RAD, Radicle

Last week in Berlin we had a team offsite, hosted a community gathering (Radicle Sync #1), & attended @localfirstconf. The primary topics discussed were multi-device support for Radicle identities & protocol priorities. Thanks for joining rad sync #1 👾 Photos below 👇

The Radicle team is in Berlin this week, attending @localfirstconf. But tonight, we are hosting Radicle Sync #1, a casual community gathering with drinks and small bites. The space is small, so please RSVP: lu.ma/h5dkl52e See you this evening 👀

Next Wednesday on May 29th, we are organizing Radicle Sync #1, a casual community gathering in Berlin. Join us over drinks and let's chat local-first peer-to-peer. There's limited capacity as it's a small space, so please RSVP: lu.ma/h5dkl52e Free your code 👾👾👾

The Radicle team will be attending @localfirstconf in Berlin this month. Come say hi🖖🏻 We are also hosting a small community gathering around the same time. More details soon.

Over the last few years, Radicle has primarily maintained a social presence here on Twitter. Now that we are in Radicle 1.0's release candidate phase, we have expanded to other realms with technical ideals closer to our own, such as decentralization, censorship-resistance, and data sovereignty.

2/ .onion addresses also help with NAT traversal, allowing peers behind NATs 💻 to connect directly to each other. Peers using Tor can collaborate on private repositories without requiring an intermediary seed node!

3/ Radicle 💜 @torproject We have been anticipating Radicle's compatibility with Tor since we upgraded the wire protocol from UDP to TCP last year, in collaboration with @dr_orlovsky from @cyphernet_io.

4/ Since the initial Radicle 1.0 release candidate last month, a few nudged us about Tor, including @DarkFiSquad and Shawn Webb from @HardenedBSD, a security-enhanced fork of FreeBSD. Shawn was the first to clone a Radicle repository through Tor. We thank him for his support 🙌

5/ Transparent proxies allow .onion addresses to be used as regular DNS names that are routed through the Tor network. See git.hardenedbsd.org/shawn.we… for an example home setup.
