@nikolal do you think the company details and APK signatures they quote are fakes?

Just playing with Unit, a new web application server from Nginx team and it really, really nice... unit.nginx.org/ I should be transitioning my Django apps to Unit soon.

Great idea for use of blockchain is publicly signed and verified diplomas from university, where ministry of education and faculty would sign your diploma ID and post it on blockchain. Large QR code for verification would look really awesome on office wall.

As @KateOflaherty reports, Gmail's "confidential mode" isn't private. It lets senders create expiry dates & revoke sent email, but emails aren't private from Google, hackers, or gov't, like w/end-to-end encrypted email (i.e. @ProtonMail, @TutanotaTeam). forbes.com/sites/kateoflaherty

If you follow the discussion about Conversations.im registering with Roscomnadzor you should be probably also aware that Threema.ch did that already in 2017... reestr.rublacklist.net/distrib

Someone from 240e:00f7:c::22 (Chinatelecom) is slowly port scanning my /64 subnet. At the current rate it will take them 116'988'483'471 years to complete but they will reach the first allocated IP in only 80'429'582'386 years. RFC 4941 is your friend.

The U.K.’s data authority has found "under [GDPR], using people’s sensitive personal data to serve adverts requires their explicit consent, which is not happening right now."

Stronger legislation is one thing, but it must also be properly enforced. forbes.com/sites/emmawoollacot

@drequivalent @rf F-Droid другое дело - там разработчик загружает исходный код а сервер из него делает APK

@drequivalent @rf фирма является и оператором сервера и автором клиента; в магазин Google фирма выкладывает только APK и в нём может быть что угодно

@villain @rf Они умеют :) мой первый вопрос Данелу был такой - какого хера вообще? Значит он что то от них хотел или его попросили его клиенты из РФ, то есть на него уже есть какое то влияние

@kayros @villain @rf Если есть аккаунт в conversations.im - удалить и поменять клиент на open-source а сервер на любой другой

@villain @rf нелепое обьяснение с его стороны... РКН и тем более ФСБ так не работают. Сейчас его могут заставить не только держать данные граждан РФ в России но и предоставить модифицированное обновления для граждан РФ

Немецка фирма разработивающая Conversations.im зарегистрировалась в Роскомнадзоре и сейчас обязана отвечать на запросы ФСБ roskomsvoboda.org/48119/ reestr.rublacklist.net/distrib @rf

Conversations.im has just registered with Russian Roscomnadzor which means it has now obligation to provide user details FSB roskomsvoboda.org/48119/ reestr.rublacklist.net/distrib
