Yeah, no dice, the better sensors these days don’t have any problem with that. Check out Project Farms recent doorbell camera review. He actually walks up to the doorbell camera with a full on flashlight in the pitch black of night and they still have no problem.

Yeah, a high-res image giving the position of ears, eyes, and nose is damning.

ears and eyes alone give you a shocking amount of identifyability. We’re getting real fucking close to the CSI levels of facial identification.

It’s only a matter of time before this is everywhere. It’s spreading like the plague it is. When it finally gets down to just the last few providers, they’ll be watching them like a hawk.

We need some kind of peer-to-peer network with plausible deniability built-in. like you decrypt all the chunks forward and you get segments of Linux ISOs. And if you decrypt them backwards, you get the actual payload. Old school Vera Crypt style.

There are a couple of peertube servers that aren’t horrible. TILVids is particularly decent.

But until somebody works out monetization for these people, it’s probably going to be Slim Pickings.

At a minimum, peertube is going to need to support private videos for Patreon to have proper effect.

The very platform you’re clinging to is on Death’s Door and they’re actively breaking YouTube’s terms of service while still using the service.

None of the other platforms are even close to replacing YouTube. They can’t handle the scale or the features. And none of them are heading towards being able to accomplish this.

YouTube is a capitalist utopia funded with more money than God. They provide unlimited free storage and transmission of all videos sent to their platform. They fleece videos for copyright and legal impingements. They gather corporations willing to spend on advertisements and link them directly to end users uploading data, and when they reach a threshold, they pay them.These funds pay for the unlimited amounts of storage at levels that no other platform could handle.

The other platforms that are open to us don’t make enough money to do any of those things. We’re relying on the funding, development, and administration of a couple of generous strangers.

Clarification:

CERT Fd up and called two whitehat disclosure accounts malicious

Proton did not check these accounts before they torched them.

Specifically for the type of privacy and security that Proton offers, I would expect a slightly higher level of customer service. Perhaps a message to the end user saying we are considering terminating your account. And giving you a chance to appeal before you knock it out.

This is by far not the worst thing they’ve done and in some sense it’s not completely unreasonable. But I think they could do better.

My best guess would be your friend is being thoroughly tracked and they know who he semt the data to and they have a basic mapping of you.

It supports more complicated subtitles and menuing, more codec support (like a LOT more) lossless support, mode audio formats.

It’s like they took MP4 and added in all the stuff that you needed to replicate a BluRay, then added in lossless audio.

If you just want a movie with basic subtitles and audio, MP4 is fine. If you want to replicate newer stuff, MKV supports it.

The real hot part of this is if you have a collection of high-quality video/audio and you’re streaming it to firefox, you’ll natively be able to do so without transcoding.

We’ve been poking at it for a while now. The parent company is demanding we see where it can fit. We’ve found some solid spots.

It’s not good at ingesting a sprawling project and rooting in changes in several places, but it’s not bad at looking over a file and making best practice recommendations. I’ve seen it preemptively find some bugs in old code.

If you want to use a popular library you’re not familiar with, it’ll wedge it in your current function reasonably well; you’ll need to touch it, but you probably won’t need to RTFM.

It’s solid at documenting existing code. Make me a manual page for every function/module in this project.

It can make a veteran programmer faster by making boilerplates and looking over their shoulder for problems. It has some limited use for peer programming.

It will NOT let you hire a green programmer instead of a vetran, but it can help a green programmer come up to speed faster as long as you forbid them from copy/paste.

Not OP, Remember, it’s hard to read true tone through text. It read to me is sarcasm, but not particularly spicy, and also not entirely inaccurate.

I do wish we could all have less tone issues. This place is getting a bit toxic, but fuck, it’s still better than Reddit.

;)

No company will break the law for you, but you can, on occasion, manage to do business with a company in a location where the laws are favorable to your activity.

Exit all your torrent traffic in a country that doesn’t care enough to hunt you down.

Im having trouble drawing a line to why Charlie Kirk has fuck all to do with anything in any country in Europe.

“European Parliament President Roberta Metsola on Thursday rejected a bid by right-wing factions”

That’s the stage the US was at about 15 years ago.

Which is actually a bit of a problem, he’s been pretty effective at being a propaganda spreading machine.

I will say that seeing all his no empathy pro-gun death comments coming back to be used against him does warm the cockles of my heart.

Different people have different wants and needs.

Your real problem might be censorship.

But your uncensored messages are going to other people who might have a problem that’s not censorship. When you sent that message to your uncle last week about all the horrible things done around the world, and he gets stopped at the border to another country, and they used a certain unlocking software provided by another country with a really big intelligence service. Now his ass is waiting in lock up for agreeing with you on a message. His problem isn’t censorship.

There are lots of ways to avoid censorship. There are very few to remain anonymous while you’re doing it.

It’ll right itself when the CEOs stop investing in it and force it on their own companies.

When they’re not getting their returns, they’ll sell their stocks and stop paying for it.

It’ll eventually go back from slop generation to correction and light editing tools when venture stops paying for the hardware to run tokens and they have to pay to replace the cards. .

TOR is rough, i2p is rough, ipfs is nearly dead

Gemini protocol is lit and fast but dead. it’s like a fancier version of gopher.

If we could all move over to gemini, i’d be stoked, no javascript, limited cgi bin opporunities

I bought it the wrong time. I had a house and paid for 15 years lost $200,000 in the sale.

I would have actually done quite well to rent instead.

Oh, hell no.

You do not want the ISPs to be the cops. They are a neutral provider that gives basic Internet access. If that access is to be terminated, it should be done by a court, and there should be a police case.

Having the ISP’s doxx the users is an unfavorable but more proper answer. But every one of those should be a court case at least. Innocent until proven guilty, not just shut down because they think you might be guilty.

They implemented usernames to identify people so we could stop using numbers to find each other.

They still use numbers (cell and possibly device/network ids) they say to identify and secure (or so they say).

The idea is without access to your cell phone, nobody’s going to get access to decrypt your data.

I tried to make a new account for my child recently. You need a number. It wouldn’t even work as a first signup on a wifi only tablet.

I tried to uninstall on my phone, set him up a new acct with a VoIP number then move the account to his tablet. It constantly failed when I uninstalled and put my account back on my phone.

You can only use one cellphone. Of you switch between two, it has to deactivate on the other.

Then you can have 4 or 5 other devices but that acct is tied to an activated cell phone and it gets screwy if you change that phone.
