If you have a kernel.org account, you can set your webfinger by using:

ssh git@gitolite.kernel.org social set @your@social.example.foo

This will let people find your fediverse account by searching for β€œ@yourusername@kernel.orgβ€œ.

Use β€œsocial helpβ€œ to see other commands.

Proper documentation forthcoming and will be on korg.docs.kernel.org once done.

@wagi Cool, it's self-serve for people with kernel.org accounts now. :) I will document it this afternoon.

Another webfinger test. I typed '@ wagi @ kernel.org' below:

@wagi

It should have been replaced with the proper destination.

@wagi security by obscurity is only bad when it's your only security strategy. As an additional measure it's perfectly valid. :)

@wagi From the security perspective, new and undiscovered bugs are generally better than old known bugs. :)

@vbabka no idea. Probably a glitch in the matrix.

(For now, I only entered 4 accounts, so it won't work for most anyone. The goal is to make this user-settable.)

Oh, I see, they are actually replaced with their actual accounts on post. Anyway, the idea is that you should be able to search for at-korgusername-at-kernel.org and find the person's fediverse account if they divulged this information.

Got basic webfinger magic working -- with manually entered data for now. For example, try searching in your instance for: @mricon@kernel.org, @olof, @kees.

They should all resolve to their respective fediverse instances (and I wonder if it will do the right thing from this status post as well?).

The character limit for posts on this instance is now set at 31337. Because "threads" are stupid and make you Talk. Like. Captain. Kirk.

Just write your thoughts.

@captainepoch Done. Thank you for the suggestion! I was thinking 4096, but this is so much better.
