    DLDeploy Puts Local ESP32 Devices On MATA Home

    DLDeploy puts local ESP32 devices on MATA Home. A porch camera or a presence board talks to the Home Computer and never opens a vendor cloud.

  2. Silver laptop with a dark terminal on a sunlit oak desk, next to a linen notebook and a wooden pencil

    SpaceDB 0.7 Does The Same Work In Far Fewer Instructions

    SpaceDB 0.7 is a performance release of the local-first database. Eight drivers fell from 5,702 million instructions to 2,378 million, results unchanged.

  3. A wooden desk at night with a PC tower, a monitor showing a starfield and a small spacecraft, a keyboard, a notebook, and a lit desk lamp

    Game Memory Allocator: Fewer Frame Spikes, Measured

    A game memory allocator changes start-up cost and frame spikes. Endless Sky traces put rusty_alloc next to glibc, mimalloc, and jemalloc, with the memory bill attached.

  4. An open palm holding a small brass key above a pale oak table, with a closed laptop and a gray mug behind it

    What Is Sign In With MATA

    What is Sign in with MATA? It is the login that uses the wallet on your device. Create an account, approve the prompt, and the site never gets your password.

    The Challenges Of Firebase When The Network Drops

    The challenges of Firebase show up in a tunnel: the app freezes, Google holds the data, and the bill grows with every user who stays connected.

    A Digital ID That Lives On Your Device

    A digital ID on your device authenticates with the secure chip — Touch ID, Face ID, Windows Hello — so the private key never sits in a password database.

    A Local Distributed Firebase Alternative

    A local distributed Firebase alternative commits on the device first, then syncs across replicas the user owns — no Google round-trip, no per-user meter.

    A Wallet Without A Bank Aggregator

    A wallet without a bank aggregator keeps every account on hardware you hold — no credential passthrough, and no cloud copy of your balances.

    Can Rust Make Arduino Devices Secure And Easy For Amateurs?

    Yes — if setup() and loop() stay the sketch, and identity, the mesh, and the proof all happen before the board is on a ladder. rusty_esp_arduino is that bet.

    esp32 iroh — The Mesh On The Chip Without AWS IoT

    esp32 iroh is rusty_esp_iroh: an iroh endpoint on ESP32, Janus ALPNs for rpc/media/telemetry, and a bridge for no_std nodes — no AWS IoT SDK.

    rusty_esp_audio — I2S And PDM Without ESP-ADF

    rusty_esp_audio remakes ESP-ADF, ESP-GMF, and esp_codec_dev: I2S/PDM capture and playback, a fixed-block pipeline, Opus and FLAC on the chip.

    rusty_esp_video — An ESP32 Camera That Does Not Phone Home

    rusty_esp_video remakes esp_video, esp_h264, and CameraWebServer: MJPEG and H.264 on the chip, RTP and MJPEG-over-HTTP, no vendor camera cloud.
