  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.

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

  5. #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.

  7. 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.

  11. #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:
    benpate.dev/20260601-html-desi

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

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

  15. 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...

  17. 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.

  19. @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?

    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.

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