Yep. It works and it’s awesome. I use conversations on android devices and dino and gajim on desktops, various family members use siskin on iOS.
With zero app or server-software or provider lock-in, and an actual in-practice diversity of apps and providers, the whole thing seems pretty immune to enshittification.
[alt-text for the vision-impaired] Image appears to be a twitter post from Craig Murray posted on 2023-10-14: “To be entirely plain. I have always viscerally opposed war. I have dedicated my life to conflict resolution and reconciliation. But in the coming Gaza genocide, every act of armed resistance by Hamas and Hezbollah will have my support. If that is a crime, send me back to jail.”
Hmm. Could be seen as a rather outlandish thing to say in the immediate aftermath of 2023-10-07, but in hindsight with what we know now in terms of what atrocities the Israeli military forces have brought upon the people of Gaza since that attack on Israel, it seems a reasonable statement to support armed resistance against the coming episode of genocide which indeed materialised and continues today.
Just like colesworth suppliers, plant nurseries and other suppliers suffer the same way as highlighted in recent news and inquiries into the supermarket sector.
EM Eye investigates a cybersecurity attack where the attackers eavesdrop on the confidential video data of cameras by parsing the unintentional electromagnetic leakage signals from camera circuits. This happens on the physical/analog layer of camera systems and thus allows attackers to steal victim’s camera data even when...
(3) Directional Antenna: A common outdoor Log-periodic directional antenna (LPDA), ~$15.
(4) A laptop, of course.
Note that the equipment can be replaced with cheaper counterparts. For example, USRP B210 can be replaced with RTL-SDR that costs ~$30.
To reproduce the attack: our GitHub repository provides the codes and instructions for reproducing and understanding the attack. We have prepared a ready-to-use software tool that can produce real-time reconstructions of the eavesdropped videos with EM signal input from the USRP device.
Well within the budget of a private investigator or burglar or peeping-tom or abusive ex-partner.
No need to scale; plenty of privacy/security incursions don’t require mass-surveillance.
That said, I’d suggest that the attack does scale economically . Think war-driving but with one of these setups – cruising around in a van through a dense neighbourhood collecting short clips of cctv footage looking for something of interest.
Yeah, I made a small batch one year with excess comb/pollen/etc I had left over from a hive, and even after a few months it was, …interesting, but a tasted bad/wrong. I was moving house and discarded (!) the last couple of bottles.
5 years later I was visiting a friend and they’d found a bottle of it that I’d given to them, and it was just awsome… f’ing strong, but so smooth, and woah what depth of flavour.

…and I’d trust it (battery-wise) with that. I have an old tablet with conversations running without battery restrictions on it, and if I’m not actually picking it up and using it it regularly goes 1-2 weeks on an 80% battery charge before it dies, the whole time giving audible notifications for XMPP messages/calls (which I attend to on other devices).
To be clear though: by E2EE here I mean browser-side encryption with zero-knowledge on the server side.
Etherpad is still encrypted in transit with https; only the server can snoop.
Cryptpad and other web-based E2EE services can still be completely compromised server-side by serving malicious code to the browser, and practically the user would never know.
…and the health effects of lowered physical activity, social isolation, stress of long commutes in traffic, inaccessibility of vital health and social services, …and don’t forget all the externalities to supply that 2 tons of vehicle, and fuel, and roads, etc.
Yes, Australia’s big supermarkets have been price gouging. But fixing the problem won’t be easy (theconversation.com)
