Animats: Not to be confused with the Yggdrasil Linux distro.(Sometimes being first doesn't help.)[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yggdrasil_Linux/GNU/X
woleium: it’s been “new” fir as long as i have known about it, over 5 years or so? or is this a different thing?
OsrsNeedsf2P: Doesn't look that active either. It unfortunately seems like there isn't a great use case for these networks that will adopt usage through the hurdles
realreality: It's been working well for me as a kind of poor-man's tailscale, connecting several VPS and several laptops.
mitchbob: Earlier discussions:https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42155780https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42158609
mbirth: Or the yggdrasil daemon from Red Hat:https://github.com/RedHatInsights/yggdrasil
cestith: Yggdrasil was my first distro, but I was evaluating it and another one back to back. I ended up sticking with SLS until I got a RedHat Linux book with a CD in the back - at retail, in brick and mortar book store. The next couple were Caldera and Mandrake, this time in tidy cardboard boxes with multiple discs and multiple books each. I think I got those both at computer/electronics stores. The latency was high, but the bandwidth of driving home with 7 discs was hard to beat at the time.
postsantum: Thank you, Yggdrasil, for being just a compact routing scheme, not a semi-governmental military solution for implementing horrors beyond my comprehesion (they just love nordic or lotr names for that kind of things)
xeonmc: ootl: what's the deal with hereditary purists and authoritarians appropriating nordic symbolism as dogwhistles?
krapp: The Nazis were obsessed with a fictional occult quasi-mythology of the "Aryan" race that heavily appropriated Norse mythology and symbolism. The SS symbol was a pair of sun runes for instance. I think they appropriate Tolkien (who despised the Nazis and their corruption of "Germanic" ideals) because a lot of them are nerds who don't read too deeply into it, like how right-wingers and conservatives enjoy Star Trek while being completely oblivious to its progressive ideology.
postsantum: It's not hard to imagine what elf-rights were thinking of humans. Perhaps they even had a slur or two
krapp: Definitely for the dark elves.
Karrot_Kream: Does anyone run private services for themselves on Yggdrasil by allowlisting specific IPs and piggybacking on the routing layer? I've thought about doing this but haven't tried it.I wish TLS behaved better with private networks but I around certificates continues to mostly be oriented around the Internet.
infogulch: Is Yggdrasil still using raw truncated ed25519 keys to determine the treespace root node? [1] If so, this seems to be an obvious network availability vulnerability.
