The Keybase rant :-D

we all know that keybase went to shit after being aquired by Zoom, can you tell when? while i still use the service for online identity verification, i avoid using it for actual chatting.

How well do you trust the servers?

this isn't a matter of security, its a matter of longevity of the service, while the client is open source, the server components are not, it's hosted on piss AWS, stability of Amazon is high so we are at the mercy of Zoom to not kill off the keybase servers which they could do at any moment. as for security there is Lockdown Mode that disables web features without “2fa”

Crypto Blockchains

all signatures are pushed to the Stellar blockchain, prevents tampering, personally I like this feature. https://book.keybase.io/docs/server/stellar

Keybase Pages

the main reason for this post, going forth, i will no longer be using Keybase Pages for my static websites (utsuho.rocks) as it is unreliable and goes down often, I shall be migrating my pages to elsewhere.
