don’t be the condom. be defective.

should I activate my trap card now or later?

thanks!

I’ve been looking for that for the past 30 years.

I’m hearing a common theme to poor application security here.

• host through vpn
• don’t expose publicly
• use a free subdomain provider

Removed by mod

so I could create slop and then promote it from an alt and it would be fine?

what’s the point in having tags in the first place?

understandable, but this community requires posts promoting projects that use AI to be tagged.

and I have to be on the blocklist.

I don’t think he’s done anything legally significant to anyone else. Being a dick isn’t a crime.

he created the legal definition of a botnet, which is a crime.

dbzer0.com is hosted out of Bavaria. that means his botnet crossed international borders which means he can be charged by every country along the way of the crime.

all it would take is some anonymous tips to the FBI and German authorities and he would be investigated and likely charged.

dude was an asshole for stuffing a hidden blacklist into his platform. once he made the change to create a botnet, he became a criminal.

Debian.

waiting for the rug pull from Ubuntu once their corporate overlords decide to pull an IBM.

wouldn’t that either be disabled due to the low battery or eat up the remainder of the battery?

I would think snapping coords, even at low accuracy, would be more power efficient since it technically doesn’t have to connect to more satellites and requires less compute.

great idea, but a suggestion.

instead of just one ping at 2%, do three within 10 seconds of each other. this would determine direction and rate of travel.

you always gamble with upgrades just before vacation! /s

Signal had privacy problems?? Maybe using Google play notifications?

I’m not a fan of having my personal identity tied to it. last I checked signal still requires a phone number.

looks like I might have been wrong originally, but it looks like signal actually does fwd secrecy as well as post-quantum encryption.

keep in mind I’m replacing telegram. I have put off moving for some years but I have the itch to replace it now. simplex also has the closest feature-pairity to telegram out of all the messengers on that list.

also I’m building and hosting this for very nontechnical users. if they heard tor they’d think it was the “darknet”.

my goal is

• keep it secure
• keep it private
• keep it simple

signal has privacy problems.

xmpp/jabber/snikket have encryption and security problems.

from what I can see simplex has everything I need.

• selfhosted
• e2e encryption
• forward security
• routinely maintained
• does not require user IDs

My hesitation to using simplex is the selfhosting aspect of it. I’ve been researching the simplex protocol (SMP) and have been thinking out ways to develop a serverless version of it, that way you don’t get charged for something that’s not being used if you host it in the cloud.

anyway, just my 2¢.

I’ve been doing research on this and came down to two.

1. simplex
2. delta chat

simplex won because of the robust encryption and selfhosted option.

a close contender was stoneage. I liked all it took was an S3 bucket. I didn’t like that it hasn’t been updated in 3 years.

get into secops and start hacking banks.

that’s a job, and it pays well even if you suck at it.

let’s get real…google isn’t going to stop. why would they? there’s zero repercussions for their aggressive strategy against their own consumers.

so stop using their products. cut google out, entirely.

just don’t “google it”.

at the molecular level at that.
