hello neuro`

tantek: landed in Brighton?
#
tommorris
tantek: it's making me look closely at building private posts on my own site.
#
tommorris
just build up an access control list using domains (plus social media accounts)
#
tommorris
let people log in using a variety of methods and use that to control access
#
tantek
tommorris - domains + twitter should be enough. anyone on FB should just go get a Twitter.
#
tantek
should be *good enough
#
tommorris
I've got lots of old school/university friends who do FB but not Twitter
#
tantek
people can create a private twitter just for sign-in
#
tommorris
plus I have a friend list on both sites I can import to seed the ACL
#
tommorris
my primary use for Facebook is posting stuff I want to share with my friends privately

I think open source projects need an 'exit strategy' like businesses do
#
tantek
I believe the open source license *is* the exit strategy
#
neuro`
If maintainers stop maintaining, someone can take over the project (that's what I did on Publify)
#
ShaneHudson
Oh definitely but, like we were saying yesterday, so much of it is built to require maintaining. And there will not always be people to take over
#
tantek
neuro` that's what Mullenweg did with forking the abandoned B2 and starting WordPress
#
neuro`
tantek: I know, ask michel_v about it :)
#
neuro`
tantek: michel_v is B2 creator
#
tantek
ah ok

neuro`
Yeah, reason why I was mentionning
#
aaronpk
neuro`: on board to what?
#
neuro`
aaronpk: didn't you have issues to onboard on a plane, or was it someone else on this channel
#
aaronpk
landed in Brighton and checked in to the hotel! it's sweet here!
#
aaronpk
neuro`: ah yes, couldn't check in electronically because I clicked the "i have dangerous items in my bag" on accident
#
neuro`
yup, that one
#
aaronpk
sorry, didn't understand "onboard" in that context
#
tantek
hey aaronpk!
#
aaronpk
it's just "board" for a plane
#
aaronpk
tantek: hello!

I wish I was in Brighton

tommorris: RE private content, why not just use persona login?
#
barnabywalters
As you already have it
#
tommorris
Yep, but then I'd have to build up an ACL of people who I trust
#
tommorris
I already have an existing list of people I trust, mostly on Facebook and Twitter
#
barnabywalters
tommorris: You can export your address book as a vCard file, right?
#
tommorris
letting them login with their existing credentials to see private posts seems the most friction-free way of doing so
#
barnabywalters
Oops, got to go board.
#
tommorris
and I use Omniauth, a Rails plugin that lets you mix together social auth systems

josephg: your proposal for secure email is not actually secure, it is vulnerable to traffic analysis.
#
poppy
"even if the NSA snooped on both endpoints, they wouldn't be able to match the messages together - They would just know that Alice sent an email and Bob received one"
#
poppy
that is precisely how traffic analysis works - with enough data, they can say with bounded certainty that Alice mailed Bob
#
aaronpk
also email != web, so I'd be curious how you think those techniques could apply to web-based messaging

jernst - tenatively yes. I will have just gotten back on the 23rd from 19 days of travel, 5 conference, 4 timezones and likely quite exhausted.
#
tantek
maybe a 1-2 minute talk with 3 min Q&A? :)
#
jernst
you think you'll manage 1-2 minutes but 5 minutes is too strenuous? :-)

i'm also not public about my nick, as trivial as it is

i mean, you know who i am ;)

and i am barely indieweb yet, still working on infrastructure like reliable machine bringup in the few spare moments i get
#
poppy
even my statusnet instance has been broken for a few months now :(
#
tantek
it's ok not be "public" about your nick - you can choose any indieweb identity (domain) you wish :)
#
poppy
yeah, i need to work on that too
#
tantek
you can call yourself by whatever domain you wish on the web, no "real names" policy here
#
tantek
in fact, would be great to have an example of someone doing that
#
poppy
i have a spare identity that i have been meaning to fire up, but it awaits some isolated hosting
#
tantek
do you have some sort of poppy.me domain or something similar?
#
poppy
nope
#
poppy
i have one that's moderately disconnected to me
#
tantek
just to tie your IRC nick/identity to *a* site identity?
#
tantek
no need to tie your "poppy" identity to any other identity per se, just have a web expression of it
