With the latest release of #Mitra, the media proxy feature has stabilized and is ready to use. When enabled, it significantly reduces storage requirements because the remote media is not saved to disk. It also guarantees that you don't accidentally store anything illegal. However, since it is a proxy, the media is not loaded directly from remote hosts, so they won't learn your IP address and browser fingerprint, only the time when you're online. Media proxy can be enabled for all hosts or only for selected ones (because it is a part of the federation filter system): mitra add-filter-rule proxy-media '*' mitra add-filter-rule proxy-media pawoo.net RE:

FEP-ae97: Client-side activity signing

Cookie monster!

I've been experimenting with client-side signing for quite some time and decided to write a document describing a complete solution. It builds on my past proposals (FEP-8b32 and FEP-c390), and if widely implemented, will allow users to send activities from anywhere, without tying them to a particular server. I'm still not sure if client-side signing makes sense for Mitra, but some other projects like Vocata might support this.

Highlights: - Improved delivery performance (concurrent requests, tracking broken/unreachable inboxes). - Admin account can be automatically displayed at "About" page (off by default).

Just updated FEP-0837 draft ("Federated Markets"). The proposal objects are now allowed to have type other than Proposal, e.g. Note. This means servers can publish proposals that are compatible with Mastodon (which only accepts a limited number of types as "posts").
