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.
IPFS has 2 and 3 (they almost f*ed-up 3 with CID v1 actually)
This would be the identifier: rad:z3SNcAzHydhWtfaFTiq9S643GQjYU
I wish they chose IPFS instead of Bittorrent v1.
This feels so creepy to, being watched spending your money by slaves on the other side of the globe, and Amazon pretending it to be automated !
Yeah that's unbelievable, I had the same experience! You must never install your bank app, otherwise it will start always requiring it.
