I recently got nerdsniped by @zooko2.bsky.social
into implementing fast BLAKE3 hashing of multiple small blobs.

I wrote a blog post about my experiment.

iroh.computer/blog/hashing...

It would be cool to polish this a bit and turn it into a public API.

I'll be in Bucharest next week, talking about @iroh.computer and BLAKE3.

There will also be a rust workshop.

It's not production ready, but fundamentally it works. There will be at least 2 more installations of this blog post series, showing the algo and the tests.

It is probably worth mentioning that you can use irpc both to write RPC protocols to control iroh nodes, and also iroh protocols themselves, via the irpc-iroh crate.

The in memory version has almost zero overhead over what you would do anyway at an async boundary.

We spent a while really getting to know the 0-RTT API in QUIC, it was interesting!

rklaehn.bsky.social @rklaehn.bsky.social · May 27

Do you want to know how zero-rtt connections work in TLS and QUIC? Read our blog post about how to use zero-rtt in @iroh.computer

There is also a demo that you can try out to see the difference.

Malai

It helps you share your local HTTP server with the world — instantly and securely.

Built on top of the powerful iroh P2P stack, malai lets you expose your local development environment without deploying it to a public server or configuring firewalls and DNS.

This will share your local HTTP server running on http://localhost:3000 with the world via a secure, shareable URL.

The problem with engineers trying to do decentralisation is the temptation to treat everything that isn't cryptographically proven as meaningless. Down that path lies defeat.

Most governance comes down to some vague notion of trust and goodwill.

I'm now 0.34.1 versions old!
This is a minor release, but it comes with some fun stuff:
We (and many others) have been depending on forks of the rust BLAKE3 crate by @oconnor663.bsky.social.

This is no longer the case with its latest updates 🎉

If you want to send around big or small chunks of content-addressed data, iroh-blobs is there for you.

We've poured quite a bit of engineering work into making it fast!
Today, we're writing about how we designed blob storage especially on the Filesystem:

Blob store design challenges

It's just hashed data, what's so complex about a blob store anyway?

Every time someone builds something with me without telling the team developing me, they shed a tear (yes this is 💯% true).

Keep my devs from crying and tell us about the cool things you build!

We need to talk about deletes on bluesky, and how DAGs are the new OOP mind virus we need to shake off.

If you want to do deletes properly, m'skeets need to be represented as an array. They can (and should) still contain merkle backpointers, but sets are where it's at.
