A few things motivate this:

* raw UDP packets can get lost in transmission. Which means no holepunch 4 u. QUIC gets us ACK’d packets.
* encryption is a good thing.

More stuff Iroh does so you don’t have to.

Did you know that we like QUIC?

We like it so much we're replacing our use of STUN over UDP with QUIC address discovery!

We've contributed an implementation of that standard to the quinn #rust library, and are now using it.

As a bonus, this blog post goes into some details on why we even need things like STUN/QUIC address discovery.

It's a great read even just for the hole-punching knowledge you gain along the way! (Also goes great together with the QUIC multipath blog post www.iroh.computer/blog/iroh-on...)

We're trying to have the best backtraces and error handling in the #rust library ecosystem.

We've landed on snafu and our own companion crate n0-snafu.

And we wrote about that!

framing messages is the basis for many/most protocols in @iroh.computer and many other transports, learn the basics today with @b5.bsky.social www.iroh.computer/blog/message...

We want you to build protocols!

For that, you need to know about message framing.

Conveniently, we produced a video about doing this in #rust on top of #QUIC with iroh :)

I'm thoroughly enjoying my breaking 0.9x releases ahead of 1.0 😁
This time: A new relay protocol!
But: This gives me a better handshake 🤝, some future optimization potential 🚀 and removes non-WebSocket code paths 🔥

PS: Even if you don't use the local transport for IRPC, a look at this might be good!

There's lots of folks using this so they don't have to fiddle with encoding/decoding networking messages or dealing with byte streams in iroh.

Instead, you just have request/response structs and send them around.

The actor pattern works really well in #async #rust.
What if you could take your actors and take them over the network? Sometimes. If you want to.

This has been a pattern we (the iroh team) used for some CLIs and networked tools. And now we wrote about a crate we use to do that: IRPC! ("iroh RPC")

A lightweight rpc crate for iroh protocols

This is folks from www.symplasma.org working on this.

Screenshot of two instances of "beelay-chat" showing "ConnectionType Direct" on each and a message on one side saying "Hello Tauri, Automerge Kehive/Beelay and iroh!" as well as a reply on the other side saying "Hello everyone :)" in a basic chat interface.

We gotta give them extra points for really pushing iroh to its limits by pushing many terrabytes of data through iroh-blobs 👀

Screenshot of a stylized dashboard showing the current training progress on the nous-consilience-40b model with a description "A 40B dense DeepSeek-style LLM". It says "900,835,079,084 tokens trained" with some more stats and a table of addresses and their contribution percentages in another pane on the left.
