They are, but archiving without publishing is pointless. I occasionally wonder how many enormous collections of culture like that of Marion Stokes[1] have been lost because their curators made no effort to realize the value of their collection. 1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marion_Stokes
> They are, but archiving without publishing is pointless. One may collect/archive now (when the data is, well, "available"), and publish later, when copyright expires and the material will likely be harder to obtain.

Defaults absolutely matter. And no, I dont my whole internal network enumerable because of 'convenience'.
I don't think the kind of crowd IPFS attracts would wanna use the default config. Most ould choose to configure according to their setup.
It takes very little to set up IPFS to just listen to tun0, disable routing (let ygg do its job) and throttle the bw a little so it doesn't hog the whole network.
I would be surprised if the Kubo/IPFS developers didn't already configure Ygg for themselves, as both are software written in Go.
The author of NNCP https://nncp.mirrors.quux.org/ (and the other author from Tofuproxy) are pretty much aware of Yggdrasil.
Well! Not really a surprise, is it? We knew that DNS censorship was coming sooner or later. The real surprise is that it lasted so long. X509 (TLS) PKI is also probably being abused right now. We know how differently the administration sees services like these that are actually beneficial to humanity. Choosing to rely on services like DNS and PKI exclusively for the function they provide is a very bad idea going forw…
I wonder if in the interim period between DNS blocks and full IP bans, some websites will start distributing their IP addresses directly as the "official" way to connect to them.

I'm not entirely sure what this sort of pedantry is meant to accomplish. Congratulations on being technically correct, I suppose? Both I and GP have pointed out the crux of the matter, and you are ignoring it.
> Both I and GP have pointed out the crux of the matter "They're not 'a' non-profit". > and you are ignoring it. No. I am challenging it. I've seen no evidence either way and so far it seems nor have you. So let's wait and see.
> We recommend checking our Wikipedia page for the latest domains. I wonder how wikipedia feels being used as DNS? EDIT: Apparently this is a well known practice. Some interesting discussion here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40008383
Can’t imagine they care too much given they themselves also run public dns servers.
And that's why helping torrenting and seeding the content of AA is vital: they can take down a domain name but not block everyone who seeds. I said this before but if you've got some spare GB/TB on a computer/server, consider "donating" it for culture preservation purposes: https://annas-archive.se/torre nts
I wish I knew what I was seeding though And I don't mean the copyrighted part (I don't care about that) but the actual content which might be questionable
Surprise to who exactly? Anna’s Archive has been one of the most blatant piracy outlets to come around since the days of Napster.
Anna is welcome here on the Group W bench.
