Kiyeovo 1.0 release- dual network-mode decentralized E2EE P2P messenger
Kiyeovo is a decentralized, end-to-end encrypted messenger. It requires no accounts, no email, no central servers. Peers find each other and talk directly over libp2p. kad-DHT stores messages for offline peers and handles finding other users by their username/peerID. After almost a year of solo development, this is the first release. More details are in the repository README, but in short, here are the features: - realtime end-to-end encrypted messages - Direct & group video and audio calls with screen sharing options - messages securely persisted when the other side is not online -…
In plain words
Kiyeovo is a decentralized messenger that operates without accounts, email, or central servers. Users connect directly through libp2p with end-to-end encryption, and a distributed hash table stores messages for offline peers. It supports real-time messaging, direct and group calls with screen sharing, file transfers, and group chats. The software offers two modes: a standard fast mode for everyday use and an anonymous mode routed through Tor for enhanced privacy, though without calling features. It is designed for users seeking private communication without relying on traditional server infrastructure.

Kiyeovo is a decentralized, end-to-end encrypted messenger. It requires no accounts, no email, no central servers. Peers find each other and talk directly over libp2p. kad-DHT stores messages for offline peers and handles finding other users by their username/peerID. After almost a year of solo development, this is the first release. More details are in the repository README, but in short, here are the features: - realtime end-to-end encrypted messages - Direct & group video and audio calls with screen sharing options - messages securely persisted when the other side is not online - group chats, group calls - fast mode is for normal day-to-day use: lower latency, relays, audio/video calling - anonymous mode is for Tor-routed messaging. Better anonymity, but slower and no call support - encrypted file transfers - trusted profile import/export - identity backup - no central account or message server -> use trusted bootstrap/relay servers or self-host This is a single developer effort. It has not had a formal security audit so please don't rely on it where your safety depends on it. Feedback and bug reports are very welcome. P.S. The repo contains addresses of infrastructure nodes that I published, so for a quick start and no friction, you're free to use those. Try it out!

Hi HN, I built Eigendrum, a web tool that solves the 2D wave equation for arbitrary shapes so you can hear what they sound like as drums. How it works: * Solves -∇²u = λu using finite element analysis (Kφ = λMφ) on a triangle mesh. * Validated to <0.1% error against closed-form solutions for circles (Bessel zeros) and rectangles. * Sound model factors in strike location, Rayleigh damping, and mallet width. * Includes Kac drums I & II to demonstrate identical sound spectra from different geometries. * No frameworks, build steps, or dependencies. Repo and tests:…

I might be the only SRE on Earth with his own bowling center. It's a more in-depth gig than you'd think. My family and I bought an abandoned 8-lane bowling center in the rural mid-west. In our small town there weren't many recreation options for families. You've heard of a food desert? This is an R&R desert. It had been abandoned for a good reason. The roof leaks, the electrical system was constantly surging, and my 70-year-old bowling equipment (still) doesn't work perfectly. The system that keeps your score is particularly interesting to me. It's the thing you watch during your game, but…

Over the past few months, our team has been building more and more slidedecks using web frontend technologies with coding harnesses like Claude Code, but a common complaint is to make even small edits we need to edit the code either manually or via the harness. To avoid this loop, I ended up creating Bento, a single HTML file with everything you need in a slide tool including animations and shared editing. There's no install or cloud login, everything works offline. The default deck is around 560 KB and it doesn't need to fetch anything once you got it. Open it in a browser and then you can…

A few days ago I found myself trying out GLM 5.2 and was really positively impressed. The capabilities and security I was getting from this LLM are similar to those I've gotten from models like Claude or GPT, and this really surprised me. But then I thought, "I wonder how it would work on a normal computer like mine," and above all, "I wonder if it would work without going into OOM on a computer like mine." So I started working with the help of agents to test this possibility. I started converting the model to int4, understanding MTP usage, and if possible implementing DSA for long context.…
