I wasn't quite sure if this qualified as "Show HN" given you can't really download it and try it out. However, dang said[0]: > If it's hardware or something that's not so easy to try out over the internet, find a different way to show how it actually works—a video, for example, or a detailed post with photos. Hopefully I did that? Additionally, I've put code and a detailed guide for the netboot computer management setup on GitHub: https://github.com/kentonv/lanparty Anyway, if this shouldn't have been Show HN, I apologize!

Hey HN! I just released weron, a P2P VPN that uses WebRTC for transport which I've been working on for the last couple of months. It can create both layer 2/Ethernet and layer 3/IP overlay networks, and the underlying transport layer can be easily embedded to write your own P2P apps with Go. Compared to for example Tailscale, WireGuard and ZeroTier, its much harder to block on a network level and also significantly easier to set up, while not sacrifing much performance. I'd love to get your feedback :)

Hi HN, This is a site where users can submit content and the shortest SHA256 value of nonce+content among them will make the site display the content. Very basic, without a blockchain. It's a static site with WebRTC and peer-to-peer. Why? I wanted r/place (Reddit canvas where users collaborate on a pixel grid), but with proof of work. This is my progress so far. It's a WebRTC app with peer to peer connectivity that forwards the best hashed values to other users, which verify them, display them and pass them on. There are many many improvements to be done (especially I should probably…

I spent six years trying to build a tv channel server. rewrote it eight times. flask, fastapi, ffmpeg, gstreamer, named pipes. every version got more complicated and none of them worked right. turns out I was building the wrong thing. the thing I actually wanted was a protocol. so tltv is that. a channel is an ed25519 key pair. you sign your metadata with it. you serve hls video from wherever you want. your public key becomes a tltv:// address that anyone can tune into. relay nodes can re-serve your stream but they can't modify it. they verify signatures on everything. you can move…
