I'll be at #DEFCON though I will be mostly focused on learning, of course I will be wanting to network with people. I'll have limited access to #Mastodon and #Matrix while there. Also don't forget to #PGP sign your emails and load them on a keyserver. My PGP is in my links and fingerprint is on the back of my cards. Come over and say hi if you find me, if I'm awkward it's not you it's me, I'll probably just be processing a lot.
Zum verwundbaren #Ivanti Mobile Device Management im #Digitalministerium: Neben 2 Ministerien waren auch 2 Landespolizeien (Bremen, Hessen) betroffen. CERT Nord, CERT Bund und Hessen3C CyberCompetenceCenter (lol) hatten wir am Samstag informiert. CERTs Nord und Bund haben am Montag kurz vor 9 Uhr geantwortet. Keine Rückmeldung gab es aus Hessen. Alle von uns gemeldeten Systeme sind gepatcht oder nicht mehr erreichbar.
With the latest version of #postmarketOS and #Thunderbird, it's still shoddy, but we can actually set up and read emails. No issues with launching or window sizing!
It's not mobile optimized at all, so I had to minimize the font size and zoom, and to read emails we need to double-tap, so it opens in a new tab.
It's not ideal, but none of the mobile optimized clients support PGP encryption at all afaik, so I'm very pleased with this.
Did someone say encryption? Encryption helps protect the privacy of people you communicate with, and makes life difficult for bulk surveillance systems. Learn more with our Email Self Defense guide: https://u.fsf.org/1df#GPG#PGP#E2E#encryption
:BoostOK: Because DMs are not end-to-end encrypted on Mastodon or on any Fediverse social media platform, your instance admin can read your DMs, and so will any unauthorized individuals if the DMs gets leaked.
If you send a DM to anyone on the Fediverse, make sure it's something you wouldn't mind if it ever gets leaked. If you DO mind, use a privacy-respecting end-to-end encrypted platform like Signal, Session, or Matrix.
Alternatively, you can encrypt your messages using PGP if they list their PGP key in their bio and send them via DMs on the Fediverse. Even better, you can use PGP to send your Signal, Session or Matrix address via DMs.
Scrolled a bit through #ThreadsApp just now. The #meta (haha) posting seems to have died down. At this point I’m maintaining the account as a starter list of normies and Brands™ once the service opens up federation.
@verita84 First impression is that #nostr is speedrunning all of #PGP’s and the #fediverse’s historical problems without having learned much from either

Delta Chat is not as popular as other messengers but with decentralized messaging it's not doing so bad, is it? Or which decentral messengers do you know that
have an as strong Usability driven development model,
Per the announcement from kolektiva that the FBI obtained unencrypted access to all of their database files via a raid:
NO INSTANCE IS SECURE. DO NOT POST ANYTHING INCRIMINATING ON ANY INSTANCE. DO NOT PLAN ILLICIT ACTIVITIES HERE. DO NOT EXPECT THAT WHAT YOU ENGAGE WITH HERE REMAINS INVISIBLE TO PRYING EYES, IT IS NOT. ALL WALLS CAN BE BREACHED.
My standpoint is that, not only should all social software support ActivityPub, it should be required by law.
Further to that, all social software should have an account migration path towards and away from it.
No, I’m not saying all servers should federate with each other. What I am saying is that it should be impossible for any one server software to monopolize the network effect.
I've been interested in #pgp and #privacy and #encryption for years. But if I'm honest, 98 percent of what I've done with it is send test emails back and forth to myself.
Well, #Mozilla did implement #OpenPGP & #PGP/MIME support via their own crypto library, NSS [Network Security Services] and thus you don't need to setup weird stuff like #Gpg4Win on #Windows, but just create or import your keys into #Thunderbird and it just works!
That reduced a lot of the complexity when setting up and explaining stuff, and I think @cryptoparty will agree...
Schon krass wie immer noch sehr populär #Email angewendet wird, ohne #Verschlüsselung oder #marking vom Account etc. – Email hauptsache #HTML aber der #Absender könnte sonst wer sein und das im internen #Business 📧
Ne ist nicht neu und seit ewig so aber trotzdem stumpf nervend und für vierle User nicht nachvolziehbar. Ich hatte jemanden @keyoxide gezeigt und sie war total verwirrt und wollte "was Einfaches" und hatte dabei #PGP noch in kein einzigem Wort erwähnt..... 🤷♂️
Some people don't see the value of using a password manager and keep sharing their streaming service passwords with their friends and relatives in plain text.
This is an attempt to simplify the process of sending encrypted passwords for non-technical users, using local encryption with temporary #PGP keys.
Chatkontrolle: Spanien plädiert für EU-Verbot von Ende-zu-Ende-Verschlüsselung
Die EU-Staaten diskutieren über die Pläne zur sogenannten Chatkontrolle. Ein geleaktes Dokument macht jetzt deutlich, wie extrem die Positionen teilweise sind.
@heiseonline
Wenn das kommt, dann betreibe ich mit meiner @nextcloud Instanz einen illegalen Dienst (auch wenn ich dort nur mit meiner Freundin nutze). Ach ja, meine Emails sind #PGP verschlüsselt (wenn möglich). Das wäre ja dann auch illegal.
