Governments world wide have no control over @wikileaks and that scares them, what scares me is the notion that all other news outlets are more or less controlled.

I don't know if Signal is completely safe. What if they were required to send out an update to the application that also transmitted data in cleartext to a third party. It would look exactly the same to the user.

As long as you don't have reproducible builds and there is no way for the community to verify that everybody is running the same code (using a separate process that is independent of the application vendor) this is incredibly difficult to guard against.

@loke Also, shameless plug for those who need something extra when the chat tools aren't sufficient: github.com/modrobert/SecureCha

@loke What I dislike about Signal is the phone number requirement, making sure they can pin the user metadata to a person even if messages are safe from decryption.

@loke I used to have one of these back in the 80s, what I would suspect is that they need recapping (replace electrolytic capacitors) by now due to the CRT tech used.

BTW: This looks interesting...

An Advanced SWR meter I built about a month ago. It calculates phase shift so can compute a complex impedance and complex SWR, something most meters cant do. Schematics included.

If you are here on Mastodon. You have made the first step to liberation.
Now, please speak up about Julian Assange and participate in the global movement so that his dignity is given back to him.

Most censorship techniques adopted by ISPs around the world are subtle, so it can be hard to distinguish intentional government censorship from transient network failures or other issues.

Transparency is essential.

OONI's dataset is probably the largest publicly-available resource on internet censorship to date:

@loke Not really "syntax" related but stumble across this using Python recently:

>>> x = (100 + 1.0/3) - 100
>>> y = 1.0/3
>>> x == y
False
>>> x
0.3333333333333286
>>> y
0.3333333333333333
