In a world of servers the only Free software is AGPL software

On 8/6 and 8/9, 1945, America dropped nuclear bombs on two Japanese cities and you're hard pressed to ever hear a single peep about it.

personal opinion: any hardware or software that (either)

1. deals with someone's personal or information security

2. goes into someone's body

should be open source and community-modifiable/upgradable.

So the government of Kazakhstan is MITM'ing all SSL'ed traffic https://lobste.rs/s/uqj8nq/mitm_on_all_https_traffic_kazakhstan#c_0boxyk

The way they are doing this is by adding a Certificate Authority (CA) that allows them to snoop all traffic.

This is, by the way, why SSL is criticized as being "only as secure as the weakest CA in your system". Here it's deliberate, but that's a problem in general.

gPodder.net is looking for a new maintainer!

If nobody comes forward by 2020, it'll be forced to shut down. Please boost to spread the word.

Note that this is the podcast-sharing website: I'm not sure about the status of the app, but I think that's still doing fine.

Hi, do you believe me when I say we need ocap security yet

Android: hey do you want me automatically turn on wifi and connect to a high speed network when one is available?

Just updated my Philadelphia-based network infrastructure exploration site with new things I found on the street, https://networksofphilly.org

It also keeps an index of various surveillance-based info requests open with the city police.

Consider starting one for your city!

"Let's switch to Signal: https://signal.org/install"

Uhm, okay.

when you think about it, the idea that software should scale is actually really weird. "sure this garden is nice, but how nice can it be if it doesn't grow to cover the entire surface of the earth?"
