In a new #podcast episode we talk to team members of @LibreQoS. The software helps ISPs fight #bufferbloat & distribute traffic fairly. In a lively conversation they talk about the vital importance of stable internet connections and their reasons for open sourcing LibreQoS: they hoped it would help a few small ISPs that bring internet access to under-served communities. But to their surprise LibreQoS has become very popular with deployments in 58 countries.

NGI Zero podcast · Equitable Internet Access for the Under-served - LibreQoSLibreQoS greatly improves the quality of experience of internet connections. It was born out of necessity during the COVID pandemic when massively increased internet usage resulted in intermittent package loss. Robert Chacón, CEO of LibreQoS and operator of a small ISP that provides internet to under-served communities, noticed how it affected his customers’ ability to work from home and do online learning. In response, LibreQoS was created to fight bufferbloat and latency issues by prioritizing interactive sessions like video calls over, say, downloading large files. In this episode we speak to Robert, Herbert Wolverson (Chief Product Officer), and Frantisek Borsik (Chief Operating Officer). They talk about how they open sourced LibreQoS in the hopes of helping other small ISPs who bring internet to the under-served, and their surprise at the rapid rise in popularity with deployments in 58 countries. They provide insight in the world of ISPs, and how stable internet connections aren’t just about good gaming experiences but can actually save lives. In loving memory of Dave Täht Sadly, Dave Täht passed away days after the recording of this episode. Dave was Chief Science Officer at LibreQoS and made fundamental contributions to FQ-CoDel, CAKE, and LibreQoS to improve the internet for everyone. He worked to make real-time communication available everywhere and insisted his code be free and open source so it would truly benefit everyone. He is remembered by many for who he was and the lives he touched with his work on his memorial page.

We're kicking off season 2 of the NGI Zero podcast with Armijn Hemel of DeviceCode. The electronics industry works differently than most people think. Behind the different brands and casings is often the same hardware, created by a single factory.
But security issue disclosure focuses on single devices, so vulnerabilities in similar devices go unnoticed.
DeviceCode uncovers the hidden patterns of the electronics industry to improve security.

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.

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.

"This project was a journey to own our software again", says Julien Malka / @luj in the NGI0 podcast. He and Camille Mondon / @kms have implemented Clevis in NixOS to make it possible to remotely reboot servers with full disk encryption. The project was extended to port the Proxmox Hypervisor on NixOS. In this episode they explain their project and talk about self-hosting as a way to empower people to own a little part of the internet.

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

going further than any of the others by providing bindings for 10 languages & a threshold variant. & in debian

thx #nlnet #ngi0 to enable this!
