The Internet Computer (IC) is the world computer of the Web 3.0 age. This page explains what the IC is and why it is a great choice to host Web 3.0 apps.
Is this like p2p except peers don't own the computers?
Most likely a scam or incredibly misguided. I bet you can only publish a site once and can't edit it lol
I've never worked with it before but looks like you can redeploy the "canister" and all code/data inside of it: https://internetcomputer.org/docs/current/developer-docs/setup/manage-canisters/#reinstall-a-canister
Well that's good at least. AFAIK the last time something like this was attempted, there was a critical bug that couldn't be patched cause it was in the blockchain, lol. (Hopefully you won't need to pay for reinstalls too.)
I still feel like using CF workers or literally anything else would be better than wrapping yourself in the crypto BS. Hell, I can see a resurgence in PC part hoarding if stuff like these become popular, since it could basically replace mining. But IG it's up to the individual devs to choose what to host their stuff on.
What does CF mean in this context? Because the only meaning for "CF" that I'm familiar with is "Child Free" lol
