In 2023, Signal was the first mainstream messenger to enable post-quantum cryptography. We’re still ahead of the (elliptical) curve, implementing a new hybrid PQ ratchet ensuring Forward Secrecy & Post-Compromise Security even in a post-quantum world. signal.org/blog/spqr/
We are excited to announce a significant advancement in the security of the Signal Protocol: the introduction of the Sparse Post Quantum Ratchet (SPQR).
which algorithm fixes the ability for someone to subpoena the CDNs you use to get the IP addresses of everyone who viewed an attachment in a group chat?
Hah! saw my first Imgur fallout in the wild. Developer shared a screenshot of a kernel boot issue, other developer responded "blocked in the uk" so they had to upload it elsewhere
Extremely pleased to announce the release of the ActivityPub Fuzzer! This is a tool that runs in a local development environment and (partially) emulates known ActivityPub software. It can even create a fake local "public fire hose" shaped like what you might see if you hooked your in-development software up to the real Fediverse.
I built this because I wanted ways to test in-progress fedi software for compatibility without actually making it live and breaking things.
Your Review: Project Xanadu - The Internet That Might Have Been "...The original idea was to make a file for writers and scientists, much like the personal side of Bush's Memex, that would do the things such people need with the richness they would want. But there are so many possible specific functions that the mind reels. These uses and considerations become so complex that the only answer is a simple and generalized building-block structure, user-oriented and wholly general-purpose...." astralcodexten.com/p/your-revi…
You cannot get through a single day without having an impact on the world around you. What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.
well, with my air pods pro 3 I now have no more things that use a lightning connector. time to get rid of a bunch of cables. My kid's iPhone 13 still uses it. too bad there isn't a newer version of that ambeo headset. I liked that thing but it won't connect to my phone anymore.
I don’t know the answer to your question, but it’s interesting that when I walk through Union Station during rush-hour, I’m off and wearing an AirPod in one ear. It will almost always start cutting in out. Just due to congestion of Bluetooth I’m fairly sure.
Release 25.10 is here! The Eloquence IBMTTS Community Dictionaries just hit a new milestone with nearly 1,500 new and updated entries, and a major overhaul which resulted in the removal of 94 duplicates. Entry stats: • Abbreviations: 84. • Special words/main: 1215. • Roots: 62011. Check it out: github.com/eigencrow/IBMTTSDic…
Looking reasonably likely that #SOURCE magazine issue 3 will be out tomorrow! 27 pages of supercool #opensource tutorials relating to opensource hardware! I'm off for a lie down now after laying all those pages out!
I know some folx are surprised to see David Heinemeier Hansson (DHH) publicly sharing statements that mirror the rhetoric of white nationalism. I am not. The writing has been on the wall for years.
This is what Mediocre: The Dangerous Legacy of White Male America by Ijeoma Oluo laid out so clearly: the myth of white male supremacy ensures that unremarkable white men can position themselves as thought leaders, innovators, or even DEI champions, while...
This is how I know them: If it's a cheap undershirt, it's a wife beater (also known as an "A-Shirt"). If it's a shirt you're meant to wear it's a tank top.
Had a classmate who went to Walmart and asked an old lady working there "where are the wife beaters at?" and she replied "in jail I hope!". Still makes me laugh RT: flipboard.com/users/cbcnews/st…
We held another #Fedora Installfest at the local university in #Brno today. In recent years, we have been dealing with fewer and fewer #Linux problems and more and more #Windows problems. Today, it was all "Fedora works fine for me, but I also have Windows in dual boot and VS Code there gives me an error when I try to compile."
Morello is a modified quad-core Neoverse N1 with CHERI support. The UK Government funded a lot of the development and there are a few tens of them left over that don't yet have homes.
They look like real computers (ATX case, HDMI out). The under my desk runs CheriBSD (FreeBSD fork), KDE with its Wayland compositor and a bunch of userspace apps, with everything including the GPU drivers memory safe. It can also run AArch64 binaries, but that's less fun.
If you're doing interesting research that would benefit from CHERI or if you are looking to evaluate building products on CHERI systems, reach out to the CHERI Alliance.
CHERI RISC-V (the 'Y' base) is near to standardisation, so there should be RISC-V CHERI application cores available fairly soon, but the Neoverse N1 is a fairly advanced microarchitecture (designed for server chips) and it will probably take a while for RISC-V chips to equal it in performance. It was a fairly rushed conversion to CHERI, so has a few significant performance artefacts that won't be there in a production chip, but this is still probably the best opportunity to get a desktop CHERI system for at least the next year or two.
🌟 BIG NEWS!! The CHERI Alliance now distributes Arm Morello boards 🌟
... the #CHERI development journey continues beyond DSbD
The CHERI Alliance is thrilled to announce that, following the end of the Digital Security by Design (DSbD) program, we hav…
I was hoping I wouldn't have to send this, but after seeing a certain troll impersonate a friend here on Mastodon last night, I wanted to let everyone know that in case you receive things supposedly from me on another account, it's obviously fake. I'm most definitely NOT moving to another instance anytime soon.
Join us for the Matrix Conference this October. The four day conference will take place in Strasbourg, France. Talks will be streamed live and virtual attendees will be able to ask speakers questions.
@debacle you definitely should, past releases tend to hammer the matrix servers with a lot of useless requests. I had fucked up but fixed it! :grimacing:
#LambdaMOO (...guess it'll wait until *after* I announce that I discover some outstandingly stupid mistake, so... time to get this out of the way: )
I have now dropped LambdaMOO 1.9.0alpha
Should I make it to an actual ready-for-prime-time release, this will be the first since 1.8.1, roughly 25 years ago.
I'm looking for anyone *already* running a MOO instance of some sort (*) who needs a path forward (I figure for each of the 3 or 4 I know about there should be others I don't, which should add up to at least several) to kick tires and try it on on your own platform and maybe others that I can't do myself.
(*) and perhaps other folks who build unix software for fun, who are bored today
A deep, well-researched & cited piece from @sundress detailing systemic failures down the web stack (standards bodies, browsers vendors, etc) which marginalize #accessibility and its voices — but with proposed solutions.
@desertcamel @invidious_user No, due to the built-in encryption that's not possible. But we might enable you to use other mail services in our clients via IMAP.
With a “flashing red warning light” heralding years of low oil prices, and a major Canadian fossil company joining its international peers in laying off hundreds of workers, a Simon Fraser University political scientist says no new oil pipeline will …
It’s cool to do non-violence if that’s your jam and non-violent resistance is definitely one tool in the toolkit but having people willing and able to do violence against an oppressor has been a pretty big part of the success of every “non-violent” movement in history.
Elites downplay the effectiveness of violent resistance throughout history because they know violence is actually effective as a form of resistance.
When I was a child and learning about the Suffragettes in secondary school, their use of violence was touched upon but it was drummed into us that their use of violence was actually very bad and the important thing was their peaceful protesting.
The flotilla is on the High Seas and not in Israel’s 12 mile territorial sea. Israel has no jurisdiction.
An attack by a state military warship on a vessel on the High Seas is an attack on the flag state of the vessel attacked.
The possession of vessels and the abduction of crews at sea can be pursued as a crime in domestic jurisdictions and is not just a crime under international law.
Craig Murray, former head of the maritime section at the UK’s Foreign and Commonwealth Office
Not sure y'all, I'm slowly losing my mind over Windows. This is what I've become. The reviewer who 20 years ago was there writing about Longhorn, has lost his marbles. Yup. This is how it ends, folks. I lose my mind and sanity over Microsoft Windows, forever tortured by what I've lost since then. Lost all hope, forever wandering the hallowed halls of the world, asking, "has this build fixed Explorer yet?" And so the day of me primary-booting Linux draws nearer. I'm becoming unhinged.
As I believed myself to be insane in the membranes already, I raw dogged Linux blindfolded (apart from a tiny gap) when Win 7 lost support. So far, not looked back.
ahaha love this little dialog. Go suck it Microsoft. "Page not available dialog Page not available The page you are trying to access has no supported features and is not available." (Core isolation settings) I ripped out the entire Security center and control panel. If someone can get me the Security Center from Windows XP back onto my Windows 10, I'll reconsider it, for now all that cruft is junk to me. I don't want a hyperviser runnning just so it can isolate it into its own namespace. Nope. Not taking the performance hit of that.
