I’ve just added support for Iroh relay-model and made it the default for Rostra. This will make all communication go though Iroh relay, so no more exposing IPs to other users.

This can be disabled with --public command line argument which is useful when better bandwidth is desired and IP exposure is not an issue.

IP exposure is rarely an issue, but Rostra is trying to be as private by default as possible.

What if I told you can now share media files over Rostra:

And if you need to share some data, it works too: 5120 bytes of randomness

Note, the current instance is a tiny $5/mo VPS and underlying data model is not entirely ready to start sharing/streaming GB files (but in principle it is workable).

Happy new year DPC and anyone else hanging in here.

Rostra is almost 1 year old. I remember waiting for its release in early 2025 hah

I was just recently thinking that if I was him I would have spent quite a bit of resources figuring out and publishing every little detail of it. And whole year nothing? And given how much of a liar he turned out to be, it’s quite clear that it was all staged. The security wasn’t lame because they were trying. It was bad because it was staged. I couldn’t tell how exactly it was done, but my thoughts so far has aligned with what’s in the videos.

Joke on me. I admit I was a sucker. Happens.

I think I can say it here, because barely anyone is reading it.

Took me till now, when I’m over 40, to realize that I actually always liked NSYNC more than Backstreet Boys.

Probably the most interesting Panpsychism theory I’m aware of, and the author is a really interesting person: invented the self-aligned MOS (metal–oxide–semiconductor) silicon-gate technology, designed Intel 4004 processor, Intel 8008 and 8080, Zilog Z80, then founded Synaptics, Inc. has a beautiful Quantum Panpsychism/Idealism theory that I really dig.

I recently recorded some rumblings about web apps in Rust. A decent part of it is based on my experience working on Rostra.

BTW. I switched from htmx to alpine-ajax in Rostra. Please report any issues.
