Good on the #signal #president #meredithwhittaker for going against the #uk #government on wanting to #spy on #encrypted #messages https://fortune.com/2023/07/13/signal-pr.. *Really* the correct #decision for #signal to take.
Will be *extremely interesting* to see what comes of these 100k #whatsapp #messages #leaked from the #uk #government https://www.zerohedge.com/political/uk-p.. By bet is nothing... They probably #implicate *all* of the #politicians .
The #deadsocial #gui , now known as #deadgui is somewhat #mature now it seems, with it doing the bare #minimum of allowing you to create tonnes of #pending #messages and then #send them when the #server or #internet come back, which seems to happen often.
In fact, it appears #deadsocial or the #internet just went out. So it will be interesting to see how it handles this #edgecase ... #fingerscrossed all the #messages get sent once the #server or #internet comes back #online .
Because of lack of #ram for the #coffeespace #server , I find myself #typing into a #gvim #window more often to pre-write #messages for this #platform . It has got me thinking, I could probably #write a small #offline #application that does exactly this, and #sends this stuff when it comes back #online . It would also mean I could #port this to much #smaller #devices without having to worry about #resources . I just need a way to #confirm a #message was sent...
Great, #british #tv is now #conspiring to put #ideological #messages into their #dramas https://youtube.com/watch?v=fORrdK9sw_w Some of the points they raise as "crazy" are already proven to be true, or are unproven either way entirely. For example, highly powerful people *do* run the #media - insert #billgates and #jeffbezos as examples, or run #theguardian and #washingtonpost respectively. It's not #antisemitic to say that either, it is just a #fact .
*Would you look at that.* The #europeancommision for *some reason* cannot find the #messages they exchanged with the #boss of #pfizer https://euobserver.com/eu-political/1553.. Strange how they were unable to complete that #freedomofinformation #request ... You can for sure know that they would happily #fine people for similar. *Insanity.* Thank fuck for #brexit , there is no way we could be part of that madness.
Looks like the #kremlin is running out of friends... The #russian #police are now stopping #random #civilians and #reading their #messages to try to #threaten them into #silence https://twitter.com/KevinRothrock/status.. All that will happen is people will just start #deleting their #messages after reading them... Or figure out other ways of #communicating .
Interesting, it seems like it is possible to use #xmpp and the #jabber #servers instead of using #mail to #send #messages from inside a #network to outside: https://momi.ca/posts/2020-08-28-sendxmp..
Well this is truly #terrifying - it appears that #syniverse #routes tonnes of the #us 's #text #messages and they were #hacked https://lowendbox.com/blog/the-syniverse.. This puts #security measures like 2FA at serious risk. The company responded to the #hack - essentially saying 'it'll likely happen again, get over it'.
#encryption from one place to another should really not be this tough: https://matrix.org/blog/2021/09/13/vulne.. It should not be possible to *read* #encrypted #matrix #messages - #replay #attacks ? Sure. #information #leaking ? Sure. Message #blocking ? Sure. But *never* should it be possible to read the #plaintext message...
Don't host your #servers in #australia folks! https://www.zdnet.com/article/canberra-a.. They want to #scan #encrypted #messages - which in turn means #backdoor into your messages. Fun.
