Broken input sanitization probably.

Issue will thankfully no longer exist in the next lemmy release.

Because the audiophile is broke, and will have to listen to some music on a lowly device, but the craving for some placebo is still there.

EDIT: btw, the bitrate is missing a k in your command 😉

Not audiophilic enough.

There is no need to talk about an imaginary version of IPFS. GNUnet already exists. You can add that to the list of actually superior technologies that long predates IPFS.

As I mentioned, IPFS is nothing but very basic tech that got overhyped to junior/uninformed developers, and crypto scam victims.

Besides being overhyped basic tech where way more useful and practical solutions existed for decades (Freenet existed since year 2000 btw, and Tahoe-LAFS since 2007), there is nothing private about IPFS. This is a dangerous message to purport.

IPFS is as practically useful as NFTs. No wonder the two crowds connected well!

iroh is an attempt to create a useful and practical IPFS. But none of the bigger practical features is implemented yet. And the design itself doesn’t appear to be finalized. I’m willing to give iroh a chance, although the close proximity to the IPFS crowd doesn’t fill one with confidence.

From a technical point of view, I’d rather Lemmy didn’t federate except with itself, and maybe possibly also with similar networks, but only as long as that doesn’t hold Lemmy back from doing its own thing.

Getting ActivityPub federation to work reliably between Lemmy instances alone is already proving challenging for developers.

From a personal point of view, I have zero interest in what I consider a shit paradigm of social communication. The “micro” lie in micro-blogging, as you quickly conceded, is long gone. The interface is horrible for effective exchange of well-thought ideas. The social networks formed are hypernormalized echo chambers of unhinged ranting faux intellectuals and champagne activists, usually led by a cult of personality or two who are tasked with making sure the one-upping posturing game continues forever.

When you are about to "micro"blog, presumably you will be writing something coherent enough that it relates to a certain subject of interest to a section of the public. It is also presumably meant to be viewable by the public since you’re not sharing it in a private group chat.

If that’s the case, there should be a community in Lemmy where those interested in that subject congregate. That community would either be low-traffic, then you can make your "micro"blog a post there breathing more live into it. Or it would be a high-traffic one, in that case a lounge/chat/MegaThread post should exist where you can chat with people interested in that subject, in an interface that actually facilitates good discussion.

Your aggressive tone is predictably inappropriate considering your failure at applying simple logic. You would only have a partial excuse if you’re 11y/o or something.

There is f-droid the app store, and f-droid.org’s main repo. See, it’s not that hard.

just because they have an app that allows you to add other repos doesn’t mean those other repos are a part of f-droid

And that app is called… get it?

Because those other repos are not f-droid repos

Repos made to work in the f-droid app are not f-droid repos… wow

Is the f-droid.org’s archive repo not an f-droid repo, too. lol.

Please tell me you’re not an adult!

The thing is, you started on the right track:

Sync is not open source and Fdroid only allows open source.

Here, you are on the right. And you could have followed up later by simply pointing out that “Will it be released to F-Droid” usually means “Will it be on f-droid.org’s FOSS-only main repo”, but you decided to rant some weird incoherent shit, and insisted on dying on a hell of straws instead!

Imagine if media in Lemmy was all hosted in a distributed network filesystem like Iroh, where instances only function as inserters and exit nodes for that media.

This way, smaller instances can have a smaller cache corresponding to the media that was actually needed by it (recently). And independent peers can help by participating in the distributed file-system network without running instances themselves.

keep in mind that it’s hard to get real numbers on LDAC because decoding is proprietary

I used to think the same. But as it turns out, a decoder exists. Maybe some people don’t want anyone to know about it to keep the myths alive ;)

EDIT: Also, as a golden rule, whenever anyone sees the words High-Res in an audio context, they should immediately realize that they are being bullshitted.

I do think it is the future of filesharing

In internet years, Torrenting is old. I2P is old. Even torrenting in I2P is old. Nothing about this is “the future”.

Ideally, the future of file sharing would involve a fully/natively integrated anonymous network with content-addressable distributed filesystem.

But this will probably not happen, as that architecture didn’t see large scale success before, except in Japan where at least some elements of this architecture are used in their popular P2P networks.

The I2P crowd themselves tried with Tahoe-LAFS, but that was never really a network, even aMule over I2P had more traction, and by traction I mean tens or hundreds of users, not thousands or beyond.

Ironically, the one content-addressable distributed filesystem that gained some attraction (outside Japan) is IPFS, which doesn’t offer anonymity, or replication, or anything special really. Yet for some reason, some hype-susceptible techies liked it, together with the NFT crowd, a great fit.

The future of file sharing will depend on where most content will land where it will be easily accessible and quickly grabbable. How those networks will look like? Nobody knows.
