Join the FIPS mesh directly in your browser with one click, using a Linux kernel and FIPS stack, both of which are running in JS/WASM in your browser tab. A new platform (Linux in the browser) for @npub1y0gj...00ly , and a new transport too (websockets, because web apps aren't permitted to do raw TCP). Just one of the many fun things demoed at @Sovereign Engineering . This requires my webtransport-aware node being online, so that it can be your gateway. But maybe we'll have many such nodes in future!

Crazy yes 😀 But I kinda think the idea of a FIPS node in the browser might be useful. The whole Linux and ipv6 thing was a bit silly (just fun for a demo) but a FIPS node that uses the FIP Native API might be useful to some people, and therefore the 'websocket' transport might be useful. For example, imagine a Cashu wallet like cashu.me that is a PWA. It could have a minimal FIPS node built in to connect to a mint over FIPS. For now, I'll ignore this. But curious if I/we/others should maybe follow up on this sometime
