ReversalHatchery,

I’m not sure if at this point the browser verifies whether the cert is even legit for github.com

ReversalHatchery,

If course it’s not on the OP, it’s on Phoronix. This is a shitty title from any party, but from them last least I would have expected more, instead of just attributing the performance to a specific distribution, the most corporate-y one no less.

If you find the torrent files or the magnet links you used, and you add them to your torrent client again, it should be able to pick up your existing files and seed them (if you haven’t renamed or moved the files). Before you do that, make a backup of the files at least for the first few torrents, in case the client starts overwriting your existing files. In that case you may need to do something, like to start a “recheck” operation. If it hasn’t done that for the first few, it’s safe to assume it won’t either for the remaining.

ReversalHatchery,

Or, you could just shut up and not say “just google it” anymore. I think that’s the real solution.

Alleged RCMP leaker says he was tipped off that police targets had 'moles' in law enforcement (www.cbc.ca)

According to Ortis, briefed him about a “storefront” that was being created to attract criminal targets to an online encryption service. A storefront, said Ortis, is a fake business or entity, either online or bricks-and-mortar, set up by police or intelligence agencies....

ReversalHatchery,

on the proton encryption, i did know about this but does that apply to proton-to-proton, proton-to-NonProton, or both? if you have details on this let me know.

As I know it applies to both. Formerly they were asking (among other things) about the titles of your latest emails for account recovery. (after I have put all the links here I realized that these don’t give a details on whether this also applies to inter-proton messages…)

A few sources:

proton.me/…/proton-mail-encryption-explained

Subject lines and recipient/sender email addresses are encrypted but not end-to-end encrypted.

www.reddit.com/r/ProtonMail/comments/…/eiphhs7/?c…

…stackexchange.com/…/why-is-some-meta-data-not-en…

either way the fact that they dont makes me feel that proton is a similar honeypot to signal and telegram, where they make a compromise with the five eyes, to give them metadata even if actual contents are safe. metadata can be much more powerful than contents often times

Yeah, might as well be. But if it is, I’m afraid we won’t get to know for a few decades, if ever. And I think it’s still better than the alternatives… the alternative email providers, that is.
If it comforts you, in their reddit comment I linked they mention (in 2019…) that there’s a proposal they support for openpgp to be able to have an encrypted subject line.

ReversalHatchery,

By the way, playing it in the browser it sounded as if it was pretty strongly compressed for consumption, so to speak, but yt-dlp got a better quality version.

Maybe there’s a quality selector of the website, and it has just been mistaken by uBlock as a tracker among the high profile trackers present on the page?

ReversalHatchery,

Yeah, except you aren’t supposed to TOFU.

A better solution would be to have both at the same time.
Browser says: x number of CAs say that this site is authentic (click here for a list). Do you trust this site? Certificate fingerprint: … Certificate randomart: …

And then there would be options to trust it once, trust it temporarily, trust it and save the cert. The first 2 could also block JS if wanted.

I can see this would annoy the mainstream users, so probably this should be opt-in, asked at browser installation or something like that.

Why Not Store Encrypted Emails in Plaintext Locally?

Clients like Thunderbird are great because you have everything stored locally so you can easily search offline. They also support encrypting and decrypting emails in PGP. However, they seem to have the same limitation as protonmail where you can’t search through encrypted emails....

ReversalHatchery,

fastmail

That’s a paid service, right? I don’t know much about them, they may have other pros too, but proton also allows you to use your own email client if you’re in a plan.

ReversalHatchery,

It is, for them.

ReversalHatchery,

Can’t BTRFS be used on a LUKS volume? Or does it have disadvantages?

Faking Pixel 5a

I’ve read on reddit that Google still provides unlimited photos backup if you own Pixel 5a and lower. On rooted Android you can fake that and get free backup storage, but who wants to give pictures to Google?! I was thinking if it’s possible or done by someone to create an environment on Docker by faking device info to...

ReversalHatchery,

The hard part of the problem is not spoofing the pixel, but preserving your privacy.

Your solution solves the easier problem, but it doesn’t preserve your privacy.

ReversalHatchery,

Not really surprising, though
