I'm real sorry to say, I'm going to be closing down this project in the very near future.

I'm very sorry to read this, because I was a huge fan of Beaker Browser's approach to decentralizing publishing. I preferred Dat/Hypercore over IPFS because IPFS is being promoting alongside Filecoin and other cryptocurrencies by crypto shills.

https://agregore.mauve.moe/ seems like a plausible successor, but it supports IPFS as well and I don't want to have anything to do with IPFS. I've lost my enthusiasm for this space as web3 turning everything into financial instruments and MLM schemes has come to dominate discussions of "decentralization".

Noob questions for a start ! (lemmy.ml)

Hi, just discovered beaker here and the protocol that it uses. I have a simple question : if I browse to a page I like, and want to support it by "seeding" to help with the availability of the page, is there a simple way to do so with for example a simple and lightweight client that could run on a server (or a simple self-hosted server on a single board computer) ?

Can I do it for a specific page ? For a complete hyperdrive ?

Is there a simple way for an author to be identified as the creator of an hyperdrive, and if so, can I download and help seeding for all the work of a single author across multiple drives ?

Sorry if there are any stupid questions, I'm just a curious noob ! Don't be afraid to point it out if any questions are not that relevant !
