Session? 18:58:54 https://www.dslreports.com/forum/r33868135-Firefox-Firefox-125-0-1Released mentions it being pulled, but not why 18:59:02 I know Signal is good, but it's not anonymous 19:03:02 https://www.techspot.com/downloads/19-mozilla-firefox.html seems to serve a file called 125.0 at least, but unsure if it's actually that 19:03:06 icedice: push notifications can be end to end encrypted too 19:03:46 icedice: I don't have a certain read on simplex but I would tend towards "people who just overestimate their cluefulness regarding security" 19:04:05 WhatsApp on iOS used to do an ugly hack where they sent a "silent" push notification with no message content, which woke up the app, the app downloaded the actual message from WhatsApp, decrypted it, and popped a local notification 19:04:10 what is moxie up to nowadays? 19:04:18 I would not treat any messenger as anonymous unless routed through something like tor 19:04:42 (or unless it internally has a similar design that functions in the same manner, that works too) 19:05:01 Session is routed through Lokinet which is essentially their own darknet 19:05:04 since iOS 10 there is https://developer.apple.com/documentation/usernotifications/modifying-content-in-newly-delivered-notifications 19:05:25 ultimately routing information needs to be present to get messages from A to B and that is observable unless you take measures to statistically obscure it like tor does 19:06:23 as for lokinet, has this seen serious review by qualified folks yet? 19:06:36 oh lol, blockchains 19:06:42 that would be an immediate distrust from me 19:06:44 fireonlive: I'd go ask them about it, but they shut down their IRC. :-( 19:08:03 like, I honestly don't even bother reviewing anything blockchain anymore. that entire industry runs on smoke and mirrors 19:08:04 :( 19:12:02 i forgot i have a chat.mozilla.org account, i'll ask in their developers chat 19:12:59 as for lokinet, has this seen serious review by qualified folks yet? 19:13:02 No: https://github.com/oxen-io/lokinet/discussions/1825 19:13:18 Yeah, I don't like the blockchain bs either 19:13:42 But there's not that many metadata resistant messengers out there 19:14:08 JAA: "There was a major late breaking issue with 125.0 which made it unshippable. Due to downstream caching/CDNs, we cannot safely overwrite the files. Instead, we pulled 125.0 from that directory, and shipped a 125.0.1 with the fix instead." 19:14:09 > Lokinet always has supported stakeless relays, there has never been enough interest to bootstrap an opennet despite this. I consider the gripes about the lack of an opennet existing despite it being fully supported to be anecdotal evidence of altruistic models being inferior. 19:14:10 lmfao 19:14:27 yeah this goes onto my shitlist instantly 19:14:51 that one statement is basically an immediate signal to me that these people are not trustworthy 19:15:02 fireonlive: Huh, thanks. It'd be good if that were, you know, mentioned somewhere... 19:15:10 indeed 19:15:22 The release notes of 125.0 would be a good place. 19:16:49 the reasoning for that: there are plenty of altruistically-operated networks that work just fine, and it is absurd to cherrypick the lack of a lokinet-flavoured one as "evidence" especially considering that that basically boils down to "we built an entire system according to capitalist principles and left a tiny amount of space for altruistic use, but nobody has wanted to do altruistic things for our capitalistic framework and therefore 19:16:49 altruism doesn't work" 19:17:04 it won't go back in that directory but; "We keep all potential release builds in https://archive.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/candidates/ for future purposes, and this one will stay there as well :)." 19:17:50 and if someone considers that any kind of sound reasoning I do not trust them to understand social or economic behaviour well enough to be trusted with other people's safety 19:18:01 i mentioned i went looking for the release notes as well but didn't find it there 19:18:05 There's Cwtch, but that one isn't audited 19:18:50 honestly. my recommendation from what I have seen would boil down to "use some standard low-trust messenger over Tor" 19:19:00 they tried to do an altruistic network *in a blockchain community* and it failed? 19:19:05 And Cwtch only uses Tor 19:19:17 nicolas17: judging from that comment, yes, that is exactly what they did 19:19:19 Ah, didn't realise that re candidates; I guess the last candidate should usually be equal to the release then, which does make sense. 19:19:28 By the way, every time I checked, Lokinet nodes used the same hosting provider, MVPS 19:19:30 or rather; what they expected others to do 19:19:37 people willing to run stuff like tor nodes for altruistic purposes wouldn't get close to those kind of people 19:19:47 exactly 19:20:08 =] 19:20:28 and like, I would understand if this led them to conclude "altruism isn't happening within lokinet", that would be a reasonable conclusion 19:20:39 but "evidence that altruistic models are inferior"? come the fuck on, lol 19:21:13 Indeed, https://archive.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/125.0.1/SHA256SUMS and https://archive.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/candidates/125.0.1-candidates/build1/SHA256SUMS are identical. :-) 19:23:08 :D sweet 19:23:20 lol this tour: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iPrPXjn0Ybs 19:32:55 > Lokinet always has supported stakeless relays, there has never been enough interest to bootstrap an opennet despite this. I consider the gripes about the lack of an opennet existing despite it being fully supported to be anecdotal evidence of altruistic models being inferior. 19:32:59 That's a major yikes 19:33:36 o.o 19:35:52 joepie91|m: What is your impression of Cwtch? https://cwtch.im/ 19:36:11 It's the last metadata resistant messaging app 19:36:36 (The other two ones being SimpleX Chat and Session) 19:42:15 icedice: I have not reviewed its implementation but I *have* followed its development from a distance, and have seen no reason to be concerned in terms of trustworthiness of the developers or development process; they generally seem to have a solid grasp of what is needed. whether the implementation is sound is something I cannot meaningfully comment on 19:42:30 basically, it passes the sniff test 19:42:41 (unlike most things :p) 19:43:09 if I had to pick something metadata-resistant today, I would probably tend towards cwtch 19:44:29 maybe briar? 19:45:03 (which similarly I have not reviewed the implementation of, but I've seen nothing to inspire concern) 19:51:28 maybe briar? 19:52:14 Briar is the best end-to-end encrypted peer-to-peer messenger, but peer-to-peer messengers are worse when it comes to metadata privacy 19:52:25 I don't remember the specifics, but that's the gist of it 19:52:35 that is not necessarily true, it depends on the design 19:52:48 Then there's the issue that it's Android only 19:52:58 There's Tox, but that development is a bit of a shitshow 19:53:16 you may be thinking of the issue of P2P things on the clearnet where senders are directly identifiable by IP to all recipients, because there's no server inbetween? 19:53:28 And Jami which is P2P unless P2P isn't possible in which case it uses a centralized server, which makes the whole thing pointless 19:53:32 as that is not applicable for anything onion-routed 19:53:42 you may be thinking of the issue of P2P things on the clearnet where senders are directly identifiable by IP to all recipients, because there's no server inbetween? 19:53:52 I don't remember exactly tbh 19:53:58 I think it was deeper than that 19:54:19 I'll try and summon my last two brain cells and see if I can remember something more specific 19:54:43 if you can find the original argument I would be interested to hear more about it - because it sounds like a dubious claim to me but I also do not want to wholly rule it out without actually understanding the claim properly first :) 19:55:01 in case it is something I am not aware of 20:03:05 What Is Your Threat Model 20:07:44 joepie91|m: Found it: 20:07:45 https://simplex.chat/#comparison-with-p2p-protocols 20:07:53 https://github.com/simplex-chat/simplex-chat/blob/stable/docs/SIMPLEX.md#comparison-with-p2p-messaging-protocols 20:08:03 (Same document) 20:08:27 What Is Your Threat Model 20:08:35 I want to avoid dragnet surveillance 20:09:10 I don't expect any targeted surveillance 20:09:19 what sensitive information do you want to protect from that surveillance? 20:09:26 clearly not "everything" or you wouldn't be on IRC 20:10:43 Some communications and my web surfing 20:11:05 There's different degrees to that though 20:11:37 Most of the surfing is just "don't let my ISP stockpile it" 20:11:56 So Mullvad + LibreWolf / Cromite is fine for most of it 20:12:41 And it also keeps the MAFIAA away while sailing the high seas 20:15:06 Being untrackable on the Internet is a pipe dream anyway with Pure Signal Recon / Augury being available to anyone willing to pay for it though 20:20:34 https://www.vice.com/en/article/jg84yy/data-brokers-netflow-data-team-cymru 20:20:36 https://www.vice.com/en/article/y3pnkw/us-military-bought-mass-monitoring-augury-team-cymru-browsing-email-data 20:20:43 https://www.vice.com/en/article/dy3z9a/fbi-bought-netflow-data-team-cymru-contract 20:20:52 And the NSA have their own thing going, of course 20:22:22 icedice: those 'arguments' are questionable at best 20:22:28 (the ones from simplex, against p2p services) 20:22:46 they make a lot of assumptions and this is very clearly written to make simplex look better, not to provide a genuine insight 20:24:48 Yeah 20:25:01 Makes sense 20:26:14 (one of the unspoken assumptions, for instance, is a 'globally routed' network where everyone is connected to everyone; several of the points do not apply when doing 1:1 messaging with trusted other parties for example) 20:26:36 likewise various points would not apply to friendnets 20:26:40 some assume clearnet 20:26:40 etc 20:26:57 joepie91|m: There was one other encrypted messaging thing that I wanted to get your take on 20:27:17 and then there's the vague "no identifiers", which is a dubious claim to begin with (how does it get routed then?) and then makes a handwavy claim about how it is better for privacy in some conveniently unspecified way 20:27:19 and so on, and so forth 20:27:41 this is consistent with what I've seen from simplex before; they never quite finish their claims, they always leave parts implicit 20:28:04 (and that is a hallmark of snakeoil security) 20:28:21 A XMPP server operator wrote on the now defunct PrivacyTools Forum years ago that you could make the end-to-end encryption worthless by putting the XMPP server in debugging mode and to only use XMPP server you run yourself because of that 20:28:38 ^ My memory of this is pretty foggy, but something along those lines 20:28:54 genuine technical analysis declares its assumptions explicitly and brings the analysis to a robust conclusion, leaving nothing implied that could be misconstrued 20:28:54 I could never find the thread again via Wayback Machine 20:29:11 I did remember who posted it though, so I guess I could try and contact her and ask 20:29:33 icedice: that sounds dubious to me, especially given that there is no "the end-to-end encryption" (there are several) and at least one of the options is implemented entirely external to the protocol itself (OTR) 20:30:16 if E2EE could be circumvented by "putting a server in debugging mode" then it was never genuine E2EE to begin with, because that is specifically meant to protect from malicious servers 20:30:19 Yeah, my thoughts as well 20:30:43 Maybe she was talking about IP logging and I'm somehow misremembering everything 20:30:52 so categorically, this claim is false; under some specific circumstances it may be true but then I'd want to see those circumstances defined in a verifiable manner :) 20:30:57 But then again, I would assume IP logging is possible without any debug mode 20:31:03 yes 20:31:34 like, XMPP is an open protocol. "an XMPP server in debugging mode" is functionally indistinguishable from "an entirely custom XMPP server? 20:31:38 "* 20:32:05 so the mention of 'debugging mode' specifically, as if it is a hidden secret in one specific piece of software, makes me instantly skeptical 20:32:33 someone doesn't understand what "end to end" means 20:35:25 Again, this is all from my hazy memory of a forum thread I read years ago and can't find again 20:35:44 So I would not be surprise if what I've said is not a fair recollection of her arguments 20:35:50 But it is the best I can do 20:36:03 Just be aware that I'm an unreliable narrator in this case 20:36:13 yeah understandable - I'm being rather absolutist here despite that just because I want to make sure that there are no misunderstandings :p 20:36:26 there is so incredibly much bad information floating around on this subject 20:36:48 so I don't intend to be judgmental, rather just to be unambiguous 20:36:52 Yeah, I just wanted to point it out so that she doesn't get roasted because of my shitty memory 20:37:00 yeah fair :) 20:38:11 By the way, what's your take on Matrix, Rocket.Chat, Revolt, and Fosscord 20:38:27 iirc the last two don't have end-to-end encryption last time I checked 20:38:37 And no mobile apps either 20:39:23 of these, Matrix is the only one I really have any time for given that it tries to do interoperability rather than being its own little island, but in practice it is held back by governance issues 20:39:34 Matrix practically syncs all messages back to the Matrix.org home server since there's always at least one Matrix.org user in every chat room unless the home servers are defederated 20:39:50 (I'm involved in an early-stages project to fork Matrix as a protocol, actually, because of this) 20:40:15 so yeah my thoughts on Matrix are complicated 20:40:16 Ok, nice 20:40:30 I think Matrix has lots of problems but approximately none of them are the things that XMPP people like to complain about 20:40:30 It's a hard thing to accomplish 20:40:57 and imo Matrix gets a lot of flak for the wrong reasons, and not enough for the right reasons :) 20:41:30 but yeah, outside of niche messengers (like for example briar) I generally only really bother evaluating things that have a long-term future 20:41:45 Yeah, understandable 20:41:47 things that are unlikely to be gone and replaced 10 years from now 20:42:10 very, very few messengers meet that bar, most of them are either outright VC-funded or technically aren't but copy their mechanisms and governance 20:42:29 and that means they are functionally disposable, attempts at gaining marketshare rather than 'solving messaging', ie. not worth my energy :) 20:42:48 Yeah 20:45:09 I would say that Matrix had a lot of the right ideas here in terms of sustainability, but it eventually got caught in its own governance trap, it was trying to do things 'institutionally' but without really enough funding to do so 20:45:28 The Mozilla trap 20:45:41 hence why I'm working on a protocol fork, taking the useful and good bits of Matrix and hopefully avoiding the bad bits 20:45:44 yeah 20:45:52 I mean, Mozilla is a bit weird 20:46:06 it originated from a company rather than a project, quite unusually 20:46:22 Maybe try adding in native Tor support into the forked client 20:46:23 but Mozilla and Matrix do suffer from many similar issues 20:46:42 From what I've heard using Matrix with Tor is a bit of a shitshow 20:46:51 well, it's a protocol fork, what the clients do is not the protocol's concern :p as long as it supports it 20:47:12 Some clients it doesn't work on and the real IP is used instead 20:47:16 Stuff like that 20:47:36 right, but that is not controlled by the protocol 20:47:42 Right 20:48:02 the main focus is on more decentralized and less institutional governance 20:48:18 and thereby having much better representation of users and contributors and what they actually need 20:48:26 as that is what matrix governance is breaking on 20:48:35 Ok 20:53:56 like, to put it bluntly, if you've ever used Matrix and were annoyed by something with it being a continuous problem or missing feature, the reason can probably be traced back to the governance issues 20:54:44 notification sound 20:54:56 The Improved Sound System Is Coming Soon 21:03:56 joepie91|m: https://salty.im/ 21:04:07 ^ I figured I'd show you this 21:04:19 A techie I know on Discord was excited about it 21:04:30 It's too neckbeardy for my taste right now 21:05:20 Plus having to register your own domain name for it is a bit of a turn-off 21:29:02 this looks like just a 1:1 messaging thing? 21:30:03 like, building a chat protocol is not in and of itself hard, there are a few specific things that are difficult to get right and I'm not seeing any indication of this doing any of them 21:30:31 hm. I'm not sure this is meant for a general audience to begin with 21:45:46 * fireonlive writes matrix in blood on the mirror, then smashes mirror 21:45:55 😠 22:00:59 https://twitter.com/ericlaw/status/1780337213173018988 22:01:01 interesting 22:04:03 joepie91|m: tbh, I fail to see much to get excited about in salty.im 22:04:20 I figured it was just me who "didn't get it" 22:09:36 omg why is everyone quitting 22:12:33 Notrealname1234: Probably a netsplit 22:12:49 okay 22:13:09 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit 22:18:48 https://youtu.be/t3otBjVZzT0 22:19:35 icedice: yeah no, I agree - I don't see anything obviously bad about it, just also nothing especially interesting 22:20:01 I think this is just meant as a personal project, in which case it's... fine, honestly? 22:20:06 Yeah 22:20:54 Just odd how excited the guy seemed about it, acting like it would be the golden standard for private communications alongside SimpleX Chat 22:24:30 https://archive.is/VRODM 22:24:56 do you all know a irc client that is on android works on hackint? 22:25:51 Notrealname1234: Revolution 22:26:07 You can also use IRCCloud and have it be cross platform 22:26:50 thanks 22:28:22 I wish The Lounge would let me selectively ignore joins and leaves for a specific nick lol 22:36:20 thanks 22:38:34 thanks for finding the irc client 22:40:42 better setup the one for wikipedia 22:40:57 i edit there if you want to know 22:48:07 also, because of this, i might be active 24/7 now 22:58:39 IRCCloud is paid 22:59:50 Notrealname1234 - it might be better to setup something like The Lounge. Otherwise you're going to be spamming everyone more than you do now with join/leave lol. The Android client is going to do reconnects everytime you have spotty reception 23:00:27 dang it, what do i do 23:01:45 nulldata 23:14:07 im not gonna setup the lounge because that requires a server 23:23:43 IRCCloud is paid 23:23:46 Nah, freemium 23:24:04 You get two IRC networks + IRCCloud's own IRC network for free 23:24:25 So it's enough for hackint and Wikipedia 23:24:28 irccloud has a network?! 23:24:32 > Stay connected for 2 hours while inactive 23:24:33 lol 23:24:52 also irccloud's client has emoji reactions 23:24:53 "2 IRC connections 23:24:53 (other than irc.irccloud.com)" 23:24:57 Seems like it 23:25:06 But yeah, not a great free plan 23:25:23 The Lounge or Convos would be better 23:25:52 time to setup a server :p 23:26:30 nuh uh 23:26:36 i wont setup a server 23:26:43 https://wiki.archiveteam.org/index.php/User:JustAnotherArchivist/The_Lounge 23:27:26 i need something thats a android app 23:27:58 JAA: https://dl.fireon.live/irc/418681892c08dbc9/The_Lounge.png 23:28:01 x3 23:28:17 You're not going to get a stable IRC connection from a mobile device without some kind of intermediate host (bouncer or hosted IRC client). 23:30:46 The Lounge requires self hosting which i can't do 23:31:06 fireonlive: https://transfer.archivete.am/inline/s3CyP/fireonlive.png 23:31:09 :-) 23:32:16 xD 23:32:39 JAA says: "buh-bye" 23:33:35 still, i need something thats an Android app 23:34:13 irccloud is probably the closest you'll get 23:34:18 Notrealname1234: I believe there are some places where you can get a free bouncer, but I have no experience with them. But yes, you'll need some sort of server or a hosted service like IRCCloud. IRC is 35 years old and doesn't work well with mobile devices on unstable connections. 23:34:25 you'll just disconnect less often 23:34:47 Maaaybe IRCv3 will eventually solve the problem, but who knows. 23:35:51 ergo has a built in bouncer always online nick thingy but... it's still early days (only one server, no 'network') 23:36:16 still will be on this app 23:42:55 Use a free bouncer 23:43:09 Just don't get shocked if they don't care about your privacy 23:43:25 I'd assume they log what they can 23:47:48 nuh uh 23:48:07 yeah im leaving 23:49:08 Can't help lazy 23:49:39 heh 23:53:51 tbh, we should probably just have told him to use the Matrix bridge 23:54:48 but that requires an ~account~ 23:58:27 meh, I just threw TheLounge on a raspi on a shelf next to my wifi router, ain't hard. I'm a software idiot and it took me less than an hour.
