-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I feel that using overly centralized servers and organizations is a bad idea in the long run.(http://techcrunch.com/2013/08/18/the-internet-were-doing-it-wrong/) I am not the only one, there are projects like https://citizenweb.is/ However, not everyone can run servers, doing so you have to mess with routers sometimes.
A requirement of a social network application is being able to communicate, and to identify aliasses. GnuPG can do the latter, and also encrypt and stuff too. So it makes sense to combine the two which other applications can use to implement some facet of a social network. I also think 'the file' should be a unit of sending data. People should be able to easily add other techniques of transferring those files like autodetecting email attachments for it, pigeons with usb sticks. I have some simple bash source code that demonstrates the idea.(I will change the name if relevant people object) https://github.com/o-jasper/gpgshare (There are descriptions on `readme.md`s there) _All it does_ is sort by gpg identity and verify/decrypt&extract into a file system. If an application is happy not being able to initiate a fetch.send of data, all it has to do is look at its directory and incorporate the news there. In addition, it might need more capability to compose data to send, putting different in different files.(different levels of private/public) The first thing i will try to use it,(and i have started figuring how to place it alongside a website) is a make system to comment/take notes and reply to them anywhere,(and specify who gets access to it) with minimum threshold-to-use -right on web pages.('anywhere' is bigger than that, but websites is a good start) Note that i tried to suggest something similar before(FTR) http://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gcrypt-devel/2013-July/002237.html This email is meant to get some feedback, collaborators, and maybe ideas/a start on how to actually popularize the programs that will use the system. It would be useless without co-users. However, i am open to changing the form this might be done as wel, for instance the sort-by-gpg identity is so simple that maybe it could be incorporated into the existing gpg project(and associated libraries) itself.(It doesnt really increase dependencies either, just tar) Or you might want to start the project from your side and i join you instead of vice versa.(I do think the 'just put files', and minimal touching of the distributing system of subject matters of social networking is important though) In that case i'll change the linked github to be just the comment anywhere stuff. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.20 (GNU/Linux) iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJSTHa4AAoJEJyFfbXiRwmSERQQAJEVLEgHHqK6GI7bww5foVtE e5pyPi7V2UQikFqhWYxDde5VCC2m7Cv8Go8CodLWiI8eTqyHJ6lRU9aBlomzOPaQ OQ8UtXZMPq5qprjTaoMEZHujFxoy4prF+erFmWeYmgFopq6F9FYsEZvJj+cX2rFy DFzouUM5n5Dqhb3zmYPW5FtISogwVwmE1tHDbLub1qtB9Tmo5J56Fe8Wr6moW8LA +yUFLwdG3lw9+qtrqA1TC5elk9QQgpIZ0utFxYrOuq7VGHcNpIksgtMkPosd2RMk eQdKLwVn9LHKJFCqwQ0PGoaZQ1Rs/CALsutByFXh49/MQEHpmmkLC9yAPKwjHKlt wbo+tXL/h7dR+bf1LgG4sGKDcyt6DYSkp09XNcH6AQbUm9IEqjrjLvH4shWUipnJ QMt3DYRpyiJ2cpVNR1BByB2VgXqD3cJqmsTrKo+YNeyBb1XVrl6wTqvtYUEkO5jf vSFUxCbiNDzEOHMRcTBNtkW5nDlOUVscm1j7GbWR0JfzKu1Fxw5dNNLwvUD3ShBU ZW0z7Dk//LCojJjLFAr69CXALE70i+ut6dOZ+NkjUxPrVKh7syhj3/HyJTa7Wg1c QTcqyMcSqdQRBcEnfDlqzxD8MpM/dDO97DQ0QUP0iKqd7WSgFzE3z2nZOUcMFdeg tKo3z1b9KxZwp5JZBU7n =+JO2 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
