schestowitz | I suppose anonymity isn't the most important thing | Aug 04 03:07 |
schestowitz | as if's known we spoke to Eric | Aug 04 03:07 |
schestowitz | that is not the secret | Aug 04 03:07 |
schestowitz | So encryption-wise, well... if documents were already shown in court, then too the contents are not secret | Aug 04 03:08 |
MrGreenFriendd | Jami also has VoIP | Aug 04 03:13 |
schestowitz | I used to do VoIP more | Aug 04 03:15 |
schestowitz | in this case we need to transmit files mostly and text can be done over IRC, unless there's more condidential stuff | Aug 04 03:16 |

MrGreenFriendd | schestowitz, i thought that Vault7 exploits do not apply to Anbox or https://www.android-x86.org? i'm guessing: CIA would simply pressure companies to add binary-blobs to their software, or worse exploit the baseband-firmware--- neither which apply for Andbox/Android-86 | Aug 04 03:51 |

MrGreenFriendd | MinceR, yeh, it does seem like a bullshit reason why Moxie doesnt want Signal in Fdroid. However, i still think Moxie/Signal is trustworthy | Aug 04 04:05 |

MrGreenFriendd | oh, u mean FB paid him to use his Signal-protocol in WhatsApp. yeh , i know about that, but that doesnt mean that Signal is compromised. | Aug 04 04:21 |

MrGreenFriendd | i like to think that FB/whatsapp used Moxie to get good PR, to make WhatsApp 2.0 (with Signal Protocol). and then as soon as Moxie walked out the door. FB changed WhatsApp to 2.0.1 (now with backdoor) hahaha | Aug 04 04:24 |
schestowitz | they'll say it's to comply with the law | Aug 04 04:24 |
schestowitz | and guess where these serves are located anyway (NSL) | Aug 04 04:25 |

MrGreenFriendd | i'm sure u guys have seen this, but this shows Signal is pretty well battle-tested: when Signal was required by a USA Federal Grand Jury - Supoena, to provide data associated with phone numbers including: name, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, payment, IP logs, cookies, account history, etc | Aug 04 04:37 |

MrGreenFriendd | schestowitz, PGP is clunky to use, and leaks tons of metadata (over email), has no VoIP, no ephemeral (disappearing) messages, no "perfect forward secrecy", really crappy 'key-stretching' for protecting privkeys & symmetric encryption, | Aug 04 04:50 |
MinceR | PGP is also vulnerable to social engineering downgrade attacks | Aug 04 04:51 |
schestowitz | metadata does not give away much in this case | Aug 04 04:51 |

schestowitz | Might I also mention that ring’s implementation doesn’t use blinding during RSA signing? Nor have they merged the latest attack mitigations for pkcs1_encode() from BoringSSL. It is easy to be fast when you’re insecure. | Aug 04 05:23 |
schestowitz | Then there’s the fact that they don’t do security embargoes. All disclosures are zero days. Never mind the fact that GitHub gives the ability to do all this sanely. | Aug 04 05:23 |
schestowitz | I’m willing to work around (and patch) some of these issues. But if I can’t contribute without a shakedown, what’s the point? | Aug 04 05:23 |
schestowitz | Don’t use ring. | Aug 04 05:23 |
schestowitz | Unfortunately, this means that rustls is now stuck. They are built on top of ring and are widely used in the Rust community. So I can’t recommend rustls until ring fixes its problems. | Aug 04 05:23 |
oiaohm | MinceR: that kernel module altered the scheduler to give almost 100 percent of cpu time to the build. This was one of the research programs that is complet ass. | Aug 04 05:23 |

oiaohm | DaemonFC[m]: I did see a batch of scratching posts under a different brand in Australia that had the same kind of instruction but had shipped boltless. | Aug 04 17:51 |
oiaohm | DaemonFC[m]: replacement bolt taped on outside of box. | Aug 04 17:51 |
DaemonFC[m] | Someone in China was probably "dealt with" for that. | Aug 04 17:52 |
DaemonFC[m] | Oh, I used to pack pet cages. Sometimes I'd just toss in two instruction manuals or more because we just printed those out in the office as necessary and they stuck together onn my safety gloves. | Aug 04 17:54 |
DaemonFC[m] | Rather than getting yelled at for not meeting my quota, I decided to print out more instruction manuals than I needed at the beginning of my shift. | Aug 04 17:54 |
DaemonFC[m] | I figured that none of the customers would complain if they happened to get two or three sets of instructions in the box. | Aug 04 17:54 |
oiaohm | China if the company did not pay the extra change for QA bad luck them. | Aug 04 17:55 |
DaemonFC[m] | One time, I was getting close to the end of my shift and I didn't have as many pages getting stuck together as I usually did, so the last pet cage got a stack of like 15 instruction manuals. | Aug 04 17:55 |
DaemonFC[m] | And then I tossed it on the pallet. | Aug 04 17:55 |
---MinceR gives voice to mmu_man | Aug 04 17:55 | |
DaemonFC[m] | The supervisors were screaming bloody murder at people who packed one of two pet cages below their quota, and all of them were trying to peel the instructions apart and taking like 5-6 seconds per cage to do it sometimes. | Aug 04 17:56 |
DaemonFC[m] | I found that I could easily do 6-8 more cages per shift if I just didn't bother making sure that each one got exactly one instruction manual. | Aug 04 17:56 |
oiaohm | Or the extra QA charge for repacking in case missed item. | Aug 04 17:56 |
DaemonFC[m] | So the only person not getting bitched out was me. | Aug 04 17:56 |
DaemonFC[m] | *one or two | Aug 04 17:56 |
oiaohm | DaemonFC[m]: china you have to pay for the person to bitch at staff for mistakes. | Aug 04 17:57 |
oiaohm | If you don't bad things happen. | Aug 04 17:57 |
oiaohm | I really do think with these scratching posts here in Australia they were done as cheap as possible and in china you do that you get goofed product. | Aug 04 17:58 |
DaemonFC[m] | I figured that it was better for the company anyway to pay a penny or two extra per cage for excess instruction manuals several times during a shift than it was to pay me $12 an hour (2004) to stand there and peel the instructions apart to make sure no extra ones went in the box. | Aug 04 17:58 |
oiaohm | DaemonFC[m]: being walmart product with the stuff they get from china they could have cut same stupid conner. | Aug 04 17:58 |
DaemonFC[m] | If I had to stop and peel and spend 6 minutes per shift doing this, then they paid $1.20 + my benefits and employment taxes, per shift (so maybe $1.80-ish) so I could stop and peel the instructions apart. | Aug 04 17:59 |
oiaohm | Generally double the amount you paid for your rough total cost. | Aug 04 18:00 |
scientes | DaemonFC[m], how much do you pay in rent? | Aug 04 18:00 |
scientes | (if you don't mind me asking) | Aug 04 18:00 |
DaemonFC[m] | We had an inkjet printer set on economy mode with cheap bulk paper and toner. So if I threw even 40-50 extra sets of instructions in per shift, then that only cost the company about 15-20 cents. | Aug 04 18:01 |
DaemonFC[m] | When my boss finally saw me doing this, I explained it to him as a cost savings for the company and he told everyone to quit worrying about how many instructions went in as long as there was at least one copy per box. | Aug 04 18:01 |
oiaohm | DaemonFC[m]: boss smart would not have cared if each item got less than 5 and greater than 1 instruction manuals. | Aug 04 18:01 |
oiaohm | where you put like 15 in that was excessive. | Aug 04 18:02 |
oiaohm | DaemonFC[m]: you will notice a lot of china products come with black and white laser printed manuals. That for the simple reason they are less likely to self glue to themselves. | Aug 04 18:03 |
DaemonFC[m] | I explained that if we had 68 people packing cages between the shifts, and each one saved $1.80 of time at the cost of 20 cents of extra instruction manuals, then the company saved about $109 a day total in productivity, which was the cost of one person for an 8 hour shift. | Aug 04 18:03 |
oiaohm | Basically not using injet would have reduced the sticking as well. | Aug 04 18:04 |
DaemonFC[m] | 15 being excessive. | Aug 04 18:05 |
DaemonFC[m] | Yes, but it was funny. | Aug 04 18:05 |
DaemonFC[m] | Someone out there bought a dog cage and had 15 instruction manuals fall out all over the place, | Aug 04 18:05 |
oiaohm | DaemonFC[m]: they had the paper to line the bottom of the cage. | Aug 04 18:06 |
