This is a reason to always use passwords instead of biometrics (fingers, face, palm, etc). A corrupt court cannot force a password to be revealed by the citizen.

Never speak with or offer any assistance to the police or government. It will come back to hurt you.

In my opinion Ollama has become so far off course with their licensing and user hostile features [1] that the only sane options I've come across is using llama.cpp.

To not even be able to disable data being exfiltrated with their automatic updates is terrible behavior.

That's what happens to a large amount of classified info; it ends up getting released eventually for various reasons.

Information needs and wants to be free for humankind.

People need to investigate the FBI. They would be shocked at their crimes. The recent Epstein news comes to mind but that is only the smallest tip of it.

Always use encryption for anything. Encrypted messengers are great, but I would never trust Signal. It requires phone numbers to register among other issues, has intelligence funding from places such as the OTF, and their dev asset Rosenfeld is a whole other issue.

This happens with every company that has your sensitive info. When the government asks for your info, the companies provide it.

Some ways around this is to either not store sensitive user data on servers, or if that needs to happen then encrypt it with user supplied keys.

This is insightful work, great job.

Recently someone else revisited the Snowden documents and also found more info, but I can't recall the exact details.

Snowden and the archives were absolute gifts to us all. It's a shame he didn't release everything in full though.

Typical cyber warfare techniques.

There were some leaks. Some of the events I would need to check my offline documents for more specific references but, for example, the Reddit leak with a person who was working at the jail saying that he had to let in someone associated with the military and they left shortly after Epstein was killed.

France has been authoritarian against secure or private software for some time now.

Veracrypt stopped development in France and moved TLD's to .jp (though they also physically moved).

That's good to know and I wouldn't use the service in that country after learning this.

It's always good to know how different countries try to violate us in different ways.

TPMS scanning is particularly nasty. I've been meaning to read up more about all of the potential ways it can violate our privacy. Sorry that I don't have any further info about it in this case.

Google will use your family's pictures and memories "to improve Google’s AI assistants, like Smart Compose or AI-generated replies."

Someone will ask a Google AI service to generate an image some day and your daughter will be used. And that's one of the least worrying outcomes.

This is great work to show relationship and connections. The government gets scared from these types of efforts as there are many members who are extremely guilty of crimes related to this and others.

We need to expand on network mapping with data and areas as well.

The company in the article.

Everyday there is a new article about another Israeli company violating us.

It needs to stop.

This is some of the most important work possible in tech presently.

With the rise of LLMs and the extreme censorship by these gigantic companies partnered with the government, we need a way to completely remove this assault on our freedom. They are attempting to control what we can see, what we can ask, or what we can know.

AI must answer any prompt without hesitation. Anything less and we lose everything.

I've only had a chance to skim this repo but thanks again.

Your company is sheltering some of the worst individuals who work to destroy privacy and security.

From the link that you posted, the first thing it asks for is your full name. This is the same when attempting to signup for the VPN service. If paying with crypto, the process tries to steal even more info from you such as zip code and country. No other normal privacy or VPN services ask for a full name or zip code.

The "freedom policy" on the site talks about how the company won't spy on anyone or do anything to compromise privacy, then goes on to talk about "think of the children!"

Minors might subscribe to privacy services. Vp.net would harm minors more than a child predator due to the false sense of security and privacy.

The business lies to everyone saying it is secure because of SGX, which has new vulnerabilities pop up weekly.

Polygraphs must not be used as they are completely unreliable and subject to many issues.

The government does a lot of security theater and campaigns to make you believe that they are competent.

It has been said that the main reason for the attack on Archive is because Israel needs to cover up their crimes. There is too much evidence in the open.

It's the equivalent of burning a library down because books have records of the truth.

Adguard deserves the highest praise for publicizing this attack on them.

There seems to be a coordinated effort to down vote technical insight in this thread.

Some entity does not want this type of info out there.

"... is not the exact same language, which isn"t really about security but about absolute control of the device.

The parallels are astounding, given that Microsoft's signing process of binaries also meanwhile depends on WHQL and the Microsoft Store. Unsigned binaries can't be installed unless you "disable security features".

My point is that it has absolutely nothing to do with actual security improvements."

I agree. It is the same type of language.

Bluetooth is horrible and can't be replaced fast enough. It's also very insecure with rumors of that being on purpose, just like many other technical implementations.

Recently:

https://www.malwarebytes.com/blog/news/2025/07/bluetooth-vul...

Agreed.

Also Secure boot is vulnerable to many types of exploits. Having it enabled can be a danger in its self as it can be used to infect the OS that relies on it.

"Debian already is sideloaded on the graciousness of Microsoft's UEFI bootloader keys. Without that key, you could not install anything else than MS Windows."

This is only true if you use Secure boot. It is already not needed and insecure so should be turned off. Then any OS can be installed.

It isn't very difficult, see my earlier post. Once successfully converted the cash can be used in a multitude of different ways.

With an imagination and taking proper anonymity safeguards, the possibilities are endless.

As long as one takes moderate measures to stay anonymous on the network level, an exchange that is P2P or doesn't force KYC can be used to convert. There are many of them out there.

Fees may be higher is a note.

These unfortunately gullible people would be tricked in many different other ways throughout their daily lives even if it wasn't for the ability to install something on a device that you paid for and outright own.

We don't cater the most stupid in society.

Use privacy preserving coins such as Monero instead of Bitcoin as it is much more safe. Not bulletproof, but much better.

Monero also complicates any type of investigation much more than Bitcoin. It is very hard for investigators. They also don't want to burn techniques unless the case is absolutely massive.

Also make sure to never use an exchange that forces KYC.

ClosedAI vacuums up and hoards all of your private chats to do terrible things and now complains when they must hand over your precious data without them receiving their cut.

This is funny!

This is correct. Our natural rights go much further than unnatural prohibitions from the government.

Do what you please and get enough people to do it with you, and no one can stop you.
