If you don't have a lot of projects, it may be better to transfer them into a newly registered organization because that doesn't require a temporary drop of the namespace. Either way, you'll break the redirect, but that&#x27

The same problem exists, but has less of an impact on other platforms as well. For example, switching to a domain based handle on Bluesky will make your old handle available for re-registration. That makes you vulnerable to impersonation

I've read parts of the docs, but I guess it'll take a bit to see how it works in practice. The docs [1] list some of my concerns as "What Sigstore Doesn't Guarantee". That same doc also says: > Fulcio was design

Couldn't you say those same things about the current providers for code signing certificates? It almost sounds like a trade of one subpar solution for another. What do I get as a consumer trying to verify an identity? The way I see i

No. I would use domain as a vanity pointer and a permanent account as the source of truth that clients use to download packages. You have to assume the domain can be dropped and re-registered by a bad actor, so a permanent account with pr

I think domain verified namespaces would make a difference. If I own example.com, it makes sense for my namespace to be @example.com (pypi.org/@example.com/project). If all namespaces were domain based it would reduce impersonati

There are a couple things i don’t like about this trend. First, I have idle accounts for brand protection. I really dislike being forced to participate in the handle registration gold rush to begin with. Now I’ll have to set aside a day e

There's a good chance it would be considered a "bad faith" complaint. It's called reverse domain name hijacking [1] and is specifically addressed in the UDRP. If you lose the dispute, you'll never buy the domain fo

I was trying to decide this a few years ago when I found the best .com I'll ever own. It's only 8 characters and I was able to get matching social media handles everywhere but Twitter. My main concern was that someone with more m

I just want the option of using my domain name as a verified handle everywhere. I’m so tired of having to participate in the gold rush to grab my handle for brand protection, especially on platforms I barely use.

Every time I see one of these roll out with dots allowed in the username [1], I wonder what they’re thinking. YouTube just made that (IMO) mistake with their new handles and now Discord is doing the same. I think it’s a mistake because usi

I’ve been thinking about this a bit more. What happens if the server operator bans a DID? Does that ban the DID across the whole network via federation? What if I run my own server? Does that make me un-bannable? Is there even such a th

by ryan29 3y ago
So the domain is a mutable pointer to an immutable DID? That’s pretty much how I’d do it too [1]. Very cool! 1. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32755618

I always try to distinguish between decentralization of infrastructure and decentralization of control. I think the former is very difficult to achieve, but that’s ok because the latter is by far the more important of the two. As long as I

I would like to see this done using domain validated identities. It might not work for everything, but, if I can prove I own a domain, it's a globally unique handle that can be used to build online reputation and trust. It would also

I think there are potential alternatives that could evolve. My preferred solution would be domain validated identities with long lived, global reputation alongside some type of attestation. For example, if I have a GitHub account with &#x2

This is something I said, but didn't explain well in the thread about Bluesky using domains as handles. You did a much better job of explaining it in your article. Being able to adjust the moderation rules to fit specific scenarios is
