On the Roads with Dave – One Year in the World of the Autonomous Internet

That would be nice, if a user see that there is progress happening then they also don’t have to stare at it waiting to complete.

Similar to installing something and there is no completion bar or the icon just hangs and you stare at it wondering if things are working or not.

Yeah sounds good if the app can be more particular about what is going on at the moment.

But afterwards the meaningful upload time is the time it takes from the start to the moment the upload is secured.

BTW, is Dave slower than CLI?

I’m looking for a lot of mp4, avi and other video types for testing. Ideally 40+ of them with some of them being related in terms of playlists. No pressure, just thought I would mention it!

plenty of suitable material at the Internet Archive

theres this for starters

and this

I assume you’re talking about content already uploaded to Autonomi?

@Southside is this very, very valuable clip you shared available for public distribution? I wouldn’t want to infringe on big brother’s rights, you do know that their missiles are 2-5 minutes closer to me than they are to you, right?

These are folk songs, they belong to the people, not any corporation.

Try this Хей, Поле Широко Hey, Wide Field ( Bulgarian Partisan Song) : GETchan : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive

or better this

Made for sharing amongst us all :slight_smile:

who the Israelis? I know they use the MPAA to get at those who try to evade zio-taxes but even that is overkill for them
Just you stay on the good side of Nuttanyahoo, he has more reason to point his missiles at you than anyone else. And they are nearer.
I wouldn’t trust the Brits in Cyprus either. Actually the last 3 words are superfluous …

Stay safe, stay sane, read your history… thoroughly - from various sources…

I have been silent on the forum for some time, but now the time has come for me to ask a question, because I’m not sure I understand something.

I clicked some of @Dimitar’s links above, and the videos started playing instantly in the browser (well I only had to press the play button). Also, the last link with the ‘Show your Fire’ video downloaded immediately and VERY fast.

My question is: is this material now coming from the Autonomi network? If so, how come I do not need to install anything? It just works instantly? On the clear-web? In my standard browser?

If true: :collision: WOW!! :collision: Hats off to all people involved, and also to @Dimitar for demonstrating the power of this network! Thank you! I feel this is overlooked by many, as the counters next to the links indicate that not many people have clicked the links that you have posted. Keep up the good work!

So I encourage all readers of this message to click one or two of Dimitar’s links, to experience the power and magic that is demonstrated here :dizzy:

That is the work of anttp the app that is allowing this magic to happen. So yes it is off the network and anttp is using a proxy for web browsers to access without anything special.

anttp also has a local proxy mode as well that requires an app running on your computer to server up the data off the network

But there is also some cache at the proxy server, right? So if someone has opened the link recently, it is kept locally there and not fetched from the network to each viewer separately?

I am the first to test the links after uploading and it is indistinguishable from subsequent openings. So yes, downloading from the network is quite good.

ANTTP is a predecessor of the so-called portals to Autonomi. Currently, there are two camps of thought on how the adoption of the network will proceed.

The first supports the hypothesis that people are waiting for such a technology on a mass scale and will use it directly.

The second camp believes that we are 20 years before mass direct use and the realistic expectation is the use of the network through portals, i.e. the user will not even realize that he is using Autonomi.

In order for mass use through portals to start, we need the ability to limit what content can be opened through the portal - functionality for whitelists and ban lists.

Currently, any freak can upload sick content and distribute it through someone else’s portal, so only a very brave person or a good communist would launch a public portal.

The fun will begin when there is such a limitation functionality and you can launch a server in the cloud for $5 and attach a portal to it through which 1 petabyte of content is accessible, this will make heads explode and it will be a unique flex.

Quick update, just need mp4, webm, and ogg video files. Won’t be supporting mkv at the start since browsers don’t natively support it. I don’t think avi and mov will be supported initially either - if there are some examples of those types I can try them though.

This is coming… :slight_smile: I’ve just completed a bunch of refactors to make this next step easier.

Right now, you could probably limit URLs via a firewall of sorts in front of AntTP, but it adds a layer of complexity. It’s certainly possible though.

AntTP will soon have features to load allow/block filters from the CLI and/or from the network directly. The latter may actually be handy for sharing common filters across instances, e.g. if a known address is not fit for sharing, it could be added to that list.

Ofc, that doesn’t stop folks hosting their own unfiltered instances and/or local instances of AntTP. However, in a world where the middleman is said to be responsible, precautions must be considered.

Guilty as charged, said he proudly… :slight_smile: :cuba: :vietnam: :laos: :china:

Well actually running antsnest.site costs me about $10/month - but that is waaay overspecced and is actally a machine I was using to run a few hundred nodes that I never bothered to downsize after I gave up on VPS nodes - So, yeah, a min spec VPS would do fine. We will eventually need several thousand of these proxy servers.
Luckily, @safemedia - who is the brains behind this - has written very simple instructions to help YOU play your part in making the network useable for n00bs

Heres the last 7 days on antsnest.site
