    *programmatically

    You could put the copy of the password generator on a server owned by you to almost equivalent results, but IPFS is useful here because I can use the copy you’ve made (after checking once it’s not malicious) and keep safely using it knowing nobody has the power to swap it for something malicious, or the hash would be different.

    Should we practice what we preach here? Wanna post the address here?

    Bittorrent is also known for being easy to track outside of private trackers. You’re saying IPFS is easy to block and track, but how does that look like relative to bittorrent? Because if it’s about even, IPFS still has the advantage of not having a centralized tracker.

    I think IPFS alternatives to the services below would improve their reliability, I would use them right now if they exist.

    • IPFS alternative to archive.org and web.archive.org (Wayback machine)
    • IPFS alternative to torrent trackers for pirated media, such as nyaa.si. The file transfers are decentralized but the content index (tracker) itself is centralized. Which is a pretty critical flaw, recently made apparent with RARBG’s takedown.
