They need to take the whole internet down for that :)


For chilling effect, they can just sue a few ipfs users who happen to be mirrowing the files.

IPFS really needs to move to a darknet. It's a major privacy issue when it's possible to see which user has a file cached (e.g. has used the file).


As long as you don't have control on which files are stored on the machine, they'll need to sue the IPFS protocol inventors, good luck with that. I the meanwhile, let's just have fun and leave these dark thought behind ^_^


You seem confused. This is (fortunately!) still not how law works in either theory or practice anywhere I am aware.

Besides, the IPFS operator/client is always in full control by design. IPFS is not a darknet. You may be confusing it with Hyphanet or Freenet.


>they'll need to sue the IPFS protocol inventors, good luck with that.

Eh, Nintendo doesn't need to be on the right in order to sue.

And has a long history of forcing defendants into awful settlements, through sheer power of being bigger than the target.

Refer to the story of the Yuzu and Citra emulators, for a recent example.


Er, no.

In this sense IPFS is just a transport protocol. Hosting illegal metarial over it is not inherently safer than doing the same over e.g. Bittorrent.

It's enough to go after the endpoints. Which is actually easier than with HTTP or Bittorrent because it is really hard to properly proxy and run IPFS without inadvertently leaking metadata. Being able to run IPFS anonymously over e.g. Tor has in the past been referred to as an anti-goal by maintainers[0].

In practice today even that's probably not necessary, just go after the top 5 or so public http bridges like dweb.link and cf...

All the games listed are open sourced.


> All the games listed are open source

If you indeed have obtained a license allowing you share binaries of games like Mario Kart, Advance Wars and Final Fantasy VI Advance, I assume you also need to provide a copy of that license, and sources upon request.

So unless that is just a blatant lie, please also share the licenses and sources.

...Got any browser 0-days to share while you're at it?


Also, please have a look at how I use DockerServer:

Thanks!!

My use-case was a bit different...

I am running Lambda functions on AWS that on some rules needed to run containers in specific geographical locations Amazon didn't have data centers, like in Israel.

Defining docker-machine (as you mentioned) requires some work. Also it's not easily reproducible if I need to reinstall the machine and many other minor offsets.

To be honest, I heard about Portainer after I had my DockerServer running, but it has a lot of UI functionality I will never use and it's way heavier.

DockerServer is the lightest wrapper there is for running docker containers from remote over simple HTTP(S) and also I got A+ score on LGTM :)
