#FediTips


My #introduction:

I did two years of engineering school and two years of journalism. I'm a geek who loves to tell a story.

I make #comics, #illustrations & #paintings. I do a lot of #memoir work, kids books (#kidlit), and speculative #fantasy.

I've spent about 15 years in the world of #infosec (thank you, day job!) and I do a lot of writing and podcasting in this field. I'm not an expert but I am a nerd for #tech and #privacy.

Links are all in my profile if you want to learn more. I'm not gonna spam you.

This is not my first time on Mastodon but I'm trying to consolidate a bunch of my older profiles right here.


Fucking hell, as some of you have pointed out in the comments, also, it’s tied to my router. I have the same router I had in Malmö. If this is not a GDPR violation, I have no idea what is.

So Mozilla – Defender of Privacy™ – is storing my location history, tied to my router, without ever having gotten consent from me to do so.

This is a fucking scandal.

The chrome's developers themselves are explaining why you should *not* use their browser: contrachrome.com/

The conversations.im #XMPP server is now free to use. I verified the legitimacy of this message with the lead developer of the app. Pretty awesome that they decided to stop making money from something because they were able to meet their needs elsewhere, :-) #privacy

I still have concerns with #Matrix and #privacy, aminda.eu/blog/english/2021/08…

In this case #WhatsApp would provide self-destructing messages that
@matrix doesn't support unless you count m.room.retention that is apparently experimental and shouldn't be used. github.com/matrix-org/synapse/…

Sure there is a ticket since 2016, but not much activity that I can publicly see github.com/vector-im/element-m…


RT @apotheon@twitter.com

The benefits of @MatrixDotOrg@twitter.com over #Discord are many, but Discord has one huge killer feature:

When I see a #privacy project whose only realtime comms platform is on Discord, I know the people in the project either don't care or don't know enough about privacy (or both).

LibreWolf browser: telemetry stripped Firefox fork - worth trying if you are annoyed with Firefox recently but don't want to join the Chromium crowd: librewolf-community.gitlab.io/ #linux #browser #firefox #fork #librewolf #privacy #alternative #foss


If you use #Google Photos, there's a non-zero chance that there are secret, yet public URLs attached to your photos that allow un-authenticated access to every picture in your account. Mine did, and I tested the addresses in incognito and tor browsers and they worked. #privacy
