TFA mentions "open road" in subtitle, then proceeds with anecdotes of city driving on the coasts sipping chain coffee. That's a very small representation of driving in America.

I would think there's value in wrapping up all of these steps into an easy-to-use CLI (that check for deps, download things as needed w/ opt-in custom paths, etc). Are there legal concerns for making this too easy, or it is just b

You can use KDFs based on passwords, shared phrases, etc even if they are just a shared secret in a DH exchange. I made a thing a while back ( https://myscreen.live/ ) that did a common-phrase that was in a URL fragment which

I have a naive question as I'm toying w/ a similar WebRTC project myself. Since all browsers support h264/opus, can I just reasonably ask each client to send 720p to my WebRTC peer which is really a server before I relay it?

Right, I understand it's more general, but there is a use cases section in the explainer that putting this there might have value. In other cases where encryption is used (e.g. fetch, webrtc itself, etc), often we ask the browser to do

I see nothing in the specification that specifically mentions encryption. Are there any concerns about performance of in-JS streaming encryption? Does the encoder/decoder take promises and are they expected to use the subtle crypto API

I think you're confusing the implementation of threads with the feature itself. Emails (and mailing lists), forums, reddit, HN, etc has shown us that threads are great. IMO they make discussions less ephemeral which is a good thing for

I have been considering developing a simple video conferencing solution using this approach with WebRTC. Basically, I was planning on doing something like this example [0] of server-side peers or just a set of forced TURN servers, whichever

This looks great to reuse protobuf definitions in a high performance situation. I would be curious how the performance of this compares to flatbuffers given a reader or byte slice as the use cases seem similar.

With these systems, I've often found that black-box testing is what is required. This is at a systems level, even higher than this blog suggests. Yes, there are specific error scenarios and timing situations you may not cover with such

Being DNS based, pi-hole cannot block specific paths of otherwise-acceptable domains nor can it do any cosmetic filtering. It is not necessarily a better approach for web browsing.

A while back I wrote a screen sharer that uses WebRTC and Gun.js for signaling [0]. Nowadays you could use IPFS's JS lib to do this (or webtorrent even). Now if both people are behind a restrictive NAT or something, you do need a TURN

Several of those bindings that I have tried leave a lot to be desired, especially since Qt widgets often encourage C++ class inheritance.

Were I to have ample ISP choices, I wouldn't want net neutrality as much. While the principle is still sound, the need for NN would be more reactionary and probably only in response to ISP collusion.
