We integrated UX research into digital security trainings. We now proudly have a software development cycle that puts users first and respects privacy.

"By cross-referencing just one hour of video footage from public webcams with Instagram stories taken and shared in Times Square, BuzzFeed News was able to confirm the real names and identities of a half dozen people."

@nikolal oh it certainly is interesting, it reminds me of whonix, where the networking is done in one VM, but the actule browsing in the other. This is like whonix, for messaging.
@nikolal I'm a but skeptical though. It does not exactly follow the KISS principle.
@protonmail great, now open source it so we can actually use it.

We've got a new release: Tor 0.4.2.1-alpha.
This alpha release adds new defenses for denial-of-service attacks against onion services. It also includes numerous kinds of bugfixes and refactoring to help improve Tor's stability and ease of development. https://blog.torproject.org/new-alpha-release-tor-0421-alpha
@kyle yh, the only compensation we can give is free hosting. ATM we are still paying this with our own money, our hosting costs roughly 15 bucks a week and we get about 3 bucks a week via donations. Hope to see some nice content of you pop up somewhere though, I liked your qubes is article (bias alert: am Qubes the co leader of the documentation and localization team for Qubes OS)
@MasTorDon I'm seeing your doing alright. How do you plan to finance your instance? :)
@jae@framapiaf.org @glitcher32 I wouldn't recommend pale moon, it lacks modern browser protections like sandboxing and multiprocess.
@glitcher32 we checked it, its good, it even has several security and privacy bonus over normal ungoogled chromium, and all code is open source.
@kyle if you want a blog, at we host a privacy friendly one at write.privacytools.io, based the open source write freely software. Its all free of course :).
@Wetrix @manyver_se @switchingsocial@mastodon.at the problem with p2p normally is that you can easily see where traffic originates from and where you are going. For chat apps this is problematic as everyone can see to whom your talking ( where normally only the central server can do that). This is why people also often recommend vpns to use with bittorrent, so it doesn't look like it came from you.
@micrackbiron I initially only bought it because it could run Graphene OS., but the device is self is surpsingly decent with an amazing camera!
