petition to open source Arc!!
We've decided to sunset Arc on December 22, 2026.
That's not an easy sentence to write. We spent years building Arc and celebrating each and every release along the way: we have so much pride and love for what we made alongside the Arc community.
Our priority is to deliver best-in-class security for our members. Keeping a browser secure takes constant, dedicated work that is only increasing in the age of AI. Dia was built from the ground up to meet today鈥檚 security standards, so that's where our engineering and security teams will focus moving forward.
We've worked to make switching to @diabrowser as easy as possible for Arc members. Here's how:
路 Your passwords, bookmarks, extensions and history come over to Dia seamlessly.
路 Spaces, Folders, and Tab Groups are in Dia and import over with your data intact.
路 Dia now surpasses Arc benchmarks in stability, speed, and security.
路 The browser features you use in Arc are free in Dia, and the AI is optional.
Thank you for using Arc, for pushing us to make it better, and for building alongside us. The team that made Arc is the same team behind Dia, and some of our most ambitious work is just ahead. We'd love for you to be there with us when it lands.
The bittorrent tracker finally has an identity! This lines up with BEP_0020.
Also, TCP peer handshake implemented. Need some more testing and then we move onto packet transfer, storage and hashing. Exciting stuff ahead!!

Somewhere along the process of building my torrent client, I ended up hosting a tracker on my own homelab to prevent hammering public infrastructure.
Also, tracker protocol implementation done, onto the peer protocol :)

Despite my initial impression, Go is apparently fun to write. Got a lot done in just one session, no AI for this project though. My client can parse torrent files and also connect to the tracker and scrape data about the torrent.
Next up: finding & connecting with peers

I'm stuck in a loop where I flesh out ideas with Claude and it writes me a detailed spec and then I never end up reading the spec anyways because its too long 馃槕

Neat little way to use multiple SSH keys on GitHub so I can use both my work & personal accounts at the same time. Just by switching the url.
nem-github:user/repo -> personal key
wrk-github:user/repo -> work key
Just use the ~/.ssh/config file

Step 6: Resume from that exact byte
The client seeks to that offset in the file and starts sending PATCH requests again from there, picking up exactly where it left off, byte for byte.
