...am on my phone with #veilid 0.4.6
As my family use whatsapp or face-time. And I occasionally use zoom... I have no contacts to talk to on this experimental messenger for those needing to mesh and fight the Pope and Emperor Sith Trump and his band of psychofantasists and assorted mal adjusts...
Please pass on my good wishes to the developers
POWER To The PEOPLE
To prepare for the "star wars' empire and allies" next move against this nice and friendly community? shouldn't we do a threat model based on attack scenarios of what could be (cyber)attacks against our masto communities: How to protect mastodon servers from being shutdown by third parties? How to secure them further? How to distribute them further? How to use tools like veilid, cwtch, spritely or even more commercial ones like storj to continue exchange the files and be capable to scale quickly up or move quickly from A to B in case of third Party disruption of URLs used by activitypub at CDN/DNS level? How to enhance comms so that they can resist specific targetting of specific information diffusion? How to make the new free social network resilient to any dictature controlling the internet communications (DNS, CDN,...) and using automated AI driven content scanning searching for forbidden words? How to secure its supply chain and ensure that the codebase cannot be suppressed from GAFAMs controlled code repositories?
Maybe some of the good questions for FOSDEM 2026, crypto/steganography communities and for beer discussions everywhere amongst EU and US liberty and democracy defenders?
How to protect freedom of speech and trustable secure communications for "we the people" in democracies and ensure they cannot be disrupted?
Time to show that hackers, cryptographers, real cypherpunks and strong techies of today can even do better than the old ones of the 1990s to defend their liberty to think, exchange and love in democracy respecting everyone. New generation, go for it and the oldsters, well support them with what you learned from life after all these years.
Windows devs, simple iinstructions for dev setup of Veilid on Windows here: https://veilid.gitlab.io/developer-book/apps/flutter-example/windows.html
Comments welcome. I'll add the VSCode instructions tomorrow. Almost done.
Bonus, we use VeilidChat as the starter project, so you can send from your laptop!
Storing your archives of the "science and technological fact based world" on a distributed censor resistant system.
Maybe these guys and their framework could help at one point in time. They need additional developpers to support new applications on their framework. If you love liberty, consider helping them to decentralize again the internet (as it was before).

How to make stigmerge work in termux (android)?
stigmerge error: Something went wrong
Error: unexpected fault: veilid: Internal: Android globals are not set up
#distrans will be changing its name to #stigmerge. This pull request explains more about why.
https://github.com/cmars/stigmerge/pull/238
You'll already see this change in latest main. Crates have been published but it's the same latest v0.3.19 otherwise.
0.4.0 is in development and will support trackers and simultaneous upload/download.
@arstechnica I think we need to move #great78project over to #reticulum or #Veilid
Hmm, distrans is pretty neat. More #Veilid stuff plz.
Updating my code to the latest version of #veilid
Hopefully the route instability stuff will be fixed now!
Windows devs: the getting started page is in final draft. Should be pushed soonish.
@cmars Thank you so much for creating distrans and helping build Veilid! I'm enjoying it so much!
EDIT: Done seeding for now! Hope everyone enjoyed this one; more shares coming soon!
Gonna keep this one on overnight and seeding for my Chooms! Enjoy!
distrans fetch VLD0:SbQiOHtmVRJxpUStrYyJuP_pQ2rEGpbglhWRMpYP5Ds
Grab distrans if you need it to fetch the file! https://github.com/cmars/distrans
And be sure to keep circulating the tapes!
Ok, I'll play. New distrans seed:
distrans fetch VLD0:NXR22kZljnKFcvr0D56_BZjiWgsNG90S8NPwi7uKPmM
Need to install distrans? https://github.com/cmars/distrans
@beardedtechguy Hopefully by then #veilid will be ready, and those who care will be able to take care of it themselves.
