SuperShibeon GrapheneOS protections against data extraction from locked devices

It's been planned for years...

SuperShibeon Cybersecurity researchers aren't happy about the guardrails on Anthropic's Fable

The cybersecurity and bioweapons filters reach so far that they set in as soon as the model even glazes anything STEM-related. It might give a good impression of ones ex or write a decent fanfiction but anything that could bring humanity forward is strictly off-limits.

SuperShibeon Pebble Index 01 – External memory for your brain

yup that's what the Apple Watch double tap gesture does. On the hand wearing the watch you tap your thumb and index finger together 2 times in quick succession and the watch recognizes that unique motion pattern on your arm and does [something].

SuperShibeon Pebble Index 01 – External memory for your brain

Couldn't the same flow be achieved on a Pebble watch by utilizing something like the "double tap"-gesture Apple Watches Series 9 and upwards have?

This seems like a gadget just for the sake of having another gadget...

SuperShibeon Can you use GDPR to circumvent BlueSky's adult content blocks?

No one is going to the trouble of getting their target to GDPR-request their private DMs as well. This misses the point of the blogpost.

>Public messages risk a wide audience seeing the message

Anyone can easily circumvent this by using asymmetric cryptography to encrypt their messages.

SuperShibeon In Maine, prisoners are thriving in remote jobs

The obvious solution to this are harder sentences so you can imprison more people that are capable of this kind of work

SuperShibeon Germany and Italy pressed to bring $245B of gold home from US

The Germans in this article all appear to be aligned to either BSW (populist far-left, pro-Russia, anti-US) or AfD (populist far-right, pro-Russia). BSW wasn't even elected into the parliament and AfD, while being part of the parliament, has virtually no power due to not being part of the government coalition and all other parties sharing an informal agreement to not pass legislations with the help of AfD.

What I'm trying to say is that these two do not represent the German political landscape at all. They also, while on different ends of the left-right-spectrum, both only represent the pro-Russian minority of the German political landscape. This is not a debate happening in Germany right now and no other party has expressed support of any position.

SuperShibeon Japan's IC cards are weird and wonderful

It's probably more of a licensing fee thing, just editing the SKU in the deviceinfo partition of a global Pixel suffices to enable Osaifu Keitai. It's the same hardware everywhere, only licensing restrictions.

SuperShibeon I can’t understand Apple’s Critical Alert policy (2023)

This seems like something you could fix by reminding them that the DMA exists (if your app is available in the EU)

SuperShibeon An open source, self-hosted implementation of the Tailscale control server

only until someone finds a zeroday in headscale (remember, it never got audited) or until the server running headscale itself gets compromised. Especially in countries where getting a dedicated public IPv4+IPv6 from your ISP is hard-impossible and you‘d have to rely on a server hosted externally (unless you’re large enough to make deals with the ISP) some company hosting your server still retains at minimum physical control over your headscale infra. For why this is a problem, see the recent Oracle cloud breach.

SuperShibeon An open source, self-hosted implementation of the Tailscale control server

Every few months I come back to this repo to check if they finally got Tailnet lock running or if someone security audited them in the meanwhile. Unfortunately neither of these things seem to make any progress and thus, I’ve grown uncertain in how much I can trust this as a core part of my infrastructure.

The entire premise of Tailscale SaaS builds on creating tunnels around your firewalls, then enabling the user to police what is allowed to be routed through these tunnels in a intuitive and unified way.

Headscale seems to have nailed down the part of bypassing the firewall and doing fancy NAT-traversal, but can they also fulfill the second part by providing enough of their own security to make up for anything they just bypassed, or will they descend to just being a tool for exposing anything to the internet to fuck around with your local network admin? To me, not giving your Tailscale implementation any way for the user to understand or veto what the control server is instructing the clients to do while also not auditing your servers code at all sure seems daring…

SuperShibeon Siyuan: Privacy-first, self-hosted personal knowledge management software

Welp it appears from what I could find on their website that the Pro tier is needed to use all features even for selfhosted instances.

Am I missing something here or couldn’t people just fork this and pull off a vaultwarden?

SuperShibeon South Korean president declares martial law, parliament votes to lift it

> It is odd however that the U.S. government escalates in Ukraine, there is a new color revolution in Georgia (the country adjacent to Russia), the Syrian rebels launch a major attack and now this. All of this "coincidentally" makes Trump's peace efforts more difficult.

Escalating in Ukraine (against Russia), launching a major attack against Assad (a Russian ally) and an upcoming revolution against an (allegedly) pro-Russian government in Georgia all seem to fit into a pattern. This SK-thing seems to divide from that pattern and I’d say it is domestic until proven otherwise. If anything, those other small stabs against Russia will aid negotiations as Russias global influence will be weakened by multiple small fires, some of which western allies can put out more easily.

SuperShibeon Cops suspect iOS 18 iPhones are communicating to force reboots

This is wrong. While this clears a some keys and prevents anyone from holding the phone up your face to unlock it, it doesn’t bring the phone back into a full BFU state.

Some keys can still be read, and depending on the exploit they use a lot of data could be extracted. BFU + good passcode is always the way to go.

SuperShibeon Full Interview: Reddit CEO Steve Huffman Isn’t Backing Down

Telegram does the same. They just revoke your API access and on continuous violations ban your and your users accounts. Currently there are almost no apps daring to cross that line.

SuperShibeon Intel is all-in on backside power delivery

And meanwhile they're both getting cucked by Apple because the Intel/AMD brand monoliths are too heavy to make any groundbreaking/architectural changes now.

SuperShibeon r/ProgrammerHumor will be shutting down to protest Reddit's API changes

Actually, they do. A Reddit only consisting of r/AskReddit, r/aww, r/pics and r/tifu provides less value than just using Instagram/Twitter.

Most of the casual users I know use Reddit for a few small meme subreddits and topics that are too small for their main-platforms. If those are down, Reddit is dead to them.

(Of course Reddit could try to send their staff each down a different rabbit hole to fit them into the communities. This would be fucking hilarious. I hope this doesn't happen but if it happens, I'll have my popcorn ready.)

SuperShibeon Apple releasing segmentation/pose for humans and animals, embedding for 27 lang

For every good fitness app that does what it promises (-> signal) there are at least 50 bad fitness apps that promise too much and let you pre-pay for the (broken) features you wanted, money you'll never get back (-> noise).

The amount of noise in Fitness apps is so high, nobody really dares to try out small apps. Therefore cool implementations from small devs like the workout-correction might stay unnoticed for years.
