Really?! Okay. I think your troll radar is well off, but it’s your opinion so you do you I suppose.

Maybe you are the troll. Like 4D chess level of troll. =D

Your post history and mod logs are also quite weird.

Lol what does that mean

The entire article seems like an attack. The author finds a unique identifier and adds “Russia bad” throughout.

States the information is in cleartext but then explains how everything is encrypted (in transit).

What will the author do if they intercepted any single online stores transfer of credit card details. Also encrypted in transit but Is that also deemed as cleartext? Or is that okay?

I don’t think much new is learnt here. WhatsApp also sends metadata in “cleartext” (not really, as it’s encrypted in transit, but this article called that “cleartext”).

Seeing steam at the top makes me question the list. Likely a hate of DRM rather than privacy

Because it would stink. I get your point but there are better ways of demonstrating it.

I know Lemmy hates telegram but it should be common knowledge that all platforms process requests from authorities.

The repeated posting of this story the last few days seems artificial.

Is it identifiable? Can it be attributed to individual car level?

Your PC network card keeps the connection up in order to receive wake on LAN requests.

Any link activity whilst the PC is shutdown is packets that were broadcasted to the entire network. Other PCs, DHCP requests, etc send traffic to all devices on the network. So seeing some traffic whilst it’s off is nothing to worry about.

I wouldn’t want bank notifications emailed to me. Maybe a notification that I have a notification, but no real content. Email is incredibly insecure.

Thank you. That is a good explanation.

Okay, I understand so far.

What I am struggling with is the limitations of duristriction.

So the EU finds the Australian company in breach of their rules. They send a notice of intent to pursue damages to the Australian company. And they tell the EU to kick rocks.

Surely laws made up in one country don’t apply in all. The internet makes this a muddy area, as it’s fully connected and nothing is stopping Joe in Netherlands from signing up to a service hosted in Vietnam. The Vietnam company can just ignore GDPR, ignore requests, ignore fines.

So say a local Australian software company tells you to get fkd. What can the EU regulator do?

Can’t a non EU holder of your data tell you to kick rocks?

The governance has a secret system.

This is what I use today. However spammers can easily remove the plus address to send email normally so isn’t quite so effective.

What frustrates me is so many websites strip the ‘+’ from the address, either as inline JavaScript or even worse, after submission.

Back when I used self hosted mail, I wrote an extension that requested a new alias based on the domain of the website.

Like website.net_d5g4j8@mydomain.com

If the site got compromised I would update the random characters.

I still have 800+ aliases left over from this. But after moving to hosted mail I never updated the extension.

It’s both a security announcement and advertisement.

I expect what they mean is that the credentials are encrypted only in transit

It’s got that telegram is funded by Russia, is that true?

Wikipedia says the opposite.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telegram_(software)

Telegram was launched in 2013 by the brothers Nikolai and Pavel Durov. Previously, the pair founded the Russian social network VK, which they left in 2014, saying it had been taken over by the government. Pavel sold his remaining stake in VK and left Russia after resisting government pressure.

But spoofing doesn’t allow a 2 way conversation. Confirming the email should be enough

Why isn’t FTP secure

They aren’t mandatory as there is a free option
