DTLS is TLS encrypted, so I think you're talking about plain UDP as the transport? There are use cases for that, for sure, but more for protected content over WireGuard or DTLS (we support both 1.2 and 1.3).

I understand the concern. It can be a great convenience to not run the servers yourself, as people have been doing for decades with respect to websites, apps and APIs. That's essentially the same model, with the host terminating HTTPS

Your summary is about right, but the use case is simply not wanting to run always-on servers around the world (we have anycast IPs backed by handlers around the world). So it's convenience and scale first, and wanting to build with eve

Founder of Proxylity here. I'm happy to answer questions about how this works, why we built it, and where it is (and isn't) a good fit.

With all the man made EM emitters in the world, it seems like passively matching what can be “seen” to a database of known emitters (with signal profiles and locations) could be extremely accurate where people are (less helpful on the open

This kind of project is so much fun and a great learning exercise. While I respect the tongue-in-cheek proposition, we really would benefit from a wider understanding of network protocols. Doing an exercise like this is eye opening.

The Missoula Floods. This kind of thing has been happening for a good long time. That doesn’t diminish the tragedy in any way, this event was shocking and brutal. But it wasn’t the first and won’t be the last.

At first I thought this was a general purpose file system over R53, ala Corey Quinn. But my, what a gorgeously terrible idea. Well done.

I did a little stint studying thermal cyclic fatigue in multi-die packages (many years ago) and I'm wondering how the issues there are solved these days.

Take the fun up a level with the Waveshare ESP32-S3 AMOLED 2.09” watch. Power management is absolutely required, but it’s a fun platform. And for about the same price good display, peripherals and CPU. I’d like to see one with the C6 varian

FWIW, I have seen a couple phone apps using react native and sending directly to backends using a socket. Seems to avoid some overhead but I don’t have first hand experience with the client side.

I can’t help but think of how AWS didn’t go through with killing CodeCommit and how happy that user base is to not be on GitHub.

I don't understand the "ignoring interesting stuff" bit. I read what's interesting, sometimes finding it by titles but more often by noticing a string of interesting comments on my little desktop display: https:/&#

I don't use any code from others here, it's a ground-up implementation of the protocol in C# targeting .Net 10 AoT.

> both endpoints would need the keys and private IP/subnet addresses of their peers in order to communicate. That’s how every other implementation works. It’s not a requirement of the protocol though, and that inspired this tweak in

How is this making it more complicated? The “why” is pretty simple: the WireGuard protocol is really nice and makes a better protection layer than DTLS in my opinion. All this implementation does that is different is make hosting public ser

Well, here are a couple things to do with this: I have a fleet of small battery powered temperature sensors that send readings to a backend built with it. On the sensors, I’m using the vanilla WireGuard-ESP library to connect over Wi-Fi to

Indeed. That's how the WireGuard handshake works, partly to avoid abuse/spam.

Because then it would be DTLS.

by mlhpdx 1mo ago
That's not the case at all. The security here is more like HTTPS/TLS with the client not really being validated (just the server). The encryption remains just as strong as if the peers we're locked down. It's different

by mlhpdx 1mo ago
The confusion is understandable. Fundamentally, all that's going on is that UDP Gateway is performing the NOISE_IK handshake and ChaCha20-Poly1305 encryption to establish a tunnel. It does nothing with the encapsulated traffic other t

I’m working on a sailing watch system for clubs and teams without the resources for existing systems (thousands of dollars per boat). I’m starting with the Waveshare ESP-32 watch. It has a great price tag and features, and an impossibly sma

There is a lot of truth here, but it clearly isn't a welcome one. From my own perspective I can look back on decades of software I've written (some including code generation far before LLMs), and marvel at the quality and creativi

Fewer people means fewer cars, and I’m confident the auto company leaders know this very well. But what to do? Don’t build factory capacity and manifest decline? Not likely. They’re betting success will find a way and those factories will b
