Upgrade Little Snitch Before Upgrading to Mojave Beta

Little Snitch: use the nightly build on the macOS Mojave beta. If you have the current release version of Little Snitch (4.1.2) installed under High Sierra, upgrade it to the latest nightly build before upgrading to the macOS Mojave beta or your system will lose network access. If, like me, you did upgrade and lose network access, the workaround is simple: uninstall the release version of Little Snitch (make sure you keep your rules and settings) reinstall the nightly build. To uninstall Little Snitch, run the uninstaller app and follow the on-screen instructions. You can run the uninstaller from Terminal with the following command: bash /Library/Little\ Snitch/Little\ Snitch\ Uninstaller.app ### References - Internet access not working after install of Mojave - How to uninstall Little Snitch completely

Hypha Spike: WebRTC 1

A hypercore replicating over WebRTC between two browsers Source code ## Design Following on from (and in conjunction with) the Hypha Spike: DAT 1, this spike aims to: - Replicate a hypercore from browser-to-browser using WebRTC. ## Notes ### Iteration plan 1. Create a simple single-page web application that replicates a passed read key (equivalent to the native replication script) ### Usage The servers 1. Run the Hypha DAT 1 Spike (blog post) in a separate browser and copy the hyphalink. 2. Run a local instance of signalhub sh npm install -g signalhub cd <dat-1-spike-directory>/server signalhub listen -p 445 --key localhost-key.pem --cert localhost.pem 3. Paste the hyphalink into the hyphalink field and press the Connect button. ## Postmortem - No special notes/gotchas. Worked out of the box. ## Reference - Joe Hand’s Hyperdb web example
