@rysiek That's my point. TCP is trivial to MitM, so if you ignore OTR's warnings about keys, OTR is also trivial to MitM.
redacted May 12, 2016
@rysiek Also I meant "more secure against MitM".
redacted May 12, 2016
redacted May 11, 2016
@rysiek It's not; contact verification is by key. This is a classic MitM.
redacted May 11, 2016
@rysiek Unfortunately all security requires some degree of user training, because it can always be bypassed thru social engineering.
redacted May 11, 2016
@rysiek Though at least in Tox's case because the user's ID is based on their public key it requires social engineering.
redacted May 11, 2016
@rysiek If the user does nothing when the other user's key changes, none of those apps is more secure than raw TCP.

@hello_syria 404.
redacted May 11, 2016
@rysiek There aren't many (any?) crypto apps that aren't susceptible to that attack.
redacted May 10, 2016
@rysiek The app does exactly what it's supposed to. Could be UI problem if the user doesn't realize implications of key changing.

@ternarygreen Also what does "NSA proof" even mean when you have to run a closed source baseband? At least Google could have baseband code.
redacted May 05, 2016
@ternarygreen The problem is you need a lot of technical & legal resources to make a product that's even close to NSA-proof.

@torrentfreak_com Not allowing paid & pirated content next to one another means people who pirate at all will pirate 100% of their media.

@vegos @inhabitat Labeling went on the ballot in liberal California and was defeated. So no, they don't.

@vegos @inhabitat Because GMO/non-GMO is a meaningless distinction, but people will make decisions out of fear.

@ternarygreen Won't make any difference. The government couldn't hope for a better propaganda machine than the MSM.
redacted May 03, 2016
@vegos @inhabitat There are no properties shared among all GMOs that would make a generic "GMO" label make sense.
redacted May 03, 2016
@vegos @inhabitat No, there are stupid people on both sides. I was just addressing your claim that it's "easier to be unconvinced."
redacted May 03, 2016
@vegos @inhabitat Plenty of people fear GMOs who can't actually understand the arguments on either side, so it's obviously not easier.
redacted May 03, 2016
@vegos @inhabitat I am familiar with criticisms of GMOs, but unconvinced.
redacted May 03, 2016
@inhabitat @vegos I want to teach my kids how to make their own GMOs.

@jboss @ternarygreen Too slow to load embedded images in a page, at least for me.

@vegos Know any dark web URL for the repository in case she gets taken down? These should be in ZeroNet, Freenet, etc.

@torrentfreak_com IOW "give up your rights or get named & shamed". Someone needs to leak the list to eliminate that incentive.
redacted Apr 29, 2016
@shar "Web" doesn't just mean http + browser anymore. It's the part of the Internet that's not the wires.
redacted Apr 29, 2016
@shar Not needed except to avoid having a 1996 user experience. Better to focus on fixing browser fingerprinting/leakage problem IMO.

@nullifer Whatever we do it needs to work with Tor, though. So using the existing Twister torrent system is just fine.

@nullifer Messages don't go via blockchain. They go via torrent & DHT. Would love a way to distribute big files through Twister's torrents.

Dear FBI, NSA, GCHQ, MI5: Infiltration works both ways. Decentralization, not so much.
