@jonmasters as usual, we get into the morass of key distribution, revocation, and trusting the infra. If you add a signed document like "I am userfoo@social.kernel.org" and add it to your profile, that doesn't actually certify every post you make. I can post things as any user on social.kernel.org, so I (or someone who hacks me) can impersonate anyone there.

I am currently leaning towards webfinger-level certification -- you can easily verify that mricon@kernel.org is actually monsieuricon@social.kernel.org, and I think this is good enough for most purposes.

Would #JohnMastodon be considered a megafounder? πŸ€”

@captainepoch it's almost like it wasn't designed at all. :)

@mmasnick seems like it's kinda like nntp with message signing.

@dirkhh let's hope so! I'm guessing this is highly dependent on your immediate local reality. Where I am, using CCS chargers still requires fumbling with several cards and hoping for the best. :/

@dirkhh Sadly, a widespread and *reliable* fast-charge network is still the core consideration for many, and until Chademo/CCS wars are over, Tesla's fast-chargers will remain a much better option hands-down.

PSA: just having a DKIM-Signature: header in your email isn't really enough, unless it has a d= part matching your From: address.

E.g., this is good:

From: foo@example.com
DKIM-Signature: v=1; d=example.com; [...]

This, on the other hand, serves no real purpose outside of Google:

From: foo@example.com
DKIM-Signature: v=1; d=example-com.20210112.gappssmtp.com; [...]

When there is no DKIM alignment, DMARC-enforcing servers will fall back to only using the SPF record, which doesn't work at all with mailing lists unless they rewrite the From: header.

So, please-please properly set up your DKIM infrastructure if you send messages to mailing lists. Or at the very least don't put p=reject into your DMARC policy.

Does the Tesla executive board loudly beep at you when everyone's asleep at the wheel? I think we're at the point where they have to consider cordoning off the Twitter dumpster fire.

@cafkafk I intend to β€” unless, of course, Tesla goes bust and one of the botched updates bricks the car or something. :)

I need a "don't blame me, I bought this car before Elon went gaga" sticker.

@dirkhh since there is no set meaning of "several," technically it hasn't lied to you since 08:05.

Why is Google Groups "Collaborative Inbox" *SO BAD*? It feels like a summer intern project that was abandoned 10 years ago.

@LWN Today I realized that there's more than one person named "Dave Miller" and this particular Dave Miller (justdave) is not the same as David S. Miller (davem).
