…just this guy, you know.
this is really, really interesting. thank you for this.
instance reach and relationships are pretty wild and I can see this helping people to mix up their communities between instances.
the tight groupings of some instance communities might be source of pride or distress, depending.
would be nice to select a community and query its n closest overlap neighbors or all neighbors within a certain distance.
very cool project.
the thought of unconfined napalm suspended above could make for at least a few restless night?
the Rust kernel could be many years away from being finished.
the number I saw floating around was 3 years to production useful. regardless, C’s end days as the go-to, large systems level language are drawing nigh.

md5 has been broken for years, but thats pretty damn cool scary.

a trap at every turn.
couldnt read the whole article, but I would say, this is an “oh, fuck.” moment for a lot of people
The FBI tries and cannot unlock a recent phone. they allegedly turn to a private company for emergency access and they are in within hours(?)
I think many people should reevaluate their threat model and mitigations after this. perhaps this changes nothing for you. perhaps it changes everything for you.
We don’t have any evidence for this statement, and we can never prove the negative (that a device is absolutely secure).
does anyone have info on crooks’s phone make/model (and an OS version guess)? I have not seen this anywhere and, if it is not already in the public domain, why?
FBI says they got the phone contents in the clear. that gives some boundsfor both known (easy) potential compromises and “oh, fuck.”
edit: typo
edit 2: still no detail but I found this…
The phone was a relatively new model, which can be harder for law enforcement to access than old phones because of newer software, according to technology experts. In many federal investigations, it can take hours, weeks or months to open a suspect’s phone.

unless this information is now a state secret, we may learn more.
I know this may be pedantic, but
it’s just that the newer phones are secure… For now.
that statement suggests that other recovery techniques (e.g. hardware decaping, state zero-days, etc), dont already make absolutely current devices insecure.
it would not surprise me that a TLA with physical access could not recover enclave information and completely expose naked storage in 2 days or less - its just a matter of how urgent is. a former president nearly loosing their head might count as pretty damn urgent. meddle with the us power structure and it will protect itself - if not the particular individuals.
if you noticed any power dips in your area right after the attempt on trump, that was probably the local NSA cluster firing up.
amazing what a little sweeping up, tidying the cupboards and taking out the trash can do.
oh, I think its worse than that.
“nothing will change until we have extracted maximum value from selling you the poison and you then beg us to sell you the ‘solution’, suckers!”
LMDE - the emergency escape hatch for mint. gotta love the forethought.
I just went from small dark closed box to a nice huge green open(source) forest…
best. sentence. ever.
enjoy your new found freedom to explore and learn, friend.
as a followup to how useful your visualization is, I have started spreading comments across a wider selection of instance communities.
this is something I have considered before, but your visulazation made the possible utility and usefulness of doing so much more “real”.
