fr33domlover Hi everyone
# fr33domlover Is this the place to ask a question about the JSON-LD API spec? I'm implementing it and wondering about some stuff there
# rialtate[m] I think it's official home might be #ccg but if it's activitypub related somehow here is probably better anyway
# rialtate[m] Meaning if it's something all of us implementers might run into
# fr33domlover rialtate[m], hmm well it's something really tiny, just a line in an algorithm that seems to be unnecessary to me. The whole API spec seems horrible to me (Idk if other people see what I see or it's just me :P) but it would be really nice to drop that line from my code ^_^
# fr33domlover drops the line from his code yay
# fr33domlover Life lesson: Algorithms shouldn't be written as English descriptions of JS code...
# fr33domlover wonders why the W3C let the spec be like this
# rialtate[m] What line?

# RzR hi, do you know any hints about using encryption along activity pub ?
# fr33domlover RzR, what would you like to encrypt?
# RzR just private messages ?
# RzR like position of my gold mine ...
# RzR -position+location
# fr33domlover RzR, Idk if there's any agreed standard, but, you could write your message on your phone/laptop/whatever, then encrypt it with the recipient's GPG key, and they'd receive it and decrypt the message on their device. I suppose it's much easier if your Mastodon/whatever client supports encrypting and decrypting message content like that
# fr33domlover (RzR, note that there's already encryption in transit via HTTPS, but that's probably not enough for gold mines)
# rialtate[m] RzR: JOSE is probably most logical but apparently there are myriad issues https://github.com/SelfKeyFoundation/decentralized-identity/issues/21

# RzR yea gpg is an option, then I would be great to map the WebOfTrust to decentralized service (ie: mastodon)

# RzR rialtate[m], http://omemo.top/ could be relevent too
Angle joined the channel; vt left the channel
# rialtate[m] Oh I didn't realize omemo was double ratchet. I wonder why matrix.org decided to roll their own
