substack but to verify a signature you need to download the public key and run some openssl command probably
substack but what is the threat model you're concerned about?
nettle but it seems that ed25519 prehashes its signature input anyways
nettle situation is sending android APKs p2p between phones, which are always signed
nettle so i'm trying to determine if a hash is even necessary for the verification phase
bencevans benjamink152: > Dat makes no attempt to hide IP addresses. ref: 3rd paragraph under Discovery Keys @ https://datprotocol.github.io/how-dat-works/ I think Beaker has moved to using Hyperdrive but from my understanding the networking hasn't changed in terms of sharing IPs as the sharing is required to establish connections with others peering the

substack if anyone wants to try, i'm sending a jpg of my cat tux: hyperbeam tux > tux.jpg
decentral1se ill get on that
decentral1se https://github.com/mafintosh/hyperbeam#cli
decentral1se rad cat, success
decentral1se beamed to the netherlands
substack yay
substack i used that photo a lot to debug my ntsc encoder/decoder
substack because it has good variety of colors
decentral1se nice
decentral1se thats cool! yeah it is a nice constructive critique, i like the work https://www.openprivacy.ca do
fleeky loving all these small utilities :)
I am new at this sorry if this might not sound like a real issue... I am trying to learn about p2p technology
Is there plan to build a go based implementation for the dat project?
Hey all! I'm looking for way for my app fromscratch.rocks (currently a flat-file text editor) to offer real time multi-device syncing while encrypting the text, ideally in such a way that I don't need to care about users or are responsible for any data. I think DAT can help me with that (via y.js) but I'm having trouble finding some practical "what can it do" stuff. I assume I can get this to work with two peers that are both online and get them to sync, but can DAT make the data available when the other peer is offline. Can I set up a "discovery" server that replicates data or whatever?
@samrose - I'm looking into similar use cases. It seems dat is built on top of hyperdrive which itself is built on hypercore - so to me it would be useful to visualize the capabilities at each layer to determine where/how to add metadata. To my understanding dat doesn't care about the files themselves so you'd need to have a different place to store metadata although it's not clear to me at the moment where would be best.
High level documentation (like OSI layers) of how dat protocol, hypercore, hyperdrive, and etc. interrelate would be extremely useful to implementation
baffo32 hey #dat . a while ago i developed https://github.com/xloem/openrecord , a tool which uses dat to provide for piping and sharing unending binary streams.
baffo32 i had trouble maintaining this tool because i wanted to use the dat structures in ways the api didn't provide yet, and it was hard to get features accepted, and the backend kept changing underneath me
baffo32 it seems like it would make sense to work closer with you guys moving forward. it would be nice if eventually it functioned again. it would be really good for handling e.g. server logs. is there a mailing list or anything to work with? is hyperdb still the backend to us?
@mmpleake there are these 'tags' are they appropriate for adding categorical data about files? https://github.com/hypercore-protocol/hyperdrive#drivecreatetagname-version-cb
substack an early early version used rabin fingerprints but that feature was dropped long ago for perf reasons
substack however you can layer on rabin fingerprinting yourself in your application
