Pleroma tor federation works! \o/
@Sir_Boops That's GREAT! I've been talking about how I think we should do AP over tor .onion addresses and I was planning on doing it myself. I am *thrilled* someone else beat me to it.
IMO we're going to need to start incorporating petnames systems into these systems in order to make the gobbletygook'ness of those identifiers still be useful for people: https://github.com/cwebber/rebooting-the-web-of-trust-spring2018/blob/petnames/draft-documents/making-dids-invisible-with-petnames.md
(Also augh I need to finish that paper)
@Sir_Boops Notably AP over tor .onion addresses, if it took off, would be the death of "but webfinger addresses are the most useful addresses!"
@cwebber @Sir_Boops yes, once you have a .onion address it never changes. And since it's TCP it should federate perfectly, just like with http.
@Sir_Boops Ah, what did that entail? I've been wondering if it would be enough to just use a transparent Tor proxy on the server side to catch any .onion requests.
@lattera ^ You may be interested in this.
@varx Should be possible. Being behind Tor in that manner really just means you now support a new TLD: .onion :)
@varx I'm going to try and create another instance that allows tor federation and clearnet federation but really just setup an httpproxy and change a few config options
@Sir_Boops you federate mastodon with it via Tor?
@kmj That's another beast :p
@Sir_Boops ah, i see. trying to get this project up https://kmj.at/tssop/ to build something from ground for it
@Sir_Boops Whoa whoa whoa wait, is this federation over tor .onion addresses?
If so heck yeah
