A

Hello, everyone and welcome to the ipfs weekly call today we are set up, is going to be slightly different. We usually have one person talk and question answers at the end of the talk, but today we'll have show-and-tell, so show-and-tell I have placed in a link. So put not only will you put in your name, but please put in the presentation that you would like to present and it doesn't have to be formal. So put not only sorry, that's YouTube, making sure streams in terms of what you can talk about during this five minute period.

A

You could talk about projects that you're working on features that you are building community and meetup updates. So if you are holding a meet-up in your city, please let us know, um and if you're working on something and have any questions you can also I'll put that in as well. So, let's see what we have so far in terms of signing up for a talk, you can put your talk underneath like agenda so in agenda. You will put your name and you will put your project or feature or community update.

A

So what I'll do is I'll give people about five minutes to think about what they'd like to present and around and five minutes later. We will begin.

A

The hello once again, what we're doing is show-and-tell for today so call up some people who are part of the call. They have a chance to introduce what they're working on features their building or community tasks that they're presenting so seems like. We have two people who are presenting and the presentations will be no more than like five minutes and they're very informal.

B

There's this fantastic feature of bulleted lists in Google Docs, where I was haven't now, if adding a few bullets are trying to at least one below me, so we avoid the collision war. The list collision part where bullets fly.

C

So kind I make use of your additional bullets, but I was a bullet. I was a bullet leech I just consumed the bullet pay.

B

C

A

Some bullet issues all right solved for now very manual solution, but solved.

A

Okay, one more minute, and then we will start.

A

Okay, let's begin so before, we start the show and tell but lightning talks that will see today will be presented by Jim pick Jay carpenter, D entry. Am I pronouncing your name correctly: Dietrich, Dietrich, Dietrich and Holly.

A

So we'll begin up and light up and see so how many talks we had one two, three one, two, three, four: five, all right, so what I didn't mention the beginning? We have time for my three talks tops. However, if we have more than three talks, what we can, what we will do is.

A

The suspense is killing me, the happy emoji our thumbs up, emoji I.

C

Think I certainly missed the crucial middle section of the. What we're gonna do.

D

Portion meant vote vote using sums up emoji. Yes,.

A

C

Was a networking law.

A

So you can vote using a thumbs up emoji and you can pick which talk. You would like to hear.

E

Can can your paste a thumbs up emoji, so you can copy? Oh.

A

Yes, I'm actually having problems with the thumbs up as well, so.

A

Why don't we put an X I got.

D

You there's a thumbs up, you can clap yeah it's. You can't for some reason: use the Apple emoji keyboard in Google Docs, because I've complained about it and they won't listen to me, but you can use it in slack. So.

A

Yeah the only problem I actually have with the of Apple emojis is of Google Docs.

A

F

Can choose insert special character and then you have to choose emoji as a category from the drop-down. It's extremely tedious.

C

This is this is the whole content of that unit to the okay, that's weekly for.

A

Anonymous Python.

C

I think I think we should. We should just stop with Yemen and come back to this voting SDK. Okay,.

A

It sounds like a sound suggestion and looks like Jim is getting a lot of the votes away. So uh yes, why don't we start with? um So we have Jim, but it looks like we have Dietrich, Ali and Lydell. They each have four. So if you want to be so, if you want to like be a part of the tiebreaking process, that'd be great I. Think.

C

We should hear from Jay he's turned up to the cool I mean I. Would I wouldn't remove my name from the list if they came to that scenario, okay,.

A

um We'll figure this out after Jim presents, so why don't you start off the presentations and Jim? Are you ready all right, yep awesome.

E

Try to keep this one under it really quick. So this is chrome. This is the the shipping version and they've introduced a new feature which I'm going to use. So here's the demo hey it works so, but there's magic here, because this index, that Jim or in your index Jim picked up your festive music said: Amy does not actually exist, yeah on HTTP, even though it says it.

E

Yes, this is fully loaded over IP FS, specifically the IP of escaping so it's it can do this because Google is experimenting with the feature called here called signed, HTTP exchanges and this big long article. Here you can read about it: it's primarily being used by Google a MP right now and it's a way for publishers, say like Washington Post, to put out a news article for Google News, but they can cryptographically sign this article and put it on Google CDN and then Chrome is not to see this SSL signature.

E

That's been wrapped around the content and then, when it loads it into the web browser, it will well lie and say that it got it from Washington Post when actually it got it from the Google Google EMP cache, which is a CDN. So we're doing the same thing here, except we're getting it from ipfs and you know I. Could the content myself so I've loaded a few different sites up here? Things would be all load.

E

You have to specifically publish these sites, though, because it needs to generate these signed, HTTP exchanges, so.

E

Just just I've created a little service, it's a lot of work that you have to get certificates and all sorts of things. I went and bought a door. I have a domain name short domain name and then I bought a wild card, SSL certificate with a special flag and I built a little service that runs on docker, that you can log in with your github account, and you can do like use it test or just I'll to say, like this weekly I'm, going to quickly make a website here.

E

Get the CID for the website put that in there publish it it's yeah and it build, but then the white tailed actually.

E

E

Interesting, okay, well mr. Mosely just praising their work, but what it would normally do would be, publish it and then you'd be able to click on it, and it does this because I have an extension that will see that I'm going to this non-existent website, and it will redirect and look these sign exchanges. So that's it for me: I put a link beside it. You can follow along it's very much a work in progress and where we're enhancing it as we go along and here's the web page to do there. So I'll finish my talk.

E

Next person can go.

C

I just tried Jim's demo a few minutes ago on the ipfs office hours and was able to publish and retrieve the ipfs web UI over ipfs and fire SXG sound exchanges. So my user agent politely lied to me about the source of the thing gave me a cool URL instead of at just a hash, so I can now it can work.

A

Thank you very much all right. Let's move, oh I think I know thumbs up. I don't say: do you want to move quickly to the other talks.

A

And let's see, let's go, the next talk is from Jay Jay carpenter. Can you do you mind presenting sure.

G

Thank you I'll make it real, quick because I just kind of jumped in I, you know people weren't, jumping in so I thought I'd throw something out there. Basically, let's see how do I present here the.

H

Bottom, the share icon, which is green sure, okay, great and let's see.

G

Well, I'm gonna just go real, quick and just say that we've been working on some things here in Feeny for document management, particularly in the legal realm, and we rift off of a blog post by coral health showing how you can use IKEA fests and a peer-to-peer fashion using lid p2p to load encrypted files, and so a team of us here in Phoenix use that for legal documents and we actually won the global legal hackathon through ASU law, school and anyway.

G

I just wanted everybody to know that we've got a very vibrant community that that are exploring ipfs, led p2p. All the the modules of protocol, labs and I run a community called desert. Blockchain we've got about 1,800 members and it's it's a regular occurrence that we're exploring ipfs and some of the other constructs so I'll leave it at that and let somebody else present. Thank you. Thank.

A

You um before we go off to to the other person, do you mind putting a link of your project and also a link of desert blockchain, be sure many of us are very interested in checking it out. Thank you today, all right thumbs up. Let's go on to the next one, then that let's see, let's go with D etre.

B

Hey everybody happy Monday I have a little show-and-tell, it's just a little change that I made to a website you might already know about which is the public IP, FS and gateway checker. This is a list of public IP, FS gateways and they're on an offline status. I was kind of curious about general gateway. Health I was having some gateway, timeout issues, and this came up while I was doing. Google searching is really really interesting. Resource kind of a cool view of just how big the public gateway space is.

B

There are 40 gateways listed here, I, don't know if some of these are finding ones have been offline for a long time or not or I. Don't really know who keeps this list updated. Int acted in place, I see it in Jamie is on the call who reviewed my little PR they'll talk about them. Second manner. Thank you. So what I did is I added a little timeout, checker or I guess more, like a requested duration, checker. So every time I noticed it in the source code.

B

For this it actually makes a request to the Gateway for a piece of content and see how checks whether it's online or not, by making that request and see if the request is fulfilled so I just added a little duration count measuring the ten requests took to complete and added that to the Gateway list here.

B

So you can see the how exactly how long so he's gateways are taking some of the ones lower on the list were taking a long time last week, but all these times are under half a second right now, which is actually pretty pretty fantastic notice. That is really good for a bunch of public resources that we don't really Rev and but I guess. We probably know some of these people in the community. But a lot of these are new to me.

B

So it's kind of cool tool to learn more about the broader public infrastructure by PFS. Thanks.

A

Awesome, thank you very much.

A

Yeah yeah we're gonna actually for the next meetup meetings, we're going to clock towards the end when everyone's finished, so we can quickly move on to the different presentations. Let's see, we have time for another one.

A

And let's hear from Holly.

C

Hello Lanisha, let me shameless Gris, I'm gonna tell you about a little thing that I worked on in the background last week. Basically I noticed that all of our J s tests rely on releasing go ipfs Depp to NPM so that we can test against. So we do test against Jessica this, of course, but it's nice to also test things like the HTTP client against go ipfs as well. To make that easier.

C

There is there's a tool that lets you add, go I, give us depth to your NPM dependencies and what it will do is during npm install they were to scoff and fetch the version of goa cadets that matches the version of the npm module that even storage. So if you install go I'll, give a step at 4.20 one, it will go and get pulled up, 21 from disk type in SEO, which is very cool, but there's and some implicit at me yeah. As soon as you go, I DFS releases any release.

C

Somebody has to remember to go and release, go out, that's death. So what did was I've been exploring get her passions for our continuous integration and continuous deployment of websites, so I thought I would take what I had learned and apply it Indian modules.

C

So this always if I go like the best death, is a fork of the real go up in step, because I wanted to a sanity check it first and since something in the chat, please them shout if you wanna minorities I want his sons check it first, so this has been forked under my NPM username space, so I can try it out before I inflict it on the world, but basically what you're seeing here is the NPM release page for ode up for 21, which was generated by a robot. It was generated by a robot.

C

That is basically this gift of action. The moment he backed the disk taurog, the best our website was updated with the gold leaf s ODOT 4.21 release within within an hour. This is running on a schedule. This getting of action occurred. It checked it found that there was a newer one than the ambien version, and then it built and tested and versioned it and it published it on NPM and then at some point later on, this PR I got a little information that had been a command. Apparently by me, it wasn't really by me acting.

C

It was done by the robot and the package was released so now now that's the thing so I just need some person to sanity check my bash scripts, but otherwise it's it's good to go, and now those two things will always be in sync.

C

The extension for this piece of work is to to have it published, release candidates as well as stable releases and use the right, MDM next or loads, its distribution tanks, so that we can install release candidates, they're, not lists and a quick shout out version of I profess desktop is about the land and there is a beta release on your friendly neighborhood activist, desktop repo. Now, and you should come to the I profess office hours. The office hours isn't every week just before this cool, and you should come to that, and that is me.

C

Thank you very much.

A

We have time for one more so I don't want pronouncing your name correctly, I'm, not sure I, pronounce your like you're handing those perfect okay.

A

I

We are working on embedding just ipfs in brave, so there's like an issue I linked. If anyone is interested in tracking it and the work is in progress to have an embedded as duplicate way, so you don't need to run any external software so that works in a way. This is using my external go ipfs, but I can switch to a but note and now what's happening is embedded note started and is running. I gave that demo before, not in case anyone missed it. It's in one of previous calls.

I

What's interesting is now that you download brave, nightly from break website, and you start it.

I

You go to settings and you scroll, Scroll, scroll, Scroll, scroll down. You can see that brave comes out of the box with support for web torrent plugin for hangouts, and what is this is that ipfs, companion, hmm okay.

I

All right, so that's my demo awesome.

A

Thank you very much.

I

So it's still working progress, there's one click install installs, the same version that is available on Chrome, Web Store and that version does not have embedded gateway. Yet you still need to run. Ipfs desktop, go install a profess desktop, it's really great, but we are going to have an alternative for people who don't want to install a third party shell software. There will be an option to use embedded note that should give you more or less feature parity, so yeah.

A

Ok. Well. That concludes our show-and-tell for today. Thank you, everyone for participating and for listening, and we plan on doing a show-and-tell on a monthly basis. It's a great way for us to see what everyone is building and working on so um we'll end it here. Thank you very much and I will see everyone. Next Monday have a great week. Take care.
