  1. @RoastbeefHashTag Howdy! What do you want to know?

    The good: Bonfire and #Emissary delivered interoperable prototypes at the end of June.

    The bad: With this experience, we're still updating the protocol to account for some very specific encryption/delivery issues. So, we haven't launched #E2EE on our own servers.

    So, Emissary's (my) messenger is actually live, and usable on Bandwagon.fm -- however, it's only trading *unencrypted* messages for now, until we lock down some protocol decisions.

  2. RE: mastodon.social/@benpate/11687

    That is amazing.
    An open source project gets a complete QA scan.
    Congrats @benpate and #emissary for having such a milestone archived.

  3. #Emissary is currently undergoing its first colonoscopy - a full QA scan by a third-party QA company..

    I've done these in the past with other software. They're always informative, always make the software better, and are always a tremendous pain in the ass to fix.

    When the anesthesia wears off, I'm gonna need a cookie.

  4. I'm excited to share my progress on the new "Conversations" app for #Emissary. If you've been watching the SWF end-to-end encrypted (#E2EE) messaging project this should look familiar.

    But the Conversations app can also send regular, unencrypted "direct messages" too. Here's an exchange with a Mastodon server.

    Wagoneers on #Bandwagon will be some of the first to try this out - though I'm probably not activating E2EE on Bandwagon.

    I'm hoping this enables many new kinds of apps on Emissary.

  5. I can't explain how excited I am to be able to speak with @[email protected] tomorrow, May 27th at 14:00 US Eastern time (UTC-4).

    If you don't know Evan, he is co-editor of ActivityPub, the W3C standard for decentralized social networking used by platforms such as #Mastodon , #Bonfire , #GoToSocial , #Peertube , #Owncast , #Loops , #PixelFed , #Emissary , #Fedify , #FlohMarkt , #Lemmy , #Piefed , #WriteFreely , #Friendica , #GNUSocial , #Threads , #NodeBB , #Funkwhale , #Gancio , #Mobilizon , #BookWyrm , and MANY MANY MANY MORE + whatever YOU create next!

    I've been speaking with folks and they've given him a very special nickname. You'll have to tune in tomorrow of catch the #VOD to catch it.

  6. #Fediverse, I need your help.

    I have a budget for a small contract to improve #Emissary, and am looking for a talented web designer to create a new default theme for the server.

    Highlights:
    * Probably ~60 hours of work
    * Anywhere in the world
    * Must be a good person

    Details are here:

    If you know someone who's great with HTML+CSS+Design, and is looking for a short gig, please share this with them :)

  7. @[email protected] yes. I'm running it right now. I'm also trying out #Emissary on a test instance.

  8. I'm so excited for this next year on the #Fediverse.

    And the more I learn, the more I think #BridgyFed is going to become a foundational part of our network.

    I just posted my first messages from #Emissary across Bridgy to my account on BlueSky.

    I still have some things to fix (on my end, not theirs) but it worked.

    IT WORKED.

    NGL, I feel a little like Morpheus right now. And just think of what it will mean for every account set up on #Bandwagon...

  9. Whenever they write the Wikipedia article about E2EE, I just want a footnote in there...

    #Mastodon was the artillery, the big guns that made the difference. #Bonfire and #Emissary were the special forces recon teams that made it possible.

  10. @GreenSkyOverMe

    As I understand it, Mastodon is building to the MLS in ActivityPub spec from the SWF - the same one #Bonfire and #Emissary are building to today. So it will be compatible with those.

    I think Hollos uses the Signal protocol, which is similar, but not the same as MLS.

    What other #E2EE solutions are you referring to?

  12. @MirrorAyako
    Ouch, yes.

    But I love how that is actually a critical point for them. He can't shake that point in time - and they want to understand why. Meeting aliens - that are really *alien* - is thrilling, awesome.

  13. The series opening for DS9 may be the wildest ride of any Trek series start. Wormhole aliens? Character and scene jumps? 90s beach gear?

  14. Poor Sisko has to relive this Jennifer trauma just so the wormhole aliens can understand linear time.
