Extended the TLS security module in libp2p(-py) to fetch CA authorized TLS certificates using the libp2p Auto-TLS client specification, rather than using self-signed ones. This will enable protocol execution via web-transport and browsers for libp2p(-py). PR: https://github.com/libp2p/py-libp2p/pull/1072
Ran into an issue while building my experimental p2p stack in Rust – multiple parts of the code wanted &mut TcpStream. Turned out the design was improper. What worked for me was creating a single IO task owning the socket, with everything else communication via mpsc. Cleaner ownership, fewer borrow issues, and easier to reason about.
Bought a Raspberry PI 5. Planning to do some networking experiments and small infrstructure setups.
Started writing an experimental p2p stack, rnet inspired from libp2p specs, to dig deeper into rust and core p2p mechanics.
Attended an IRL hackathon in New Delhi. Built a p2p federated learning platform using libp2p(-py), Akave-O3 and Hedera hashgraph. Won the Filecoin/Akave track at ETHNewDelhi'25.
Got selected for Protocol Labs Dev Guild. Excited to go deeper into p2p infrascture and libp2p ecosystem.
Found a great document to learn about firewall management and iptables in deep.
Built a VPN gateway using Wireguard, Docker and a nginx server, restricting the server access to only allow wireguard-client IP addresses by modifying the firefall rules for the docker network. It was fun, wrote a blog about this.
First working with AI agents, built a loyalty platform on NEAR blockchain by using Near AI-agent kit for agent driven user interaction, and smart contract execution. Had fun.
Participated in a hackathon over the weekend. Built a cool event hosting platform on Vara blockchain. Won a 1st prize in the beginner track. Getting more comfortable working under tight constraints.
