Why would an organization use OMEMO if it doesn’t fit their requirements? OMEMO isn’t necessary for encrypting xmpp communications. Also, I get the concern that only the original client will have a full history of the user, but most people don’t need a complete chat history. Or put another way, wanting a complete, unencrypted chat history is relatively orthogonal to wanting perfect forward secrecy.

That is how perfect forward secrecy is supposed to work.

From what I’ve read, repeated plugging/unplugging is not the most likely failure mode. Definitely some issues with cheap sockets though that aren’t realistically capable of carrying the continuous load.

On one hand, it bothers me how inaccessible clear guidance on electric work is. There are so few open resources, and online questions seem to devolve into electricians gatekeeping information to protect the trade. On the other hand, browsing ev charging forums reveals one melted socket after another (not necessarily the result of DIY). The average person can be pretty flippant about the various ways these installations can go up in flames.

Have a migraine and am struggling to parse this. Iraq?

Pretty sure another study found Xylitol might have the same issue. I’m personally avoiding sugar alcohols at this point. That said, it severely limits sweetener options for people that have blood sugar issues.

I watch a sketch comedy group that gets abused by YouTube’s moderation. Some of their stuff leans edgy, but the moderation and demonetization seems pretty arbitrary. There is no viable appeal process or viable alternative platform. Reminds me of how Google controls the Play store and removes open source projects for arbitrary or spurious reasons.

I take less issue with aggressive moderation and more issue with the lack of infrastructure to handle the concept that the first line ai decision might be wrong.

Adding to that - Google’s effective monopolization of “amateur” video distribution, and coincidentally monopolization of app distribution and monetization on the 70% market share mobile platform, makes it more problematic that the company is unanswerable to moderation mistakes.

Don’t most 80+ year old men have some stage of prostate cancer?

I’m not saying that you need to understand every aspect of how something works to use it, but OMEMO provides forward secrecy - it is in the first paragraph of the wikipedia article. Delta Chat explicitly does not. Finding the right tool for your needs/expectations is important. We don’t blame a hammer for failing to cut wood.

Pretty sure that has been a feature for at least 2 years. It seems like a reasonable compromise.

Good to see prose moving along.

It is wild to me that street parking is often free and unrestricted in a place like Manhattan.

The idea of Boston being an escape from cold is wild to me! Can you clarify what not being alone means in this context?

I found ipfire too limiting. Never delved into the pf/opnsense group. Ended up rolling my own.

Food safety recalls. Source/relevance would depend on your country. Not sure that it meets the criteria for “great”, but I found it better than hoping that relevant recalls would make it to a new source I read.

We put so much important information/data through browsers (and smart phones for that matter), and it is becoming hard to trust third party code running on either. Trust in the publisher has become mandatory for me and the only browser plugin I run now is Bitwarden. Neither the app store operators nor the browser publishers seem to have an answer for reliably thwarting malicious actors. I don’t know what the answer is, other than developing literacy in writing browser plugins and adding functionality through my own code.

Unmoderated user generated nsfw forums were (are?) a beacon for dubious to illegal content. I forget the specifics, but didn’t Pornhub have to pivot from accepting a firehose of free user submitted content after failing to moderate sufficiently? User generated nsfw + free just seems like an impossible balance.

I don’t think the option to put some subreddits behind a paywall is necessarily a bad thing. Hopefully the federated link aggregators are in a better place now to absorb another exodus if reddit does scare off a bunch.
