After 5 years, 0.11.0 is finally out

Devs better be working in the non-bloated terminal interface. They need documentation but docs ain't gonna happen if they don't polish CLI first.

I and at least one other person I know have been waiting for this particular release to start dumping media collections

What do you mean by bloated exactly? gnunet-search has its inconveniences (e.g. impossible to check availability without attempting to download), but I wouldn't describe that as bloat.

I meant the GUI, the GUI is (or was) bloated. CLI is okay, not fancy those long names tho, sure they make sense seeing all those functions but can confuse a bit.

Fucking sweet.
That being said I still have never gotten around to checking the details of this shit, how does it compare to say ipfs? Other than that it has anonymity built in iirc, while ipfs has to be stacked with e.g. i2p.

The GUI definitely does still need work. However, they did finally get rid of this monstrosity

IPFS is about filesharing faster and needs I2P for privacy, while GNUnet is all about privacy it can do filesharing ootb.

About anonimity, well, is unbeatable. Not tor, not I2P, nothing compares. But that has its drawbacks as in see the comment To be harden privacy this much they make it hard to know if something is on the network at all, and even if they "found it" you don't know if is available or just a mirage. You can turn the configuration to be more findable without sacrificing much.

Lmao, I remember this, hopefully they give the option to preserve the icons for nostalgia though.

GNUnet is designed to be a replacement for the entire current Internet stack. In addition to filesharing it supports its own backward-compatible replacement for DNS, voice and text chat applications, VPN tunnels, etc. GNUnet is more of a framework applications can use and is much bigger in scope than any other p2p project I can think of.

That being said, gnunet's filesharing application is pretty similar to an anonymous version of ipfs, in that a piece of data can be pinned/published and your node will make it available to others who wish to download it, as well as potentially being cached by some others.

The application in that screenshot is gnunet-gtk, which was basically just a simple wrapper with tabs for other gtk applications, such as gnunet-fs-gtk, gnunet-statistics-gtk, gnunet-identity-gtk, etc. For a little while they changed it to better icons with a consistent design, but then they just removed the gnunet-gtk application entirely since there's no reason to open 5 applications at once when someone is likely only using one or two of them.

I think you're talking to that person.
I've returned to civilization again for the time being - Hit me up on IRC dogg.

>i2p
>more anonymous than tor
I don't know about that.

Just as a disclaimer, GNUnet's filesharing isn't really anonymous at the moment. It masks your IP from casual snoops if you use the anonymous filesharing option, but it has neither the network size nor the peer review to rely on its anonymity yet.

I2P uses a different path for outgoing and incoming transmissions.

Also interesting how, somewhat related to this, when we have more users, it will become much faster.

It is. The basic idea is the same, but every peer in i2p can be a transient node, so it's virtually impossible for anyone to sniff the route of your traffic. It also keeps many different routes open so that data doesn't always take the same route.

Important note

For some godforsaken reason the default bandwidth limit is still like 4KBps or something like that, and given all the overhead with routing other people's traffic and a certain percentage of blocks getting lost, you'll be able to upload/download about half that in practice. If you want GNUnet to actually be usable, be sure to update your config file to allow higher bandwidth:

[ats]
WAN_QUOTA_IN = unlimited
WAN_QUOTA_OUT = unlimited

If you don't want it to be unlimited you can replace "unlimited" with a number of bytes (e.g. 10000000 for 10MBps)

Thanks

I've heard Gnunet and Freenet are basically the same thing, how does one support large files but not the other?

Freenet is hot garbage, that's how

So when does this get mainlined into the GNU OS's kernel?

Any decent guides to set it up?

I tried to set it up years ago, but it was excruciating. I won't give up though.
