Tlx is an end-to-end encrypted messaging system built on SSH, age encryption, and SQLite, with a relay server under 150 lines of Python. Users communicate through encrypted blobs that the relay cannot read, using SSH keys for identity and authentication. The entire stack, including Docker setup, stays under 500 lines of code.
In 1999, Poul-Henning Kamp sent an influential email to the FreeBSD project about decision-making dynamics, introducing the term 'bikeshed' as industry jargon.
