Let’s start mirroring and torrenting full ROMsets!

yeah you need to know the password or secret handshake (like a protocol handshake) to be let in! :)

“porte” in French means a door.

Imagine each port is a door, all neatly aligned… some of them can be opened and lead to something… (a service)

thank you for your thank you! <3

https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/ is a good place to start.

Fine. Then Signal for the English-native-speaking dudes who think herpes is funny bro, lol…

Simplex for the rest of us, who truly value our privacy, aonymity, and not having to trust Amazon for the safety of our meta-data, lol dude

What an uneducated red herring! Simplex is not named “Herpes”… in “Herpes simplex”, “Simplex” is an adjective…

“Dude! why would you name a messaging app after a latin adjective dude!”…

Now can we resume talking about messaging protocols, and why Simplex is one of the most promising, way much better than Signal when it comes to privacy, as it enables communications without disclosing identity?

I already have everything. I use Sway… :)

Your hemorrhoids are flaring up again eh?

i got a cheap gamer’s keyboard that happened to have blue switches, the cheapest i actually found with Cherry MX Blue (so, some mechanical keyboard nerds will say this is sh*t and they’ll probably be right). It’s an “HyperX Alloy”. it has these annoyingly red LED, but i don’t really care. I recommend it for the price though (I paid around 90 buck back then)

In last 5 years for me:

• a pair of decent (second hand) speakers
• a cheap (blue switches ftw) mechanical keyboard
• a standing desk
• an ergonomic chair

(sorry it’s not single item…)

I beg to disagree: the global interception capacities of the NSA in 2012 (as showed in the very few 2013 documents from Ed. Snowden that were made public) clearly were enough to routinely de-anonymize tor. By owning a certain percentage of the global internet traffic, you de facto own tor (can very precisely correlate what comes in and what goes out, and do that retrospectively when needed).

and that was 10+ years aog…

Association with spooks is a red flag, for the multiple, endless ways they have been doing their shitfuckery, endangering the general public, the exceptional US citizens, and information/communication security at large… by weakening standards, by corrupting corporations to introduce (or leave open) some bugs, by infiltrating development teams, by pressuring operators to grant full access, by breaking and entering, etc…

Anyone who doesnt see that as a problem has to be considered as part of it. Simple, basic rule.

what does it have to do with Google’s business model being mass-surveillance, and/or them being caught several times collaborating with the NSA, the US army, etc.?

I agree that the NSA backdooring stuff is a problem too… (or even a different facet of the same problem…) Yet, one doesn’t invalidate the other…

I think it should always add:

"I am sorry*, Dave,* but i cannot … "
