Public Release of cryptic-net
:party_passed_out:
It's been quite a while since my last post regarding cryptic-net. In that last post I was discussing, and gearing up to implement, a network filesystem for cryptic-net to use. And then, literally one week later, this post hit the floor. Someone implemented the cryptic filesystem for me!
my last post regarding cryptic-net
Actually, it was a couple of someones who implemented it, and they did it with funding and vision and amazing ability. Since that post hit I've been trying out garage a *ton* and have yet to be disappointed with any aspect of it. It's honestly a miracle that it exists.
In the months since I've been hammering away at cryptic-net, fitting garage into it by hook or by crook. There's been a couple of points where I've wanted to post about the progress, but decided to hold off until I had something to show for it. The main blocker was that there was still network configuration in the cryptic-net repo itself, because that configuration wasn't yet being hosted by garage. But putting that data in garage created a bit of a chicken and an egg problem, because that data was needed to *connect to garage in the first place*.
I've solved the chicken and the egg problem (or at least deferred it, since it's now instead not possible to create a *new* cryptic-net network, but we'll get there). All configuration and secrets have been removed from cryptic-net, and the code is now open source! I won't say much about it, the repo is (I hope) largely self-explanatory. Consider this the mic-drop post.
Time to go spend some time not working on this for a while.
