Peergos VS Reticulum

G'day mempko, I remember firestr! Very nice! You might remember around the same time (2013) I started Peergos. We're still working on it!

https://peergos.org

I'm looking for the same. Open source, self hosted, and end-to-end encrypted.

I haven't found anything that really does all of this, but it seems like Cryptpad[0] and Peergos[1] are viable platforms upon which something like this could be built.

Except for encryption, Atomic Data[2] seems like a really cool platform to build this on.

AWS SDK is huge yes, but you can implement an S3 client in 300 lines of Java.

Would love to hear your thoughts on Peergos - https://peergos.org

A good Dropbox alternative is Peergos (founder here). Peergos is an E2EE P2P storage, sharing and application protocol. Fully open source, including the server, self-hostable, no VCs.

You can do that with peergos [1]- mount a peergos folder locally using FUSE. Or login to the web interface and share easily and privately.

Meshtastic is fun but limited—more of a radio chat app than real mesh infrastructure. If you're serious about decentralized comms, check out Reticulum: https://reticulum.network

It’s not limited to LoRa—Reticulum works over IP, serial, packet radio, or whatever you have. Delay-tolerant, multi-hop, encrypted, no servers needed. Still lots of work to do and apps to build, but the foundation is solid.

Great talk from EH22: https://media.ccc.de/v/eh22-97-eggceptional-meshnetworking

Have you seen Reticulum[0] yet? How much overlap does the Mycoria networking layer have with it?

To me, the most promising such technology is reticulum[0]. I'm interested if someone knows of good alternatives

I've been checking out https://reticulum.network/ which does the same thing as meshtastic, but encrypted. Looks like it's in the early stages though.

And meybe integrated sound cable for baofeng/quansheng (K1<->USBA) USBA as powerbank and Packet radio or http://reticulum.network

I would very much recommend using https://reticulum.network/ instead (warning: rabbit hole)

I am struggling to understand who the overlap between people who can accurately assess the risk of each of these implementations and correctly find them ok (graduate level cryptography?) and people who cannot get pyca or openssl to compile is.

For offline operation maybe a case could be made that timing side channels aren't an issue in practice, but this is explicitly network software.

There is a similar thread up here on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41253922

The author of this blog post is the developer of Reticulum, which is a complete network stack and full-fledged alternative to TCP/IP. (https://reticulum.network/). Reticulum is capable of operating over not just LoRa, but bluetooth low energy, standard WiFi, Packet Radio, and overlay networks like Tor and I2P.
