#yggdrasil

1 post1 participant0 posts today

On était au festival Yggdrasil à Lyon ce week-end, c'était trop bien. Plein de gens costumés, des chants, des danses, des bonnes choses à manger, et du bel artisanat. Vraiment top ! Mention spéciale pour le Balrog qui dominait l'entrée. On a pu croiser Gaëa et Judge Dead des Noobs, c'était trop cool 😊. On y a aussi vu le doubleur français de Jim Carrey et Matthew Perry, Emmanuel Curtil.

A friend of mine is developing a graphical manager for Yggdrasil (yggdrasil-network.github.io/) called Yggtray:
github.com/the-nexi/yggtray

Yggtray runs in the background and is accessible through the system tray. Currently it allows the user to start/stop the daemon and check its current status. Also it shows the node IP address and allows to copy it.

Some ideas for the future development are listed in the project issues on GitHub. Contributions are welcome!

Yggdrasil NetworkYggdrasil NetworkEnd-to-end encrypted IPv6 networking to connect worlds

**Yggdrasil Project: The Mesh Network That Could**
The Yggdrasil Network project is a unique initiative aimed at creating a global decentralized mesh network that ensures privacy, security, and accessibility in communications. Built on principles of self-organization and autonomy, Yggdrasil offers an approach to network communications that operates without centralized servers or a central point of control.
History of the Project
Yggdrasil Network began as an experiment launched by decentralized network enthusiasts in 2017. The project aimed to prove the feasibility of creating a network where each node is not only part of the system but also helps it grow. The project's name is derived from Norse mythology, where Yggdrasil is the world tree connecting different realms.
Operating Principles
**IPv6 Addressing:** Yggdrasil uses automatic generation of unique IPv6 addresses for each node, simplifying routing.
**Graph-Based Routing:** Instead of traditional IP routing, the network relies on a graph structure where the path to a node is determined by its position within the tree.
**Encryption:** All traffic within the network is encrypted, ensuring a high level of privacy and security.
**Autonomous Nodes:** Each participant in the network is an independent node capable of functioning without reliance on others.
Advantages of Yggdrasil
**Decentralization:** The absence of a single point of failure makes the network resilient to attacks.
**Ease of Connection:** Participating in the network requires minimal configuration; simply running the client is sufficient.
**Flexibility:** Yggdrasil can operate over existing networks such as Wi-Fi, Ethernet, or even the Internet.
**Privacy:** Encrypted traffic and the lack of centralized control guarantee confidentiality.
Applications
**Local Networks:** Ideal for building autonomous networks in isolated regions.
**Backup Communications:** Useful in emergency situations when traditional networks are unavailable.
**Technological Experiments:** Suitable for testing new solutions in routing and network security.
Challenges and Issues
**Performance:** Due to encryption and graph-based routing, data transmission speeds may be slower than in traditional networks.
**Adoption:** The limited number of participants reduces the potential for global reach.
**User Interface:** The client interface still requires improvements to cater to mainstream users.
Current Status
Today, Yggdrasil continues to evolve, supported by a community of enthusiasts. Recent updates include enhancements to routing, support for new platforms, and improved compatibility with other mesh networks.
The Yggdrasil project demonstrates that the future of communications can be built on decentralization and collaboration rather than centralized structures. It is a mesh network that has proven itself to be more than just an experiment.

The next Marvel TV series:

Loki, having now existed for untold ages as the living, omni-dimensional embodiment of Yggdrasil, is becoming emotionally distant from the concerns of mortals in the timelines under his control, carelessly allowing vast calamities to unfold.
And somehow it falls to Squirrel Girl to make the transcendent journey and rekindle his care and focus.

Idle thought:

Is it possible to run Wireguard over Yggdrasil overlay network?

That might allow a mesh experience closer to Tailscale, but with no outside centralised components.

Yggdrasil is a public network, Wireguard is private. Yggdrasil gives a consistent IPv6 address (even over IPv4), Wireguard ensures known entities have access to services. Firewall Yggdrasil interface to only allow Wireguard connections (might not be possible on mobile though).

@rooster I've used a few distributions in my time, having started with Red Hat in 1996 and migrated over to Slackware.

Python stuff: the best support I've seen so far for #Python has been in #Gentoo. You can have multiple Python interpreters installed side-by-side (including pypy), when you install a Python module that's packaged as a Gentoo package, it will install that module for each interpreter you have installed.

I've not seen that in other distributions. That said, maintenance can be cumbersome.

That said, the permutations and combinations of compiler toolchain and libraries can give rise to C++ headaches. Some upstream projects refuse to support Gentoo.

@esther suggested FreeBSD… the BSD space in general is worthy of a look. Very good (NOT Linux-based) operating systems with a long history. There's also #NetBSD (focussed on portability), #OpenBSD (NetBSD fork focussed on security), #DragonFlyBSD (FreeBSD fork, not tried it).

Lots have suggested #Debian -- a fine choice if you have a regular desktop computer and don't want to spend your day compiling. Widely supported and understood.

I won't comment on #Fedora: my memories of it were circa 2004 or so.

I did try #CentOS in a VM (actually needed it because Tridium's development environment requires it), and found it a very bloated OS.

#Ubuntu isn't bad if you need hand-holding, but I do find it too is a very "heavy" OS, even with a lightweight desktop. Quite pre-occupied with "snap" packages. I use it at work because that's the company standard (with the FVWM desktop, which confuses colleagues no end).

Won't comment on #OpenSuSE -- I do recall using #SuSE Linux years ago, and it too, was a very "big" OS, but once again, we're talking 20 years ago or more.

#Slackware is still kicking, probably the longest-running Linux distribution there is. (The one that came before it was #Yggdrasil) Lightweight, but be prepared for it to emulate Linux From Scratch when something you want isn't shipped in the packages.

Speaking of which, #LinuxFromScratch is an option if you're a masochist. 🙂 If you think Gentoo is hard, this is a LOT of work! You are the package manager, and software repo!

If you want small, and binary compatibility isn't an issue, #AlpineLinux is worthy of a look. Gentoo-ish feel (with OpenRC), but binary packages. A VM can be installed in 50MB!

If you really want small for an embedded project, #BuildRoot is worth a look.

I've heard good things about #ArchLinux but never tried it, so can't comment further.

That was a long post, but hopefully that gives you some ideas. 🙂

My #Linux lineage goes like this. and in this order.

1. #Yggdrasil
2. #Slackware
3. #RedHat (Before RHEL)
4. #Debian
5. #Ubuntu
6. #linuxmint Mint
7. #Artegos
8. #archlinux
9. Linux Mint (again)
10. #Fedora

Now I have run other systems as testers, but this is the order in which I ran daily drivers. On the server side it is a little different, mostly debian and RHEL/Centos/Rocky
I've been using Linux since about 1992ish (that's as far as I can remember) What's your lineage?

Доброго времени суток всем. Настали совсем тяжелые времена для нашего творчества в связи с признанием #lgbt экстремисткой организацией в рф. Для тех кто опасается писать на нашем инстансе, хотел бы прояснить пару моментов.

Наш инстанс не подчиняется законам РФ, мы хостимся у европейского хостера и подчиняемся только законам ЕС.

Мы ни при каких обстоятельствах не предоставим никаких данных о наших пользователях если вы их явно сами не укажете в своих профилях.

Наш инстанс так же доступен по ip адресу из сети #yggdrasil

Расскажите о существовании нашего инстанса своим друзьям которые сидят в телеграм и других централизованных соцсетях.

My first #introduction, after 3 years on the fediverse 😅 Hi !

I'm a computer science #student with a strong interest for #privacy, #security and #minimalism.

Warning: I'm a free software advocate. #gnu #linux #debian #lineageos #fdroid

I like to keep my systems minimal and efficient ( #sway, #foot, #neovim, #alpinelinux) but I'm also fascinated by awesome complex technologies such as #monero, #tor, #yggdrasil, #bittorrent, #rust, #simplexchat, #shufflecake and others.

On my free time I develop #DroidFS, a file system #encryption app for #Android, and #TorVirt, a tool that routes VMs network traffic to a Tor gateway #podman #container.

I work as a #freelance personal privacy consultant and software #developer. I'm actively looking for new clients! Check my website if you're interested.

I like talking with people. Feel free to message me about anything!

Oh... and my kink is @unixporn
