polyproto A refreshingly simple, decentralised, federated protocol. No more losing friends, followers or messages if your old homeserver sunsets. Feel free to migrate to another homeserver at any time, even if your old homeserver has shut down ages ago.

Work on this has already started! neocat The OIDC-branch is being expanded with more information. The goal for now is to define all the rough outlines, and to fill in the rest later, through knowledge gained via feedback and an implementation.

@Gnuxie @alexia As alexia already helpfully alluded to, if XMPPs XEPs are Lego-Bricks, then polyproto extensions are Duplos. Tech-standards integrate technologies into the protocol in a reusable way, while application standards define an application skeleton fit to federate with other implementation following the same standard.

@Gnuxie @alexia I believe that one can do a lot of unifying through building a healthy community, great governance and extensible standards neobot_melt_happy

Smiley added: "The question here is if it's all so great, why are the insurance underwriters going to great lengths to prohibit coverage for these things? They're generally pretty good at risk profiling."

you should know this:
a purple neocat, with the polyproto logo surrounding its right eye. the polyproto logo is a cog split into two equal parts horizontally, with waves running through the gap.

This will then unblock work on adding working authentication to sonata, which will likely be up next in the task queue!

Next up on my list of tasks: Finishing the OIDC+SCIM PURR to introduce OIDC (OpenID Connect) as the common way of authenticating to one's own home server. This will kill polyproto-auth; it will not be missed neocat_blep

After over 5 months of time spent refactoring and developing, sonata—our polyproto-core home server—has received so many internal updates and additions, that we could merge the code to actually generate and store/retrieve home server ID-Certs to the database, today! neobot_floof_cute ablobcatmusicneodog_melt_blep Even though not recommended at this stage of development, one could now already establish their home servers' identity by hosting their own instance of sonata.

While all of the code added and refactored over the last 5+ months has been necessary to implement this feature in a nice way (which doesn't need to be refactored again for a while), these additions and changes were so substantial, that they will enable a faster development pace for actual features going forward neobot

Over the weekend, lots of commits landed in the indev branch of sonata, our in-development polyproto-core home server. polyproto Code was introduced which uses the type system to verify, at compile time, that certificates being stored have actually been verified to be valid and well-formed before being allowed to get stored or passed to other parts of code. Encoding this information in the type system means being 100% sure that a certificate or key is valid in a given context, without having to resort to additional runtime checks. On top of that, CI was improved yet again neobot_happy

@mxremy You're very right in that there's no federation going on between most of the Discord alts. Getting this right takes a lot of time, because something like this has to be great the first time around. Changing things in backwards-incompatible ways later is always much harder. Development and documentation support would be much appreciated! Monetary support would help if it allowed me to hire freelancing critters to dedicate time on this project. Donating to me, personally, would not speed things up, even though the thought is very, very nice c: - @star

@ChaosKitsune I'd roughly estimate the core spec to be about 80% done. There are definitely small adjustments needed in some places, but the major architecture and algorithms used and described are pretty fixed in place at this point. The Rust SDK should be quite usable for making stuff with it. I myself am writing the sonata home server with it! - @star

Ah! Another resolved issue. Our CI on sonata is now also fully nix-based, and all tests pass again, fully concluding the migration to the newest version of our SDK in our in-development home server project.

Finding the bug that made this take so long took a lot of time and nerves, but it's finally done. neocat_up__w_
