Most likely you didn’t notice, but yesterday I created a new page on this website called pins. On that page, you can find links for some pinned resources on the IPFS network that I like to keep pinned for archiving purposes. There are so many old gems on the Internet!

Some days ago, on the 30th of November, I gave my first talk at BarcampLX, which is a really nice and open event you can go to and present! If you’re interested, you can read more about the concept.

Here’s the talk:

Decentralizing my website with IPFS

It was about two years ago, in 2017, that I got to know IPFS through David Dias. This is not the first time I talk about IPFS here, in my website, but here’s a brief description of what it is: IPFS stands for InterPlanetary File System and it is a peer-to-peer, content-addressed and decentralized protocol.

Created a clone of #xkcd to keep it archived on the decentralised web with #ipfs. Read more about it https://hacdias.com/blog/mirrorring-xkcd-ipfs/!

Mirroring xkcd comics to IPFS

As many of you probably know, xkcd is a web comic created in 2005 by Randall Munroe. Its tagline is “A webcomic of romance, sarcasm, math, and language”. You can read more about the web comic itself on their website.

As part of wanting to contribute to IPFS Archives, I decided to look at the issues and find the most interesting one for me, and I did: xkcd! There were some clones already built, but all of them were out of date and weren’t automatically updated.

For those of you wanting to easily update the #dnslink in Cloudflare, here’s a new package #ipfs https://github.com/ipfs-shipyard/dnslink-cloudflare

What about supporting ipfs:// (ipns and dweb) links in your browser? #IPFS #protocols #dweb

You’ll be able to add stuff to #IPFS via a context menu option on Windows! All of this through #IPFSDesktop! https://github.com/ipfs-shipyard/ipfs-desktop

What about a new #IPFS Desktop? More connected to Web UI than ever with support to different connections and prettier! /cc @olizilla @_fsdiogo @daviddias
