@virtuous_sloth @evan I'm asking what exactly I'm #holepunching by #following that bot so that tags dot pub can scoop up those #delicious #hashtags since my server didn't seem to be picked up before via any of the means #outlined on tags.pub

@herrorange how?

Like I really wounder why...

Is it due to shitty #CGNAT at the #ISP end and #Skype doing aggresssive #HolePunching through any #NAT or some other #ISP-side shenanigans?

Our #iroh relay servers are so blind to the traffic that they don't even know when #p2p #holepunching has succeeded for two nodes. Yet people keep asking what our hole punching rate is.

Honestly, we don't know! And we don't know how to find out without violating everyone's privacy. How to square this circle?

Some users of private centralised deployments tell us it is better than anything else they tried, hence they switched. But we don't have numbers, and who believes a claim like that?

Not only that! But just #holepunching on its own is absolutely useless in practice. You need a protocol that creates a usable network.

Here’s a quick prerelease demo of what we’ve been working on. #p2p #offlinefirst #localfirst #nat-traversal #holepunching #crossplatform
