It’s a phishing campaign. Update signal and don’t give strangers your details. Also the windows desktop app sucks. Due to windows being insecure.
Yes, and more rapey.

I think I was wrong about PGP signed emails and the Internet did what the Internet does lol
However no one should be contacting you out of the blue and asking for an initial point of contact to be in an unencrypted means.
You’re absolutely correct. Also I’m not saying that MidnightMan is trying to do anything nefarious, only that they’re going about it in a strange and concerning way.
Yes, thank for the context. However I know what a DF key exchange is. I’m more worried about the link below.

And that a day old account is contacting me about sending me emails.
Sorry if that sounded snarky.
Agreed, you’re right, they could share the public key and verify the user on their end. However, it’s on par with sharing notes on paper. Also they verify you with PGP how do you verify them?
Agreed. It’s a DM he’s spammed out. He’s a 22 hour old account and already has two banned comments the other comment is referencing how to bypass security… Smells like a right wing script kiddy looking for targets. I’m not a mod on You Should Know but before he knew about it, my post had 7 upvotes, now it’s sitting at -5 over there.
Either way, Email is plain text so any cryptographic elements shared there are already compromised. I have to go do other things. Just wanted to make sure the community here was aware.
FORTRAN could be said to be security through obscurity though /s
Yep, but we’ve got at least a decade to do it, and when new systems are stood up they “should” be in compliance.
Known and vetted systems are always the most secure. Until RSA is broken, and then they’ll need to update to a quantum resilient standard. Which we’ve had in the wild for 6 years already and the NIST has officially approved for 2 years.
We’re still at least a decade away from a machine with enough qbits to do it. So i feel like we should be fine.
It’s the fucking Credit Bureaus, Telecoms, and Energy Companies I worry about. They keep fucking up.
Thanks for the suggestion
What would you suggest instead?
Install fresh tomato to this and you’ll get a much better AP with very good firewall and QOS and traffic inspection. Also good SNMP for monitoring
Yeah I got the joke, that’s why I laughed. Sorry if it came off as snarky. Text doesn’t do a good job of relating humor or laughter sometimes.
In regards to Slackware…woosh. My first edit of this missed the joke completely. Yes Slackware needs our help, all 32bit distros could use a little help honestly.
I read in another thread that Elon is telling gov employees to stop using Slack due to FOIA…
If you’re being told to get off Slack by your new illegal oberlords the below may be of interest.
Mattermost is a great substitute for self hosting comms. So is Element over Matrix or just the signal app.

For those interested, if you’re organizing use E2E comms and if you’re researching use Tor Browser. Better yet use a Tails USB on a coffee shop wifi.

And don’t communicate over email, even encrypted email.
For a place to start looking for aid and assistance. If there’s a fridge or book or tool share that’s not there, notify them please so they can update the site.
If you’re looking for a place to help, look up Food Not Bombs plus whatever city is closest to you.
http://foodnotbombs.net/new_site/volunteer.php
I understand it’s an http site. Don’t sign up for anything that doesn’t pass your vibe check.
A cancer does this also.
We’re trying! You didn’t know Karla when you were there did you? She had the best stories about Spain.
Hahahaha you said linux users in the same breath of marginalized folk.
The cloud is linux. I don’t think social media is where we’re marginalized.
I agree with everything else you’ve said.
Sign up on the strike card only if you trust the organizers on that site, however it is something being talked about on tbe calendar.
Thanks for this, I’m gonna share this.
