udev4096··on Tell HN: Happy Thanksgiving
Before bitcoin! Crazy
udev4096··on Tell HN: Happy Thanksgiving
Yes, FUCK MIT. They killed aaron, a brilliant engineer and free thinker
udev4096··on EU Council Approves New "Chat Control" Mandate Pushing Mass Surveillance
Why is this even surprising? Mass surveillance is not a new thing. It's been there since the inception of the internet. This only makes it "official" and is nothing more than a formality. We need to fight back by using decentralized and p2p software
udev4096··on Linux Kernel Explorer
I don't know why you're getting downvoted. It would be wonderful if there was same site for all the big open source projects
udev4096··on Linux Kernel Explorer
It's a better navigation and overall quicker way to read code
udev4096··on Mixpanel Security Breach
> Mixpanel became aware of an attacker that gained unauthorized access to part of their systems and exported a dataset containing limited customer identifiable information and analytics information

Read before you blindly comment

udev4096··on Mixpanel Security Breach
Sam Altman is a con man and certainly the definition of evil. He's certainly not head of engineering so it's not even upto him, not that he's even capable of making such a decision
udev4096··on Mixpanel Security Breach
What kind of notification is this? No actual information is conveyed. It's so vague you might as well not write it
udev4096··on Cloudflare outage should not have happened
Backdooring the internet is certainly a productive venture!
udev4096··on Voyager 1 is about to reach one light-day from Earth
The article points that by 2030, we will lose comms with voyager. Is there a way to avoid it?
udev4096··on Voyager 1 is about to reach one light-day from Earth
Whoever is currently alive won't live to see the absolute worse that earth is going to be in upcoming centuries, if the human civilization even survives until then
udev4096··on Signal knows who you're talking to (2023)
> dragnet of surveillance by ISPs

Yet relying on them for even signing up. How ironic. Signal is good for normies seeking privacy but it's so bad if you look past that

udev4096··on France threatens GrapheneOS with arrests / server seizure for refusing backdoors
You are clearly talking out of your ass. I couldn't care less on your baseless and outright stupid arguments. Have fun running stock or some shitty custom rom
udev4096··on France threatens GrapheneOS with arrests / server seizure for refusing backdoors
e/OS is a fucking joke
udev4096··on France threatens GrapheneOS with arrests / server seizure for refusing backdoors
Are you serious? A storm is heading towards you and you wanna just keep watching it until it hits you? Absolute bafoon
udev4096··on France threatens GrapheneOS with arrests / server seizure for refusing backdoors
It's disappointing to see such blatant misinformation on HN. There has been a wave of these low quality trolls and it's increasing everyday
udev4096··on Signal knows who you're talking to (2023)
Moxie thinks everyone in the world is a fucking normie and people shouldn't be running servers because he hates freedom and loves centralizing everything. It's rare when such a genius cryptographer has hatred towards decentralization

What metadata exactly? Matrix only publishes the absolute required metadata for functioning of federation. Unless you can pin point exactly what metadata and how harmful that is, stop throwing that word around. Whoever is pushing this narrative of "metadata leak" in matrix needs to come up with actual facts
udev4096··on Signal knows who you're talking to (2023)
Hardly an actual mitigation. Temp phone numbers are in abundance and a dedicated spammer can definitely overcome it
udev4096··on Signal knows who you're talking to (2023)
Ultra paranoid group already despises Signal because of it's strict phone number requirement and moxie's stubborn and unreasonable stance on refusing anyone to self-host. Matrix is far better than Signal
udev4096··on Signal knows who you're talking to (2023)
That's false. You can set your phone number discovery to None and even your contacts cannot find you unless you explicitly message them or share your username

"Never"
udev4096··on Kids who own smartphones before age 13 have worse mental health outcomes: Study
It really depends. Not all kids are extremely dumb and get hooked by very obvious attempts from evil social networks. I still have hope for future aaron swartzs and linus torvaldss
udev4096··on Meta buried 'causal' evidence of social media harm, US court filings allege
Who is surprised? Fuck zuckerberg
udev4096··on The privacy nightmare of browser fingerprinting
JavaScript disabling helps a lot, regardless of what author says. It disables most of the tracking attempts, improves security and most of all pages load faster and hardly break if you're just browsing anyway.

The whole article never mentions the gold standard of anti-fingerprinting, Tor Browser. It just shows how shallow the article is when it mentions Mullvad Browser, a fork of TBB, instead of TBB itself! There's also no mention of using an upto-date DNS block list to thwart fingerprinting attempts even more

udev4096··on Comparing Android Alternatives: Lineage OS, ∕E∕OS, and Graphene OS
You'll only learn when you get pwned or worse, your phone gets bricked because of incompetent people running e/OS! The fact that you are failing to even acknowledge the proof and refusing to even do a little bit of self-research tells me everything I need to know about e/OS's userbase. Get out of the echo chamber of using privacy theatric and insecure mobile OS
udev4096··on I am stepping down as the CEO of Mastodon
It's on-par with extreme moderation to the point where they will flag/mute whoever disagrees with them
udev4096··on I am stepping down as the CEO of Mastodon
HN comments rarely resolve only into personal insults. It's sometimes accompanied with the actual arguments but never just insults
udev4096··on Do not put your site behind Cloudflare if you don't need to
I meant serve it on Tor and I2P. With nginx, it's pretty simple and you can simultaneously serve on clearnet as well
udev4096··on Do not put your site behind Cloudflare if you don't need to
OpenAI bots are relentless. I used to see some random requests every time I requested LE cert for making a service public but now, it's always "gptbot"
