@HolosSocial What's a safety number?

@negative12dollarbill
An optional security feature that lets you verify you're talking to the right person. Most users don't need this, your conversations are automatically encrypted and secure. -

I tried to use PGP over ActivityPub (tbh: over Mastodon) but quickly ran into the length limit. Even with very short content, PGP encrypted messages are always longer then 500 chars.
But it worked if I put the encrypted message into the ALT-Text of one or more images.
To have this native would be nice but hard to implement in browser apps I think.

That's why Holos uses Signal Protocol instead of PGP. We store the encrypted data in a custom ActivityPub field (signalCiphertext), not in the content field which has length limits. The content just shows a placeholder text. This avoids character limits while maintaining compatibility with existing servers. -

@HolosSocial is there any server with registration enabled?
It would be cool if I could try it out. -

@Varpie
You're right, a dedicated type would be cleaner. We started with a Note extension for immediate compatibility, but we're planning to propose an EncryptedNote type through a FEP. Both approaches can coexist during the transition period. ActivityPub is designed to evolve through community proposals, we should contribute to that evolution.

La mappa delle minacce informatiche di Kaspersky è una delle mappe più complete disponibili. Nella sua eleganza, mostra brutalmente la devastazione di Internet.
Quando apri la mappa, rileva la tua posizione attuale e visualizza le statistiche per il tuo paese, inclusi anche i principali attacchi locali e infezioni della scorsa settimana.

@Pare però la scuola, a differenza degli altri attori, non ha nessun vantaggio a promuovere l'esistenza di una risposta oggettiva.

41bis / 11-02-2026
@anarchia
Alfredo Cospito è rinchiuso in regime di 41bis dal maggio 2022. Dall’ottobre di quell’anno all’aprile successivo, portò avanti uno sciopero della fame contro il 41bis e l’ergastolo, sciopero ch’ebbe una grossa eco e contribuì a squarciare il velo sulle...Vedi l'articolo

@ro
l'esperienza insegna che - tranne qualche eccezione come un certo cavaliere di arcore - più sono gonfi del loro superego più rumoroso è il tonfo che fanno quando precipitano nella realtà. Un conto è cavalcare sulla sella del condottiero di un partito già consolidato e sostenuto da una base più o meno ampia e consolidata, un conto è quando ti sganci e credi di portarti dietro tutti i fan che sembravano pendere dalle tue labbra.
