have announced their decentralised peer-to-peer storage network.

The big deal here is:
- Autonomi nodes run on anything (Raspberry Pi, an old laptop, home server, whatever) so anyone can participate
- maximal , security and privacy
- storage for a one-off fee ensures data and websites will not be lost, link rot won't happen and developers have the ability to scale without infrastructure costs or VC funding

EIN Presswire · David Irvine to Finally Launch his Decentralized InternetBy Gill McLaughlin

@happyborg

How to remove all your credibility at once:

"You can also follow the launch of the network on ‘X’ withautonomi, or join the community discussion via the Autonomi discord."

Idiots all over the place.

@nik
I agree it's a bad look and have told them so.

AFAIK it is still a p2p solution that offers features nobody else is trying to achieve and I'm not aware of a more decentralised project.

@happyborg @nik maybe you are not aware of @nextgraph, that's why. But anyway, congrats for your work! I will look at what you came up with

@nextgraph @happyborg IMHO, an RDF-based graph with strong data ownership by (HTTP or other) authorities for structured, private and meta information combined with a p2p network for public BLOBs would be perfect.

@nik
Autonomi is a data network which can of course support RDF.

In fact I created a demonstration of a Solid pod using RDF on an early version of Autonomi and would like to update that at some point. Regular Solid apps were able to use it, including a blog.

For now though I'm working to put websites on Autonomi (demo'd earlier), and to support rclone to give as many people as possible access to p2p hosting and storage without using cloud or traditional server based services.
@nextgraph

@happyborg @nextgraph RDF data can be serialised on or delivered through any kind of network, but that was not what I was talking about.
