This is the exact same reason why I switched to iPhone. iPhone SE too!

Great article, @kev, good job.

My new blog is live! Come check it out at l1cafe.blog

Will be adding new features over time, probably.

I ended up scrapping my progress and started from scratch. I'm testing and developing my blog's new design at testing.l1cafe.blog. I used mmistakes.github.io/jekyll-the as a base.

Let me know your thoughts!

@ultem Seems like this instance doesn't have this post for some reason, but yeah, that sounds like a good idea! I'm not an expert by any means but I'd love to have someone to play with.

iOS app developers will now be forced to use the background connectivity APIs exclusively for voice calling, which is what they were designed for theinformation.com/articles/fa

Hooray for battery life, hooray for privacy!

I for example set the score increase to 4 for messages coming from these free services, and my SpamAssassin filter starts flagging e-mail as suspicious at 5, and as spam at 8.

Because the negative scores from these DKIM, SPF and DMARC policies will deduct points from the 4, e-mails will only get flagged as suspicious if they contain obvious spammer techniques such as all-caps subjects, or mention viagra, or money.

If you're a (e-mail admin) and struggle with incoming spam, I suggest you increase the SpamAssassin score of all e-mails coming from Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, Yandex and other popular free mail services.

This is because these services usually have excellent reputation and always pass SPF/DMARC/DKIM checks.

The point is to neuter these score reductions because of compliance, so that if a message contains suspicious words that SpamAssassin dislikes, it's going to get flagged as spam.

Does this orange-on-black color scheme look good or is it too flashy? 🤔

New blog theme is coming along nicely. What do you think?

Just finishing the last touches!

Thanks, Tian Qi.

is embedding tracking data inside photos you download.

I noticed a structural abnormality when looking at a hex dump of an image file from an unknown origin only to discover it contained what I now understand is an IPTC special instruction. Shocking level of tracking..

Honestly I ran out of ideas for my blog, and I don't know what to post. I could keep posting CTFs but it seems kinda unappealing to me... Suggestions?

Hello @john_tedesco. Thanks for the follow. I guess you found me through some Mastodon mass-following tool while you were searching for people in Information Security / Hacking.

Reading your contact page johntedesco.net/blog/contact/, have you considered...?:

1 - Signal. End to end encrypted, FOSS and only requires a phone number.
2 - Threema. Audited, Swiss-made, closed source, single payment application.
3 - Keybase/traditional PGP/GPG.

Let me know if you need help setting any of those up.

In all honesty I knew I shouldn't trust closed source software for my notes. Especially not Microsoft-made. But it felt really convenient for the time. Until problems started appearing, exactly when I needed my notes the most. This is unacceptable for a multinational multibillionaire enterprise, with so many incredibly talented engineers.

But you disappointed me again when I tried to move note sections to a different notebook from my iPad. Then, your app crashed and my notes were left in an inconsistent state. Some notes appeared on the new notebook, but others showed as "not synchronised yet", and every time I tried to open the iPad app again, it crashed within seconds. So you lost my university notes.

I'm going back to regular file sync. Hello @nextcloud, good bye Microsoft.
