small circle 🕊 in calmness<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://neuromatch.social/@jonny" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>jonny</span></a></span></p><p>&gt; If i was designing a <a href="https://social.coop/tags/P2P" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>P2P</span></a> protocol</p><p>Bit of OT thought.. All these <a href="https://social.coop/tags/LocalFirst" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LocalFirst</span></a> projects are inventing their own sync mechanisms now, and Martin Kleppmann talks about trend towards having a 'generic sync' protocol as an open standard. But no moves are made yet in that direction.</p><p>I have trouble wrapping my head how that'd work in a heterogeneous social network with many actors, apps and composable services. Do we CRDT sync local states directly, or rely on a msg/event-based architecture?</p>
jonny (good kind)<p><a href="https://neuromatch.social/@jonny/113784556826934111" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">quoting myself</a>, bittorrent is like the Hegel of <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/P2P" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>P2P</span></a>, it is the simplest protocol i am aware of that is quite literally just the core of the idea as a spec and then decades of history, culture, and practice crusted on top of it. hashes of chunks of data overlaid on top of the data itself to facilitate sharing it. that's it. i am a peer. i have heard of some data via its hash. i ask around for that data. i get it and check it against the hash. end of algorithm. Yes yes, choking algorithms, trackers, transport protocols, holepunching, but that's implementation details.</p><p>You can't think about P2P without taking some implicit or explicit disposition towards bittorrent because it's such a pure expression of the idea. An analogous argument is that you can't really implement a P2P protocol without accidentally making it in <em>some way</em> (maybe through a few steps) compatible with bittorrent. v2 makes that bar almost zero by just being literally a set of per-file merkle trees. you can just ignore the .torrent file entirely and deal with the trees directly, all you need to do is understand when someone asks for hashes at a specific level of the tree.</p><p>If i was designing a P2P protocol, which i always am in some part of my being, I would start from bittorrent v2 and branch out from there. Being able to talk to a bittorrent client is <em>so trivial</em> it's almost an afterthought, an afternoon of writing udp packing and unpacking functions. If you ignore the rest of the lessons like the obvious UX affordance of having a thing to trade around like .torrent files, magnet links which are an identifier and a non-definitive starting point for resolving it, trackers which are a means of coordinating the swarm, you're just throwing away an entire generation of practical experience</p>

INFERNUM1488<p>RetroShare is a free, cross-platform software for serverless communication, including letters, instant messages, and file exchanges over an encrypted F2F/P2P network. This network is built on GPG algorithms and the Perfect Forward Secrecy protocol.</p><p><a href="https://bastyon.com/post?s=5b8ca60211e5f0df4ed3316953990e2650f0881ace9ec7a0325327e5c33b6dbf&amp;ref=PFN2jQQL5PSwEdGP7h5T7JzkZMzeps98P2" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">bastyon.com/post?s=5b8ca60211e</span><span class="invisible">5f0df4ed3316953990e2650f0881ace9ec7a0325327e5c33b6dbf&amp;ref=PFN2jQQL5PSwEdGP7h5T7JzkZMzeps98P2</span></a></p><p>What is RetroShare?<br>RetroShare is part of the darknet class of networks, where connections and data exchanges are limited to a specific group of participants, excluding external contacts. In this network, participants' IP addresses are hidden from each other, except within a trusted circle.<br>Instead of using IP addresses for packet addressing, RetroShare employs a 128-bit random identifier—an anonymous ID. This makes it nearly impossible to determine the IP addresses of participants, even within a user's close network. In essence, monitoring file-sharing or communication activities is exceedingly difficult, and determining the number of participants in the dark network is non-trivial.<br>Key Features of Dark Networks<br>Dark networks like RetroShare share two important characteristics:<br>Difficult Monitoring: It's hard for external parties to monitor user activities, as they are not connected to the network.<br>Invisible Connectivity: It is impossible to know whether a user is connected to such a network from outside the immediate environment, making RetroShare hard to detect.<br>This distinguishes dark (private) anonymous networks from public anonymous networks, where participants' IP addresses can be observed directly or indirectly. Furthermore, connecting to an arbitrary node in RetroShare requires confirmation from the counterpart, which adds an extra layer of privacy.<br>A Simple Guide to Connecting to RetroShare<br>This article is for those who want to quickly connect to the RetroShare network without delving into the complexities of accessing it via Tor or I2P. Here's a simple guide to getting started with RetroShare:<br>Download and Install the Client Program<br>Visit the official RetroShare website: retroshare.net.<br>RetroShare is cross-platform, which means it supports various operating systems, including mobile ones! Linux users can build from source, but for simplicity, we’ll use an AppImage.<br>Set Up the Program<br>It's recommended to route all traffic through a VPN for added security. Leave it enabled for the duration of RetroShare’s usage. If you’re communicating only with trusted individuals (e.g., family), it’s not critical.<br>Download the AppImage here: RetroShare AppImage.<br>Make the file executable by right-clicking and enabling the "Allow execution of the file as a program" option.<br>Open a terminal and navigate to the file's location: /root/RetroShare-0.6.4.20180313.0e6d27ad-x86_64.AppImage.<br>RetroShare will launch, and a new profile creation window will appear. Before proceeding, click on “Options” in the top-right corner.<br>Configure Your Profile<br>Fill in the following fields:<br>Name<br>Device Name<br>Password (and confirm)<br>Chat Name<br>Encryption Key (be sure to set it to 4096 bits)<br>Node Settings (leave as default)<br>Entropy (wait until the bar is full)<br>Once done, click "Let’s Get Started." RetroShare will generate your certificate, which can be shared via closed channels or in person. You can then request and add the certificate of the person you're communicating with.<br>Network Settings<br>Before diving into the network, it’s essential to modify some default settings:<br>Expand the service data exchange channel and increase the number of tunnels available to other users.<br>Higher values mean you contribute more to the network by handling both your own and transit traffic from other users. The default is set for a 20 Mbit/s network speed, but you can increase it based on your actual connection speed.<br>Check the “Use relay servers” box if you have a restrictive router or firewall. This ensures easier access to the network.<br>Set the destination folder for downloaded files to avoid confusion later. By default, files are saved in a hidden directory like: /root/.retroshare/LOC06_c098e80721a7d1685271211cbe361c03/Downloads.<br>Finding Trusted Peers<br>If you don’t have friends using RetroShare but wish to join the dark network, finding trusted peers can be challenging. However, RetroShare now makes this process easier. You can find trusted peers in the built-in chat by exchanging certificates with other users or robots on websites like retroshare.ch.<br>Enter your certificate in the provided window, press "Submit," and obtain the server certificate. Copy it and add it to your RetroShare certificate list.<br>Connecting and Building Your Network<br>Once connected, RetroShare will notify you, and the first node will appear in your list.
