This is kind of a strange article. Of course a court isn’t going to judge by someone’s character or good karma. If the judgement seems too high the blame should be on charging for someone else’s crime (deterrent sentences) and what is written as acceptable in the book

They literally said the issue was an unintentional bug and then fixed it. How is that damage control?

Are you’re familiar with how singal’s servers work? Even I can think of a system where all messages are collected in a common pool before being distributed, the actual security researchers that made signal surely thought of something better.

How does FISA make it legal for singal to lie to a court about what information they have? Please enlighten me

The server doesn’t need to know or keep track of who’s sending a message to deliver it. If you don’t trust signal to not lie to the court about not collecting such metadata, I can’t convince you otherwise. But there’s a merit in designing your system so that such collection is as hard as possible.

All on dot/doh, all us cloudflare servers. Specific ips of the servers were different. I could reach Lemmy, google, ecosia just fine so I don’t think the servers were blocked.

I haven’t turned off fallback but judging by how I was getting a connection reset instead of the block notice when discord didn’t work I think fallback must be auto disbled with encrypted dns.

I do wonder if local cache had an effect, I didn’t know how to check that though. No proxy that I know of.

I did find the file and the part of the file that was different in Vivaldi and copying that to other browsers did make them work. I should’ve tried that with other social media sites too but I was too sleepy and now the temp blocks are gone. Can’t find information about network persistent state file on the internet, so I’m stumped for now

I don’t think you understand. The old profile connects to youtube. New profile doesn’t connect. There’s no difference between the flags of both. TLS is decades old and doesn’t have a flag to turn on or off. I think you mean dns over tls or dns over https, which is also widely supported at this point, and those are what all my browsers are using (and also don’t have a flag to turn on or off, they’re handled in settings).

As I said, all my browsers are using the same dns server. This isn’t a dns block

No change, vivaldi still connects other browsers still don’t

As this kind of thing happens after every public crisis and it stopped working on different networks at different times (vodafone was fine for a while in the beginning), I think it’s safe to say it’s intentional.

And as I explained, the weird part is that my browser’s fine despite not using a vpn. No slowdown (on youtube at least) at all

I have secure DNS set up on all my devices, this isn’t a DNS level block. I tried looking at the chrome Dev tools connection page and I would try wireshark too but idk what to look for, especially when I’m trying to figure out why it works

Edit: I’m pretty sure with normal DNS you get a page saying it’s blocked for discord

No

Is that really how it works? I thought signal protocol was about just how the encryption worked, not what is encrypted?

Will it not use it even after the ram fills up? I wouldn’t want the compressed part be prioritised anyways

Do you need a swappiness over 1 if you don’t have another swap device?

Except a computer isn’t making decisions here? An investigator is making decisions, the computer is sorting the investigatees. Even if that wasn’t the case it wouldn’t be ambiguous who to blame, it’s clearly on who decided what goes into the algorithm and how it should work

Edit: even beyond who would be legally responsible, as evidenced by this article and others like it people are already holding policy makers and anti welfare instigators responsible. The fall guy being one step removed from the crime doesn’t change who made it happen

“New” means 8845HS here, which is a rehash of 7840HS, a 2 year old cpu.

What’s it with the growing twitter widgets nowadays?

…Google started adding links to archived websites in the Wayback Machine

They better be compensating it…

Thanks for the pointer

Isn’t this already a thing on Wayland?
