πŸŒ„ Echos of Alberta '17 πŸŒ„

Exodus Day ~6, January 2017
Eastern Outskirts of the Continental Divide Glacier National Park, Montana USA

The first rays of dawn pierce the atmospheric veil, coriolis shifting into -30C windchill, illuminating a new path etched in the finality of sol's thermal rays.

Tears freezing never felt so beautiful πŸ’–

@[email protected] for sure, and that is a present concern for RCS protocol, which is sorta lenient from the carrier perspective. it comes as only a minor surprise that they (cell phone / teleco) wouldn't want to get into the encrypted traffic side of the engineering -- otherwise:

  1. they would likely argue for a backdoor
  2. they would likely wedge deep packet inspection provisions
  3. they never want to do anything for free
  4. they would bicker amongst themselves and turn it into vaporware

telco cannot be trusted for end-user security, so the implementation of RCS (as you mentioned) really matters quite a lot. My primary annoyance with iOS in this regard is that they've refused to implement AES or TLS or anything else on top of their RCS stack, but at least in this scenario it's usable from a browser regardless.

@[email protected] No, that's not correct. It seems you have gotten some misinformation. See the following for a recent implementation:

@mmatute_us @shac

Webapps generally rely on TLS for data in transit, but full E2EE requires data at rest encryption as well

Since whatsapp is not a part of the hardware storage at the block level it has no control over anything other than the data it presents to the OS -- which may or may not be encrypted separately.

I don't use whatsapp so I've not looked into that side of its implementation, but here's the NCC audit if that seems appealing to review: https://www.nccgroup.com/media/phzpm0qv/_ncc_group_metaplatforms_e008327_report_2023-11-14_v10.pdf

πŸš’ iPhone vs Android πŸš’

Round 394!

ok but in all seriousness, let's say I want to send some SMS/RCS using my cell, but I want to do that from the computer... should be feasible?

iPhone's iMessage: "we love our walled garden so much that NO ONE can send messages using a web interface, despite iMessage being an iCloud enabled app and the ecosystem having iCloud apps available online to any non-Mac -- but we decided that iMessage alone should never be usable on the iCloud web interface (because reasons?)"

Android via Messages App: "sure thing fellow Happy Camper! here you go! https://messages.google.com and it's just as secure as using the device itself."

Best part... Android's method WORKS ON FREEBSD!

Until very recently I never knew that my genetic grandmother had moved to Chicago, fell in love, and started a family. Prior to all of that she was certainly not in Chicago but somewhere entirely different, in a hospital, where she had to give my mother up for adoption.

Some decades later the story will unfold as her granddaughter moves to the same city, with a similar set of eyes, looking towards a new direction and renewed set of goals.

@[email protected] @[email protected] that's a great page. reminds me of a purposeful design choice from the Gemini protocol project; it's all text for similar reasons.

🀍 Appeal to the Browser Goddesses 🀍

Can we please make it a thing where 32GB of RAM isn't an insufficient amount for day to day web browser usage? Getting an OOM core dump for that reason is inexcusable.

  • Should the Zoom browser app really need 2GB on a single tab when it's already downscaling a 1080p feed to 320p on an enterprise account?
  • Should Amazon's website really need 1GB per tab just to view the cart or a ~800Mb for a single simple product page?
  • Please remind me how an MKdocs fully static page with a single 400k image and no datatables or fancy JS somehow require 242Mb?
  • Or perhaps shed some light on the requirement where Google's main page with a single search form somehow needs ~500Mb

There are no "good reasons" for these inefficiencies. We don't suddenly have better search fields or compressed jpegs now vs a decade ago with 1/10th of the system resources.

@X_[email protected] indeed, which is why I run those from an isolated jail. it's a slight amount of cli commands but otherwise nicely secured.

@[email protected] Brave is awesome overall, and at present their sync chain method has been nearly impervious to split-brain conflicts across multiple devices.

Otter browser is ultra minimalist approach, has almost no chrome or aesthetics to alter, which is a benefit and detriment depending on use case. I like using it for single window admin apps (iKVM, iDRAC, PiKVM, etc) due to the lower resource load.

ICANN approves use of .internal domain for your network in c/[email protected]

@JackbyDev Why would that be a question at all? Buy a domain name and take care of your dns records.

that's an odd way to say that you don't own any domains. that's step one, but does it even need to be said?
