Some may be wondering what implications, if any, this has for @peergos. Even if all ipfs work, and infrastructure stopped today we would be unaffected as a protocol. We have our own minimal implementation, and these days we basically do HTTP over (jvm)libp2p + kademlia.

This was super fun, and found a bunch of rough UX edges in Peergos which are all fixed now.
Great fun this morning at the #JCrete hack day with @ianopolous.bsky.social, getting @radicle.dev + @peergos.org running side by side on #solar - powered hardware!

It is possible to have federation that keeps end users in control and doesn't allow 3rd party copying of your data without your consent. That's exactly what @peergos.org protocol does. There are of course tradeoffs but it is the right choice for user agency and democracy.

Hooray! Our first government contract for @peergos.org! EU governments are starting to realise what real digital sovereignty means. It means portable identity, portable data, and end-to-end encryption. Mass surveillance is not compatible with democracy.

I'm super excited about the upcoming drive mount for @peergos.org which lets you lazily mount your entire Peergos drive, with partial sync and offline writes. It also improves the webdav bridge so that uploads of files automatically skip identical chunks, and it supports Range based GETs and PUTs.

This is a good start, but is missing a critical part: private data and sharing. Without privacy there can be no democracy. The obvious solution there is @peergos.org and we'd love to be included.

Apple and Google are gradually expanding their use of hardware-based attestation. They're convincing a growing number of services to adopt it. Google's Play Integrity API and Apple's App Attest API are very similar. Apple brought it to the web via Privacy Pass, which Google intends on doing too.

Fix the incentives, fix the system. Don't be part of surveillance capitalism.
Yep! That's been our core principle working on @peergos.org since 2013 - it has to be easy for everyone to use. If people have to manage their keys then you've already failed. E2EE needs to be part of the foundation of the internet. Servers and hosts should be dump pipes, or they accumulate power.

It's a good day when I make resuming uploads of large directories 1000x faster in @peergos.org Next up, an even bigger speedup for resuming huge file uploads, simply by switching from a linear chunk scan to a batched binary search (should be ~5000x for resuming a 600GB file halfway).

We've been planning and working on this for over a decade in @peergos.org We already use hybrid PQ key exchange, so your data is already safe from exposure by a CRQC. We plan to use SLH-DSA for identity and am ML-DSA hybrid for writing spaces. We are already part way through the latter.
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.
