#Tails video player had a vuln that reveals the user's real IP address. Use lynx and hit "v" to view this: https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/v7gd9b/facebook-helped-fbi-hack-child-predator-buster-hernandez

@fsnet @switchingsoftware @fruechtchen @paulakreuzer The big companies involved are affected by boycotts and sharing well before anyone at the bottom feels it. Salaries still pay out regardless of the profit margins at the top.

@Br0m3x just found out archive.org has an onion host (http://archivecrfip2lpi.onion/) & archive.org archives other onion sites. This makes it tempting to share articles from #Tor-hostile sites simply by prefixing "http://web.archivecrfip2lpi.onion/web/". I like the simplicity but it misses the opportunity to show ppl just the text (not the ads).

@Joachim_Rees @selea @angristan @nipos CloudFlare is still benefiting even if #Tor is whitelisted. Whitelisting is actually worse b/c some Tor visitors don't know they're helping their adversary. I actually prefer CF sites not to whitelist Tor, as the CAPTCHA reduces the chances of accidentally visiting a CF site.

@theprivacyfoundation @ProtonCalendar @protonvpn @protonmail resist.bot is a #CloudFlare site - i'm not touching that thing with a barge pole.

@LPS @ar@persadon.com it's also worth noting that #Fdroid has be proven scientifically to be more secure than #google playstore: https://nsl.cs.waseda.ac.jp/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/submitted_wama2017.pdf

@sintzoff @bortzmeyer I can't imagine writing a book in markdown and converting it to #LaTeX by #pandoc while maintaining sanity. I could perhaps see its usefulness if there are co-authors who contribute small simple parts, if they don't know LaTeX.

@bortzmeyer @sintzoff I just did a simple test by sending a markdown table to "pandoc -f markdown -t latex" and it was a disaster. The output prefixed every cell with "\begin{minipage}[t]{0.05\columnwidth}\raggedright\strut..." crazy. Every cell took a page.

@Tutanota very cool. Glad to hear it!

@Tutanota A high principle of #netneutrality is access equality. Tutanota does not enable non-tuta senders to have the public key of Tuta recipients, which forces all senders to obtain a Tutanota acct. IMO Tutanota should embrace access equality like Protonmail, & make this possible.

@theprivacyfoundation So i think the privacy problem is solvable. But note that Bruce Schneier makes an interesting case for #ContactTracing apps being /ineffective/: https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2020/05/me_on_covad-19_.html which is perhaps a better case than the privacy case.

@theprivacyfoundation an app could generate a unique #, exchange it w/another instance over bluetooth, & keep a local db on the device. If someone is positive, they could publish the unique numbers they crossed paths with post-infection. Those ppl could voluntarily decide whether to anonymously publish their list if unique numbers after the contact point.

@theprivacyfoundation if a privacy-respecting app catches on quickly enough, it could take wind from the sails of the more oppressive variants (which would come from #Apple & #Google)

@theprivacyfoundation what do you think about ppl voluntarily using a #privacy-respecting #ContactTracing app to pre-empt a forced privacy abusive tool? bluetrace.io could almost fit the bill. It uses bluetooth to avoid a centralized db, but it forced ph# disclosure so still needs to evolve.
