Don't forget to subscribe to the IPFS Community Events Calendar! https://lu.ma/ipfs Stay up to date on what's happening in the ecosystem. #ipfs

The IPVM community call is tomorrow! Learn about our quest to bring content-addressed computation to IPFS and our progress since being awarded the Arcological grant. #ipvm #ipfs #computeoverdata https://lu.ma/ipvm

It was another exciting week in Fissionland! We announced we're organizing an IPFS community event in Istanbul supported by Protocol Labs, and we launched a new Web3 funding primitive called Fund Ring! https://fission.codes/blog/fission-fridays-august-18th-2023/ #web3 #ipfs

This is not a drill! The Noosphere beta has officially launched! 🤓

Noosphere is a local-first tool for thought protocol that syncs with IPFS. Created by Subconsious, it's designed to level up our collective intelligence.

We're sharing a blog post next week all about Noosphere and (how the team uses UCANs to handle authorization!), but until then, we encourage you to check out this new write-up for an inside look! https://buff.ly/45x8fJe #toolsforthought #ipfs

Introducing Fund Ring!

Fund Ring is a Web3 funding primitive that seeks to help Filecoin and IPFS-connected open source projects get long-term support for maintenance, security, and feature updates with monthly or annual funding. https://fission.codes/blog/introducing-fund-ring-a-web3-fundraising/ #filecoin #opensource #ipfs

It was an exciting week at Fission with a big grant announcement, a podcast appearance, and more! https://fission.codes/blog/fission-fridays-august-11th-2023/ #ipfs #ipvm

Just had a great coffee meetup with the founders of Kamu https://www.kamu.dev

Large scale data processing in a trustless way. They’re playing in the #IPFS ecosystem, we talked #Rust and #UCAN and it was great to discover them here in our backyard of #Vancouver

Location-based addressing uses soft links (URLs) to point to where the file is located.

Content addressing, on the other hand, uses cryptographic hashing to generate a unique identifier (CID) from the data that describe itself. The CID acts as a hard link that points to a specific version of a file.

Learn more about how content addressing works and its benefits for distributed systems today on the blog: https://fission.codes/blog/content-addressing-what-it-is-and-how-it-works/ #contentaddressing #IPFS

Did you know that a Fissioneer submitted one of the first-ever accepted IPIPs? Learn about Redirect Support for IPFS, and how it makes it easier to host modern web apps: https://fission.codes/blog/introducing-redirect-support-for-ipfs/ #ipfs #p2p #webapp

Here's a sneak peek at the architecture for how the #ActivityPub integration in #DistributedPress is going to work!

tl;dr:
- Publish static JSON+HTML for your posts/AP identity (on #IPFS and other #p2p protocols)
- In your AP JSON link to our inbox server
- AP servers use an HTTP gateway to load your AP data
- Users can send replies to your inbox server
- Inbox server has a moderation queue to put follower data and replies back into your site via static files / webhooks

Also, here's a recording of the talk I did at their last conference (used to be called Bloom) on #p2p and #decentralized web apps.

I get into the weeds on #IPFS and #BitTorrent and how this technology works under the hood.

Here's a recording of my last presentation there: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pp8pfXk4wqLQ8pfXk4wqLQ

It's about #p2p #web apps. I get in the weeds on #IPFS and #BitTorrent and how these tools work in general under the hood.

Building apps on the decentralized web comes with several green🌱 benefits.

For example, instead of sending data to a server at a data center, data can be stored locally or at or near the edge. Fission's WNFS is a distributed file system built on IPFS, a hypermedia P2P protocol that stores data on various nodes in the network. Apps with WNFS also enjoy offline access, reducing the need for constant Internet access! https://fission.codes/blog/building-a-greener-internet/ #ipfs #decentralizedweb

When running a computation, we take arguments and apply them to a Wasm function. This outputs a CID or content identifier. When computation runs over these CIDs, new CIDs are output.

This means we can compute over that content-addressed data without needing a centralized server!

Location addressing is a method for referencing data by it's location in a storage system.

Content addressing, on the other hand, references the data itself. It does this by generating a CID (content identifier) that is unique to that piece of content.

Content addressing provides key benefits like immutability, verification of data, and deduplication that location addressing can't. #ipfs #contentaddressing

DIDs say who you are. (AuthN - authentication)
UCANs say what you can do (AuthZ - authorization)

Learn more about UCANs on the Fission blog: https://fission.codes/blog/ipfs-thing-2023-ucan-decentralize-auth/ #decentralizedweb #ipfs #web3

New to WNFS? Here's a an overview of our versioned and encrypted file system built on top of IPFS. https://fission.codes/blog/ipfs-thing-2023-wnfs/ #ipfs #decentralizedweb #protocolengineering

Start of #IPFSThing thread! I’m attending along with a bunch of people from the @fission team.

Conference starts tomorrow goes through next Wednesday, gathering together #IPFS core protocol implementors.
