I've been working on extending CDC File Transfer to support Linux→Linux and macOS builds. This is an open-source project born from Google Stadia – fast file sync tools (cdc_rsync) and a streaming filesystem (cdc_stream) that use Content Defined Chunking (FastCDC) to transfer only the changed portions of files.

Originally Windows→Linux only, designed for game developers to iterate on 40+ GB builds. The CDC-based diffing is up to 30x faster than rsync (1500 MB/s vs 50 MB/s).

What I added (40 commits):

Linux Client Support:

Ported cdc_rsync client to run on Linux (was Windows-only) Added process_linux.cc (~700 lines): Process management using fork/execve Added port_manager_linux.cc: Port detection using POSIX shared memory Now you can sync Linux→Linux, not just Windows→Linux macOS Support:

Full build support for macOS (ARM64 and x86_64) Fixed 17+ platform-specific issues: /tmp, /var, /etc are symlinks to /private/* – breaks path comparisons POSIX shared memory rounds ftruncate() up to 16KB, rejects shrinking BSD fts_* API reports Bazel runfiles symlinks as FTS_SL not FTS_F strerror(0) returns different strings per platform stat64 doesn't exist on macOS (just use stat) All 41 tests now pass on macOS Infrastructure:

GitHub Actions CI for Linux and macOS (self-hosted runner for macOS) Added comprehensive CLAUDE.md for AI-assisted development The project uses Bazel with gRPC, protobuf, and FUSE. Dependencies via git submodules or http_archive.

GitHub (original): https://github.com/google/cdc-file-transfer My fork: https://github.com/Vadiml1024/cdc-file-transfer

I've been using Claude Code (Anthropic's AI coding assistant) for most of this work. Happy to discuss the experience or the technical challenges.

Used Claude Code to implement Apple PQ3 protocol which use Elliptic Curves and Post Quantum Kyber encryption. Pretty decent result IMHO

Biden need to sign executive order to jail all judges voted for this verdict for high treason of not protecting US constitution. And he will be immune thanks to them.

Apl always was kind of write only language. But now you probly can paste all code in chat gpt and it will explain it
