Comment on As governments around the world are set to make the Internet more restrictive and privacy-invading, we need a solution

I have always wondered about distributed hosting, like BitTorrent, but for websites. You go to a webpage, and it gets seeded from however many people host the file. It should be harder to take down. Is that a thing? Why not?

So like IPFS?

  I tried really hard to use IPFS. I set up a syncthing and did some auto-publishing scripts.
  
  It’s slow AF, and unless you pay some big player to pin your files there’s only about a 1 in 10 chance of it actually being available everywhere. I had to actually peer my computers together to get sure fire access to my own data.
  
  Then there’s very little in the way of privacy. I did some JavaScript crypto self-decrypting archives that was kind of fun But with the distribution problems it just became more of a hassle to use than anything.

Tenfingers does distributed sharing, it’s basically your folder(s) in the cloud but decentralised, so it could be your website by just publish the html and the rest.
