Hey amazing post. I have a really interesting project which I want to share which I really obsess about which is called piping server.

I really think of ways on how I can use this which seems an amazing almost uncensorable-ish tech on how to connect two pc's. Like sometimes my brain just thinks "pipes (piping server) just for email". Its a bit of an obsession...

Something like a VPN could theoretically be created where the piping server well "pipes" it in an encrypted manner through internet.

I would love to create something like this just for the funzies but what I am more interested about is the transport layer.

Like I want something which can be independent of udp or whatever and the only thing I am worried about is how I will transport them to the other pc and then I can then lets say send them over piping server, send them over matrix or signal if need be too idk.

Is there any foss projects that can help me just hook up into things in a similar manner as to what I am asking?

I want a implementation independent-ish transport layer so that I can experiment with things which I can just pipe if I can be really really honest.

I also want more people to look into it as I use sometimes piping-server as a way to transporting files between podman containers even though its a bit slow just to try it out and honestly, just having the fun of installing curl and then being ready to go makes it so much more easier to transport files out of the box... and I want to experiment more with it, its been an obsession for almost an year on and off thinking about piping servers and how elegant they are. I used them of sorts to break an intel nat once, but since then we got some better options if somebody wants to know how to break any nats without any root without any emulation but maybe I want to create a blog post about it someday but I am lazy.
