Ha, another proof how decentralized internet is a must!
Our Wizard Amigos learner from Pakistan just notified me he can't watch our workshop because there are protests against the government happening and the government of course shut down all the main sites (including youtube).
So... I just started transitioning all the workshop videos to the Peertube. And voila, Pakistan is back in business <3
Lol, just had a bug where I wasn't able to trigger #agregore to download a file from #IPFS due to it being interpreted as a text file (it was a @webrecorder WACZ file).
To work around this I opened up the dev tools and set `document.body.innerHTML = '<a download href="ipfs://whatever/webarchive.wacz">Download</a>' which replaced the page with a link to trigger a download of the file.
Honestly, I wish all apps had a devtools feature so I could mess around with their guts.
by the way, I'm planning to switch two speech to text for most of my typing needs in the near future so expect my grammar to have a bunch of misplaced words.
also, I'm gonna stop bothering with capitalizing for the first letter of each sentence since I mostly using this for programming and that's adding the code for it would make coding more annoying.
one more thing on this topic, what's cool is that of this is pretty much how the #gemini protocol handles authentication.
it happens at the tls level and means there's less stuff that you need to do to authenticate a session and manage credentials.

@smitten@snowdin.town I think I linked two an example in node in the original thread, but honestly since browsers aren't implementing it anymore it probably isn't worth pursuing.
@tasket also in general it's just more "standard", but I guess password managers are getting integrated at the operating system level now to so they're just as standard 🤷
@tasket I think one thing that is different from password managers in this scenario is that you can use your key instead of an email+password combo and could potentially reuse credentials more easily. also has an obvious path for hardware keys
@smitten@snowdin.town yeah! it's a pretty similar concept. I think one thing that's different is that this happens at a lower level and as a lot more standardized then password managers.
I think right now even with pass keys applications end up having a billion different ways of actually inputting credentials where as this has one unified way that lets you easily reuse public keys between sites.
they could have been synchronized between devices just as easily I think
@smitten@snowdin.town Mind rephrasing that? Having a bit of trouble parsing what you mean.
one thing that this thing is sorely missing though is a gps and a cellular modem. I still wish I could use map software to navigate around and I also wish I had more pile internet connection and access to my text messages without having to have a separate device for it
using my smartphone feel so incredibly limiting after using my steam deck on the go. I think the main thing is that it's so much harder to customize and to use keyboard shortcuts that having to find the push and swipe all the time. especially now that I have my speech to text set up to a point where it's more useful. like, I had speech to text on my android at one point it's such a huge pain in the ass to make any customization to it. whereas on my deck I can just edit my python script

@mauve Omg, seriously. Back in 2016, when browsers started pulling support for generating client certs, I basically spent a year creating a new cross-domain authn system for the Solid Project (it relied solely on client certs before that).
But I still think about the kind of awesome world we could have had, had the vendors supported client certs properly. Just boggles the mind.
@dmitri I'll mourn for the world that never was. 😭

like the one where your identity is your mobile phone number right? making metadata really trivially attributable??? the one where you can't make an account using only a desktop computer? "doesn't suck"??

We've been punching above our weight at @ddosecrets: we're a small transparency team with a shoestring budget, but hosting over 100 TiB of documents, operating search engines for some of those datasets, and fielding data requests from journalists and researchers, all costs money. If you can donate today, or share our fundraiser, your support right now means the world to us.
