noq, noq, who’s there? – Iroh

✨ Discover this trending post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: 📌 **What You’ll Learn**: Today we're delighted to announce noq (”number 0 QUIC”), our own general purpose QUIC implementation with multipath and NAT traversal support. It is the transport layer that has been powering iroh since v0.96, though is in no way limited to iroh's usecase. If you've been following iroh's development, you may have read why we forked Quinn back in 2024.

🚀 Discover this trending post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: 📌 **What You’ll Learn**: I wanted to provide an update on the situation with OpenTTD on Steam and GOG, and what the Atari re-release of Transport Tycoon Deluxe means for OpenTTD.

Atari approached us to explain their plans for the…

Consensus Board Game

🚀 Check out this awesome post from Hacker News 📖 📂 **Category**: 💡 **What You’ll Learn**: I have an early adulthood trauma from struggling to understand consensus amidst a myriad of poor explanations.
