  • I’m currently chatting with some folks in a discord server, but idk if I’m able to invite others. I’m planning to spin up a lemmy instance to facilitate more project discussion. Pretty informal at this stage, but our current draft configs are mirrored here and I have some of my other projects on there as well.

    I originally wanted to have a cute little cluster of fossil repos, but the forum is text only and that’s pretty limiting.












  • Dansup doesn’t really deliver novel tech, but I’m always happy to see the idea getting out there and working out UX ideas at least. Federated video is a tough one. Web p2p tech is extremely limited so don’t expect too much. Fedi dev’s fixation of web technologies is really holding the platform back imo. Peertube makes bit torrent look bad by not being a complete peer experience, only because browsers can’t do real networking. like, I can stream any show I want over bit torrent the day it releases no problem. with over 40 peers for popular content. hosting tiktok-like content could be just as good, but you just can’t do this with web.

    Sadly, most of the more technical projects have reactionary politics and a blockchain attached… That’s slowly changing, but we have way less funding at our disposal so its rough.




  • Mostly private, but I’ve used public peers in the past to give myself more flexibility. I usually have a cheap VPS setup as a gateway. The auto routing is really powerful, I just have a couple of hosts on my LAN that peer directly with the gateway and the rest is handled by local discovery. My mobile clients will usually have the same gateway setup for roaming, but if I’m hanging out at a library I might use a public peer over TLS if my gateway’s port is blocked.


  • I use yggdrasil which, I believe, is wireguard under the hood, but the key generation and routing are all done automatically using LAN discovery or by connecting to peers on the network. I’ve tested out other overlay netw, rks like tinc and cjdns, but yggdasil has been the most reliable of the bunch. Its nice because the host key is used to derive an ipv6 address that can be physically relocated without doing any manual route changes.

    I used to run a bunch of services over yggdrasil, but I had some economic struggles for a while and I had to delete most of it. I’ll bring it back at some point though, this time with even more yggdrasil.
