Project mention: WebSockets vs. Server-Sent-Events vs. Long-Polling vs. WebRTC vs. WebTransport | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-20

Hello, I am author of https://github.com/centrifugal/centrifugo. Our users can choose from WebSocket, EventSource, WebTransport (experimental stabilize in the future). WebRTC is out of scope as the main purpose is central server based real-time json/binary messaging, and WebRTC makes things much more complex since it shines for peer-to-peer and rich media communications.

What I'd like to add is that Centrifugo also supports HTTP-streaming – not mentioned by the OP – but this is a transport which has advantages over Eventsource - like possibility to send POST body on initial request from web browser (with SSE you can not), it supports binary, and with Readable Streams browser API it's widely supported by modern browsers.

Another thing I'd like to mention about Centrifugo - it supports bidirectional WebSocket fallbacks with EventSource and HTTP-streaming, and does this without sticky sessions requirement. I guess nobody else have this at this point. See https://centrifugal.dev/blog/2022/07/19/centrifugo-v4-releas.... Which solves one more practical concern. Sticky sessions is an optimization in Centrifugo case, not a requirement.

If you are interested in topic, we also have a post about WebSocket scalability - https://centrifugal.dev/blog/2020/11/12/scaling-websocket - it covers some design decisions made in Centrifugo.

• ws

  14 5,950 5.9 Go

  Tiny WebSocket library for Go. (by gobwas)

Project mention: Websocket memory usage | /r/golang | 2023-05-24

Then take a look at this article - https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/million-websockets-and-go-cc58418460bb/ - using external from Go std lib epoll implementation and https://github.com/gobwas/ws lib it's possible to reduce memory usage per connection drastically. Though keep in mind that this approach is not obvious to implement right and you better to go with STD lib.

  Minimal and idiomatic WebSocket library for Go (by nhooyr)

Project mention: Possible frameworks/languages for a web/mobile application | /r/webdev | 2023-05-29

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

BTW, Centrifugo is based on https://github.com/centrifugal/centrifuge Go library which may provide much more control and flexibility for Gophers than a standalone server and can be embedded to any Go app leveraging all Centrifugo client SDKs.

  31 613 6.4 Go

  Cross-Platform memory reader for osu!

Project mention: Applications downloaded from Github won't open/run | /r/techsupport | 2023-07-12

So, lately, I have been trying to get some QOL applications from GitHub for Osu! They are applications that seem very safe and many other people are using them with no problem, just me. (The two Github applications here, and here) Whenever I download the one for my system and open the application, it won't open. If I run the program as an administrator nothing, run it in cmd? nothing. The only thing is if I type it into the search bar, the icon pops up in my taskbar but then goes away. I can't figure it out. I don't feel like I should reach out to the developers of these programs because it's happening with multiple different programs not just one. If anyone knows how I could get the programs to open, that would be greatly appreiciated!

Project mention: Bifrost: A peer-to-peer communications engine with pluggable transports | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-10-22

Disagree :) Having a `examples/` or `demo/` directory is already good enough, and this repository even has one of those too! https://github.com/aperturerobotics/bifrost/tree/master/exam...

One of the examples seems relatively easy to grasp if you're a web developer, about how to do HTTP forwarding: https://github.com/aperturerobotics/bifrost/blob/master/exam...
