@rimu@mastodon.nzoss.nz Definitely. Offloading the static assets to
nginxis a big win. Varnish adds a layer of serving from memory that takes it up a notch. Like having your own Fastly pop.It does require some configuration nuance to be sure you aren't serving cached assets to the wrong connections (e.g., authenticated
GETrequests that shouldn't be shared beyond a specific session).

Emd to end => Client side encryption. And only you will hold the private keys.
Messages travel via ActivityPub inboxes, but are opaque to the servers.

@bonfire @swf @sovtechfund @benpate is it client or server side?

@acb @bonfire @swf @sovtechfund
This *specific* tech will make private groups, similar to Apple Messages, Signal, and WhatsApp.
It won’t make “Friends Only” posts, but.. both Emissary and Bonfire already provide different flavors of “Circles” that let you choose the visibility of your posts. https://emissary.dev/circles
Id live for other Fediverse tools like Mastodon to add this too.

@bonfire @swf @sovtechfund @benpate Will this mean the possibility of friends-only (i.e. people you select, rather than anyone who follows you) posts on Mastodon/Pixelfed/similar? If ActivityPub ever gets mass adoption, that will be important, because when everyone’s here, so are griefers, trolls, pig-butchers and as yet uncategorised hostile actors.

@soatok @ligasser @bonfire let's start a thread to make sure we are clear amongst ourselves! We all really want to see collaborative and interoperable solutions, especially when so much expert thought has gone into them
-
@alisynthesis The initial idea is that all fediverse apps (clients and servers) should implement the standard for maximum interoperability. But it's definitely worth thinking about what we could do to make that possible in any case!

@bonfire is it feasible that someone could build a chat client that would let any Fediverse account privately talk with any other Fediverse account?
Because that would be insanely cool.

@ligasser @bonfire Not sure, but:
