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.
