I see P2P working 80%+ of the time for my deployments. Other people have posted data about this also https://medium.com/the-making-of-appear-in/the-most-likely-t...

P2P is better then TURN/Iroh Relay. Even if traffic is encrypted the size of what you are passing through is valuable metadata. Or the time at what you send things. P2P is always better for users.

I chose the name because of the particle.

I sent a letter to the Soviet Union asking if they were ok with me using the name, never heard back!

DTLS 1.3 has quite a few cool features/upgrades. Wrote some down so you can see the cool stuff coming your way. Also a few notes on stuff that was surprising or frustrating while building it.

If you get a chance to try it out would love to hear your thoughts! Should be available soon in pion/dtls@v4 :)

We would love your help on Pion WebRTC!

What motivates you, certain topics or building things in a certain area? what are you most interested in?

Here is another thing I find frustrating, but I don't know the right way to express it. A lot of this AI tooling/coding seems self-indulgent? 'I built a better software factory!'. The tools are very powerful, but I don't see the results yet. The frustration outweighs results.

I am underwater dealing with it. I am getting outlandish PRs against Pion. So I spend my time triaging and feel burned out. The 'AI future' I was expecting would be people swooping in and clearing up the backlog in high quality ways.

Instead I get people trying to add new APIs when it can already be done with existing APIs and then arguing about it with me.

I personally used to enjoy the challenge of it. I enjoyed the craftmanship. I am so glad I got to enjoy the challenge of implementing IETF specs and the debugging interop etc... it's so sad to me now that people just bruteforce all this with agents.

I wonder how carpenters felt when powertools started taking off?

This is fantastic! I have wanted something like this for years.

When people are learning WebRTC they are really confused by the Offer/Answer. You have this big blob of text and no idea what it actually does. You look up values one-by-one and forget as you go. its annoying

Excited that the next generation learning WebRTC (for VoiceAI) has better tools.

Fantastic work on this. This idea has so much promise, I hope this is the project that makes it take off.

Self-hosting is pretty these days with docker. Exposing it to the internet is the annoying part. I do Jellyfin via netbird, but that means I don't really share it with my friends. I hope something like this getting baked into self-hosting flows is killer.

My other pet peeve is that people use 'Cloud Services' for File transfer. Sometimes when they are in the same LAN!

Nice work again and I hope it catches on/people understand how great this really is :)

What's not easy about it? Would love to hear about the gaps in software/education that could make it easier to use.
