ICYMI: UPDATE YOUR NODES. This is a breaking change. As we approach 1.0, every update is big and exciting, we've been working for a long time on this one!!

**Veilid Framework v0.5.0 is live in all the usual places!** The changelog is too much for a skeet so here's the link: gitlab.com/veilid/veili... New: DHT Transactions support Automatic default record encryption API level improvements and bug fixes (Thread with details)

What's it made of? It's about 80-100% of something we call HDP. Human Designed Privacy. And well, it's pretty much what it sounds like. A privacy focused app framework built for humans, by humans. No vibe coding, VCs or profit motives. Sorry for the video, but We still need some space, Carol.

“Nearly” everyone 😉 Veilid does rely on volunteers who run inbound capable nodes but they can be anywhere (and on any port). AWS, Digital Ocean, a raspberry pi at your house, whatever 😃 Decentralize the planet!

BSides Cambridge had a great start with @veilid.com talk today. Great to meet old and new friends.

I’m really hoping for @veilid.com to start gaining some traction so we can stop relying on the worst people for our basic app infrastructure

Pick up bricks. Together, bricks bud amazing things that can last for ages. But one properly aimed brick can change the world. BE THE BRICK

If you think marketing isn't important in the privacy space- try to convince your dentist to use Tor. I'm guessing they've heard horror stories about the dark web. Control your data- but also control the narrative.

Imagine how great it's going to be to get all of our parents off of Facebook messenger and WhatsApp. 1.0 arriving next August.

Everyone!! (But especially NODE OPERATORS!!) 0.5 is coming soon! It's a network breaking update, and all nodes who do not update will not function properly!! Please keep an eye on this space and in the discord to know when to update your node!

Nodes that do not update will continue to connect to each other until an event (reboot, etc) causes them to try bootstrapping again. At that point they will cease connecting to any other nodes. The future is upon us! Update those nodes! Be the brick!

Attention Veilid Node Operators: Be ready for v0.5.0! This version contains breaking changes so the easiest way to be ready is to set up auto updates with a cron job. Example can be found in our install guide. gitlab.com/veilid/veili...

Reminder that surveillance is an essential ingredient to fascism. Reclaiming privacy is an act of resistance.

Come to our table at BSidesLV, show us some evidence that you’re running a headless node and get your official Node Operator sticker!!!

All set up at @bsideslv.org ! Come see us, adopt an Ellet or a cow, get some stickers or maybe a hat, and support a free open sourced distributed network!

[31:30] love this project hate the insight 🙃 lmao 'well we use Signal for that' K: "Signal is great! We love Signal. Signal also has a six-figure overhead and no income. So someday Signal is going to have to make a really tough choice on how that's going to happen." C: "We just want to be there."

If you're looking for better privacy options online, we'd highly recommend checking out @veilid.com. What is Veilid? This video from a recent conference has a really great introduction to what Veilid is and what they hope to accomplish with it.

The upcoming v0.5.0 will include fixes and enhancements across the whole project based on our many experiments and lessons learned. It’s like we’re clanking up the start of a roller coaster. Hold on because v5 is the first drop into a thrilling path to v1.0.

Go check out the talk from Cyphercon that @dildog.l0pht.com and @medus4.com gave: "Take Back your data: giving users the privacy they deserve!" Learn how Veilid is different than other privacy frameworks, and what's being built on it! youtu.be/pOx4jVXmR9A?...

Given the history of META handing off decrypted chat logs to police, I can assure you that your chats are not as private as you think they are. Stop using WhatsApp, go with @signal.org or @veilid.com everything else out there is a risk.

@c0debabe.bsky.social just updated our website at veilid.com! Thank you!

Hey! The Veilid core has just dropped 0.4.3, update your nodes!

just joined the @veilid.com beta app, and i gotta say - i LOVE the UI it looks and feels so fantastic, shoutout to the people behind it

One of the things we mention a lot with @veilid.com is that we are a nonprofit in the purest sense- Everyone working on the project, from the founders to the devs to our legal team- still has their day job. We dont take salaries. And it’s not that we’re AGAINST anyone making money-

If you are still using the Circle V ⓥ logo to indicate you support Veilid, we are switching to the Square V 🅅 logo to disambiguate from the Vegan/Vegetarian usage of that symbol, which has caused some confusion. Please update your profiles, and thanks for supporting us!
