tuxether[m] Is there a standard way for creating a Person with password in AS2? Or should I not be using AS2 for that?
# fr33domlover tuxether[m], what do you mean by password? How do you use the password and when do you send it
# tuxether[m] fr33domlover: user registration. The password is sent once to the server. Salted/Hashed/etc. on the server side. I had a pre-existing API that takes username and password and creates a user. Thought I might be able to switch that to use AS2.
# fr33domlover tuxether[m], I suppose it makes no difference to federation, so, you can use whatever you want. I'm guessing that websites that have an API accept JSON input for the registration page? It can be JSON-LD if you like, idk if it makes any difference. You could look at how Mastodon, Pleroma etc. handle registration
# fr33domlover tuxether[m], if you use AS2 be very careful not to put that person object anywhere, don't store it

# nightpool[m] most people assume user registration is a

# puckipedia i did the pretty much impossible
# puckipedia https://puckipedia.com/.json it's running on kroeg-rs now
# puckipedia aaronpk: so ehm, it's mostly a hack for now
# puckipedia I overrode / to actually have html
# puckipedia and I set up .json to redirect the request to kroeg directly
# puckipedia aaronpk: like, if you find an actual post like https://puckipedia.com/status/27a0db9d/code-is-good
# puckipedia it's still json
# puckipedia not anymore
# puckipedia I had a kinda primitive html templating system in kroeg-c# but it's kinda bad
# puckipedia yeah, I'm probably going to hook up a simple static html page
# puckipedia yeah
# puckipedia aaronpk: done, see e.g. https://puckipedia.com/inbox as test, I will post to all
# puckipedia oh ehm
# puckipedia works here?
# puckipedia I have no login mechanism
# kaniini same result as aaronpk
# kaniini also, while i am here, as a reminder, death to json-ld
# puckipedia oh huh
# puckipedia firefox vs chrome
# puckipedia oh dangit
# puckipedia not setting Vary
# kaniini aaronpk nothing, i just hate json-ld and think it is highly inappropriate for activitypub, especially since it has spawned use of LDS
# kaniini ;)
# puckipedia tbh there's no good json signature mechanism
# kaniini puckipedia have you considered that signing the json might be the thing that gets people killed? ;)
# puckipedia kaniini: did I say you should sign them? :P
# kaniini :D
# puckipedia ok, I got the thing to work, need to recompile some backend code too
