at some point, i'd love to work on an implementation of the of NVDA / where rather than using a 6-digit key that can be guessed, it uses that genrates using an algorithm like / (eliptic curve cryptography) in order to secure the connections. how it would work is you setup your connection. then, you'll get an encryption key for your session unique to that session. then, you give the user of the computer you want to control or who you want to control your computer the key. once both sides disconnect, the key automatically / automagically expires. it would be like a public / private keypare, where the key is stored on the server terminating the remote session (E.G. nv.seedy.cc, poweredge-r720.featherback-firefighter.ts.net) while the private key is stored on the machines connected to it. and optionally, a passfraze for the key to protect access even if that person has the key, sourt of like how public/private keypares work.

                "Health data is increasingly an important part of law enforcement or government investigations. Wearable data has been critical in a number of cases, where information about heart rate and steps was used to determine the whereabouts of individuals. And the surveillance company Penlink calls fitness trackers and wearables an “overlooked source” for law enforcement since they tend to show movement patterns and changes in heart rates. Law enforcement can try to get access to this data through subpoenas or warrants.

                There are many potential privacy issues with these sorts of devices, including whether the companies who make them share or sell information to third-parties. But here we are choosing to focus on two facets we’re concerned with around health data itself: 1) whether the company shares information with law enforcement and governments and 2) if they offer end-to-end encryption, which means the company itself can’t access that health data to begin with."

                          Apple says it would rather pull iMessage and FaceTime from the UK entirely than comply with new surveillance demands. Under the amended law, companies must clear security features with the government before release and scan encrypted messages on request.

                          Notice what makes that threat possible: Apple is a company with a headquarters, a server, and a product it can be forced to change or withdraw.

                          An app with none of those has nothing to weaken.

                            "In recent years, the Signal messaging app has become a newsroom staple, enabling journalists, colleagues, sources, and others to speak to one another securely with end-to-end encryption. This means no one except those in conversation — not even the service provider — can read your messages or listen in on your calls. Journalists use it individually, and we also see a trend toward using organizational Signal tiplines.

                            But it’s important to understand this is not a ”set it and forget it” decision. When talking to sensitive contacts, you do need to maintain your account to ensure it is safe and does not fall into the wrong hands.

                            Imagine if someone took over your Signal account. They could impersonate you, causing reputational damage, or worse, putting sources at risk. Unfortunately, this is not a hypothetical. We have seen at least one public example (and some less public) where newsrooms have lost access to Signal identifiers, sometimes leading to abuse.

                            There are a few simple things journalists can do to maximize the safety of their Signal account."

                                  the fun part is that by using chatmail:

                                  - DMs are already end-to-end encrypted
                                  - your identity is your encryption key and doesn't depend on a single home server
                                  - your profile is basically uncensorable

                                  since you need to give people your invite link it is kind of like private social network
