iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

All it took was writing our own DNS resolution crate & some number of months shaving down dependencies ☺️

Please be aware that this morning at about 07:10 UTC a malicious version (0.3.10, now removed) of the arrayref crate was published. This crate is a transitive dependency of iroh, via blake3 and might have made it onto your (CI) machine if you happened to cargo update between 07:10 and ~08:10 UTC.

Cross-platform AirDrop replacement that works both locally and over the internet using Iroh github.com/chad/iroh-drop I have Mac and Windows clients plus a protocol and rust-based CLI. Actually useful already but it could be polished and would love to have more clients.

These days I find myself using a "green eggs and ham test" to evaluate APIs. An API should be centered on doing a thing, with variations to support different use cases: - "would you like `ls` on a boat?" - "would you like `ls` with perms?" - "would you like `ls` on a plane, with sizes, in the rain?"

Alright, I think I'm starting to understand Iroh.computer, a bit at least. Going just to ramble off my understanding in public in the hopes someone tells me I'm completely wrong (and why if I am lucky), or maybe it will also help someone else? Any how it's a cool thing to talk/learn about!

We just released the first stable version of iroh, v1.0! Read about it: www.iroh.computer/blog/v1 We're super proud of where we landed with iroh's 1.0. Since version 0.35 it feels like we've entirely replaced the "engine underneath". Are you a fellow key-dialer? Come tell us how you use iroh!

I wrote a blog post about QUIC address validation tokens. Why they are useful in client/server QUIC, why they aren't as important in @iroh.computer p2p QUIC, and a concrete example how to use them for a 0-rtt RPC service. www.iroh.computer/blog/address...

Address validation tokens - what are they good for anyway?

A closer look at QUIC NEW_TOKEN tokens, why they exist, and what they buy you in iroh and noq.

v0.95 was the first release on noq, with multipath. We've cleaned things up a *lot* since then. We're now roughly at parity with v0.95 in terms of holepunching performance. Next step is to keep knocking out corner cases

If you're wondering why iroh 1.0 is taking a minute it's because this is the viewer we needed to build to make sense of the logs. And yes, there is a spec for the log format, which we also had to implement Real infrastructure takes time, and we're very, very close

Two papers came out last week that suggest classical asymmetric cryptography might indeed be broken by quantum computers in just a few years. That means we need to ship post-quantum crypto now, with the tools we have: ML-KEM and ML-DSA. I didn't think PQ auth was so urgent until recently.

The risk that cryptographically-relevant quantum computers materialize within the next few years is now high enough to be dispositive, unfortunately.
