inet256 VS rich

My approach to hosting with Got has been to make it easy and secure for users to host from any machine.

INET256 solves that problem nicely. If you have access to an INET256 network, then all you have to do is swap addresses and two Got instances can communicate.

Also, end-to-end encryption is table stakes. Any data that leaves the user needs to be encrypted in transit, and if it hangs around away from the user, at rest.

I'm working on INET256, an API for secure identity based networking. The reference implementation, mesh256 is a mesh network using a distributed routing algorithm. There is also diet256, which is a centrally coordinated network with direct connections using QUIC over The Internet.

Thanks for sharing RocketGit. This is the first time I've heard of it, and yes, it does look like a cool copyleft solution to self-hosted Git.

Another interesting option is Brendan Caroll's got[0], which allows sharing of repositories over INET256[1]. I'm sure there are other P2P approaches to Git, but this one just piqued my interest. Unfortunately it has a naming conflict with OpenBSD's Game of Trees[2].

I'm working on INET256, a 256 bit network address space for easily and securely connecting applications.

https://github.com/inet256/inet256

- The API is focused around sending and receiving messages to addresses derived from public keys.

- Each application can have its own stable address.

- Runs as a daemon process which is configured with peering information. Additional network nodes can be spawned through the API.

- Can easily support arbitrary routing algorithms through a well defined interface.

- A TUN device (similar to CJDNS or Yggdrasil) is included as a separate application. (The IP6 Portal)

Developers, applications, and end-users are under-served by the network layer. INET256 provides necessary features (stable addresses, encryption) to client applications, which usually have to reimplement those features themselves.

There is an interface for address discovery [1] (finding transport addresses for peers you know about) and autopeering [2] (peering with peers you didn't know about beforehand). There is an unfinished branch for LAN broadcast discovery/autopeering. Contributions are definitely welcome here.

I had played around with a STUN transport, but the easiest way to connect has been to stand up a cloud VM with a static IP.

INET256 addresses use the same public key serialization as TLS, but they intentionally avoid the rest of the certificate infrastructure complexity. They make great leaves in a web of trust. You can sign them, or stick them in DNS records. And if you don't want to deal with any of that, fine, just swap addresses and you can communicate securely.

> To me, this is the future. I wish we had a set of APIs to allow connecting to a public key instead of an IP address

INET256 is working on exactly that. It's a set of APIs for connecting to addresses derived from public keys.

There is an open issue [1] on GitHub to make it more modular and get rid of markdown and syntax highlighting but I have no hope for rich to get more minimal.

I hope he doesn't mind, but the creator of Rich and Textualize is a good guy, and Scottish: https://www.willmcgugan.com/about/

They keep getting improved error messaging and this is one of my favorite features. But I'd love if we could get some real rich text. Idk if anyone else uses rich, but it has infected all my programs now. Not just to print with colors, but because it makes debugging so much easier. Not just print(f"{var=}") but the handler[0,1]. Color is so important to these types of things and so is formatting. Plus, the progress bars are nice and have almost completely replaced tqdm for me[2]. They're just easier and prettier.

[2] Side note: does anyone know how to get these properly working when using DDP with pytorch? I get flickering when using this and I think it is actually down to a pytorch issue and how they're handling their loggers and flushing the screen. I know pytorch doesn't want to depend on rich, but hey, pip uses rich so why shouldn't everyone?

colors.crumb extends Crumb with basic terminal styling functions and RGB, HEX, ANSI conversion functions. It is in the realm of JavaScript's chalk and Python's rich but slightly more functional 😉.

I am working on a new python project and one of the first things I added was https://github.com/Textualize/rich because of how easy it is to make things look good in the terminal.

I am not rewriting anything but I'd love to have a library like `rich` in Rust: https://github.com/textualize/rich

Add some cool-looking stuff to your output with rich.

You might consider taking inspiration from the rich module. In particular, I like how rich supports inline color theming which seems much more cumbersome in your framework, requiring the use of context managers as well as familiarity with how your framework structures color objects. Other than that though, I'm impressed!

Today I released coBib 4.0, my console bibliography manager written in Python, which now uses rich and textual to provide a cohesive and modern user experience in both its CLI and TUI.
