A soldier's letters home exist only on a shuttered email service. A -child's first words, recorded on a phone, will vanish when the cloud -subscription lapses.</p> -<p>We are the first generation in history that produces more memories than any -civilization before us — and loses them faster than any civilization before us.</p> -<h2 id="the-problem-no-one-talks-about">The Problem No One Talks About</h2> -<p>Every platform you trust with your memories is temporary. Every company that -promises "forever" is one quarterly report away from pivoting, selling, or -shutting down. Every proprietary format is a ticking clock.</p> -<ul> -<li><strong>Google Photos, iCloud, OneDrive</strong> — your memories live on someone else's -server, under someone else's terms of service, behind someone else's paywall</li> -<li><strong>Social media</strong> — your life story is scattered across platforms that treat -your memories as advertising inventory</li> -<li><strong>Hard drives and USB sticks</strong> — they fail silently, with no warning and no -backup</li> -<li><strong>DVDs and CDs</strong> — already unreadable for most people</li> -</ul> -<p>The pattern is always the same: a format becomes popular, a company makes it -easy, people pour their lives into it, and then it disappears. GeoCities. Vine. -MySpace. Google+. The list grows every year.</p> -<p>This is not a technology problem. It is a design problem. We keep building -systems where memory preservation is a side effect of someone's business model, -not the purpose.</p> -<h2 id="what-tesseras-does-differently">What Tesseras Does Differently</h2> -<p>Tesseras starts from a radical premise: <strong>your memories belong to you, and they -should outlast every company, platform, and format that exists today.</strong></p> -<p>A tessera is a self-contained time capsule — photos, audio, video, and text — -packaged in a format designed to be understood centuries from now, without any -special software.</p> -<h3 id="no-servers-no-subscriptions-no-company">No Servers. No Subscriptions. No Company.</h3> -<p>Tesseras is a peer-to-peer network built on mutual aid. You store fragments of -other people's memories, and they store yours. No tokens, no blockchain, no -monthly fees. The incentive is simple and human: I help preserve your story, you -help preserve mine.</p> -<h3 id="survives-anything">Survives Anything</h3> -<p>Your tessera is protected by erasure coding — the same mathematics that keeps -deep-space probes talking to Earth. Your data is split into redundant fragments -and distributed across the network. Nodes can go offline, hard drives can fail, -entire regions can lose connectivity — and your memories survive.</p> -<h3 id="self-describing-format">Self-Describing Format</h3> -<p>Every tessera carries within itself the instructions to be decoded. In plain -text. In multiple languages. Even if every copy of the Tesseras software -disappeared tomorrow, anyone with a basic understanding of computing could read -your tessera. It is a file format designed for archaeologists, not just -programmers.</p> -<h3 id="post-quantum-cryptography">Post-Quantum Cryptography</h3> -<p>Tesseras uses dual signatures — classical Ed25519 and post-quantum ML-DSA — so -that the authenticity of your memories can be verified even after quantum -computers render today's cryptography obsolete. We protect the future, today.</p> -<h3 id="built-for-the-long-arc">Built for the Long Arc</h3> -<p>Every decision in Tesseras is made with centuries in mind:</p> -<ul> -<li><strong>Simplest media formats</strong> — JPEG for photos, WAV for audio, WebM for video, -plain text for writing. Not because they're the best, but because they'll be -readable the longest.</li> -<li><strong>No encryption by default</strong> — availability over secrecy. A memory that can't -be decrypted is a memory that's lost. Private memories can be encrypted, but -the default is survival.</li> -<li><strong>No dependency on the internet</strong> — tesseras can be stored on USB drives, -optical media, Raspberry Pis on a shelf, even low-power IoT devices. Any copy -is a valid copy.</li> -</ul> -<h2 id="the-human-need">The Human Need</h2> -<p>Humans have always preserved memories. Cave paintings in Lascaux. Clay tablets -in Mesopotamia. Letters folded into books. Photo albums passed from parent to -child.</p> -<p>The desire to be remembered — to leave proof that we were here, that we loved, -that we lived — is among the deepest human impulses. Every culture, in every -era, has found ways to inscribe its existence into something more durable than a -single lifetime.</p> -<p>The digital age promised to make this easier. Instead, it made it fragile. We -traded durability for convenience, and the cost is measured in lost childhoods, -forgotten faces, and stories that no one will ever hear.</p> -<p>Tesseras is an attempt to restore the ancient contract: <strong>what you choose to -remember should endure.</strong></p> -<h2 id="why-tesseras">Why "Tesseras"?</h2> -<p>A <em>tessera</em> (plural <em>tesserae</em>) is a small piece of stone, glass, or ceramic -used to compose a mosaic. The word comes from Latin, borrowed from the Greek -<em>τέσσερα</em> — the tiny squares that, piece by piece, built the grand mosaics of -Rome, Pompeii, and Byzantium.</p> -<p>Some of those mosaics are still intact after two thousand years.</p> -<p>The metaphor is the project: each tessera in our network is a small, -self-contained fragment — individually simple, individually durable. But -together, they compose something larger: a mosaic of human memory, distributed -across thousands of nodes, resilient enough to outlast any single point of -failure.</p> -<p>Just as ancient tesserae needed no manual to be understood — a shard of colored -stone speaks for itself — each digital tessera carries within it everything -needed to be read, in plain formats, in plain language.</p> -<p>The name is also a reminder of scale. A mosaic is not made in a day. It is -assembled piece by piece, with patience, by many hands. That is how we intend to -build a network that lasts.</p> -<h2 id="open-source-open-protocol-open-future">Open Source, Open Protocol, Open Future</h2> -<p>Tesseras is free software under the ISC license. The protocol is open. The -format is documented. Anyone can run a node, build a client, or fork the entire -project.</p> -<p>There is no venture capital behind Tesseras. No growth metrics to hit. No exit -strategy. Just a simple conviction: the technology to preserve human memory -should not be owned by anyone.</p> -<h2 id="current-status">Current Status</h2> -<p>Tesseras is in Phase 4 — Resilience and Scale. The core format, cryptographic -foundations, peer-to-peer network, active replication with erasure coding, -GraphQL API, and Flutter app are built. We are now working on Shamir's Secret -Sharing for heir key recovery, advanced NAT traversal, and performance tuning.</p> -<p>This is a long-term project. We measure progress in decades, not quarters.</p> -<h2 id="join-us">Join Us</h2> -<p>If you believe that human memory is worth preserving — not as a product, not as -a service, but as a fundamental right — we'd love your help.</p> -<ul> -<li>Read the <a href="/faq/">FAQ</a> to learn more</li> -<li>Join the <a href="/subscriptions/">mailing lists</a> for updates</li> -<li>Browse the <a rel="external" href="https://git.sr.ht/~ijanc/tesseras">source code</a></li> -<li><a href="/contact/">Contact us</a> directly</li> -</ul> - -</article> - - </main> - - <footer> - <p>© 2026 Tesseras Project. <a href="/atom.xml">News Feed</a> · <a href="https://git.sr.ht/~ijanc/tesseras">Source</a></p> - </footer> -</body> -</html> diff --git a/about/index.html.gz b/about/index.html.gz Binary files differdeleted file mode 100644 index 2250c11..0000000 --- a/about/index.html.gz +++ /dev/null |
