#dataownership — Public Fediverse posts

Wrt my previous post, yesterday I was setting up Affine on my SO's phone to finally get off our iCloud shared Notes

Everything works well, get the app, configure the server URL, login in with OIDC... Woops, 503 error

PocketID had been descheduled and left hanging after a failing node took the longhorn lock in its downfall

A quick lock release and boom, we are back to business, all notes are in both of our phones, and with realtime editing !

Twenty-two import sources. The social network roster is closed.

Bluesky, Facebook, Instagram, Mastodon, Pixelfed, Threads, Twitter/X — plus every blog platform worth naming, and one more kind for the ones that don't exist any more.

Yes, it's a blog engine. You can also point it at everything you ever wrote on somebody else's website.

95 % of the posts in my Facebook export were not written on Facebook.

They were mirrored in from Twitter, Posterous, the whole crosspost era. The importer recognises them and skips them, with a count — the platforms they actually came from have their own exports, and those carry the originals.

Ask for the export. From all of them.

3 hours to v1.0. 🚀

The part I'm proudest of: it imports your Tumblr, Twitter archive, WordPress export, Mastodon and Pixelfed data. Not into a database — into plain text files in a folder you own.

I moved over 13,000 of my own posts through it. That's how it got written.

No database. No gems. No admin. Just ./blog.sh

Decentralized browser-based P2P E2EE messaging.

The key detail that sets this apart from other messaging apps is the browser-based client-side cryptography philosophy.

No need to install anything. Your ID is crypto-random and so the app doesnt need to rely on any central registration system like phone numbers. Your ID is unguessable and to connect to someone, you have to explicitly share it.

WebRTC has other nuances like being to route through a shared network for secure/faster transfer.

I hope this project has reached a level i can share the following details. I've made a genuine effort towards documentation and transparancy. I dont think it'll ever be enough and so im still concerned it isnt ready to share. While im using AI throughout. This is not a vibecoded project. There is attention throughout for unit tests and formal-verification. With your feedback, id like to make improvements for clarity throughout.

This version of the app demonstrates a fairly unique approach using a browser-based, local-only and webrtc approach. I know it's impossible for any system to be the "world's most secure", but that isnt a reason to not try. By rigorously implementing an exhaustive list of security features and practices, the aim is to get as close as possible.

This is intended to demonstrate client-side managed secure cryptography.

I know ive tried to compress a lot of my journey into one post. The project above is going to be tricky to understand. Feel free to reach out for clarity on any of the details.

Day 290

If a journalist eventually finds it, the story waiting for them is no longer “Amazon misspelled an actor’s name.”

It is:

“A German woman spent nearly a year documenting a systemic catalogue-integrity problem while every major stakeholder said, in one form or another, that responsibility belonged somewhere else.”

I'd like to share the latest version of my project.

It's a a decentralised P2P messaging app. The aim is of course privacy and security.

It demonstrates a fairly unique approach by using browser-based local-only storage with webrtc.

Oh, look! Another *revolutionary* idea: let users decide where their data goes! 🚀 Because who wouldn't want the privilege of navigating the labyrinth of BaaS, triplestores, and serverless authorization? 🙄 Meanwhile, GitHub's throwing AI and automation at everything, apparently hoping we'll all just forget what real development looks like. 🤖🔧

🚨 ALERT: Tech bro discovers that data ownership is as elusive as #Bigfoot 🦶—after diving into ATProto's murky waters, he realizes that PDS operators might as well be his doppelgängers! 🤯 Shockingly, the article fails to mention that the real horror is the author's newfound understanding of his own insignificance. 😂

Fahmi Reza, an activist, told the story that authorities asked Fahmi Reza for passwords.

The "privacy" you think you have in Malaysia is an illusion.

Authorities have a legal backdoor into your entire digital existence. Under Section 249 of the Communications & Multimedia Act (CMA), police can demand your passwords, PINs, or biometrics during an investigation.

Here is the creepy part: Refusing to unlock your phone IS the crime itself.

They don't need to crack sophisticated encryption; they just crack you with the threat of immediate arrest for "obstruction." You become a criminal just for trying to protect your data dignity.

And it's getting worse. The incoming #Pindaan2025 amendments propose escalating penalties for non-compliance up to a staggering RM1 MILLION fine or 5 YEARS in prison.

This isn't about fighting crime; it's an infrastructure designed to force compliance through state-sanctioned fear. Your digital mind is yours only until they ask for it. Wake up.

I wish there would be end-to-end encrypted, federated micro-blog social media. Social media entries and media aren't stored in plain text, but rather encrypted on the server, and only users who have subscribed to them have the ability to decrypt it.

One of the things I've been advocating for years - and where I want to raise my voice even louder - is the importance of owning your data. #OwnYourData

Over the past few days, I’ve come across two examples of how misinformation is causing immense damage, leading people to believe that there's no alternative but to hand over their data to big corporations, putting themselves entirely in their hands.

- A well-known lawyer, just before a meeting, warned about using Teams and its new "virtual assistant," which joins conferences before anyone else and transcribes everything. When I pointed out that it would be wise to use alternative tools (like Jitsi, for example, but there are others), he abruptly ended the conversation, saying, "We've lost this war. There's no alternative anymore."
That wasn’t the right moment for a detailed discussion, so I just noted that alternatives do exist - but if no one starts using them, and if we passively accept certain behaviors from certain companies, things will never improve for us.

- Just now, I received another one of those emails that hurt more in the heart than in the wallet: "Our e-commerce is taking off, so we’re moving it to Shopify to better manage our growth."
I replied, trying to explain that handing over a growing e-commerce business to a third-party company (right now, they have full access to their own server - meaning all their databases, data, etc., are under their control) means losing ownership of it. Prices could change at any moment, contract terms could shift negatively, and, worst case scenario, if Shopify itself faced issues (which seems impossible today, but think of giants like Kodak), they could lose everything. Of course, they’ll do what they think is best, but I feel obligated to warn them.

Luckily, others are making the opposite choice. But I keep wondering: since these big platforms aren’t exactly cheap, rather than "selling themselves" to them just for (potentially) fewer headaches, wouldn’t it be worth paying someone (not me, of course, but someone working exclusively for them) to handle these things - ensuring they retain full ownership of their business and their data?

Whenever we start talking or explaining #ssi we focus on #dataownership and #usercentrisity. It is critical criteria, but it is not a game changer. You could find a lot of #administrative systems that offer it to some extent. For me, the essence of the self-sovereign system - is the untakable right to make a statement on behalf of yourself. Every member has equal possibilities and rights. You could simultaneously be an asset owner, issuer authority, or verification party. it is a gamechanger
