Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️So after 16 months of illness I'm back on my feet and applying to jobs, but I'm completely broke and the combination of car+power+storage for 6 people is due, with a lot of late fees added in.
I'm sorry to ask, but any amount would help. Thanks so much!

Software and music. I'm here for the internet nonsense.
Jeff AtwoodThanks for the reminder to cancel Disney+. As my wacky Jethro Tull loving high school history teacher used to say, "you gotta hit 'em in the pocketbook". That was his primary take from all of U.S. History. And he's right. So let's really hit them where it hurts: the money.

@b0rk I very much appreciate that you go on dives like this! And I'm grateful for the degree to which you expose the journey of pulling on these curiosity threads. It has inspired me to be a more curious engineer.

Thanks to everyone in the fediverse who has favorited, boosted, and reached out to me supportively over the injunction and takedown order that I wouldn't comply with (overview: https://infosec.exchange/@PogoWasRight/114110520940142405)
Special thanks to @zackwhittaker for reporting about it all on #TechCrunch:

Here's my post on the court injunction my site got hit with: HCRG Care's lawyers claimed an injunction issued in a "private" hearing required us to remove two posts. We didn't comply. HCRG Care was represented by the Pinsent Masons law firm in the UK in this matter. The injunction was issued by the High Court of Justice, King's Bench Division, Media and Communications List by the Honorable Mr. Justice Soole. Pinsent Mason's attempt to get my web host to remove my posts also failed. As always, I feel blessed to have the legal support of Covington and Burling's Kurt Wimmer Pro Media Freedom Initiative, which has represented my site pro bono for the last 16 years. Read about the letter, the injunction, and why the High Court's over-reaching injunction endangers UK journalists and doesn't serve the public well. https://databreaches.net/2025/03/05/hcrg-cares-lawyers-claimed-an-injunction-issued-in-a-private-hearing-required-us-to-remove-two-posts-we-didnt-comply/ Oh, and I'm not the only one ignoring the injunction. Medusa also got served with the injunction via tox chat, they tell me. And like other injunctions they have received, they are ignoring it. So what has HCRG really accomplished? #databreach #ransomware #Medusa #transparency #censorship #pressfreedom #injunction #FirstAmendment @[email protected] @[email protected] @lawrenceabrams @[email protected] @amvinfe @lawfare @[email protected]
Soatok DreamseekerEncryption shifts the economics of attack.
Plaintext can be slurped up by dragnet surveillance and analyzed at the attacker's convenience.
Transport-layer encryption makes passive attacks ineffective, forcing governments to attack the servers to spy on everyone.
End-to-end encryption like Signal forces governments to choose their targets and expend resources on attacking each one, proactively.
The more people that use E2EE for traffic the governments aren't interested in, the more goddamn haystack there is to sift through in search of needles.
The economies of scale go away if the E2EE makes popping servers useless to the governments. This is why I insist the centralization of Signal is a red herring.

domi (networking witch)According to all known laws of DNS, there is no way a fedi instance could be hosted on an .ARPA domain.
Even if you get ahold of a domain like this, it should only be used for PTR records - right?
The instance, of course, federates anyway - because DNS doesn't care what humans think is impossible.

@catsalad ...is there a longer version of this song? It has been stuck in my head since I saw this post. Complete with spacefish mental imagery.
Never seen The Expanse but if this is the vibe I'm into it
