#HELP

I just received a concerning email from the OTF (@opentechfund.bsky.social) stating that a major source of their funding is in jeopardy.

If you care about open-source, anti-censorship, or the open internet, please consider supporting one of the projects they fund.

@Andromxda @mollyim no it's not bs and fanboying @signalapp isn't going to change that.

If #Signal was secure it would be the #1 comms tool of organized crime...

Real professionals use #SelfHosting capable, fully #FLOSS'd solutions like #PGP/MIME & #XMPP+#OMEMO.

It's just me reading the room: Cuz #ComSec isn't done woth "JuSt UsE sIgNaL!" and everyone who claims so without pointing out #OpSec, #InfoSec & #ITsec is BSing hard.

  • The cold hard truth is that #TechLiteracy is irreplaceable and the only solution to it is to actually teach normies how to "get gud" with stuff like PGP.

Fortunatelty, @thunderbird and @tails_live / @tails / #Tails and many other tools make that easier than ever before.

#Trump streicht dann mal Gelder für #Tor, #Tails, #FDroid, #LetsEncrypt, #Quad9

Ich werde von #Tesla​s dann wohl auch als Mitfahrer Abstand halten. Ich habe keinen Bock ins Kreuzfeuer (Rachehacks) zu gelangen und als Kollateralschaden enden.

EDIT: Hier stand ursprünglich, dass Musk/DOGE für die Streichung verantwortlich seien, es geht aber auf ein Trump-Dekret zurück.

@tails The update from #tails 6.12 to 6.13 has destroyed my private volume on two usb devices independently of each other :-( In both cases, after entering the password, it started to fiddle around and never stopped. Help, what's going on?

@froge @fj I'm not replacing @signalapp with "random tools" but good options.

Like @delta & @thunderbird as well as @monocles / #monoclesChat & @gajim which work flawlessly over @torproject / #Tor using @tails / @tails_live / #Tails and @guardianproject / #Orbot respectably.

Considering the costs of even acquiring and upkeeping an #anonymous #SIM, I'd rather pay €2 p.m. for #XMPP+#OMEMO and #PGP/MIME-supported #eMail with the option of self-custody than $2,50+ p.m. just to keep a phone number.

Or is anyone here expecting @Mer__edith to risk jail for life amd not comply with #CloudAct?

It stenches like #ANØM, because NOTHING IS FOR FREE and running a #VCmoneyBurningParty is expensive...

Infosec.SpaceKevin Karhan :verified: (@kkarhan@infosec.space)@osman@hachyderm.io If your #OpSec, #InfoSec, #ComSec and/or #ITsec relies on @signalapp@mastodon.world and/or @Mer__edith@mastodon.world [risking jail *or worse*](https://web.archive.org/web/20210908180219/https://twitter.com/thegrugq/status/1085614812581715968), you fucked up! - If #Signal was secure, it would've been shutdown like #EncroChat & #SkyECC. Seriously, to me #Signal stenches #Honeypot like #ANØM & #CryptoAG. - All Signal fans do is #FUD #PGP/MIME and#XMPP+#OMEMO which are truly #decentralized and allow real #SelfHosting as well as #SelfCustody for complete control of all the data and keys... That's why I get people setup with it!

This is the current progress of the project. We will continue preparing for the workshop and translating important articles. Additionally, we have established a Tor Relays observation station to monitor the operation status of Tor Relays in Taiwan. For detailed information, please refer to this article.

@StaceyCornelius In the past I did configure seperate systems for clients so they can travel without fuss regardless if "P.R." #China or #Russia or the #USA or #KSA...

  • The trick is to never have anything on your device and have a dedicaded burner!

Using @tails_live / @tails / #Tails and @torproject / #TorBrowser and when that's not an option, a #SSH-Tunnel / #OpenVPN or #WireGuard-#VPN to be able to #VNC into a machine.

  • Remember: They can only extract data that was saved on a machine!

CONSIDER THE #US ENEMY TERRITORY AS IN "If you wouldn't enter #NorthKorea, then why would you enter the USA?"
