Not a goal of Yggdrasil

Not a goal of Yggdrasil

Welcome to this article! If you've been sent here, it means you're being bullshit and don't understand that “is not a goal of Yggdrasil”! Likely you was been also politely told to ~~fuck off~~ go somewhere other than here.

This phrase comes from main developer Neil Alexander's answer in the Matrix room to a question about Yggdrasil's advantages over Tor:

<@karl:kashofer.org>: hi all ! whats the advantage of yggdrasil vs tor ? With hidden services tor provides a internal network and also anonymity.
<@neilalexander:neilalexander.dev>: Anonymity is not a goal of Yggdrasil. We are a project trying to build an efficient and scalable mesh routing protocol, one that finds the best possible route through the network with a given set of links

And so, what is not the goal of Yggdrasil?

Anonymity

If you want anonymity, then you are obviously at the wrong place. Let's rehearse it together - “not a goal of Yggdrasil!”

Security

Obviously, who would argue, that's obviously is “not a goal of Yggdrasil!” As soon as you install Yggdrasil on your device, take care of the firewall, because your security is the purpose of the firewall!

Stability

“Not a goal of Yggdrasil”, as weekly panic is common.

Proxy mode

Proxy mode (HTTP/SOCKS) of Yggdrasil would help with browser support, and, for example, with creating Yggdrasil browser extension with no installation! This would solve insecure connection problem (HTTP is “insecure”), resolve 300:: subnet collisions, but that “is not a goal of Yggdrasil”! (By the way, Neil was doing SOCKS-mode support yggstack)

Autopeering

How nice it would be if a simple installation was enough to run Yggdrasil, with no additional configuration, but this “is not a goal of Yggdrasil”!

Wednesday

Wednesday — a day of next Yggdrasil release. Any question about when Yggdrasil's N-th release will be, as a rule, a little less than all members of the community say, “Wednesday”. No one mentions which wednesday they are talking about.
