Limewire was launched 26 years ago today, the man behind it went on to organise RKF Jr's political campaign.
I still have files I downloaded from that network, older than some adults running about these days.

Ars Technica: “Yo what?” LimeWire re-emerges in online rush to share pulled “60 Minutes” segment. “On Reddit, users shared links to a LimeWire torrent, prompting chuckles from people surprised to see the peer-to-peer service best known for infecting parents’ computers with viruses in the 2000s suddenly revived in 2025 to skirt feared US government censorship.”

So, I installed #PairDrop on an #OpenWRT router for two reasons:
1. I like #LocalSend but their server is not open source and you cannot self host it completely.
2. It falls back to websockets so you can still use it while offline for the local network.Don’t get me started on #Limewire.

New docker release of #decentralized #p2p search engine YaCy arrived. https://yacy.net
A better alternative to duckduckgo #searx .
new images are now about 400MB instead of 1.3-2GB because of enhanced packaging. And they are multi-arch!
With docker you can run YaCy simply with:
docker run -d -p 8090:8090 yacy/yacy_search_server:latestP2P technologies and P2P search engines are more sustainable and fault-tolerant than centralized cloud or VPS-based systems because they distribute data and processing across many independent nodes rather than relying on a single or limited set of servers. This decentralization reduces energy consumption by leveraging existing resources on users' devices instead of massive data centers that require constant cooling and power. It also enhances fault tolerance, as the network remains operational even if multiple nodes fail, avoiding single points of failure common in centralized models. Furthermore, P2P search engines protect privacy by reducing reliance on centralized data collection. By democratically sharing load and data, P2P systems create resilient, scalable, and eco-friendly alternatives to traditional centralized architectures.
alternative classic search engines https://swisscows.com/en http://kagi.com http://frogfind.com
alternative p2p tech to try that provide p2p distributed search capabilities : dc++ , gnutella2 , zeronet , holochainIf you do self host YaCy, or maybe use fancy non bittorrent p2p & publish a video review on peertube - let me know.
Please boost, re-toot, re-tweet this post across #fediverse this is important.
