ML in action.

That’s strange. A lot of people from Russia continue contributing on GitHub without any issues.

ICQ, MSN, Skype, and many others are laying on the cemetery, but IRC is still alive and active. Decentralized protocols ftw.

What are we going to do about it?

Nothing. People move to reddit and discord for a reason. If forums were worth saving, this problem wouldn’t have existed.

Thanks for your reply. The idea of zero-knowledge authentication is that the password never touches the server. Instead, the user can prove that they know the password when logging in by solving a challenge. This enables the user to log in from any new device without the need to transfer keys between them. I’ll take a closer look at your suggestions though. Thanks again!

Thanks, I will take a look! Implementing the encryption algorithm itself wasn’t my goal, I was hoping to find and reuse an existing library. You know, like we don’t implement our own algorithms to hash passwords or generate keys.

For some context, cryptography isn’t even usually implemented “completely correctly” by experts. That’s part of why we have constant software security patches.

Yeah, I totally agree, and I don’t expect to implement it properly or go public with this. I just got this idea for the final project. When it comes to password hashing, we have libraries in all popular languages that handle this, and we have open-source tools to generate keys. So, I was hoping to find something ready to use for my project. Unfortunately, it seems this area isn’t very popular.

How, exactly? Decentralization aside, lemmy is a reddit clone, but on a smaller scale. The same human psychology that drives reddit also drives lemmy. I think your assessment is more applicable to mastodon because there you really have to figure out how to fill your feed with content.

A tablet versus laptop? I don’t get it. Apples to oranges.

My back hurts when I see a colleague on a zoom meeting sitting like that cat.
