Find the politicians by name who voted yes for this, and display them in public.

Let the capable open source community then take over going through their phones, since they must be OK with their phones being scanned, right?

MigratingtoLemmy ,

All the more reason to find the friendly neighbourhood blackhat gang

MigratingtoLemmy ,

*wink wink

MigratingtoLemmy ,

We got lucky this time. Won't be the case next time.

Also, even if it's entire governments voting, there must be a way to find politicians who are pro and against this, yes? Pretty sure governments had an internal vote and they came up with their decision based on said vote

MigratingtoLemmy ,

No it will be. Having your own XMPP/IRC server doesn't prevent the NSA from spying on your metadata, and that's exactly what will happen. It's just that TOR and I2P will likely see an increase in traffic

MigratingtoLemmy ,

Just use Briar lol

MigratingtoLemmy ,

Oh, I didn't know Freenet had a successor. Did something happen to it?

MigratingtoLemmy ,

Let's see them deal with PGP-encrypted email lol

MigratingtoLemmy ,

You're right about that, I commented without thinking. Thanks

MigratingtoLemmy ,

Is there an automated bot to archive channels from YouTube and upload them to Peertube?

MigratingtoLemmy ,

I'd run this on a VPS if I could do it over the TOR network (don't want to get caught with my CC on the line), but there's the problem of needless duplication if this happens, so it's likely the best if relevant authors do it themselves

MigratingtoLemmy ,

Very expensive

MigratingtoLemmy ,

Read my comment on doing it over TOR. If you have a trusty VPS, encrypt your LVM with LUKS and use that for scratch storage.

MigratingtoLemmy ,

I'd prefer XMR

MigratingtoLemmy ,

Had never heard of it, thanks. I prefer DEXes for crypto (XMR only now)

MigratingtoLemmy ,

Wait till they make TOR illegal and force people to mask TOR traffic to look like HTTPS. Then produce a stream of rubbish alongside said HTTPS traffic so as to fool authorities. Lol at them thinking non-profit tech gurus are going to give them cake

MigratingtoLemmy ,

What I'm trying to say is said gurus will build something that the masses can use (to the extent of the masses that know what Threema and Briar are).

MigratingtoLemmy ,

Yes, and this will affect everyone. Which is why I'm hopeful that organisations like the EFF, the TOR browser's foundation, Graphene OS and the general Android community comes up with something that will prevent this. I hope this will push for greater efforts in obfuscation of traffic from TOR, I2P, Freenet, Wireguard and the like along with better education amongst the general population.

You could call me naive though, I suppose. Perhaps I expect too much

MigratingtoLemmy ,

Oh, so TOR, Graphene OS and Signal will be banned then? We're going towards a dystopia where the police control which apps you can and can't install?

Yeah I see your point

MigratingtoLemmy ,

I thought they wanted applications to scan and send data to them, but perhaps the Android OS itself isn't too far of a reach

MigratingtoLemmy ,

I know we are heading in that direction but I didn't expect this to happen so soon. I thought it would be beyond my lifetime

MigratingtoLemmy ,

Use S3 and pay up, don't worry you're almost never running out of storage

MigratingtoLemmy ,

Unfortunately a lot of good homelab, Networking, security and other niche knowledge is still on reddit.

Technically one could just archive the relevant subs from reddit using an automated crawler and never have to visit the actual website again, both not everybody is self-hosting to that extent. This is for people who haven't self-hosted yet

MigratingtoLemmy ,

My point being, what are they going to achieve with this? Ask WhatsApp to pass over their encryption keys?

It should be pretty obvious that you shouldn't be sharing sensitive stuff on chat apps controlled by the NSA. Use element with encryption or something, maybe Briar etc. What are they going to do if you insist on using apps which use asymmetric client-side encryption, break TOR? Force you to use symmetric encryption and give the government your decryption keys?

I don't see how they are going to spy on sensitive details of Europeans with this. They might as well ban phones completely if they want to limit communication.

MigratingtoLemmy ,

Well I get that they are stupid, but unless it's their fetish to catch 14 year olds trying to spread rubbish propaganda, I doubt they're going to get much. Any reporter, activist and consumer knows that anything they put on these apps goes straight to the NSA's and MI6's AI algorithms at the very least, and now they're going to go to the rest of Europe.

Yes, we should be protesting against this. Does Europe have an equivalents of the EFF to fight for such rights?

MigratingtoLemmy ,

I'm wondering, what are EU politicians doing dirty jobs using?

MigratingtoLemmy ,

Yeah let's have them block github. I kind of want to see a federated git hosting platform integrated with the fediverse

MigratingtoLemmy ,

Fairly sure my good Eastern Europeans don't give a fuck about what France and Germany think and will pirate and TOR and I2P their merry life away (or so I'd like to think - you tell me)

MigratingtoLemmy ,

Prism has broken AES-256???

It is more likely that Prism can use android exploits to read data before it is encrypted by the client

MigratingtoLemmy ,

Debian. Always have, always will

Building a from-scratch IP-KVM/Pikvm board. Tips?

I have a spare SBC (Pine A64 LTS) that I currently have no other use for, and recently I got the idea of turning it into an IP-KVM. However, the software support for this board is a little middling, and the board's been somewhat overlooked by the community. That leaves me with no ready-made solutions for turning this board into...

MigratingtoLemmy ,

It's a coincidence, I was thinking about a PiKVM myself, although with much more modest hardware (a Raxda/Banana Pi Zero at best - I wonder if these can actually hold up). I'm not very familiar with PiKVM setup; do I need to compile the repository from source on whatever I run on these machines? Is there a minimum requirement for specs?

MigratingtoLemmy ,

Time to pay for cracks

MigratingtoLemmy ,

Proton and Mullvad leading the way

MigratingtoLemmy OP ,

Yes

MigratingtoLemmy OP ,

Planning to do that yes

MigratingtoLemmy OP ,

Wow that's expensive. But thanks something to keep in mind. I'm planning to build my own $25 KVM with Chinese parts off of Aliexpress and PiKVM (if that's possible)

MigratingtoLemmy OP ,

I don't think it's enabled, but I guess I can't check

MigratingtoLemmy OP ,

True, it's just that I'd like to avoid purchasing more useless stuff. I might move in a few months and maybe carry these computers but I definitely won't be able to take my monitor. Just going to be a waste of money, and I'm trying to be frugal.

I am planning to build a small cheap DIY KVM using PiKVM and cheap Aliexpress parts (Raxda's Zero 3W or the Banana Pi Zero, not sure if they are supported though) in about $25 which I can probably carry around

MigratingtoLemmy OP ,

No thrift stores nearby though

MigratingtoLemmy OP ,

I did look at Preseed and it's probably a good idea if I'm doing many installs at once. I will still look at it but I'll likely have to purchase a monitor anyway. It is unfortunate because I don't have any thrift stores nearby

MigratingtoLemmy OP ,

Yes that's an option I'm looking at. Thanks

MigratingtoLemmy OP ,

I guess so. It's just going to be junk that I can't take with me when I move though

MigratingtoLemmy OP ,

Thank you, having a serial port would be amazing but unfortunately, unlike UART on microcontrollers I'm using x86. Sometimes I think I should just have stuck to a laptop as a server with some SSDs in it and the other machines being ARM/RISC-V. Definitely would have been more fun

MigratingtoLemmy OP ,

I'm planning to use a Raxda Zero 3W/Banana Pi Zero for this. Do you think this will suffice? I don't need speed or power, it just needs to be usable.

MigratingtoLemmy OP ,

Arch linux install wouldn't be a problem really because the way the install is done. Pretty sure I could it all over SSH. Unfortunately, Debian isn't exactly that..

MigratingtoLemmy OP ,

Exactly. It's junk after that

MigratingtoLemmy OP ,

I'll have to try that. Thanks!

MigratingtoLemmy OP ,

Thank you!
