@coolboymew Quality hardware lol

@roboneko @i2p @torproject @z3r0fox @mint I say more restrictive, but the need/possibility for extensions is explicitly acknowledged.

@roboneko @i2p @torproject @z3r0fox @mint Outside of DID-style shenanigans to do otherwise would also be extension/incompatible with the standard.

@roboneko @i2p @torproject @z3r0fox @mint It pretty heavily relies on the synchronous HTTP interaction for most things.

Sure, you could make some form of proxy that does inline translation to something else, but then that something else isn't covered by the standard.

Objects could in theory move (breaking assumptions in most implementations) but nothing exists to signal such moves in the standard.

Might be more restrictive depending on how you interpret this: https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/#x3-1-object-identifiers

@mint @roboneko @i2p @torproject @z3r0fox So new keys would also need extensions to the protocol for sharing.

Starts to be quite a few. It's weird to make a federation protocol in this day & age and not consider peering difficulties and inability to communicate directly (fuck, #Usenet does it better via #UUCP & #NNCP).

China isn't the only regime with a hard-on for censorship and utter disregard for the sanctity of networks after all. That should have been part of the design considerations.

@mint @roboneko @i2p @torproject @z3r0fox Ah, I'd been under the impression some directly shared Activities in a manner that required active support from the instance software with the goal of full eventual consistency between relay peers.

That is indeed a lot less useful.

@z3r0fox @i2p @torproject Very little @ immunity.

Federating with the rest of the world is an unsolved issue with relays as a main option at the moment (which only works for other users of the relay).

@roboneko @i2p @torproject @z3r0fox @mint In this case, I'd mean for primarily/only mixnet instances, such that the admin also doesn't have the liability that comes with the #clearnet.

At the moment, last I checked, mixed transport network federation is between buggy & non-functional outside of depending on relays.

@jeff Wait, so currently failures don't result in requeuing for later retries and dropping after persistent failure (like email does after a while)?

@coolboymew @jeder A quick demonstration of the importance of having a staging environment.

@ringo @roboneko @newt Laser-printed spots on paper vs punched holes?

I think the print might work slightly better, as I feel too many holes would weaken the paper too much.

@xianc78 @PurpCat @dalias @Obdurodon @jeff Main issue with self-hosting is that it also has very high risks of self-doxing.

As for honeypots, it doesn't really matter, I don't trust email to remain confidential overall (much of it I use solely for registrations or posting to public mailing lists anyway), I just want different identities to remain compartmentalized.

@jeff @xianc78 @dalias @Obdurodon @PurpCat Fully peer-to-peer/self-hosted approach on something like #I2P can be, as there are no unencrypted hops at any point in-between the source & destination.

#Clearnet #email is fucked, like most things on the clearnet.

@PurpCat @dalias @Obdurodon @jeff It did until very recently, but now trying to make one from #Tor has gotten inordinately difficult and presents a bootstrapping problem due to them trying asking for an existing email and blocking every single temporary mail service they know of.

@PurpCat @dalias @Obdurodon @jeff I'm inclined to say that's a good thing, not requiring emails.

Not necessarily because it is per se... but because acquiring an email without having to dox yourself has gotten stupidly annoying these days.

@dalias @Obdurodon It's not as if that's not repeatable behavior literally anywhere else.

@dalias @Obdurodon I honestly don't get how #Reddit caught on when it's just a crummier ripoff of #Usenet.

@LunaFoxgirlVT If you've indeed taken that different path, then comparing yourself along the lines encouraged by the normal system is inevitably going to be depressing, since you're not living the kind of life it prescribes.

@LunaFoxgirlVT Guess that's another thing I achieved early, hah.

It does feel hollow.

@Moon @coolboymew Cats laugh at your feeble attempts.
