| schestowitz | even if they just visit 1 (ONE!) page | May 24 00:20 |
| stormchaser3000 | sending fonts... why? | May 24 00:20 |
| schestowitz | I was dumbfounded | May 24 00:20 |
| schestowitz | like, WHAT DA FUNK!! | May 24 00:20 |
| schestowitz | why? | May 24 00:20 |
| stormchaser3000 | why not just specify the font family and a backup in-case it doesn't exist on the user's system? | May 24 00:20 |

| baronhk[m]1 | I noticed that apparently the only server-side difference with Spotify Premium is Very High Quality and Download (still DRM'd, you can just listen without an active connection). | May 24 01:14 |

| kingoffrance | agree. "bowed". and "corporate" is just a knee-jerk catchphrase it seems (which "side" isn't "corporate"? ) | May 24 03:30 |
| MinceR | i am not corporate | May 24 03:31 |
| MinceR | the independent developers that made free software great are not corporate | May 24 03:31 |
| kingoffrance | i mean foundations, legal entities, etc. | May 24 03:31 |
| kingoffrance | giving to LF is more "corporate" | May 24 03:31 |

| baronhk[m]1 | LOL@ "IRC is 20 years behind the rest of the internet and is white male dominated." | May 24 03:32 |
| MinceR | LF is so corporate they kicked out all their non-corporate members | May 24 03:32 |
| baronhk[m]1 | I think they are committing hate speech against white males. | May 24 03:32 |
| MinceR | indeed | May 24 03:33 |
| MinceR | but it's the "woke" thing to do | May 24 03:33 |
| MinceR | so it's ok | May 24 03:33 |
| MinceR | you see, racism and sexism are not the problem, but whom you pick as your targets | May 24 03:33 |
| kingoffrance | really, to be alive you need: 1) animation 2) corpse so everyone is "corporate" in that sense. and the dead are *just* corporate. and religions have their own definitions of "alive". point being, the "corporate or not" is largely red herring | May 24 03:34 |
| MinceR | lol | May 24 03:34 |
| XRevan86 | It's almost impressive how incapable the people are at understanding what the people with a different opinion are talking about. Maybe it's the lack of context. | May 24 03:34 |

| XRevan86 | I feel the weight of not understanding most of what anyone's even talking about. | May 24 03:35 |
| MinceR | on that channel, and in connection with the current drama, people have tried real hard to sort people they disagreed with into the tribe they hate | May 24 03:35 |
| MinceR | hence accusations of "trumpism" | May 24 03:35 |
| kingoffrance | ^ | May 24 03:35 |
| kingoffrance | sorry lol | May 24 03:35 |
| kingoffrance | couldnt agree more | May 24 03:36 |
| kingoffrance | if you lack info, "closest approximation" in their heads perhaps | May 24 03:36 |
| MinceR | media have also been reorganized so that most of it is echo chambers catering to a particular tribe | May 24 03:36 |

| baronhk[m]1 | users/developers. | May 24 03:40 |
| baronhk[m]1 | Now they quietly just ship a gimpy version of something calling itself "Firefox" for that platform. | May 24 03:40 |
| kingoffrance | other way to say that: if you get rid of all corporatism, you are debating spirits/religion at that point | May 24 03:41 |
| MinceR | they stopped caring about firefox being firefox | May 24 03:41 |

| baronhk[m]1 | I meant they should have kickstarted a more modern one when they had lots of users and cash to throw around. | May 24 07:36 |
| kingoffrance | sure, just mean there was precedent somewhat | May 24 07:36 |
| kingoffrance | search engines arguably killed those types of "listings" | May 24 07:36 |
| kingoffrance | but when trying to find it, i saw business stuff still likes "curated" type stuff | May 24 07:36 |
| schestowitz | abuse of them did tooo | May 24 07:36 |
| kingoffrance | or business people debate whether SEO is worth getting listed on those types of things or not | May 24 07:37 |

| cybrNaut | does that self-updating apk run over Orbot? | May 24 15:40 |
| cybrNaut | and more importantly, does it rely on Playstore to grab the updates? | May 24 15:41 |
| *xgqt has quit (Remote host closed the connection) | May 24 15:42 | |
| cybrNaut | Moxie likes his stats, so i would assume he's coded it to depend on Google, in which case downloading the APK from signal.org could eventually lead to a Playstore download anyway. That should be looked into | May 24 15:44 |
| trttl | if play services are present it will used it | May 24 15:48 |
| *koo6 has quit (Ping timeout: 268 seconds) | May 24 15:48 | |
| trttl | but it's not dependent on it | May 24 15:49 |
| cybrNaut | so if Play svcs are unavailable, the self-update will fetch from signal.org, over Orbot? | May 24 15:50 |
| trttl | orbot? | May 24 15:50 |
| cybrNaut | Orbot is the Tor client for Android | May 24 15:50 |
| MinceR | considering what the CIA does, it sounds plausible that they could found a corporation that is not (or at least not officially) owned by the CIA | May 24 15:52 |
| *xgqt (~user@static62133140007.ostnet.pl) has joined #techrights | May 24 15:55 | |
| trttl | i know it's just unclear what's the connection between the two. you don't need orbot in order to use signal | May 24 15:59 |
| trttl | but you can force your traffic through tor | May 24 15:59 |
| cybrNaut | trttl: if the app is self-updating, and it does so outside of Tor, the problem is that your IP address can identify you to the software repo, in which case you can get a special version select for you (if you are targetted). But Tor counters that, of course only if Playstore is out of the loop | May 24 16:01 |
| trttl | i don't follow your logic | May 24 16:02 |
| cybrNaut | A user should demand that self-updates happen over Tor. But for performance reasons they may want comms to go direct to the other party | May 24 16:02 |
| cybrNaut | which part are you lost on? | May 24 16:03 |
| cybrNaut | it's the same problem as with javascript from Protonmail, for example | May 24 16:03 |
| trttl | you already have a username that is persistent | May 24 16:03 |
| cybrNaut | i would hope the username is not part of the update transaction. If it is, then that's a big problem that should be spotlighted | May 24 16:04 |
| cybrNaut | it would violate the data minimization that Signal users should demand | May 24 16:05 |
| trttl | .. | May 24 16:05 |
| cybrNaut | are you saying userid is part of the software update transaction? | May 24 16:06 |
| trttl | i think we misunderstood each other. i was talking about something else | May 24 16:06 |
| cybrNaut | there are only 2 scenarios where a self-updating Signal app is safe: 1) if everything is done without Playstore and it's all over tor (at the cost of performance), or 2) if Signal self-updates from signal.org over Tor, and comms are either direct or over tor at the user's discretion, which is incompatible with Tor-by-force. | May 24 16:11 |
| cybrNaut | case 2 is ideal, but i doubt the Signal config gives users the option of certain traffic over tor and other traffic not. | May 24 16:13 |
| cybrNaut | i won't install Signal so I can't see what the config looks like, but hopefully the auto-updating can be disabled | May 24 16:15 |
| trttl | i don't see how in the settings | May 24 16:19 |

| cybrNaut | trttl: are you saying auto-updates can't be disabled, or that there is no way to select what traffic goes over Tor? | May 24 16:26 |
| trttl | there's no option to set a proxy and there's no option to disable updates | May 24 16:28 |
| trttl | when you're on cellular you're broadcasting your location+imsi+imei. if your signal account name is the same as your actual phone number then tor is of little help | May 24 16:33 |
| trttl | that's why i don't follow your logic | May 24 16:33 |
| cybrNaut | different parties see different things. Assuming you are using mobile data & not wifi, the carrier sees your IMEI but beyond that only your unprotected traffic is visible to the carrier. Signal.org and Google should not be seeing your IMEI# | May 24 16:37 |
| cybrNaut | if you use wifi and the software is well coded, then no one sees your IMEI -- but note that Google Playstore's app shares your IMEI with Google, which is why it's important to avoid Playstore | May 24 16:39 |
| cybrNaut | does Signal function if you put your phone in airplane mode, with only wifi running? | May 24 16:40 |
| cybrNaut | i'm sure it must, because Signal has a desktop app | May 24 16:41 |
| trttl | yeah and some parties have subpoena capabilities and can see everything | May 24 16:41 |
| cybrNaut | a subpoena is a different variable which may or may not be in your threat model, but in the end the subpoena is still limited by technology. The subpoena can be served on any 3rd party involved, but that party can only give what they have | May 24 16:43 |

| cybrNaut | if the Hushmail steroid dealers had downloaded the javascript under different accounts & over tor, the subpoena could not have forced disclosure of their traffic due to tech limitations | May 24 16:48 |

| cybrNaut | trttl: indeed, if targetted surveillance is in your threat model, Signal is not the best choice, but still feasible. It's a matter of getting a burner phone or pinger # just for registration then chucking it. Snowden is targetted for sure, but uses Signal. You can still "do it right" with Signal with targetted model if you know what you're doing. | May 24 17:57 |
| cybrNaut | phobos: using Signal is "asking to be targeted"? How so? | May 24 17:58 |
| MinceR | signal's attitude toward f-droid makes me distrust signal | May 24 17:58 |
| cybrNaut | "you could say that it's possible to sign up with a burner but why even use signal at that point." <= you can't always choose what your correspondants use | May 24 17:59 |
| cybrNaut | "the main selling point of signal is easy contact discovery " <= if you do it right, the contact discovery feature will be broken | May 24 17:59 |
| phobos | cybrNaut: Using your real name or a screen name that can be linked to your real identity in this day and age is asking for trouble. There is always someone that will disagree with whatever you have to say or some image you upload. Unfortunately, so many these days can't just accept that someone thinks differently than they do so they try to make all levels of trouble for that person | May 24 18:00 |
| phobos | Ask some of the people that made comments a decade ago how that worked out | May 24 18:01 |
| cybrNaut | MinceR: indeed. a lot of things should make you distrust Signal. see https://github.com/privacytoolsIO/privacytools.io/issues/779 You can't trust OWS (the Signal makers). | May 24 18:01 |

| phobos | Many journalists can also tell you how thats working out for them too for reporting the truth about some issues vs the approved narrative | May 24 18:03 |
| cybrNaut | phobos: it depends on where that ID is presented. Signal does not expose metadata like that. but even if it did, it is "asking to be targetted". That falls into the "everyone who protects themself from snooping is suspicious" thinking, which is what NSA hopes for. | May 24 18:04 |

| cybrNaut | s/it is asking to be targeted/it is not asking to be targeted/ | May 24 18:06 |
| phobos | Is there such a thing as secure technology these days? If so, we need to inform credit card companies, banks, fund me sites, etc that all claim to be using secure tech, yet somehow suffer from massive data breeches. Some have even gone on for months before being detected | May 24 18:06 |
| phobos | *cough* *yahoo* *cough* *capitalone* *cough cough* *equifax* *hack* *chase* | May 24 18:07 |
| cybrNaut | phobos: security is relative, and something is "secure" if it satisfies your threat model and the risks are lower than the alternatives | May 24 18:08 |
| cybrNaut | the "nothing is secure" rationale for not pracicing security is defeatist | May 24 18:09 |
| phobos | If I didn't know better, I'd say that sounds like a case of 'if its just a few breeches in which a few people might have their data exposed, its justifiable.' But I do know better. | May 24 18:09 |
| cybrNaut | s/pracicing/practicing/ | May 24 18:09 |
| phobos | Besides, wouldn't it be better if people took a proactive approach to safe guarding their data vs merely relying on a company to do it for them? | May 24 18:09 |
| phobos | Whether we like it or not, breeches happen despite the most insane security... NASA can tell you about that | May 24 18:10 |
| cybrNaut | phobos: by avoiding security you expose yourself to even more breaches. The defeatism is a losing propasition either way | May 24 18:10 |
| cybrNaut | of course you can't have absolute security -- this is not good reason to not practice security and choose hardened tools | May 24 18:11 |
| phobos | Who said anything about avoiding it? I'm merely saying that maybe people should take a more proactive approach to things. If you value your life and job, or are worried about your family being targeted because you might piss off some liberal, wouldn't it be better to use a screen name that can't be easily traced back to you? | May 24 18:12 |
| cybrNaut | phobos> Who said anything about avoiding it? <= "Thats more than doing it wrong... thats asking to be targeted" | May 24 18:12 |
| phobos | Yeah, by using your real name in a social media setting | May 24 18:13 |
| cybrNaut | using security tools like Signal is not "asking to be targeted" | May 24 18:13 |
| cybrNaut | Signal is not "social media" because the payload is not public | May 24 18:13 |
| phobos | Signal... isn't that one of those projects that originated at the NSA? | May 24 18:14 |
| phobos | Or at least the encryption? | May 24 18:14 |
| cybrNaut | the metadata is not public either | May 24 18:14 |
| *Ariadne has quit (Quit: hopping away, into the sunset) | May 24 18:14 | |
| cybrNaut | phobos: Tor was US Navy invented and CIA funded. That doesn't mean it's sensible to not use it | May 24 18:15 |

| phobos | cybrNaut: What do you think of VPN providers? | May 24 18:17 |
| cybrNaut | they are hard to trust, but if you choose one that's EU-based and you're outside of the EU, it's an improvement over letting your ISP snoop | May 24 18:18 |
| cybrNaut | i still run Tor over VPN to minimize the VPN's visibility on traffic | May 24 18:18 |

| cybrNaut | i think you also have to consider the size of your ISP and the size of the VPN service. If your ISP is AT&T or Comcast, you'd be a fool not to use a VPN because the bigger they are, the better equipped they are to monatize your data | May 24 18:23 |
| phobos | And CenturyLink aka Qwest | May 24 18:24 |
| trttl | you can't compare signal to tor. one is a closed and centralized service, a single entity is in full control of both client and server and expects you to tie your identity to your account. using that service requires blind trust. the other one is just not like that at all | May 24 18:24 |
| cybrNaut | If the VPN is bigger than your ISP, you might be better off without the VPN. | May 24 18:24 |
| phobos | trttl: I wasn't comparing the two. Merely wondered what cybrNaut thought of VPN | May 24 18:24 |

| baronhk[m]1 | <schestowitz "is 32GB of RAM enough to run Vis"> 16 seems to run it fine. | May 24 18:26 |
| cybrNaut | trttl: tor & Signal aren't comparable because they're not even the same class of service. And one can aid other -- they should be combined, not compared | May 24 18:26 |

| baronhk[m]1 | It seems Mozilla VPN is the same cost as Mullvad VPN. | May 24 18:37 |
| trttl | mozilla vpn is mullvad vpn if i'm correct | May 24 18:37 |
| baronhk[m]1 | Most likely, the revenue for Mozilla comes from an affiliate revenue share program. So they're not just adding cost to something else. | May 24 18:38 |
| trttl | malwarebytes vpn is also mullvad vpn | May 24 18:38 |
| cybrNaut | trttl: you may not need to trust them. But certainly you need to trust the code (which i told you earlier you should inspect) | May 24 18:38 |
| trttl | mullvad has some whitelabel service or something that they sell to those people | May 24 18:38 |
| baronhk[m]1 | Actually, 55 cents a month less to go through Mozilla. | May 24 18:39 |
| trttl | cybrNaut that's not an argument. i can't verify what they do on their servers | May 24 18:39 |
| trttl | the code they publish is out of date | May 24 18:39 |
| baronhk[m]1 | It's $5.55 USD at Mullvad or $4.95 a month to use Mozilla's client. | May 24 18:39 |

| trttl | the cellebrite thing is more smoke than fire | May 24 18:41 |
