cmars<p>Some exciting <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/stigmerge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>stigmerge</span></a> updates to share!</p><p>All stigmerge peers are now seeders -- there are no <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/leechers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>leechers</span></a> in official stigmerge releases. Sharing is caring! <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/veilid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>veilid</span></a> private routing mitigates the privacy hazards normally associated with sharing content over public networks directly.</p><p>Peers gossip with each other _constantly_, advertising themselves and discovering new neighbors -- and they store these contact lists in the <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/veilid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>veilid</span></a> DHT like a pheromone trail. So even when an original seeder is long gone and goes offline -- if just one of its last-known neighbors is online, future travelers still have a chance to join a live swarm of active peers.</p><p>Fetchers can balance downloads among multiple peers, gravitating towards the most productive ones.</p><p>It's also super-easy to run stigmerge from an OCI container now (<a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Docker" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Docker</span></a> or <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Podman" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Podman</span></a> as you like).</p><p>Check out the updated README for more details -- and the 0.5.6 release to try these new superpowers out for yourself!</p><p><a href="https://github.com/cmars/stigmerge" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">github.com/cmars/stigmerge</span><span class="invisible"></span></a><br><a href="https://github.com/cmars/stigmerge/releases/tag/stigmerge-v0.5.6" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">github.com/cmars/stigmerge/rel</span><span class="invisible">eases/tag/stigmerge-v0.5.6</span></a></p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/filesharing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>filesharing</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/p2p" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>p2p</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/anonymity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>anonymity</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/privacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>privacy</span></a></p>
