    Testing Phone-Sized Faraday Bags

    The difficulty of reliably turning software-based devices completely off is no longer merely a hypothetical issue. Some vendors have even recognized it as a marketable feature. For example, certain Apple iPhones will continue to transmit "Find My Device" tracking beacons even after they've ostensibly been powered off. Misbehaving or malicious software could enable similar behavior even on devices that don't "officially" [09:23] schestowitz support it, creating the potential for malware that turns your phone into a permanently on surreptitious tracking device, no matter whether you think you've turned it off. Compounding these risks are the non-removable batteries used in many of the latest smartphones.

    Sometimes, you might really want to make sure something is genuinely isolated from the world around it, even if the software running on it has other ideas. For the radios in phones (which can transmit and receive cellular, wifi, bluetooth, and near field communication signals and receive GPS location signals), we can accomplish this by encasing the device inside a small Faraday cage.

Can these be part of the upload script so that they end up in [15:34] schestowitz > the right directory on the RPi? Then we can change the links in both [15:34] schestowitz > Gemini and HTTP. [15:34] schestowitz Some of my notes on these may have been lost/out of scrollback now. Edited again below: [15:34] schestowitz DONE: [15:34] schestowitz DONE: add links [15:34] schestowitz DONE: add uploads -> pi only (tested locally, will see if it works OK tonight) [15:34] schestowitz NOT NEEDED: add cron hardlink [15:34] schestowitz DONE: remove "plain text" at 3 levels (we no longer need to say this) [15:34] schestowitz DONE: add to index at gemini (extensive testing needed, esp. when more files get added) [15:34] schestowitz LAST TO DO: [15:34] schestowitz change link in irc blog post? Or add 4 more links, for the gemtext version... so 8 in total, 4+4. [15:34] schestowitz add link to bulletin at gemini:// (alongside www link and ipfs hash) - I think this helps when the blog post gets converted to gemini and people can click for gemini:// version [15:34] schestowitz Tonight I will change link in irc for the bots, for all 4 channels. I just need to ensure I get the URL structure right, then will need to push to git again [15:34] schestowitz don't want to do too many steps all at once as it would become confusing ● Dec 07 [18:03] *DaemonFC (~daemonfc@8km4bi263f3k2.irc) has joined #techbytes [18:20] *leah (~leah@wrh2nipuzrd3y.irc) has joined #techbytes [18:58] *germicidal (~TheoStorm@joseon-9og.elr.j9473f.IP) has joined #techbytes ● Dec 07 [19:03] *germicidal has quit (Ping timeout: 120 seconds) [19:21] *DaemonFC has quit (Quit: Leaving) ● Dec 07 [20:35] *DaemonFC (~daemonfc@kex73ikejf6k4.irc) has joined #techbytes ● Dec 07 [21:13] *GNUmoon2 has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) ● Dec 07 [22:12] *GNUmoon2 (~GNUmoon@ht6juftd5p3ia.irc) has joined #techbytes [22:15] *psydroid2 has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [22:17] *tech_exorcist has quit (connection closed) [22:17] *tech_exorcist (~tech_exorcist@u3797vt49iaxc.irc) has joined #techbytes [22:27] *tech_exorcist has quit (Quit: see you tomorrow) ● Dec 07 [23:51] *Grass (~pmthmatri@joseon-83i.6if.02cbo2.IP) has joined #techbytes
