Is #keybase still a thing?

Breaking! Well, not really, I'm a day late. #Keytrace launched publicly! Keytrace is the alternative to #Keybase for verying your accounts. One could say it's like #Keyoxide too but lives in the ATmosphere network.

Is anyone still using #Keybase? Just noticed I had still set up a DNS record for it...

I registered for #KeyBase then I thought,,,, certainly there must be some #FOSS etc version, right?

Yes, there is @Keyoxide – but that last time that acct tooted was 2024 and the last time the official blog was updated was 2023!

Is it a dead project? 🤔

Plus, the Getting Started page is intimidating AF for a non-geeky person lime me! https://docs.keyoxide.org/getting-started/creating-profile/

Is there a better FOSS-y KeyBase alternative?

Thx

@kaosk @killyourfm I do not know, but it somehow reminds me of #Keybase, which had one of my close circles convinced and we had to deal with difficult-to-use clients that were an overkill for merely sharing text messages, a few pictures here and there.

What's the current deal with #Keybase? Was the first post-zoom-aquisition update just published? And why does that make me scared?

Lebt eigentlich keybase.io noch? Die sind vor einiger Zeit mal an Zoom verkauft worden und seitdem nix mehr.
Mittlerweile kann ich die Mac-App über Homebrew nicht mehr installieren.

Also, ist es tot? Sollte ich meinen Account löschen?

This problem means people on current #Debian or Debian-derived #Linux systems who have #Slack, #Keybase, or #Dropbox installed via the package manager (i.e., not a Snap) *are not getting updates* to those packages, including both functional and security updates.
Since Slack is an Electron app, i.e., it has an install of Chromium bundled into it, and Chromium gets regular security patches, the version of Slack they have certainly has security vulnerabilities in it.

#TechIsShitDispatch
It's been more than a year since #Debian #Linux deprecated the insecure #SHA1 hash algorithm in #APT repositories.
The #Keybase, #Slack, and #Dropbox repositories (I'm sure among others) are still using SHA1, and therefore for over a year they have not worked in Debian without changing the default APT policies to allow them.
I know Slack knows about this, because I told them. A year ago.
Why haven't they upgraded the security on their repository?
Seriously, wtf?
