I had to read the overview and it looks nice. It reads like IPFS without some of the challenging cruft. Well written!
IPFS seemingly works small scale but not large scale. What makes tenfingers handle millions of files and petabytes of data better than IPFS? Perhaps that is not the goal. In what way do you think the tech scales? Why will discovery of the node which has the data be short?
I want to ask for benchmarks but you can’t do a full benchmark without loads of resources.
You shouldn’t eat candy given to you by strangers. If you’re in a large group and someone knows the candy, maybe. Code is food for your computer. Be wary. Our large Open Source group of friends has learned about many kinds of candy and shouts loudly when some in the group becomes ill. You don’t want to become ill. Some risk exists, but with a large group it is generally ok. Don’t install packages as root, don’t install what you don’t need.
I run my frontend builds through Docker (also during development). By isolating access to the host system to the files/folders necessary for development I’ve shielded off the majority of current realistic attacks I’ve seen as NPM based exploits. I’m certain the approach can be replicated for other frameworks, but we use Ember and docker-ember. I doubt it runs as smoothly on a non-Linux OS.
