    sup steb, this is expede's work!

    Comment #47450212

    Now, see. that's what I said as well. But the rest of the team was tired of me trying to name the hosted iroh "n0des", which I'm now ready to admit was a stretch. And so now here w…

    It's been a draft for a long while, and was only recently approved

    disclosure: I work on the team behind noq. Can't emphasize enough that the quinn maintainers are really lovely people, and quinn is an excellent project.

    worm-blossom crew is just a delightful bunch of humans doing really great work

    delighted to hear! iroh-blobs is Rüdiger's love letter to BLAKE3, and hot dang has he taken this piece of machinery quite far. Much of this is covered in the post, but some highlig…

    Yep! It's totally usable for games, and used in a few! One of my favs is the godot engine plugin: https://github.com/tipragot/godot-iroh QUIC can do both reliable & unreliable stre…

    sibling comment with links to docs is the more accurate, but to summarize, it's some of both: * all connections are always e2ee (even when traffic flows through a relay) * relays a…

    yes, to an extent. It will time out if the connection completely dies for more than the timeout interval, but all connections are designed to survive changes to network changes lik…

    same team behind dumbpipe makes sendme, which is much closer to this use case! https://github.com/n0-computer/sendme

    Comment #44702999

    it's p2p. dumbpipe is hardcoded to use a public set of relays that we run for free (we being number 0, the team that make iroh & dumbpipe). we can definitely add a config argument …

    Thanks for the heads up! We've fixed: https://github.com/n0-computer/dumbpipe.dev/pull/11

    less configuration. more reliable. less pure p2p (iroh uses relays)

    Comment #44382069

    ah very sorry, I can see how this isn't all that clear. In the comment you've mentioned when I say "custom protocol" I mean a custom QUIC ALPNs: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/ht…

    Comment #44381138

    yep totally doable. You'd use iroh configured with mainline, Then write a custom protocol for the grpc bit: https://www.iroh.computer/docs/protocols/writing We use this a bunch for…

    keys are always ED25519, we use raw public key bytes, without prefixes. Applications are more than welcome to use prefixes, but the use of ED25519 is not configurable

    Comment #44381064

    Yeah, no_std is going to be very hard. We need a no_std implementation of QUIC that can be wielded by mere mortals first, which I don't think we'll be able to start on for at least…

    Comment #44380946

    There's no reason this _can't_ be built. The thing that's missing is simulating a raw UDP socket. We could adapt the pattern from dumbpipe wrapping a TCP listner: https://github.co…

    (disclosure: I work on iroh): you're selling yourself short! All of this is accurate, except for maybe the BGP stuff :) Dumb Pipe & Sendme me are indeed demos, we do provide a set …

    I don't know much about the fund itself, but https://www.indie.vc/ seems like their whole thesis is this middle path.

    Comment #43328047

    I work on iroh, and this is exactly correct. It doesn't do locally discovery by default, but can be configured to discover devices on local networks. Docs link above is the best pl…

    If you're a rust fan we make a similar library, that's all-in on "p2p-QUIC", with pre-baked protocols to import on top: https://github.com/n0-computer/iroh

    I switched recently from vscode, and it's now my daily driver. I mainly edit rust & typescript, experience has been great. I did need two critical keybindings for toggling the term…
