soc.octade.net is a Fediverse instance that uses the ActivityPub protocol. In other words, users at this host can communicate with people that use software like Mastodon, Pleroma, Friendica, etc. all around the world.
This server runs the snac software and there is no automatic sign-up process.
@Em0nM4stodon so by now you should all have received the wireguard configurations for the cells that you have been introduced to, shorn of any public keys and rendezvous information. You should also, at this point, have self-authenticated using your own public key to your designated contact. You have been instructed in the correct procedure regarding operating your station, so this is just a reminder to maintain radio silence on each network until the pre-agreed signals have been passed through the network.
Distress networks, however, are continuously available. If you fail to read a beacon signal from these for any significant length of time, report this through the designated secondary channel.
Now propagandists are telling people to abandon PGP / GPG altogether.
Even the #cypherpunks mailing list got the EEE treatment.
There is a slightly similar proof system via #keyoxide.

Al Gore Invented the Internet.
Joe Biden invented PGP encryption.
Cypherpunks write code.
Joe Biden gifted humanity with PGP encryption (in a roundabout way). Phil Zimmermann created PGP in response to a anti-privacy bill clause proposed by Senator Joe Biden.

"In 1990, the FBI launched an over-the-top crackdown on computer hackers, known as Operation Sundevil. This was swiftly followed, in early 1991, by a proposed piece of U.S. Senate legislation that would force electronic communications service providers to hand over people’s personal data. (The key clause, S.266, was pushed by the then chairman of the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee, Senator Joe Biden.)"
"On learning of Biden’s S.266 clause, Zimmermann feverishly set out to complete the project, almost losing his house in the process. When he finished his software in 1991, he published it all online, free for anyone who wanted to use it. He called it “Pretty Good Privacy,” or PGP for short, and within weeks it had been downloaded and shared by thousands of people around the world. “Before PGP, there was no way for two ordinary people to communicate over long distances without the risk of interception,” said Zimmermann in a later interview. “Not by phone, not by FedEx, not by fax.” It remains the most widely used form of email encryption to this day."Joe Biden's first panopticon bill:
https://www.congress.gov/bill/102nd-congress/senate-bill/266
"SEC. 2201. COOPERATION OF TELECOMMUNICATIONS PROVIDERS WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT. It is the sense of Congress that providers of electronic communications services and manufacturers of electronic communications service equipment shall ensure that communications systems permit the government to obtain the plain text contents of voice, data, and other communications when appropriately authorized by law."As they say in Texas: That dinosaur don't hunt.
