Perma
Most cloud storage works like a rental: keep paying every month or risk losing access. Perma takes a different approach. You buy upload capacity upfront, your browser encrypts each file before upload, and your private key stays on your device. The result is a private vault that

What it does
The cloud storage you're using was designed for a threat model that no longer exists. Every breach now feeds an AI. Every provider can read your files. Every ransomware crew has better tooling than the teams fighting them. Perma can't read your data. Not won't - can't. Client-side encryption, immutable hardware, $1/GB paid once. Attackers see cypiertext. It's unreadable to everyone, including us. Forever. We're offering 2GB free for everyone who wants to see what REAL permanent storage is.
Client-side encrypted storage without another monthly subscription. Buy upload capacity once and keep your files private.

- EAEncrypt and upload files to IPFS from browser2023 · thirdcloud.org · ▲73
Hi HN, I'm building ThirdCloud with the goal to replace Google Drive for everyone: more private, cheaper & maybe better UI/UX. So far, I've successfully implemented the main feature, which involves uploading and downloading files. Files are encrypted before being sent to IPFS network. Would like to hear your thoughts on this proof of concept.

Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
