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.

    XMPP Providers Support in Converse.js & More Automation

    Since earlier this year Converse.js suggests an XMPP provider and allows to select one during account registration.

    XMPP Providers also accelerated its inclusion process.

    Add your provider: providers.xmpp.net/add-provide
    Access the data through the API: invent.kde.org/melvo/xmpp-prov
    Run an automated XMPP server setup: invent.kde.org/melvo/xmpp-prov

        WhatsApp Clone, but Decentralized with P2P Messaging

        App: Enkrypted.Chat

        "Secure and private" is the general goal.

        This is a technical/concept demo of a fairly unique approach using a browser-based, local-first and webrtc.

        This is intended to introduce a new paradigm in client-side managed secure cryptography. We can avoid registration of any sort.

        Features:

        * P2P
        * End to end encryption
        * Signal protocol
        * Post-Quantum cryptography
        * File transfer
        * Local-first
        * No registration
        * No installation
        * No database
        * TURN server

        Feel free to reach out for clarity instead of diving into the docs/code.

        IMPORTANT: While this is aiming to provide a secure experience, it isnt audited or reviewed. **Shared for testing, feedback and demo purposes only.** Please use responsibly.

          Delta Chat is a messaging platform that works over email.

          Setup is similar to a email client.
          Messaging is decentralized and interoperable.

          Supports end-to-end encryption via PGP.
          PGP encryption keys are created automatically.

          Default desktop client is based on Electron.
          Electron is based on the Google Chromium web browser.

            PGP is /decentralized/ unlike other popular encrypted messaging systems.
            "Despite advancements in secure messaging, PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) encryption—developed in the 1990s—remains a gold standard for privacy. Unlike modern apps reliant on centralized servers or phone numbers, PGP ensures end-to-end encryption without third-party dependencies. This article explores PGP’s enduring relevance, key management best practices, and how it compares to contemporary solutions like Signal."

              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.
