@movq Speaking of fog, a workmate showed me his view out of the window today and you couldn't even see a hundred meters. Looked really nice! :-) We actually had a little bit of sun over here.
@movq Woah, that sun from satellite SDO is fucking sick! https://social.bund.de/system/media_attachments/files/113/859/065/836/106/300/original/95b43f7a0086476d.jpeg

I haven't read the entire specification, but I think there is a fundamental design problem. Why would someone put an encrypted message on a public feed that is completely useless to everybody other than the one recipient? This doesn't make sense to me. It of course depends on the threat model, but wouldn't one also want to minimize the publicly visible metadata (who is communicating with whom and when) when privately messaging? I feel there are better ways to accomplish this. Sorry, if I miss the obvious use case, please let me know. :-)

I'm turning off the ActivityPub feed for my Owncast site (https://live.0x212.com). I realized it's silly and redundant to have it while running a Mastodon instance.
This UX can be very frustrating.
another one would be to allow changing public keys over time (as it may be a good practice [0]). A syntax like the following could help to know what public key you used to encrypt the message, and which private key the client should use to decrypt it:

!<nick url> <encrypted_message> <public_key_hash_7_chars>


Also I'd remove support for storing the message as hex, only allowing base64 (more compact, aiming for a minimalistic spec, etc.)

my first thought is that encrypting messages with Elliptic keys is not as easy as with RSA, although I tried doing something similar a few months ago with ECIES
https://github.com/eapl-gemugami/owl/blob/main/src/app/controller/ecies_demo.php
interesting idea. I'm not personally interested on having DM conversations on twtxt (for now), although I see the community could be interested in.

I'd suggest to enable the Discussion section in your Github repo to receive comments, as we did for timeline https://github.com/sorenpeter/timeline/discussions

#selfhosting is a privilege.

Sure, I agree: it is the best option in many cases, and in some cases it feels like the only option - if you care for things like safety and privacy.

But us - the same community that usually promotes self-hosting - should also be aware that it is a means to an end, we should understand the reasons why it is a good idea... and also design "the fallback" for those who cannot, for some reason, self-host.

And we know how to do that: just look at the healthy community of fediverse servers that are out there, not in competition but in cooperation with a number self-hosted single-user instances. But we don't do it/have the same ecosystem in many other fields.

And self-hosting is a privilege: it demands more financial investment, more time investment, and has some potentially expensive dependencies (stable 24/7/365 internet connection and electricity, for eg.).

Just like the "path to #freesoftware" is a ladder and not a binary switch, service autonomy/independence/sovereignty is too (an often they are even related - how many "need" to use some proprietary app in order to access to a certain service they are dependent of?).
