Thanks! Inter Planetary File System, no less! I do love the cool/very cheezy name :-)

I actually do know IPFS and how it works, (DHT).

It was IMO one of the first great tries to make data distributed in a decentralised manner. I stumbled onto it in 2016 IIRC.

What I think it is lacking is that it's not possible to change your data without ruining your link/"uri" and that it is based on benevolent links to publish your data. Stepping stones and all that.

I know they are trying to fix the link problem and for me it seems they traded convenience for centralisation.

Would love to hang out somewhere chatting about stuff like that.
