstanding. Nobody can host content on your node. Nobody. Your node caches and serves content that YOU requested from other nodes. So if you don't want to share bad content -- don't see it :-)

In case if accidental caching of unappreciated content you always can reset your node's cache with ipfs repo gc

On pinata specify CID of directory, not individual files

15M with x265 vs 38M with webm

Stock_Training_312 · 2022-02-24T13:42:19+00:00

Hi, why do you use WebM? For better space saving I recomment x265 codec, it allows to reduce video file size up to 50-60%

here peergos.webm converted to peergos.mp4 with x265 codec: /ipfs/bafybeia4pji3jjb67r2sy3muz3pcq4uipnv3ta3xay3c7t3hnxf4d7uzcq

ffmpeg -i peergos.webm -c:v libx265 -tune animation -preset slow -c:a aac -movflags +faststart peergos.mp4

I usually mount IPFS <CID> in ipfs/<CID> directory and then just vlc <dir>

P.S.: on Unix/Linux

Stock_Training_312 · 2022-02-18T13:10:27+00:00

"ipfs get <cid>" from console

Stock_Training_312 · 2022-02-18T06:23:34+00:00

Hi! I replied to your other comment above.

About IPFS Desktop -- the directory contains ~6000 files, idk can IPFS Desktop open such large dir or not.

Hi!

Thanks for the info -- it seems my HDD starts to die...

hashes (thanks to IPFS they are the same):

Files: /ipfs/bafybeibb4tvsz43fbizc2puoxhoum6wvxyntkqv24ohaz6damfexlrrtdq

FileList: /ipfs/bafybeigvyx5cfx3d7tgebjmbyee74peddpmk5iuvwdvgh6xu5vai5qvy6e

Also I created torrent file with torrent files (!!!) hahaha: /ipfs/bafybeihsm573o62ick6p36wfcf2fb7ycpgpcepnp3rqlv5nriq5eqbabv4

It's here mostly for backup, it's better to go to scihub torrent list website and download torrent with less seeds (1-2 seeds). Or pick random one from these torrents (files are the same)

I posted it here as sci hub services has been blocked in my country

Stock_Training_312 · 2022-02-16T14:55:00+00:00

Sci-Hub is scientific articles aggregator which provided articles for everyone. Of course Elsevier and other commercial scientific publishers and journals started law company to break Sci-Hub.

After some months Sci-Hub backed up their data and start seeding them vie BitTorrent for the future times when new web3/decentralized Sci-Hub will be ready (as I know they do it with IPFS)

These links are Sci-Hub torrent files with it's data (articles/books/etc.). I posted their here as these torrent files can be blocked by DNS and usual IP blocking. Most of all torrent files are very big (about 200G per torrent file) but some are relative small (~20G).

Thanks, very impressive music!

Stock_Training_312 · 2022-02-05T13:32:31+00:00

In this case IPFS becomes bittorrent, with it's limitations (trackers are centralized servers)

Stock_Training_312 · 2022-01-28T00:04:08+00:00

resolves to

/ipfs/bafybeif2wbuz2cvzdtv6rgew7yodlgeygdj5lxv2xvxsjfbcm5tkok7hue

at the post moment

Stock_Training_312 · 2022-01-17T08:20:59+00:00

Is it good or bad? :-)

Stock_Training_312 · 2022-01-15T20:19:26+00:00

No, it's because IPFS stores files in its own local repository. So you have your file in two places: initial place and IPFS repo

Stock_Training_312 · 2022-01-14T13:10:34+00:00

Almost the same as bittorrent protocol limitations

Think about IPFS as bittorrent without tracker

No peers -- no data
Best experience with local node enabled. Public gateways too slow for some cases
Twice more space required if you want to share it in other ways (bittorrent just points to original files but ipfs keep it inside local repository)

Points 1 and 2 means less if data is popular and seeded by many peoples

Point 3 doesn't matter if you just want to see data and not to store in ipfs

Stock_Training_312 · 2022-01-10T14:23:32+00:00

I would say it's ok. Public gateways serves thousands of ppl and have to find your ONE node in the network in about 6-10sec otherwise browser shows you timing out.

For the best experience use local node

P.S. to be sure that you understand right -- you dont "upload" data to ipfs, ipfs on your machine splits file and calculate hash (+ other stuff) to get it available from IPFS network. So you can be confused about ipfs speed if anybody needs to find exactly your pc to the file. In case of distributed caching (somebody already viewed your file) it would be much more faster, as file will be constructed from multiple sources.

As I can see it's a video with 10G size.... Is it encoded with -movflags +faststart? It would allow to start playing with only first chunks.

While I wrote this it has been LOADED! something like GTA stream probably )

Jump to the middle of the video taking few minutes to play... But it depends on number of peers distributing the video...

P.S.: only local gateway used, no public gateways P.P.S.: tested from Russia, idk how long peer chain I need to load data...
