I wrote a small, easy to use #golang lib for signing HTTP requests so that #Mastodon would accept them and also to verify requests originating from Mastodon and other #ActivityPub servers, useful if you're implementing your own.

@robey One diff I see is code.lag.net/robey/squidcity/sβ¦ vs github.com/MatejLach/httpsigveβ¦
I've got the 12 hours off of docs.joinmastodon.org/spec/sec⦠to be Mastodon compatible to start with, but am going to make it configurable in the next release as 12hrs seems quite a long time.
i'm pretty sure i made up the 1 hour number, so 12 is just as valid...
my thinking was: when sending, we'll retry for up to a few days, to handle servers that have fallen offline for a day or two. so, we're going to have to sign every post *as we send it* -- it can't be queued pre-signed.
so the signature time is really a measure of clock skew between two servers. and at some point it's not clock skew, it's some kind of hanky-panky.

Trump safe following gun shots near Florida golf club, says New York Post
It's not abut policy or what's right or wrong. It's about controlling the narrative, which means coming up with a whopper anytime there is something negative in the news about them.
Trump has done this for decades and excels at it. Vance is the acolyte.
as bannon said -- flood the zone (with sht) ... a terrible state of affairs and people (and media) lap it up
