@amolith Is your email 'common' or easy to guess? I have a gmail account with first initial, last name, no numbers or anything since I was an early gmail beta user. I have 4-5 'imposters' with the same first name-letter and last name who keep forgetting to add their bits to their email signups, so I get their registrations from time to time. I've had to resist cancelling airplane tickets, insurance policies, etc. sooooo many times >:)

RLabs/xs: Update v0.9.2-pre updates

- packets now use EtA per Krawczyk2001 (cautionary as it refers to block not stream modes, but better safe than sorry) https://bit.ly/36sALzi
- authToken logic fixes to drop privs for writing authtoken files to assure proper ownership
- authToken logic fixes to allow connecting to remote as other users

xs - Alternative to ssh, written from scratch in Go. Post-Quantum KEM with traffic chaffing and SLACK!

@Meeper @chjara @coyote I haven’t tried either of those, I’ll check ‘em out thanks!

May I ask why you didn’t like openrc? Maybe I’m just not fussy enough but it seemed fine for my needs so far :) (I dont’ mind sh scripts in /etc/init.d/ at all, so perhaps I just am used to them…)

@coyote @chjara @Meeper Any distros other than Funtoo and Devuan are now dead to me, since those are the only ones I know of that still support sysv-init and openrc officially.

The Privacy FoundationNov 9, 2020

Overly technical software installation is a huge blocker for most people. This stops people from using privacy-protecting Operating Systems like #Linux.

If we are to get people into #foss products that are better for #privacy, please add "simple installation" to your issues list if you #dev or #market software.

@kzimmermann Hell, while we’re at it (this would require grassroots router-flashing and point-to-point links to implement a parallel grid to bypass ISPs: a new HAM radio-esque cabal!) http://bill.herrin.us/network/ipxl.html

The inconvenient truth is that there is no such thing as a backdoor that only lets the good guys in. The EU's resolution on encryption, released yesterday, could result in a net decrease of everyone's privacy and security: https://protonmail.com/blog/eu-attack-on-encryption/
EU resolution paves the way for future anti-encryption laws

The Council of the EU released a non-binding resolution that calls for tech companies to find technical solutions to let authorities access encrypted data.
