🛡️ The OVR Foundation website is live!
We were founded after the U.S. government’s 2025 threat to cut funding for the CVE program — a crucial piece of the cybersecurity landscape. Now, we’re working to create a decentralized, resilient standard for global vulnerability coordination.

🔧 Small updates will follow in the next few days.

What is the AT Protocol?

Wikipedia: “The #ATProtocol (Authenticated Transfer Protocol, pronounced "@ protocol" and commonly shortened to ATProto) is a protocol and #OpenStandard for #distributed #socialNetworking services. It is under development by #BlueskySocial #PBC, a public benefit corporation originally created as an independent research group within #Twitter to investigate the possibility of #decentralizing the service.”

"Show don't tell" of federate #FOSS code & apps doesn't work well in environment where we need "Show don't tell" of #OpenStandard specs to make progress. Especially if the specs are so vague that each code implementation thrown in the cauldron of #ActivityPub #fediverse installed base is known to only add #ProtocolDecay and #TechDebt.

In #Commons #CommonSense makes #CommonsSense: Don't introduce the opposite of #interoperabily when in pursuit of seamless interop.

We need both forms of showing.

The MISP-standard.org is proud to announce the release of a new standard: Threat Actor Naming (RFC). This standard addresses one of the most critical challenges in cybersecurity information sharing—the consistent and reliable identification of threat actors.

But it can be done. Communities can buy back or create themselves the power lines needed for domestic use. They can build communal power storage units that decouple (hyper)local grids from the Big Grid. It needs an #OpenStandard to control input and output to that local grid. Which is being worked on. Clean electricity can power private homes very soon. For free.

Update. On the obstacles to this kind of bridge-building.

"Ryan’s work to connect #Bluesky, which uses the #ATProtocol, to #Mastodon & other platforms using the #ActivityPub protocol ignited a firestorm. [He] wanted to advance the #fediverse’s promise of #interoperability but…inadvertently stirred up culture clashes between platforms & fervent discussions around consent, maintaining safety, fears of commercialism, & what being an #OpenStandard really means."
