There is also github.com/n0-computer/iroh-wi which is under construction and based on the #Willow protocol. This is also a foundational #p2p technology, which received funding by @nlnet under the EU Horizons #NGI0 programs, to evolve their specifications.

Willow contains among others a specification for support of object capabilities, called Meadowcap, which is very interesting.

We are happy to announce that 56 teams and individuals will receive funding to support their work on improving the core technologies of the internet.

We'd like to congratulate them and thank them for making the internet better for us all.

Come and take a look at the projects to see the marvellous work being done to upgrade the open internet architecture.

The Flow Battery Research Collective (FBRC) are building an open source battery. Technology writer Koen Vervloesem did a nice write-up about their #FOSDEM talk in the Energy devroom. FBRC works on redox flow batteries which are better suited for long-term, stationary storage and less hazardous than Li-ion batteries. FBRC plan to democratize flow battery technology by developing an open source flow battery, starting with a development kit.

i just released v1.0 of libopaque: github.com/stef/libopaque/rele

7 years after the initial commit. being honored to be a target by the seminal "partitioning oracles" paper (and resisting the attack, through defense-in-depth, and fixing the root cause before publication of the paper), and five years after the IRTF/CFRG started an RFC datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft

thx #nlnet #ngi0 to enable this!
