@silverpill @cmdrmoto Yeah, true. Per definition a blockchain has nothing to do with a currency, it's just an append-only database following some kind of consensus.I'm just thinking about the scalability implications of this very append-only system.Scalability from a disk-space perspective. It just grows and grows without any way to really "stop" the size.With time this will centralise to some few nodes that have the financial capacity to buy more and more disks.

The best proof that ActivityPub doesn't need JSON-LD: I have written three or so implementations and I still got no real clue how the fuck JSON-LD works

New #Kitsune release!A day later than promised yesterday, I guess, but I got it done eventually!(mostly because I was wrestling with cargo-dist but I got it working eventually)Shoutout to @zeerooth and @tesaguri for contributing to this release!Really fast post parser, notifications, OpenTelemetry, dedicated job runner, and more!Now with pre-built binaries for Windows, MacOS, and Linux with install scripts for PowerShell and Bash!https://github.com/kitsune-soc/kitsune/releases/tag/v0.0.1-pre.4#fedidev #activitypub

@zeerooth @tesaguri Note that this release fixes a vulnerability related to unverified object IDs which would allow an attacker to impersonate a user.CVSS string: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:NAdvisory here: https://github.com/kitsune-soc/kitsune/security/advisories/GHSA-5prv-r7jg-vrf7

Also Kitsune is probably gonna use nightly from now on. Because "async fn in trait", some improved diesel diagnostics, and some better SIMD performance I'm hoping to make Kitsune even faster. Just because.

Also Dalek Cryptography's curve25519 operations have nice parallel formulas using nightly stdsimd. Meaning if I finally get to porting the HTTP signatures over to pure Rust cryptography, that could give some nice boost in performance.Well, in the edge case that someone actually uses Ed25519, which nobody does because Mastodon doesn't support it for some god damn reason.So we are stuck with the slow and fragile RSA system and gigantic keys just because.

This is actually pissing me off. And the maintainers are just ghosting the issue that asks for updating the HTTP signatures Implementation

Hah, the last comment on the issue is mine asking whether they'd be open to at least adding Ed25519 support. From around 6 months ago. :nervous:

Side-sidenote: I wish we could utilize batch verification of Ed25519 signatures for inboxes. That would be really cool for performance reasons. But unfortunately you don't really get feedback from the batch formulas on which messages were valid and which weren't. So that's not really useful unless you wanna drop an entire batch of messages just because one happened to be malformed.

@silverpill is there an FEP about multiple keys attached to an actor? I skimmed over the index but haven't seen one? Because if that's the case, that might be something to put on the roadmap since I personally very much prefer Ed25519 over damn RSA

@silverpill it's time to let RSA die. Finally.

if i can help it, the kitsune ui will channel the energy of corteximplant.net's take on the akkoma fe at least partially

mmap is that one syscall you use with good intentions but will end up pissing in your cereal. i will not elaborate further.
