The signal protocol is solid, so people argue there isn’t a known fault with the protocol which is true.
SVR prevents signal from having access to the keys directly, you still need to compromise SGX (which happened two years ago) or access to intel signing keys.
So the signal foundation doesn’t have a trivial way to access keys, but the TLAs do.
It’s automated testing to see if they can force you to login.
My VPN (mullvad) lets me use socks5 proxies for any exit node, so when I hit this I just change my freetube proxy number and it works. Annoying
It would be nice to integrate a list of socks5 proxies into freetube and have it auto rotate
Fwiw: signal is a honey pot, perhaps not by intent but by architecture.
Security postures are driven by capabilities not intentions.
Signal:
Thus a three letter agency has the capability of breaking signal, even if they don’t intend to.
As a thought experiment imagine you run the intelligence service of a non-us ally country (nk, Iran, China, Russia, etc) - would you in good faith recommend using signal, as is, for your classified and sensitive government communications?
SVR stores master key backed by a trivial pin, but uses Intel sgx enclaves to prevent brute forcing… a TLA just gets Intel to sign new code for the sgx enclave that allows brute forcing, runs it against the cloud data extracts master keys, and ta da all communication revealed.
Signal allows people to store their master key using a random bip32 key, but even if you do this, none of your contacts will do this
Having worked with such setups before, yes the top row is used, infrequently but watched
It’s easier to make fun of people then to engage with them, because engagement requires honest intellectual rigor
Only people with compromised circulation? Last I checked only 96% of westerners have compromised metabolic health.
So this article is saying for 4% of the population aphrodisiacs are ineffective. Ha
The term of art is “price discovery”
Adults are better at delayed gratification, children aren’t. As we get older we’re able to make our expenses less and less expensive, because we can wait for the optimal moment.
The $70 price tag is aimed at games for teens who haven’t developed the ability to wait, who suffer from heavy emotional swings and have a big case of fomo.
Some of the key features expected by Discord users have yet to be prioritised (game streaming, push-to-talk, voice channels, custom emoji, extensible presence, richer hierarchical moderation, etc)
Holy clickbait batman!
If you have a international branch of a Chinese bank nearby setup a account. Icbc is everywhere. If your visa allows it get a local bank account setup asap! Makes life so much easier
Consider a VPN like obscura which proxies behind http3 quic for harder identification
I’ve had success with mullvad in china myself. Get two vpns setup.
If you bring a sim card with you, the data is usually routed out of china to your home providers network without filtering.
Bring a backup cell phone, no particular reason, it’s just good to have a backup setup Incase you lose your main phone.
The major problem isn’t getting a VPN to work, it’s having it work when you need it. VPNs in China go up and down all the time. If your meeting someone and need to message them and the VPN is down… Your going to have a bad time.
Privacy: everything you do in china will be monitored, all your traffic patterns, every WeChat and qq message. If you want to have interesting conversations try to move them to signal or simplex over a VPN.
This isn’t a meme, it’s a crime
The funny thing, the truly funny thing, Is that many people reading this will assume their assumptions about nutrition are fact based and everybody else’s is pseudoscience. Examining the data on your own biases is critical for any standing in science.
