  1. NEWSCARD: Decentralized, Encrypted Paste Bin via Usenet Newsgroups

    • NEWSCARD * Publish and fetch permanent named records via Network News

    Newscard creates a decentralized, encrypted, named record paste bin.

    [git repo] https://codeberg.org/OCTADE/newscard (use most recent version only)

    With a single command, name the card, snarf the file and encrypt it.

    With another command, push the encrypted file to the public network.

    With another short command, snarf a file from the network.

    Only users knowing the name [key] of the record will be able to decrypt it.

    If a strong passphrase is used to name the file, it will be very secure.

    This is useful for quickly snarfing, encrypting, and publishing a text file:

    $~: card enc [passphrase] [file]
    $~: card put [passphrase]

    It is useful for retrieving a text file with just a key:

    $~: card get [passphrase]
    $~: card show [passphrase]

    If and when you want the general public to access the record just share the keyword.

    Newscard uses nine (9) (NINE) layers of encryption with OpenSSL chacha20 cipher.

    Newscard generates 9 each of: cipher keys, salts, key iteration parameters.

    It would be nice if something like this were added to the ActivityPub protocol, such that keyword[@]host.url would do the same thing. Then secret text records could be stored securely for later retrieval or revelation.

    Playing card of the Jack of Clubs. The Jack is a moustached man in a black top hat and suit in a oval center cameo. The colors are inverted so that everything on the face is black except the lines which are white, like a charcoal cutout picture., giving it a retro digital appearance mixed with retro handicraft vibes.
