mvolfik··on Every day at the same time, my internet dies for 1 minute. How do I investigate?
likely router -> ISP - if it was the devices, they could show up as not being connected to the network. also weird that all devices' leases would expire at the same time
mvolfik··on Why Isn’t Telegram End-to-End Encrypted by Default (2017)
this. the endless complaints about telegram not being E2EE by default always blow my mind. can we have a discussion about other more serious issues with Telegram, if there are any?
mvolfik··on The Most Backdoor-Looking Bug I’ve Ever Seen
Oh, thanks, I thought it's only needed for it to show up at all.

That's very yikes indeed

mvolfik··on The Most Backdoor-Looking Bug I’ve Ever Seen
"[flagged]". I'm a HN noob, is there a way to see it? Or what did it say?
mvolfik··on The Most Backdoor-Looking Bug I’ve Ever Seen
The point was about where is the data hosted.

The answer is that it's distributed, so you would need court orders in an insane amount of countries to get any decrypted data from telegram

mvolfik··on Ask HN: Show me your half baked project
https://eyp-calls.tk https://github.com/mvolfik/eyp-calls if anyone wants to look. Simple scraping + results presentation, utilizing Cloudflare workers + python Scrapy, actually pretty interesting imo. (It probably won't be useful to you, this is a tool just for members of a specific organization.
mvolfik··on Signal, thank you for not collecting my data. But I won’t use you
ok, tbh I don't delete chats, so never noticed this

> I’m bit reluctant to use Telegram due to its poor user interface

I wonder what they mean by that. There was a recent post on HN where many people said that it's one of the most polished private messengers (and I myself love it too).

As for the connections to Russia, this isn't an issue, since they store all their data encrypted in datacenters around the world, making it near-impossible for the governments to get decrypted data by court orders in all needed countries.

They also again mentioned the misconception that "telegram is not secure by default". See https://telegra.ph/Why-Isnt-Telegram-End-to-End-Encrypted-by...

Seems like you are posting your own project, which is OK, but include "[Show HN]" at the beginning of the post title

Wait what you guys actually save time by automating things?

Thanks for this comment, made me realize people actually look at it, so I finally created my portfolio there. Would love if you could look at it again and provide any feedback
mvolfik··on DNS Key Value Storage
What is the option 'd to pass a custom domain key'? What is a domain key?
mvolfik··on DNS Key Value Storage
thanks, the docs could be more verbose. for those who don't know how does the updating work:

  dig txt u[update-secret].value.key.dnskv.com # set for first time
  dig txt u[update-secret].new-value.key.dnskv.com # use the same update secret, noone can now use this key without it until expiry
also helps to add

  dig @ns.dnskv.com. txt ... 
to prevent caching or what it's called in DNS

I'm a 17 y.o. high school student, did a lot with Flask so I would say I'm proficient with it. Looking for some internship-like job I can do while studying. Willing to learn other Python (FastAPI etc.) or other languages (I liked Kotlin when I learned Android basics) if you like my other work and want to try me.
