| schestowitz | After many hours that involved tinkering with a lot of options (both device and desktop end), then editing loads of files etc. I've managed to successfully install my program on an Android 4.0 tablet that I bought on Friday. For the basic edge detection and analysis I can get about 4 frames per second and the hardware is 10" screen, enhanced VGA, 1GHz CPU, and 1GB of onboard RAM. Testing over USB is trivial and fast now. | May 27 12:13 |

| schestowitz | "Sad but true. Many people use GMail for instance and then everybody communicating with them leaks all metadata + data to Google (same for other Google services like Docs, GTalk, ...). The same also for storage services like Dropbox which is pretty popular. Not everybody uses her/his own infrastructure individually but most of it is shared which also means that it determines your choices. What else can you do than to convince | May 27 23:37 |
| schestowitz | others to switch services if you care about privacy?" | May 27 23:37 |
| schestowitz | "To get people off Gmail, you have to find a service that you and your friends might trust. It would be better to first convince your friends to use encryption like gpg before you worry about Google. ;-)" | May 27 23:38 |
| schestowitz | " | May 27 23:41 |
| schestowitz | Encryption is a defensive measure in a hostile medium and only works to a certain degree. The only unbreakable encryption is one-time pad encryption, which is unpractical. The problem with Google is that it stores the data infinitely (and you cannot even control its distribution if you are suspect of US surveillance). Encryption might be safe today, but what happens to your data in 10 years? in 20? (E. Moglen has pushed this | May 27 23:41 |
| schestowitz | argument for a web of *free software* distributed social communication with e.g. FreedomBox). There has been no unbreakable technique in the past and if you take into account that NIST/NSA has selected both DES and AES (1), encryption might fool you into false safety quickly. AES might be reasonably (read: mass-) breakable by NSA already. (2) And *no* communication is excluded from NSA tracking. (3) | May 27 23:41 |
| schestowitz | Also using GPG makes mail a peer to peer and not a group medium. I am susbscribed to many mailing lists, which also means that Google gets all my data, because on all lists are people with GMail accounts. You cannot encrypt this communication. You can also not encrypt communication with people without offering their private key, which means all outside communication is trackable. | May 27 23:41 |
| schestowitz | And even if I would be able to use GPG with all my peers, all metadata still is tracked. This includes sender and receiver, date, title, sending hosts (=route of mail and source server) and all additional headers (like Mail client + version, List-Id...). This data alone is gold for data warehouses. Even the fact that you speak to people can get you on a watchlist and might bring you surveillance you cannot protect against, | May 27 23:41 |
| schestowitz | because you don't know it. With NDAA you can also potentially get detained by US military for this act alone. Also the fact alone that you use GPG encryption with some peers and none with others is precious information if tracked and mapped. | May 27 23:41 |
| schestowitz | This problem needs an infrastructural fix, you cannot avoid that with proprietary service providers. But I am afraid that it also is not solvable unpolitically anymore, as long as US citizines accept their government's anti-terror scheme this will get worse as long as we use the current commercial tier-1 providers like AT&T. Either the Americans force their government to step back from these policies (which would involve a | May 27 23:41 |
| schestowitz | massive standup) or the Internet is screwed. We need non-profit free and transparent network-structures, no less. Google in its current form is definetly not part of the solution. | May 27 23:41 |
| schestowitz | And sorry to say that, but Mail is so easy to get. Even running your own mail server is not rocket science and it runs for years without much interference in your basement with nearly unlimited storage quotas and ad-free webmail. You can take some small non-profit provider. It is unbelievable that people sacrifice their and their peers privacy to cooperate (not NSA) spying for storage worth 5¢. Chosing not to use Google/* | May 27 23:41 |
| schestowitz | services is the first step into taking the infrastructure into your own account. If you use proprietary infrastructure, you cannot emulate safety on top of that without an enormous performance penalty and fragile reliability (like TOR). You cannot also not be safe individually. | May 27 23:42 |
| schestowitz | Having a look at these developments in the US (and therefore in other intelligence services as well) it is almost cynical to tell people to use GPG to be protected. GPG was powerful in the arms race of the 90s, but it is weak in todays infrastructure and will be broken in 10-20 years. We need to step our game up quickly or we might be in 1984. "Newspeak" is here already with the terrorism-frame. | May 27 23:42 |

| schestowitz | US ISPs make it difficult to run a mail server. If they don't block the port, they rudely assign dns records to your IP address which conflict with whatever you might try to set elsewhere and almost all big email providers refuse to receive or deliver mail to them. | May 27 23:42 |
| schestowitz | ISPs and the US Government also suck up email independently, so you are not that much better off running your own server than you are using gmail. I still recommend that you run your own mail servers or use one run by an organization you trust. | May 27 23:42 |
| schestowitz | The issue of public email lists is moot because they are public. A private discussion list that's open to the public is strange but it too can use public keys if the list owner wants. | May 27 23:42 |
