Another #prosody release and another smooth upgrade. This one's a biggie, the 0. versioning has been dropped !
There's some additions for #DANE and channel binding, which I should look into. Also more granular permissions, which will surely be useful for deployments bigger than mine.
Downtime was also short enough to not trigger the uptime monitors.
I see even the bookworm-backports package is updated. blog.prosody.im/prosody-13.0.0

#Denmark:

As an #American I must educate you as to recent territorial claims

The last #Dane to rule #England was Harthacnut because Edward the Confessor stole the title from his successor Magnus

Thus all governments of #Britain since then are illegitimate and Denmark is still rightful ruler of the #BritishIsles

Secondly the #AmericanRevolution was an illegal war of independence. Thus the #USA is still a territory of the #UK

Ergo, the #US is in reality owned by Denmark

Glad to clear this up

Continued thread

#DNSSEC and #DANE should not replace the established #TLS certificate authority system, because it would undermine end-to-end encryption between client and server, but I do believe that DNSSEC/DANE serve a legitimate role: preventing #DNS spoofing by third parties, i.e. proving that a DNS record really comes from the correct name server.

And in order to keep DNS requests private, DoH/DoT/DoQ should be the default.

@letoams @soatok Hmm, perhaps we could map SSH keys identity to people very similar way as OPENPGPKEY record in #DANE, but with #SSHFP instead. We could reuse the algorithm for owner name creation, just use different record. But does not match how I use my SSH keys. I have each per machine, not one per person. I think I do them how I should, right?

#SMTP Security via Opportunistic DNS-Based Authentication of Named Entities (#DANE) Transport Layer Security (TLS) is discovered using #TLSA records.

rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7672.htm

For SMTP, this would look like so:

$ dig +short tlsa _25._tcp.panix.netmeister.org
3 1 1 E83F02AF46A9C48613CC2793778262C6F1CF0C07C381FF1D92DCEF7C FA97750E

$

You can verify the TLSA record using 'openssl s_client':
