No matter which encoding is used to store data, the hoster is still responsible for it. On mega, the data is encrypted, yet mega is still held responsible for removing content reported by copyright holders (the decryption keys being included in reports).

How come those big hosters get away with such infringements? I guess they must be less popular than Megaupload and such

i2Psnark is an alternative. With a lot less features (and not mentioning the UX)

I use Signal, but I'm unable to force everybody to do the same.

Re-implementation means reverse-engineering and building new binaries. What's the point of MicroG if it is just downloading google binaries? An app with privileged access is different than a remote access trojan. The whole point of a sandbox is not to have the same access as the original app.

What you are saying doesn't make any sense.

Any chance to use Whatsapp on /e/ ?

Yeah that's unbelievable, I had the same experience! You must never install your bank app, otherwise it will start always requiring it.

I'm still using MPD+ncmpcpp. For remote access, I use Wireguard and stream via HTTP on VLC. It's amazingly fast and lightweight (26MB RAM for 30K+ songs).

MALP also works on Android, might be better with no physical keyboard (now supports streaming also).

A bunch of eDonkey servers were seized in 2006. This was before the implementation of Kademlia in emule. It highlighted the vulnerable centralized part of the protocol and pushed people to alternatives. Also compared to bittorrent, the lack of moderation and low speed played a role.

Sounds to me that the difference is they exploited a bug to get private information in order to game the bots.

The onion option makes more sense (standard solution, battle-tested). Not sure about POW resilience, compared to distributed hosting though.

Yep, you can gossip the list of peers with that identifier.
