Syncthing is like a base layer for a personal P2P system, beyond the basic file sync I use Syncthing to sync Joplin Notes, Money Manager Ex, KeePass, RetroShare and what ever else I can.
Soulseek, among others. Putting my ~400 GB classical music collection out there.
CumBroth and oldfart, thank you for being internet heroes. Soulless is the best.
Have you done it via server or computer? I never got any hits from my server version
Im using soulseek-qt on a server, from the linuxserver docker container
qbittorrent

What is it? Why do you find it useful?
Sounds like a diff kind of IPFS.
Simply put,from the users perspective it's like IPFS but with the possibility to change the data without changing (and thus having to redistribute) the link.
It's also easy to set up and the sharing of data is not based on benevolent nodes but reciprocal sharing.
On a side note, it doesn't use any crypto or similar and is 100% decentralised and FOSS.
It's basically FOSS hosting.
Are there Forums with the tenfingers URLs or how does this work?
SoulSeek via Nicotine+ running on my NAS sharing my music, movies, and TV shows.
Syncthing is one of the best software I used. I use it to sync my notes.
I feel like p2p applications aren't necessarily the ones you would be self hosting.
With that being said, I have thought about running a libp2p bootstrap node.
