Still pretty happy with what we did here for #p2p #ActivityPub https://distributed.press/2023/12/05/announcing-distributed-press-social-inbox-1-0/

The biggest problem for peer to peer ActivityPub is the fact that ActivityPub is primarily a "pull" protocol. You need to fetch a remote actor before interacting with it. This is not feasible in the environment where nodes are intermittently online.

What if we used a special activity to request objects? I've described this idea in more detail in Asynchronous object retrieval:

https://codeberg.org/silverpill/feps/src/branch/main/aef6/fep-aef6.md

I think this mechanism, if combined with self-authenticating objects, should make ActivityPub compatible with store and forward protocols.

Decentralized browser-based P2P E2EE messaging.

The key detail that sets this apart from other messaging apps is the browser-based client-side cryptography philosophy.

No need to install anything. Your ID is crypto-random and so the app doesnt need to rely on any central registration system like phone numbers. Your ID is unguessable and to connect to someone, you have to explicitly share it.

WebRTC has other nuances like being to route through a shared network for secure/faster transfer.

I hope this project has reached a level i can share the following details. I've made a genuine effort towards documentation and transparancy. I dont think it'll ever be enough and so im still concerned it isnt ready to share. While im using AI throughout. This is not a vibecoded project. There is attention throughout for unit tests and formal-verification. With your feedback, id like to make improvements for clarity throughout.

This version of the app demonstrates a fairly unique approach using a browser-based, local-only and webrtc approach. I know it's impossible for any system to be the "world's most secure", but that isnt a reason to not try. By rigorously implementing an exhaustive list of security features and practices, the aim is to get as close as possible.

Speaking of p2panda in the wild: @d1 will soon be hosting a group discussion and hands-on workshop exploring peer-4-peer: an approach to building digital tools rooted in the concepts of mutual-aid, free software, offline-first and peer-2-peer.

p2panda hacking in Go?!

Our excitement levels are at all-time highs!

Friend of p2panda, @pojntfx , recently gave a terrific, wide-ranging talk - titled 'A Digital Ecosystem That Is Free as in Democracy' - on the topic of sovereign app development.

p2panda is discussed in some detail, starting around the 21 minute mark (video link on the site below).

It's so exciting to see our work being mentioned in the wild like this 🥰 Thank you, Felicitas!

I'd like to share the latest version of my project.

It's a a decentralised P2P messaging app. The aim is of course privacy and security.

It demonstrates a fairly unique approach by using browser-based local-only storage with webrtc.

@retro @cypherpunk The only #p2p browser I know of still being developed is @agregore by @mauve

For example Beaker Browser and Impervious Browser seem to have been shelved several years hence.

Are there any other peer-to-peer browsers worth inspection?

Reminder: There are no accounts in the classic sense anywhere with #chatmail or #deltachat.

It's all private profiles on end user devices which co-ordinate in a #p2p fashion. Chat profiles *use* email (relay) addresses for transporting messages through a federated e2ee-restricted SMTP network.

A chat profile or chat group has zero data on the server. It's radically different from classic email servers, Whatsapp, Signal, XMPP and Matrix servers which host and control chat identity.

Two more p2p lectures coming up at @offline ! Starting each at 19:00

✦ 08.05.26 Mesh Networks & Encryption
We continue here from last time focusing on the cryptography in mesh networks.

✦ 09.06.26 Identity Systems
Covering some approaches in handling user identities in p2p systems, DiDs, "trust" networks, petname systems, problems around privacy and anonymity, especially in combination with immutable data types

⁉ 👉 https://pads.offline.place/p/r.06dda241c03ad92f2a55c47f4bbdd419

#p2p #berlin #mesh #localfirst

Tomorrow is another #p2p lecture series event at @offline in #berlin

✦ 09.06. 19:00 Identity Systems!

We look into petname systems, multi-device setups, the decentralized identifier (DID) standard and privacy problems arising with attaching your identity "forever" to immutable data-types.

And I'm sure much more will come up as soon as we start!

More info here: https://pads.offline.place/p/r.06dda241c03ad92f2a55c47f4bbdd419

The final countdown: iroh v1.0-rc.1 is now ready. Please test it! If you don't report anything serious it'll be called 1.0 in two weeks time.
