Just something to keep in mind for those not in the security space. When a security company does an audit, its generally a checklist of commercial and custom security software along with a couple people poking around looking for more manual harder to find stuff. But there's a reason companies like Mullvad have a bug bounty program.... Just because cure53 didn't find it, it doesn't mean some bored hacker won't..

Absolutely better than nothing though.

This should have been much more well thought out The wording, image, buttons, specific wording for each page.

They really screwed the pooch.

Another 4-6 months minimum before release. But quarterly numbers must be met.

Good stuff. Not thought about enough. GPS spoofing random routes also.

Do a lot of reading. Get a cyber informations systems basics overview on your own self-teaching before you try to understand it all.

Stay away from session and matrix. Signal, Nostr, SimpleX (nvm if you use Apple products) and the like are okay, but they are all hobbyist influencable products besides Signal which gets fat government grants and just happens to use the same encryption standards as all other huge name E2EE tools.

Stuff is fun to learn on, but get a good VPN (debates about.... mullvad, ivpn, cryptostorm seem okay). here's something fun for you and free: https://www.thc.org/segfault/

Then maybe you're okay.

A number of people can see your IP, people will chime in and add to ane remove from this list:

Can't see it:

  • Random people you personal message with
  • Random people you chat with in rooms

CAN see it:

  • Server admins
  • People you share (send/rcv files with) // this may have been fixed
  • People who send you links and you click them, but this isn't specific to Matrix, it's a tale as old as time.
  • You voice call with someone (may have been fixed)

Some info may be wrong. But having someone's IP in the days of routers and all filtered ports means little, unless you piss off someone who knows some low level customer support person @ your ISP to pay to get your account info. Or you're dealing drugs in which case use TAILS and stop fucking with technologies you don't know the specifics of.

If they knock you offline and you can't access anything at all, unplug your router AND MODEM (most importantly your modem) for an hour. Go touch grass for an hour. Widdle a wee branch. Plus your boxes back in and you'll be bright as new.

@possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip this isn't meant to be a dig at you, although last time you didn't care to correct or learn if I recall,but often times you leave out the "if so," "possibly, what and XYZ?'" and it ends up spreading misinformation because you didn't know enough or care enough to type enough.

I love Matrix but we need to be open about what the fish is before skinning it..

Facebook was all those things in the beginning.

Reddit was all those things in the beginning.

Twitter was all those things in the beginning.

LinkedIn was all those things in the beginning.

The Internet in general was all those things in the beginning.

I've never used IG/TT but I assume they were all those things in the beginning.

Lemmy will probably be said to be most of those things in the beginning.

With age comes wisdom, which comes once you've seen the pattern happen enough times, which can only come with age.

Sincerely,

One of those old people.

My main takeaway from this article is that is that the British equivalent for energy is how many kettles you can boil. American football fields are jealous and feeling quite flat.

Dude, if you're struggling that much, I'll pay for a few months for you so you can try it out. $15 for 3 months, or do you have to pay yearly? I have no experience with medium but I get a ton of good info from medium articles and it's a great resource.

Also, Relay Pro was the only allowed 3rd party app, and they just released an update that requires you to pay for API usage, with no way to bypass or exit the pay screen. So that was the last of my last reddit usage. Uninstalled.

Oh, they know exactly what they're doing.

The entire karma train could ride in the eBussy's marketing department.

This is interesting. Even skinny Americans? I've never heard this, but I have heard you can tell someone is American because people from elsewhere don't lean on things when standing.

Israeli company legally allowed to produce and sell digital spycraft, only to verified western nations, has clients of dodgy and murderous origin. News at 11.

I wonder if Jamal Khashoggi would still have been brutally hacksawed into individual bits in an embassy if not for Pegasus.

Call me crazy but I have my doubts.
