«Librecast - Decentralisation and Privacy with Multicast»

Do any of you know this and use it? What is this good for and is it almost like the Gemini protocol?

Added another project (#librecast), now only one more to go and the roadmap is free for new projects:

GOD DAMN IT:

There's a bug in #multicast snooping that breaks neighbor discovery, and apparently #proxmox enables snooping by default on bridges... This is causing all my headaches! and it's an OLD bug from back in 2013 or more! #librecast @librecast

do you guys know anything about this?

Special shoutout to Librecast, a free open project designing a next generation internet using "multicast". This tech may help with privacy, human rights, decentralisation, energy efficiency and stopping spam.

Librecast has a main account at:

The project's accounts are run by Librecast's community manager @onepict who has a personal blog at @cobbles and is well worth following too.

Less than a week and we've got a minor point release for LCRQ.

Version 0.3.1 is now available from @Codeberg It's also already in @debian thanks to @vagrantc

https://lists.sr.ht/~librecast/librecast-announce/%[email protected]%3E

This was funded by #NGICore thanks to @NGIZero for funding these optimizations of our RaptorQ FEC Library!

#Librecast #lcrq

It's a new lcrq release with MOAR SPEED !

Version 0.3.0 is now available from @Codeberg

We have optimized lcrq for some of the AMD64 SIMD instruction sets which has achieved some large performance gains on some CPUs, especially those with
AVX512.

#Librecast #lcrq

A good day.

More optimizations for #Librecast lcrq (#RaptorQ ) including getting AVX512 to do something useful. This has been a lot of fun and I still think I can squeeze a bit more performance out of the encoder.

Alonso came to visit, and fell asleep on my lap while I was coding. 🐶 ⌨️

Had a short walk to do some scrumping, waddling back with pockets full of chestnuts, beech nuts and acorns and scattering them along our hedge area. We're trying to get some trees established around the field 🌳

How many active users does #librecast @librecast have?

AFAIK anoyone on ipv6 could join, listen & snoop any Multicast group. (maybe I'm wrong & misunderstood? please clarify)
So how to authenthicate Multicast group members, for friends only?
AFAIK that's usually done on App Layer (OSI 7th), and considering each recepient receives data encrypted with their unique GPG public key - rendering Multicast unusable in that context (?) (since traffic from sender to all peers is not equal, but unique per peer, basically no bandwidth difference from classic Unicast)
