New proposed @dasl.ing spec: Finding Internet Structures & Links (FISL). It's a standard API to map CIDs to locations that they can be retrieved from. See @norman.life's PR over at tangled.org/dasl.ing/das...

To everyone working on DAG-CBOR/DRISL implementations. There was a small update to that specs that shouldn't cause much problems, but is newsworthy: negative zero -0.0 is now forbidden. I recommend serializing it with the bytes from `0.0`. github.com/ipld/ipld/pu... github.com/darobin/dasl...

📦 CID Inspector brought to you by ProbeLab! Break any @ipfs.tech CID down into its parts. Paste a CIDv0 or CIDv1 and see its multibase, multicodec, and multihash (hash fn, size, digest) decoded instantly, plus a one-click retrieval check. Try it at: probelab.io/ipfs/cid-ins...

🚨 New Tool Suite Alert from ProbeLab 🚨 🔧 LiveProbers — no-install tools for Web3 devs. ⏱️ Chrono — convert @ethereum.org slot to epoch to timestamp to date 🔍 ENR Viewer — decode @ethereum.org Node Records 📦 CID Inspector — decompose @ipfs.tech CIDs Try them out: probelab.io/tools/

Hey we shipped a new Go code generator for lexicon types. Been in production for a couple weeks now 🥳 Based off of @bnewbold.net's cobalt work and @hypha.coop's go-dasl for DRISL serialization. Copies indigo's echo server stub generation verbatim. 100% compatible with @atproto/lex lockfiles.

📊 New report is live, tracking @ipfs.tech network performance trends from late April up to today. Highlights: 🚀 Kubo v0.39+ publish times holding strong under 1s ⏱️ DHT lookup latencies constantly below 0.4s ✅ IPNI keeping >99% uptime with 0% delayed ingests under heavy load.
Send us your projects and ideas!
Are you working with civic open data? Or other kinds of cool data? Reach out! There already are some cool projects for geo/sat and astronomy data — making dataset metadata available and searchable in a decentralised yet unified way — and we want to help more of them emerge!

We shipped content addressing to millions of users, then spent ~10 years pretending the spec already existed. 😅 Well, billions of CIDs later, it's finally real: the official CID spec is live on the @ipfs.tech specs. specs.ipfs.tech/cid/ Thanks @lidel.org and @robin.berjon.com
Tomorrow's CID Congress is shaping up to be a good one! Retrieval protocol discussions, a new Matadisco implementation for digital collections data, and a new mobile-first, developer-friendly IPFS node called Meshkit. We have room for 1-2 more demos, send a DM if interested. luma.com/smdplgg8

The future is now! - Dial keys, not IPs, thanks to Iroh - Fetch hashes, not URLs, thanks to DASL - Build on shared records, not siloed databases, thanks to the AT Protocol
We just released the first stable version of iroh, v1.0! Read about it: www.iroh.computer/blog/v1 We're super proud of where we landed with iroh's 1.0. Since version 0.35 it feels like we've entirely replaced the "engine underneath". Are you a fellow key-dialer? Come tell us how you use iroh!
How do you send 880,000 verified medical messages a month with near-zero support load — and no central database to breach? Switzerland's Health Info Net fragments & distributes encrypted messages across an IPFS swarm. Read the case study: docs.ipfs.tech/case-studies...

🔥🧨💥 HOT NEW DASL STUFF FOR YOUR ENJOYMENT! 💥🧨🔥 First is MUXL, a deterministic variant of MP4 so that you can publish reproducible, content-addressed, verifiable video. dasl.ing/muxl.html

Manifest-declared protocol handlers just landed (behind a flag) in Chrome 146 🎉 This is how ipfs:// or atproto:// can become first-class citizens of the browser! The web that's coming is built on keys, hashes, and verifiable data. Browsers need to meet it there. ipfsfoundation.org/protocol-han...
Read through for a great deep dive from @lajava77.bsky.social @igalia.com on how it works and the many security considerations along the way.
Tomorrow at 4p UTC / noon ET is the monthly CID Congress, working group edition. Two nice presos + discussion, and some general updates post-Atmosphere. See you there!
Are you ready to dazzle, bedazzle, and be dazzled? Because this coming Thursday is DASLing Group day! We're getting: • New video primitives MUXL & S2PA from @iame.li • The Radworks local-first app launcher from @norman.life • And more! Don't miss out! luma.com/yv4v1lba
The magic of global community and timezones — @vmx.cx just woke up to PRs to review and release ☕💎

While we're loving on rust, just a reminder that lib.rs/crates/dasl exists and is very fast! 💨
Created by the fine folks behind @iroh.computer (initially typo'd as crated, but it also works)
Good morning, Day 2! @robin.berjon.com will be sharing Matadisco, a system for publishing metadata for open data at 4:40. Come find him or @mosh.bsky.social to talk open data discovery, DASL.ing, or webtil.es! #atmosphereconf

Important piece of multi-protocol support in browsers! Thanks to much work from Javi, and funding from @ipfs.tech. HEY NOW, settle down - a ways to go: - can only redirect to URLs/paths - no Safari - off by default in Chrome (for now) - only allow-listed schemes unprefixed Step by step...
🪩 Introducing matadisco.org! — a way to discover open datasets via #atproto that doesn't depend on any single institution staying online. 🕺🏼 We have more public data than ever (satellite imagery, climate models, genomic sequences), but finding it is still painfully hard.
Want to help? We're collaborating with IIIF 3D and satellite imagery projects now, and want to chat with anyone working in open data (science or otherwise). This week @vmx.cx will be giving a talk at FOSSGIS Göttingen, and @robin.berjon.com at @atmosphereconf.org. Come find us or send a message!
Two blog posts, if you want to read more: Why we built this: ipfsfoundation.org/matadisco-ca... Technical explainer: vmx.cx/cgi-bin/blog...

Heading to #FOSSGIS in Gottingen? See you at @vmx.cx's talk introducing matadisco.org, a new system for resilient, public data discovery.
On my way to the #FOSSGIS conference in Göttingen! I'm so thrilled to meet all 1000 of you.

If you've noticed @ipfs.tech's upload/publish performance is so much faster lately, wonder no more! ProbeLab's Optimistic Provide is finally in production and it's working like a charm! Check how and why at: probelab.io/blog/optimis... Here's how big the improvement has been!
A small but meaningful update: IPIP-0499 is now merged into the IPFS spec! We're introducing configuration profiles for CIDs. 🧩 🧵
Already supported across a lot of IPFS tooling: Go: kubo 0.40, boxo 0.37, go-ipfs-cmds 0.16 JS: helia/unixfs 7.0.3, ipfs-unixfs-importer 16.1.1 Full spec + parameter tables 👉 specs.ipfs.tech/ipips/ipip-0499

Excited to announce our collaboration with @ipfs.tech and https://dasl.ing on two new standards for the next thousand years of decentralized social video: S2PA and MUXL! Together they give us a standard for self-certifying and content-addressable media in the decentralized social ecosystem.

Holy shit @iame.li and @stream.place are pullling C2PA into the atmosphere together with @ipfs.tech. I am am kinda gobsmacked to see this suddenly pop up as a real thing that Eli's making. @reckless.bsky.social and Jess Weatherbed talked about the problems w/ C2PA www.theverge.com/podcast/8740...

The IPFS white paper is one of the first paper club read throughs I hosted. Very readable! Led me down the content addressing rabbit hole. So useful! Content that you can get from any random place and still trust. Nick’s deep dive on CIDs is a lot, but gets you all the background you need.
I wrote a deep dive on CIDs, the self-describing cryptographic fingerprints behind every record, blob, commit, and Merkle tree node in ATProtocol. Part 1 covers the history, the encoding primitives, and the specific constraints ATProtocol applies.

Great DASLing Group bimonthly today! Lots of good things in motion, including: - A Perceptual Fingerprint (PFP) spec github.com/darobin/dasl... - A proposed storage layout spec github.com/darobin/dasl... - A webtil.es demo & overview To join the next one(s): luma.com/cid-congress

Humans are really good at recognizing an image even when it's been cropped, rotated, deep-fried, de-saturated, etc. Computers, in general, aren't as good: different bits=different image. Our latest dripline post discusses some techniques that allow computers to recognize similarity at scale
