  • I was forced to learn some of it at work (using and signing medical payment transactions, with x509 certificates) so I have ar least a starting point. I have no idea how the revoke process works though, I can’t figure out a way that it functions without a central authority getting queried regularly. I thonk I can start without that knowledge though.

    Anyway, with your information I’m up and running, thank you again!

    “Derived certificates” not child certs, noted !






  • And you still can’t self certify.

    It’s cute the big players are so concerned with my little security of my little home server.

    Or is there a bigger plan behind all this? Like pay more often, lock in to government controlled certs (already done I guess because they control DNS and you must have a “real” website name to get a free cert)?

    I feel it’s 50% security 50% bullshit.

    Edit: thank you all I will dive down the CA certification rabbit hole now! Have worked in C++ & X509 on the client side so maybe I’ll be able to figure it out.




  • One main difference with IPFS is that you can change the shared data without having to re-distribute a new link. It’s also based on reciprocal sharing instead of benevolent sharing, which means that if someone shares then it grows the sharing capability of the network instead of using it up.

    I have made some comparatifs, you are all welcome posting any questions you have here or there ofc. ☺️ !


  • Sort of P2P, it’s a sharing system based on reciprocal sharing (I share yours because you share mine), add sharing the same data several times and you get robustness.

    A sort of decentralised file system.

    Please let me know what you think about it all.

    PS. Funkwhale seems interesting, gotta check that out, thanks!
