Episode notes
Decentralized Storage Breaks Big Tech's Hold
- Filecoin creates a decentralized alternative to big tech by letting people control where their data is stored instead of relying on Amazon, Microsoft, or Google.
- Decentralized storage reduces single points of failure and supports resilient, long-term preservation of critical datasets.
Redundancy Protects Critical Data
- Storing multiple copies across independent nodes removes single points of failure common in centralized cloud services.
- This redundancy ensures access to vital data even when individual servers or providers go offline.
Make Reuse Rules Explicit
- Use Creative Commons licenses to make reuse rules explicit and broaden your work's reach.
- Choose licenses (e.g., CC0 or CCBY) that match how you want others to attribute or reuse your creations.
