Yeah me too, I've been missing this. Personal websites that aren't corporate are so cool.
I'm working on a decentralized free hosting protocol (hosts your stuff, help others host theires. It's all automatic, you just share some stuff and people share yours. All encrypted and so on), it's working, would you be interested in checking it out?
So, like Geocities but, decentralized?
Not to undermine your project, but what's the difference with it, and just quickly spinning up a LAMP?
Geocities, that's a name I haven't heard in a long time! Wasn't that a 3D world or could you share files too?
LAMP is centralised, that's the real difference.
With Tenfingers, you can shut your pc down and your site (or what ever data you share) will still be up.
It's also hard to shut down, files are encrypted (so you must have access to the link file to even know what people share) and possibly shared in lots of different countries.
Geocities, at least how I remember it was a service from Yahoo for people to build their own websites. It was incredibly easy to use. I even had a diablo 1 fan page that was full of cringe XD
Cool, gonna check that out!
One difference with Tenfingers is it's built to be tamper free and takedown safe, so if you put up a video of the Tiananmen square protest or have an old (but somehow "owned") song there, nobody can really know and even if, they'd have more than a hassle to just even limit the availability.
