Gulf of Mexico, for the small price of moving to Mexico.

I love OSMAnd for openstreetmap. Great for offline maps, and able to download whole countries in advance. There’s lighter weight apps now, I think; OSMAnd has lots of features, many which I don’t need, but I still love it after picking it up when it was maybe the only one.

Doesn’t do traffic (I don’t think?) and it’s routing used to be lacklustre. Search function still seems rubbish to me, but maybe I’m using it wrong. (If I’m searching for a place rather than looking on the map I’ll often use Google maps to get a lat/lon or plus code, then put that into OSM!)

I know, but I liked the idea of sending messages by interpreting meaning in a series of cat memes :-)

By the way, do you know if steganography in an image is truly undetectable? Or if an attacker could, by statistical analysis or pattern analysis, determine that steganography has been used?

“Jones, take a look at these cat photos.”

“Oh, they’re lovely, sir!”

“No, Jones, look at them. What do they mean?”

“Well, sir, this one is hungry, so it’s asking for food, but in its native American style. This one is looking at the camera funny, probably because it’s been startled by something off camera. This one is looking smug, and the angry people there have been added by the artist, they’re not from the same photo. This one–”

“Sit down, Jones. Look at their meaning. The terrorist attack will be at 2pm on the 23rd at South Kensington station, used as a distraction for the simultaneous heist in the Natural History Museum!”

Whitespace steganography in markdown ;-)

Wow, thank you for this! But it looks like IMAP and POP, not server-to-server. And how would one of these severs compromise security if not one of the end points?

Smaller attack surface and fewer leaks. If you specifically are targeted, the government will look for a warrant for the data in your account, rather than the one you sent to. Gmail also I think there’s a concern that text will leak via AI - I remember hearing this concern even when it was just that associations in search terms might build from private email content.

I don’t think gayhitler is entirely correct about reading all the plaintext emails. If I understand right, major (most?) email providers use TLS (encryption) between each other and and to your laptop. The difference is the email is available on their servers somewhere, if someone were to get access.

And yet the other day I read an account of researching tracking for ads, and the iPhone used sent a request to Facebook even before anything was installed

A bit of a different thing, but still.

I’m thinking CalyxOS for my next phone.

Thanks for the well-meaning advice.

The recovery password in iCloud to stop even Apple accessing it is exactly what the UK is trying to undermine. It protects you - for now.

I tried to start using pgp for email years ago, the problem is of course adoption by everyone you’re communicating with, be that personal, corporate or official. I got one friend to make a gpg key! And most email servers, as I understand, pass to each other with TLS, and the connection from your computer to your email service is encrypted. The problem is the emails at rest on both ends, including hosted by the email provider. Moving my email off Fastmail, whether to something like Protonmail or stored only on my computer, would remove one particular attack surface.

I couldn’t remember if UK gov have been trying to get access into iCloud e2e before; I’m sure they’ve been getting to mandate access to other encryption previously.

Opening it up lets you use it from devices that aren’t on tailscale, or for friends and family. I have the same idea with Nebula instead of Tailscale, if I can figure it out.

Has Taler moved beyond proof of concept yet?

It’s an amazing concept btw. I read through their paper presented to the European banking system, it was interesting.

After a suspicious-looking guide I nearly started with, and the NoxOS split drama, and having homemanager bork my login in a test setup, I wonder if next time I’ll try GUIX.

I mean, the word ‘which’ doesn’t matter, according to the English professor.

Sure, if you’re taking the joke seriously about money, looks and [removed], I agree they all matter to some extent.

“Which doesn’t matter.”

– English professor.

I think that’s the opposite.

Rich people will say, money doesn’t matter. But they haven’t experienced actually not having it. It’s ironic.

Attractive people say, looks don’t matter, but they’ve always had good looks. It’s ironic.

The joke plays on the way deleted comments on Reddit show up as removed by deleted user, sounding similar to the earlier ironies: Deleted says deleted. Since that last is effectively meaningless, and entirely different underneath from the reaction-to-judgement underlying the first two, it’s also humour from the non-sequitur.

So it turns a frustration with rich and attractive people telling us not to worry about money and looks, into a surreal joke comparing the pattern to deleted Reddit comments.
