IPFS at Techrights: The So-called 'Web3' Cargo Cult, Except With Some Practical Benefits

Summary: For censorship resistance's sake we're increasing our embrace or adoption of IPFS; almost all our archives are there

IPFS was recently deployed to a second machine, having run on a first one in 2020 and temporarily a VPS mirror until 2021. We're nowadays devoting the most effort to IPFS, ensuring everything is always accessible without a DNS system and with no single point of failure. The video above shows the manual run of an overnight process; it adds 9 files, namely the daily bulletin and 4 channels' logs (as HTML and plain text), then uploads the index to HTTP/HTML and Gemini/GemText (the latter isn't shown in the video).



We plan to make further enhancements in the coming weeks. The code has already diverged as what runs at the server (datacentre) isn't the same as what runs from home.
