In-reply-to » Sorry if anyone saw my last Yarn here... I deleted it, I was wrong. Looks like everything is encrypted attachments phew but my other concerns above still stand.

@tamer@twtxt.net We’re not trying to compete with anything… If you’ve read About Yarn.social – In a nutshell I want to create an open, transparent social platform that respect’s folks privacy and freedoms. It must also be easy to use and down-to-earth where human interactions actually matter. None of this rubbish of manipulating what you see, driving up engagement numbers to serve your advertisers and all that garbage

Autocrypt - Wikipedia

Just reading in-depth and trying to understand the security model of Delta.Chat a bit more… There’s a few things that really concern me about how Delta.Chat which relies on Autocrypt work:

  • There is no Perfect Forward Secrecy
  • No verification of keys
    • Is therefore susceptible to Man-in-the-Middle attacks
  • Metadata is a BIG problem with Delta.Chat:
    • The To and From and Date are trackable by your Mail provider (amongst many other headers)

In-reply-to » πŸ‘‹ Q&A: Let's discuss the removal of Editing and Deleting your last Twt. This is something @fastidious has raised to me on IRC and something I find quite a valid approach to this. Over time I believe the utility and value of "Editing" and "Deleting" one's last Twt isn't as valuable as we'd like and increased complexity and introduces all kinds of side-effects that are hard to manage correctly. I vote for the removal of this feature from yarnd, the mobile app nor API support this anyway...

@movq@www.uninformativ.de i believe the delete of any twt was a tech limitation with retwt parser not knowing where in the file a twt came from. lextwt tracks the bytes in file where a twt was read from. which could be used to delete a twt from file.. in theory.

In-reply-to » @eldersnake Is there still an issue (sortt was out for most of the day) with the We πŸ’š Privacy Club pod? πŸ€” I hope no weird bug has been introduced 😒 AFIK none of the auth/session handling code has been touched in quite some time.

@prologic@twtxt.net

I think something has caused my feed to be in a bad state and is now unpardableπŸ˜₯

I can read this on jenny, but the twt isn’t making it to my own pod. Something has gone really wrong, me thinks.
