1/ "The Architecture of Privacy" by @Ianopolous of @Peergos. 🔐 Privacy is essential for democracy to function. Hear how Ian, an ex-particle physicist turned privacy researcher, is making this possible using extensions to @libp2p at Peergos. #IPFSCamp

All organisations, even non-profits, will shut down if they run out of money. The real question is what can you do when that happens? The best defense is open source servers and easy migration so you can just switch to a different provider.

Skiff was a cool private ~productivity suite. Now they're shutting down after being acquired One more example of how important Signal's 501c3 status is--a structural safeguard protecting privacy in an industry where $ is generally tied to surveillance. arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024…

Encrypted email service Skiff gets acquired, will shut down in six months

Skiff users will lose their @skiff.com email addresses, need to export data ASAP.

We have verifiable streaming and seeking in @Peergos (which is built on @IPFS), but without needing blake3 or bao. Correct me if I'm wrong, but you only need 3 ingredients: 1) a fixed hash function (sha256 for us), 2) a fixed chunk size, 3) a standard merkle-tree structure.

Oh hey! Does anybody know if, now that IPFS counts BLAKE3 as a good hash, it is possible to use the incremental-verification feature of BLAKE3 so you can verify the first chunk of your file from IPFS before you've downloaded the rest of it? github.com/ipfs/go-verifcid/… @_laudiacay

If you want an e2ee social network where the servers see nothing then have a look at @Peergos . If attackers get access to a peergos server they can't read any data.

Too much timing data is available even from encrypted messaging apps, when a passive adversary surveills the network links for a whole country. It might be smart to add some kind of delayed delivery feature. nytimes.com/2023/07/03/techn…

Cracking Down on Dissent, Russia Seeds a Surveillance Supply Chain (Published 2023)

Russia is incubating a cottage industry of new digital surveillance tools to suppress domestic opposition to the war in Ukraine. The tech may also be sold overseas.

@Peergos has taken exceptionally complex primitives and compiled and related them to users in such a simplified way that they’re practically invisible. This is a very powerful paradigm and deserves your attention. This is how we win the web back for users.

Mass surveillance is not about security, but control. Privacy is the bedrock of a free society, allowing us to think, speak, and act without fear. Don't let your rights slip away under the guise of safety. Stand up for privacy, stand up for freedom.

You might be interested in the @peergos protocol which also solves the requirements bluesky lists here - blueskyweb.org/blog/3-6-2022… - as well as other goals like privacy. It's a more ambitious protocol, aiming to be a better, self authenticated social web - peergos.org/posts/decentrali…

My dream has finally come true. I've been working on a 160kb virtual machine named Blink. It's now capable of emulating programs as complex as GCC and Qemu. We can now vendor Linux toolchain binaries in our build configs and have them run across platforms. github.com/jart/blink

This is solving a different problem (data privacy, rather than reader metadata privacy), but work by @Peergos forms a very important part of improving privacy on @IPFS - capability-based block retrieval authorization: peergos.org/posts/bats

Imagine if your social media account was hosted in a git repository. You could choose to use a site like Github, but could also easily move to others like Gitlab or Bitbucket. This is essentially how Bluesky's AT Protocol handles user data.

In my opinion, the biggest weakness of Mastodon is that if you decide you don't like your instance and want to move to another one, you have to start from scratch – new username, new social graph. You're effectively locked into the instance where you first sign up.

You can also link to other such documents and browse back and forth (including using the browser history). It all works in secret links as well. For example: peergos.net/#%7B%22app%22:%2… You could use this as a wiki, and grant people write-access to sections.
