Edge
ESP mesh nodes: neighborhood hardware
Why this band exists
The quieter internet is not only software in a browser tab; it is radios and chips on a shelf you can touch. Remade Edge makes ESP-class nodes speak the mesh so cameras, mics, and identity live on devices that never have to phone a cloud broker.
Why now
A party of only laptops dies when the lid closes. Doorbells, shed sensors, and maker boards have to join as peers: same DID grammar, same media path, same refusal of a rented IoT SKU. Kairos and rusty_esp_* are how neighborhood hardware stops being a content pipeline for someone else's campus.
How it fits
Identity on the chip is still Identity. Local AV uses Media codecs. On-device detection is Mind. Sync when awake is Memory. Firmware lockfiles are Trust. Edge is where the constellation touches dirt and copper.

rusty_esp_iroh · replaces cloud IoT brokers
iroh mesh on ESP32
rusty_esp_mid · replaces vendor device IDs
mID on the chip
rusty_esp_audio · replaces cloud mic stacks
Local audio without phoning home
rusty_esp_video · replaces cloud camera stacks
MJPEG and H.264 on ESP
Kairos · replaces FreeRTOS C kernel as sole runtime
FreeRTOS-class realtime remade in Rust
Starfire / Comet · replaces hosted game stream
Self-hosted GameStream clients
What to build first
- An ESP32 peer on rusty_esp_iroh that speaks Janus ALPNs on the mesh
- Camera or mic paths with rusty_esp_video / rusty_esp_audio that stay on-LAN
- Self-hosted play with Starfire instead of a rented GameStream region
Field notes in Edge
Is Your Samsung TV Always Listening?

The Bedroom Camera That Let a Stranger Speak
In 2019 a Ring camera in a child's bedroom let a stranger speak through the speaker. A local baby monitor does not need its own cloud account.
