Each step will find nodes that are closer to the key until the contacted node returns the value or no more closer nodes are found. This is very efficient: like many other DHTs, Kademlia contacts only O ( log ( n ) ) {\displaystyle O(\log(n))} O(\log(n)) nodes during the search out of a total of n {\displaystyle n} n nodes in [07:34] wallacer the system. [07:34] immibis isn't the DHT based on some similarity between node ID and content ID? [07:34] wallacer I'm not sure if IPFS works this way, but this is how Kademlia works [07:34] immibis eventually it will find the closest node, and there is no closer node, and the file isn't on that node, so there's nowhere else to look, right? [07:34] wallacer immibis: the file may not be at the node which is the closest to the content [07:34] immibis or does it have to try random paths to see if there's a closer node? [07:34] wallacer it searches outwards [07:35] wallacer plus there'll be lots of nodes that equally close to the content ID [07:35] wallacer err it actually searches inwards from the peers your node knows about [07:35] immibis okay well it's reasonably fast for content that does exist, so that's okay then [07:36] immibis you think I can DOS opensea by minting some NFTs with nonexistent IPFS hashes? [07:36] wallacer you'd have to mint a ungodly amount of NFTs [07:36] immibis well if the search never returns [07:36] wallacer because IPFS is also parallel, it can search for multiple things at once [07:36] wallacer and searching isn't very computationally expensive, just high latency [07:37] immibis and an NFT is just an index into a smart contract - it's the contract which costs money - you should be able to make one with 2^256-1 NFTs in it [07:37] immibis maybe it even encodes the NFT index as the IPFS hash so it's a contract with every possible IPFS hash in it [07:37] wallacer you'd be blocked by your internet b/w making requests to create OpenSea auctions [07:38] wallacer at that point why not just flood it with random requests, you are DoSing the b/w after all [07:40] immibis is IPFS lookup only probabilistic?

[07:57] wallacer iirc directories are technically the same as any other piece of data in IPFS [07:57] wallacer the UnixFS directory model is just a file that refers to other files by a name and a content hash, along with some other attributes [07:58] wallacer and then if you further open files in that directory they will be fetched like any other [07:58] wallacer closest node known and inwards as usual [07:58] *techrights-ipfs-bot has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [07:58] wallacer >fork bomb [07:58] wallacer you can fork bomb, but be prepared to pay a few millions [07:59] wallacer and ultimately all miners get rich, you get poor [07:59] wallacer a win-win perhaps ● Feb 03 [08:01] immibis wallacer: sounds expensive to do a separate lookup for every block of data [08:01] immibis maybe normalize storing tarballs in IPFS [08:01] immibis instead of directories [08:02] kingoffrance thats what freenet did , zip files [08:02] wallacer as mentioned asking nodes on a DHT to see whether it has a file is not very computationally expensive, just high latency [08:02] wallacer >maybe normalize storing tarballs in IPFS [08:02] wallacer you can, just store tarballs [08:02] wallacer there's a fundamental tradeoff here [08:02] wallacer if you are only interested in a specific part of a tarball, you'd have to download the whole tarball [08:02] wallacer otherwise you can't validate the hash [08:02] wallacer but with UnixFS you can refer to a specific file [08:03] wallacer there's the other directory model, I don't remember the name [08:03] wallacer you can just download that part only [08:03] wallacer if you download all files in parallel it'll probably be faster than downloading the tar because the whole tarball would have a limited swarm, and you can't pin a specific file only [08:04] immibis aren't files already split up into blocks? you would just download the relevant blocks. so it wouldn't be any faster anyway [08:04] immibis because you'd have to look up all the blocks [08:04] wallacer >aren't files already split up into blocks? you would just download the relevant blocks. so it wouldn't be any faster anyway [08:04] wallacer I'm not sure but I'm fairly sure validation of the CID hash would be problematic then [08:04] wallacer you can't pin blocks of a file since the DHT works by CID and not block ID [08:04] immibis the CID hash is based on the block hashes I assume [08:05] immibis or is that done at a lower level.

[19:03] DaemonFC They did up the vaccine or test mandate and then made it hard to find enough acceptable tests at around the same time to pressure people into taking an experimental vaccine. [19:04] DaemonFC The state has been on a tear figuring out reasons to shut down testing clinics it was fine with before. [19:05] DaemonFC schestowitz, At least I've got a pile of free quick tests now. That's nice.

[19:07] DaemonFC When I was looking at COVID self-tests, I found a 7 panel at home STI test that retails for $149.99 that tells you if you have HIV 1 or 2, Syphilis, Gonorrhea, Chlamydia, Trichomoniasis, and Hepatitis C. [19:08] DaemonFC If you have no insurance and you go to a doctor and get tested for all of that, you'll walk away with lab bills for over $1,000 and a doctor's visit for $400-500. [19:08] DaemonFC It's no wonder doctors don't want you to be able to test yourself. [19:08] DaemonFC You can do it once or twice a year. Usually it's nothing, and you don't have to go to the doctor unless it is, and you already know what's wrong. [19:11] DaemonFC Doctors don't like this for the same reason divorce lawyers don't like online software that files your divorce papers and serves your spouse. People see that it'll cost $700 to do it with software and $25,000 to each get a lawyer, and suddenly a lot of them aren't contesting anything anymore, and then the software works. [19:13] DaemonFC Lawyers spent all this time and lobbying effort trying to make the courts inaccessible to the public much like doctors don't want you to go around them and know anything about your own health. [19:14] DaemonFC It was so expensive and complicated to get a divorce that mom told me that she knows several people who just stayed married, on paper, and moved out, and got different houses, and started living with the next person.

But even if you use regular Firefox, most of the problems happen.
