haven't felt this energized in a while 🔋 We're building a proof-of-concept E2EE library & demo on AT Protocol, using BeeKEM for DCGKA. There's a long road between a PoC and a foundation we can all depend on, but every journey has a first step🐾 bsky.app/profile/bosc... bsky.app/profile/expe...

With #AT-SMS we are committed to building group messaging support on top of the most promising decentralized continuous group key agreement (DCGKA). No candidates yet, tho. I think a few more implementations are needed to make the IETF discussions fruitful. bsky.app/profile/bosc...

Every time my AI uses perl to accomplish a task, I'm reminded that we are standing on the shoulders of giants. 💪

i'm going to start talking like my AI One thing worth flagging: it will be obvious to anyone that spends their afternoons with Claude Code.

i've noticed that Claude (fable/opus) has started referencing time a lot more, mentioned that such and such was stuff we did "this week" or "yesterday"...

lfg! 👀

Spent the summer frolicking barefoot through the enchanted forest, humming little tunes, peeking under mossy logs and behind toadstools… Looking for that mythical decentralized continuous group key agreement 🦄🌳🔍 found it! ✨ time to build 🛠️

curious how the Cambrian explosion of “decentralized control” & “edge-user empowerment” happened completely independently of the IETF 🤔

"The Internet isn't value-neutral, and neither is the IETF. We want the Internet to be useful for communities that share our commitment to openness and fairness. We embrace technical concepts such as decentralized control, edge-user empowerment, and sharing of resources." (2004)

buzz.xyz is a cool idea. Nostr's simplicity and light-weight public key based IDs makes it fertile ground for experimentation like this

chat, is it safe to assume when I see the term "load-bearing" the text was cooked by AI?

Most productive bug of the year

alex benzer@alexbenzer.com · 2w ago

there was a recent bug in the Bluesky app that caused some people's chat permission settings to switch to "No one" we already fixed the bug, but folks may want to double-check their settings to make sure they are set the way they want. go here: bsky.app/messages/set... look for these settings:

"BeeKEM performs competitively with OpenMLS when connectivity is good. It also handles partitions that would take MLS offline, at a cost in efficiency."

This is the most exciting thing I've seen on 🦋 since joining! No more centralized servers needed for encrypted group chat!

📃🐝✨ Excited to share a preprint about BeeKEM, a decentralized / local-first variant of MLS's TreeKEM (group E2EE) that we designed at @inkandswitch.com. Huge thanks to our coauthors for the writeup and empirical analysis — even we were pleasantly surprised by the performance results 📊

I know this isn't @bsky.app's "fault", but it really doesn't matter, it means I'm out. 1️⃣ I'm not going to verify on principle 2️⃣ I'm not going to run a VPN What is the best ATProto client that doesn't have this nonsense? If I can't find one I guess no more AT Proto for me.

wow, just wow... 😥

🚨 #ChatControl 1.0 HAS PASSED - despite a majority voting against it (314:276) 🚨 After the EU parliament has rejected #ChatControl TWICE in the past, it has been pushed as an urgent procedure for a new plenary vote. TODAY the EU parliament has voted YES for #ChatControl 1.0😡

While Europeans are all focused on the World Cup their gov is voting away privacy. fightchatcontrol.eu

where was this statement when Ronaldo got his suspension postponed so he could play in this World Cup? when your institutions are corrupt, don't be surprised when corrupt people exploit them sad day for the Beautiful Game ⚽

VEEERRRRY punchy statement by UEFA on the reversal of the American red-card suspension. And quite right, too. "We express our disbelief at such an unprecedented, incomprehensible and unjustifiable decision." www.uefa.com/news-media/n...

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." Happy 250 🇺🇸

I cannot find the superlative that adequately conveys how much I agree with this! If DNS would have been decentralized instead of hierarchical, maybe we could have avoided this pain. bnewbold.leaflet.pub/3mph4hzvbdc2...

Why AT URIs are not valid under IETF RFC-3986, what the impact is, and some possible ways forward.

The cryptographers on this app will talk about how awesome RCS is because it is standards-based E2EE without acknowledging that the underlying standards are a recipe for centralizing the operators. We need a different way forward.

GrapheneOS@grapheneos.org · last mo.

RCS isn't truly an open standard or open ecosystem. It isn't open to anyone making a client working with any carriers which can interoperate with the Apple and Google implementations. Google does device integrity checks which supposedly exist to combat spam without testing it works on GrapheneOS.

Dear FIFA, Thanks for another brilliant idea to ruin the beautiful game! ⚽ Four quarters now, just like basketball and American football. 🙄 Totally coincidental that it lets you cram in more commercials during those "mandatory hydration breaks" right?

I’m starting to think the hydration break at 23 minutes is on purpose to allow more commercials during the game 💦 ⚽️

Instructions are in the repo. It's still early days and not production-ready, but I'd love to hear your thoughts given the stakes of your work. We're trying to learn from real apps and understand where this model works well, where it falls short, and what research remains to make it practical.
