Thank you, Yggdrasil, for being just a compact routing scheme, not a semi-governmental military solution for implementing horrors beyond my comprehesion (they just love nordic or lotr names for that kind of things)
Is Yggdrasil still using raw truncated ed25519 keys to determine the treespace root node? [1] If so, this seems to be an obvious network availability vulnerability.

It's been working well for me as a kind of poor-man's tailscale, connecting several VPS and several laptops.

Does anyone run private services for themselves on Yggdrasil by allowlisting specific IPs and piggybacking on the routing layer? I've thought about doing this but haven't tried it.<p>I wish TLS behaved better with private networks but I around certificates continues to mostly be oriented around the Internet.
Not to be confused with the Yggdrasil Linux distro.<p>(Sometimes being first doesn't help.)<p>[1] <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yggdrasil_Linux/GNU/X" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yggdrasil_Linux/GNU/X</a>
Yggdrasil was my first distro, but I was evaluating it and another one back to back. I ended up sticking with SLS until I got a RedHat Linux book with a CD in the back - at retail, in brick and mortar book store. The next couple were Caldera and Mandrake, this time in tidy cardboard boxes with multiple discs and multiple books each. I think I got those both at computer/electronics stores. The latency was high, but the bandwidth of driving home with 7 discs was hard to beat at the time.
Or the yggdrasil daemon from Red Hat:<p><a href="https://github.com/RedHatInsights/yggdrasil" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/RedHatInsights/yggdrasil</a>
That is a remarkably content-free website. I tried (I think) all of the obvious pages, but still don't know in any detail, how do they handle routing differently from the normal internet.<p>Can anyone explain? They complain that routing on the internet is (somewhat) hierarchical to scale, but then don't explain their solution to the same problem(s).<p>The simplified choice has always been distance-vector, or link state. Are they a better attempt at one of these? Some new idea?
it’s been “new” fir as long as i have known about it, over 5 years or so? or is this a different thing?
