tcpauth VS Pion WebRTC

Also became a fun learning experience about terminals.

I wanted to use GMail from a fast cli that used the native gmail API.

https://github.com/ThomasHabets/rslurp

I wanted to download concurrently and according to patterns. Ok, so honestly this one probably exists somewhere in a form that I would like, but I couldn't find it.

https://github.com/ThomasHabets/sim

I wanted multi-party authorization for sudo, and couldn't find one.

People kept using gettimeofday, so this is part of my compaign against it. (see https://blog.habets.se/2010/09/gettimeofday-should-never-be-...)

https://github.com/ThomasHabets/gtping

I worked in mobile core networks, and wanted a "ping" that used the GTP protocol since that won't be firewalled.

https://github.com/ThomasHabets/ind

I wanted my bash scripts to have automatic indentation, while not sacrificing buffering latency and such.

https://github.com/ThomasHabets/tlscheck

I wanted a simple tool to audit my TLS certificates for expiry.

I was travelling to China on vacation and wanted a VPN out that would be unlikely to be blocked by the great firewall. Ok, so there are many VPN-like tools for getting through the GFW. Maybe it was just an excuse for me to write it. Honestly ssh -D would have likely worked just fine. It's being used by the keymaster project now though, so maybe it did something right: https://github.com/Cloud-Foundations/keymaster/blob/master/d...

https://github.com/google/tcpauth

I wanted to lock down SSH to anyone who doesn't have a secret key (and portknocking is usually ridiculous). Why not use TCP MD5 for it? https://github.com/google/tcpauth

I am really excited about https://github.com/sepfy/libpeer. It has examples ready for ESP32 etc....

When working on KVS I wasn't familiar with the embedded space at all. I saw 'heavyweight' embedded where you were running on Linux. Then you had RTOS/No OS at all. I wasn't prepared for these devices at all. If we can make WebRTC work in the embedded space I think it will really accelerate what developers are able to build!

Remotely driven cars, security cameras, robots in hospitals that bring iPads to infectious patients etc... Creative people are building amazing things. The WebRTC/video space needs to work harder and support them :)

I love how diverse the WebRTC space is now. Outside of this implementation you have plenty of other options!

I have worked four jobs related to https://github.com/pion/webrtc and one for https://webrtcforthecurious.com

Two companies used Pion. The other two were just using the protocol (WebRTC)

In my experience Go has been relatively approachable for people that are good at PHP. It has a great standard library and a pretty solid ecosystem, though frameworks aren’t as popular in Go. There are some well regarded libraries for things like WebRTC via https://github.com/pion/webrtc WebSicket via https://github.com/nhooyr/websocket

Don't try to make RTC yourself, it looks easy, but in fact, it's a really hard problem to solve. Use https://pion.ly/ it's a pretty solid package they also have a discord/slack channel with a lot of helpful people there.

Maybe you can reuse some of this code: https://github.com/pion/webrtc/blob/master/examples/data-channels/main.go
