It's nice to see we're all largely thinking along the same lines. e.g: Salty.im 😅

@eapl.me Yeah this is true. Previously RSA and AES were more common. These days Salsa and Chacha and Curve are fairly prevalent. For example all the Wireguard stuff uses Curve25519 / Ed25519 crypto. Signal uses very similar crypto too, but with some very nice double ratcheting 3DH.

@doesnm That's _actually_ not true, because you'd have to know the target you're interested in, in the first place. Inboxes in Salty.IM are deliberately shahed for this reason. So whilst you _may_ know your own inbox address, etc, I (_as an arbitrary bad actor_) wouldn't easily be able to guess (_let alone brute force_) my way to another inbox address of an interested party.

@andros My only comment so far is to use Ed25519 keys for crypto.

EdgeGuard Update:
I am now in a position where I'm no longer having any ports open on my firewall at the Mills DC. 🥳 All services (Gopher, SMTP, IRC, SSH, HTTP) are being proxied through my edge network 💪

Would anyone object to the feeds.twtxt.net service having auth soon™ ? 🤔 I'm tired of the garbage feeds that it has accumulated over tie (_spammers_) and I want to a) clean it up b) lock it down somewhat.
The idea would be that you'd login with your Yarn.social account on some pod you control/operate or share with a nice person 🤣 -- For those unfamiliar, this is called IndieAuth or IndieLogin. ALL Yarn.social pods are in fact valid (_have been for years now_) IndieAuth Providers. So I can just ust that. This also technically means you _could_ login with your own domain too (_more on that later..._)

@hacker-news-newest TL;DR:
> The author recounts their experience with a “no calls” policy in enterprise sales, finding it surprisingly effective. They attribute this success to addressing common reasons for calls—lack of understanding, onboarding issues, pricing uncertainty, and trust concerns—through clear messaging, self-serve onboarding, transparent pricing, and robust security documentation. While acknowledging potential limitations, the author advocates for a #nocalls approach, emphasizing the benefits of efficiency and alignment with their values.

@lyse Who does right 🤣 I wonder if anyone read the ToC(s) of any Yarn pod? 🤔

@arne To be honest I don't _really_ understand why anyone would use Facebook™, X/Twitter™, TikTok™ Instagram™, etc... When it clearly states in their Terms of Conditions that the content you "enter" into _their_ systems, is NOT yours.

@andros Created. Can you try logging in via Github? I had to take a stab/guess at your Email address, which is very clearly wrong, but hopefully you an just update it when you login 🤣🤣

Actually. it's probably fine if you just drop your Github username/profile here. They're all public info anyway 🤣🤣

@andros I _believe_ I disabled new registrations by default due to increase in levels of "spam accounts". If you could email me, or DM me (IRC) your Github username, I'll add an account for you that matches your Github profile and you can sign-in that way.
Respectfully, I will not move any of my projects back to Github after this blog post; hope you can understand, but I'd prefer to stick to my moral values here as much as I can 😅
