Anyone remember the P2P craze of the early 2000s'?
Or was it late 90s? What's left over from that? Freenet?
What I'm always wondering about: Someone needs to foot the server/bandwidth bills. Who?
If you run a Pi on your home network and serve requests with your 5MB/s upload: That's fine. More power to you. We need more of that. (and in that case, you are paying your ISP)
But the transformation envisioned and the bandwidth and compute required doesn't come for free. Someone's gotta pay. In things like dollars.
How can this work?
