  1. Breaking! Well, not really, I'm a day late. #Keytrace launched publicly! Keytrace is the alternative to #Keybase for verying your accounts. One could say it's like #Keyoxide too but lives in the ATmosphere network.

  3. I registered for #KeyBase then I thought,,,, certainly there must be some #FOSS etc version, right?

    Yes, there is @Keyoxide – but that last time that acct tooted was 2024 and the last time the official blog was updated was 2023!

    Is it a dead project? 🤔

    Plus, the Getting Started page is intimidating AF for a non-geeky person lime me! docs.keyoxide.org/getting-star

    Is there a better FOSS-y KeyBase alternative?

    Thx

  4. spent time creating and adding to my #Keyoxide profile, during which I came across some interesting things popping up. #Anime sites just don't work for me for some reason (#MAL, #Anilist, #Anime-Planet, #Anisocial, etc.). #TikTok has an 80-character limit on their bio.

    upon rereading that and reflecting on the tone: i actually like keyoxide in general.

  5. Twitter/X: come verificare la tua identità senza pagare con Mastodon

    Da quando Elon Musk ha trasformato la storica spunta blu di Twitter in un servizio a pagamento da 3 a 38 euro al mese, molti si sono chiesti: esiste davvero un'alternativa gratuita e credibile per verificare la propria identità online? La risposta è sì, e si chiama Mastodon. Ma non è solo una questione di prezzo: è un modo completamente diverso alla verifica dell'identità digitale, più trasparente, decentralizzato e anche più sicuro. In questo articolo ti racconto come funziona la […]

  6. Just felt like recounting my experience migrating away from #Keybase over to #Keyoxide. Many thanks to the @keyoxide team for the awesome work! ❤️

    Please feel free to reply to this thread or in the blog comments with corrections, if I got anything wrong.

    Thanks for reading! 🤗

  7. Introducing WKD Tester – a free, open-source tool for testing OpenPGP Web Key Directory implementations! I built it to help out with the Keyoxide project, making it easier to generate lookup URIs and discover keys on the fly. Check it out at wkd.dp42.dev.

  8. You may have noticed that I updated my #Keyoxide profile link in various places. That was legit – my old RSA #OpenPGP key had expired back in early November without me noticing, and yesterday, I created a new #ed25519 key. If you still see my old Keyoxide link somewhere, please tell me. #pgp #rsa

    First, however, I had to manually update #GPG to version 2.4 by compiling it from source. 🤡

  9. I stumbled across Keyoxide today. I gave it a shot, created and uploaded an ASP [1]. Now I have my own profile [2] that verifies some of my identities, neat! Adding my mail throws an error message though. I use WKD to publish my OpenPGP key [3]. I learned that my mail address is therefore already discovered by keyoxide.org [4], can't be used twice as it seems.

  10. Schon klar, warum sich verschlüsselte E-Mail nicht durchsetzen.

    Ich dachte, wissend und vorbereitet zu sein, doch ich irrte. Vergeblich schlage ich mich seit Stunden mit #gpg, #keyoxide und #Schlüssel herum und drehe mich inzwischen im Kreis. Keine Ahnung, woran es hakt, dass ich eine verschlüsselte Mail nicht öffnen kann. Und bevor ich zum HB-Männchen mutiere, lasse ich es bleiben und rufe allen Verweigerern zu: Ich verstehe euch!

    Verschlüsselung? Rutsch mir doch den Buckel runter 😡

  11. Another set of sshd-openpgp-auth and ssh-openpgp-auth releases is out:
    This server and client-side tooling for managing the #authentication of #SSH host keys with the help of an #OpenPGP #certificate as trust anchor is now feature complete.

  12. We have just issued the first #release of #sshd-openpgp-auth and #ssh-openpgp-auth.

    Using this server and client-side tooling it is possible to manage the #authentication of #SSH host keys with the help of an #OpenPGP certificate as trust anchor.

  13. ## Two Dixie Cups and a piece of string

    ### Oh my goodness\!

    Okay first of all, I use #Matrix and #Jabber - #XMPP w/ #OMEMO, primarily.

    I typically don't even regularly give out my email address nowadays, and more and more over the past four years or so, find myself publishing a #Fediverse address for myself too as a contact point.

    Most often, if you ask me for my #email address I'll give you my Matrix address.

    If someone wants to email me then I figure they can get that from my #PGP fingerprint or #Keyoxide.

    If they don't know what a #keyserver is or where any of them are located then I just figure they're to dumb to use email.

    Yes. As a technologist, I'm at times, rather arrogant, opinionated, discriminatory, and condescending... But only sometimes. The rest of the time I'm patient, attentive, empathetic, and accommodating.

    Basically, if i know you don't know shit I'm a nice guy, yet if you pretend to be an all that jazz hipster know it all, then it's quite likely you'll find that I'm pretty much a full on dikhed. Spelled just like that too.

    Beginning in the later eighties I think, and then the nineties they called us #BOFH. That's an acronym for someone who might already have forgotten more than you will ever know. I knew a few old Mainframe engineers with Honeywell and IBM when I was a young programmer - those guys were Gods and could tell you how many wraps of copper to make around a toroid if you had an emergency and needed to make an in the field replacement of your memory - Gods. #SuperFreakyGeeks, having already, back then, forgotten more than you or I will ever know.

    They called me #Whizkid, coz I was learning shit that they were never gonna bother with - they're gonna retire soon in Mexico with boats, babes, and beers.

    But I digress. I do that.

    ### Back to secure communications...

    When it comes to Signal, I know a lot of you really like it. I have little use for it. It bleeds my DID and farms everyone's contact databases - "bing! Ex stalker bitch girlfriend just joined signal. Say hello!" What the fuck?

    Well I guess she's still got me in her contacts lolz. Fuckin' bitch.

    ### Ummm... Yeah I'll pass.

    I actually only use Signal with people who already have my #DID (phone number) anyway.

    Recently, a colleague flew a cray cray route to Thailand, via #LAX to #NYC, then #Qatar. Signal works on jetliner's #WiFi too, and isn't dependant on cellular services.

    Good choice, but I'm still wondering why his "safety number" changed after he departed #New_York and before arriving in #Thailand - he neither reinstalled nor switched to a new device. But that's another matter.

    Sounds a little cloak & dagger fishy to me.

    Anyway, I hadn't actually used #Signal in a while, and left it muted for a few months.

    To my surprise... #Stories! Yay! Stories!

    Wait, what are Stories? You mean like #YouTube or #InstaSPAM? And I'm assuming like they have in #Whaaaasup (never used it, never will)?

    Ummm... I just tucked that little nugget of, I guess, good news away, not really knowing even how to process news of the introduction of such a useless fucking feature.

    Until now.

    Without further adieu, I defer to @how , one of our more prominently distinguished members in the Fediverse community, for his novel, clever, and appropriate recommendation:

  15. Mastodon Konto verifizieren mit GPG

    Mittels Keyoxide kann eine dezentrale sichere Online-Identität gebildet werden, die sich beispielsweise zur Verifizierung eines Mastodon Accounts eignet.

  16. @cameron @jamescridland

    Where are these discussions taking place?

    And what's wrong with email? I suppose using #ETH addresses for login, or #RetroShare, something like that might work, but you're still tied to DNS otherwise if that is the big beef with email... Just speculating though, which is why I asked.

    If #DNS isn't the offender, then perhaps the simplest would be #Keyoxide, #Matrix, #Fediverse address or #XMPP account verification?

  17. @darius

    Almost forgot to mention Darius, #Keyoxide is perhaps the best method for verification in today's #DeSoc world of the #Fediverse and even the deprecated legacy monolithic silos like #Faceplant, #Twatter, #InstaSPAM, etc.

  18. @sotolf @dyamon hey there, thanks for the summoning 🙂

    Happy to see you found my project. is a partial replacement for the now largely abandoned .

    They had a great idea (identity) but because of they had to build additional services (storage, social network, git) in order to get an out.

    Keyoxide does one thing and does it well. And, of course, in a fully open source manner. Decentralized, open standards and no blockchains.
