Unravelling security in peer-for-peer networks: Aljoscha, the hidden gem of the Willow project, developed with @gwil@post.lurk.org 🌸
S01:E09
Known as a well kept secret and hidden pearl of the P2P scene in Europe, Aljoscha makes a rare appearance in this podcast and brings us into his mind and the theoretical computer science of P2P data structures.
As someone who can relate to Lockharts Lament and in the pursuit of beautiful solutions, Aljoscha found an idea which could be improved on, and in turn presented the solution of Range Based Set Reconciliation, although he prefers a less formal description than the published paper.
As one of the two main developers of Willow, Aljoscha, together with Sammy, keeps a dev-diary filled with music and illustrations.
Willow is created by Sammy and Aljoscha and stems from Earthstar which in turn comes from Scuttlebutt as the late Cinnamon’s re-imagining of Dominic Tarr’s idea 🐌🌱✨
