Fair, Yggdrasil is mainly intended for research in internet-scale routing through a mesh network and less as a finished product.

Never heard of libp2p before, but apparently it’s used by IPFS? Looks pretty interesting indeed.

What are some key differences?

Sounds relatively similar to Yggdrasil

Looks like it’s intended to be used interactively from your desktop.

Maybe also check out Ente. They went open source relatively recently, but have been developing it for a while with their SaaS platform.
They have a free tier (5GB) if you wanted to test it very quickly.

QuickSync is usually plenty to transcode. You will get more performance with a dedicated GPU, but the power consumption will increase massively.

Nvidia also has a limit how many streams can be transcoded at the same time. There are driver hacks to circumvent that.

Considering the precedents in the US, any books about gender, sex and history.

As the sibling comment says, not a static site generator. If you want to customize pretty much anything about the layout or theming you still need to use Twig, CSS and if you’re unlucky JS.

*tried to

It was still close enough that the production company feels they can win with their claim.

I mean the 4K77 Project stuff. They have everything on their own forum and only offer Resilio downloads.

I only used it to download certain Star Wars versions, because these nice gentlemen couldn’t be bothered to use real torrents.

No idea how you would use that as a Syncthing replacement though.

Still, it makes adding new devices much more of a hassle.

I use migadu.com now, previously also used mailbox.org and protonmail.
The great part with migadu is how much control you have. Want to add multiple domains or have multiple users? No problem. (Though they reserve the right to ask what you’re doing if it’s excessive).
Limits are based on mails sent, mails received and storage space.
I was on their cheapest plan (19$/year) until I filled my receiving contingent because my servers had issues and monitoring kept dutifully sending email alerts about that.

I’m aware of these options to do RAG, though I’m not using any yet. Only SillyTavern for chat stuff

Apologies for the late response

I can access every node by IP (IPv6 to be precise).
Discovery within a local network happens through regular broadcasts. For connecting different networks, you need to set peering addresses that are reachable and configure the other side to listen.
You only need one node per network though, the others will automatically discover the path and connect on the best route to their target. If your node in the middle falls over, any other node that’s reachable can be used instead. The Yggdrasil Blog posts have some explainations of the algorithms used.

There’s no explicit gateway, but you can use standard routing and firewall tools to do whatever you want. I only use it for accessing internal stuff, not as a full VPN for my client devices, but you could probably make that work by setting one node as router and configure its Yggdrasil ip as you gateway (excluding the traffic you need to connect to the VPN).

One downside is that everything’s still in progress and most versions change significant parts of the routing scheme, meaning it doesn’t work with the previous version. It is primarily a research tool for internet scale mesh networks, but releases are also infrequent enough where you shouldn’t worry too much.

Don’t pick up the phone on the weekend

I use Yggdrasil now with a whitelist of public keys. Though I’m thinking about redoing my architecture in general to make key distribution easier, have more automated DNS entries and also use the tunnel for any node to node communication.

Before that I tried Tailscale with Headscale, but I didn’t want to have a single node responsible for the network and discovery.

Most VMs only run containers, but I have supporting services on every host as well. Stuff like the mesh VPN, monitoring agent or firewall.
If I want a quick overview, a quick systemctl status will tell me everything I need to know.

I’ve been managing my containers using the older mechanism (systemd-generate) since I started and it’s great. You get the reliable service start of systemd and its management interface. Monitoring is consistent with all your other services and you have your logs in exactly one location.

I really wouldn’t want a separate interface or service manager just because I’m running containers.
