Experto credite, lieber Herr Merz.

Ich habe 21 Jahre lang amerikanische Cloud (auch an deutsche Behörden) verkauft. Erst direkt bei Microsoft im Public Sector, dann über den Channel. Ich kenne die Folien, ich habe einige davon selbst gebaut. Deshalb erlaube ich mir heute, was ich sonst meide: einen Brief an einen Politiker.

Sie haben beim Digitalgipfel gesagt, die Google-Cloud der Nachrichtendienste sei “nicht eine voll integrierte Infrastruktur, sondern eine europäische Infrastruktur”. Und: “Die ist für uns sicher.”
Ich kenne diesen Satz. Er stand in jedem Angebot, das ich je mit abgegeben habe. Nur dass wir ihn nicht selbst sagten, sondern das Gespräch immer so gelenkt haben, dass der Kunde ihn selber ausspricht. Sie haben ihn für uns gesagt. Vor Publikum. Während das BSI noch prüft.

Lassen Sie mich erklären, wie das Spiel aus der Innenperspektive funktioniert. Jedes Mal, wenn die Fragen der Kunden besser wurden, haben wir eine Schicht dazugebaut. Erst lag das Rechenzentrum in Frankfurt. Dann kam eine deutsche Betreibergesellschaft. Dann Mitarbeiter mit Sicherheitsüberprüfung, dann Update-Reviews durch Dritte, dann Air Gap. Jede Schicht war echt. Jede Schicht hat ein Bedenken erledigt. Und eine Sache hat sich in all den Jahren nie bewegt: Wer den Code schreibt, der das System am Leben hält.

Es geht nämlich nicht um den hypothetischen Film, in dem ein US-Präsident Google zwingt, Ihre Geheimnisse herauszugeben. Den Film kann man mit einem Air Gap tatsächlich abdrehen. Es geht um die Szene, in der schlicht kein Update mehr kommt. Dann haben die Dienste ein paar Monate, um umzuziehen. Wohin, lieber Herr Merz? An den Ort, der nie gebaut wurde, weil DER Ankerkunde, den SIE selbst vor einem Jahr versprochen haben, gerade 500 Millionen Euro nach Mountain View überwiesen hat?

Sie haben in derselben Rede den besten Satz des Tages gesagt: Die Frage sei nicht mehr make or buy, sondern wer die Regeln setzt. Experto credite: Die Regeln setzt, wer die Updates signiert. Immer. Das ist kein Vorwurf an Google, das ist das Geschäftsmodell. Ich habe davon gelebt.

Niemand Ernstzunehmendes verlangt Autarkie. Und Dr. Sven Herpig hat recht, eine unsichere deutsche Bude wäre keine Lösung. Aber zwischen “voll autark” und “Google nennen wir jetzt europäisch” liegt ein Kontinent. Er heißt Europa. Mit Anbietern, die es längst gibt. Man müsste sie nur beauftragen.
Ich arbeite heute für einen europäischen Anbieter. Das dürfen Sie sehr gern als Befangenheit lesen. Oder als den Grund, warum ich weiß, wovon ich rede. Ich bin damit übrigens nicht allein, fragen Sie Prof. Harald Wehnes.

Die Souveränität liegt nicht im Standort des Rechenzentrums.
Sie liegt in der Hand, die den Update-Button drückt.

One less excuse.

Me first PR to #Marginalia finally got merged!

Spoiler: No code change. Just optimizing PNGs :))))

#opensource #foss

Ello Ello!

I am looking for #opensource #rust freelance jobs. I have extensive experience profiling and optimizing rust codebase for performance(CPU time and memory). And I am interested in similar projects. e.g. #hpc. I am also fluent with #Python. Have intermediate skill with #CommonLisp. And I am familiar with C/C++.

Other than these, I work well with theories, even though I haven't got formal university degree. I can study and understand references, academic papers, RFCs, and I can also dive deep into source code of other softwares to find the answer I'm looking for.

I would be more interested if the project has got close ties with #AI and #ML. For instance, #MachineLearning inference or training engine would be very much interesting! If the project is about research, even better! Personally, I've been hanging around #GeneticProgramming last few years.

I am also interested in learning GPU Programming, C/C++ and #Julia if the project requires them.

I don't want any job from entities based in the US. Such as corporations, companies or organizations.

You can ping me here on Fedi or otherwise email me(address below) to get more information about what I've done. However, the best way to prove meself is doing a task.

codestats 1.0 is out! It's a command-line tool, written in Rust, that counts the code, comment, blank, and shebang lines in a codebase by language. My last post about it was for version 0.7.0, so there's a lot that's changed since then.

My goal for 1.0 was to make Codestats the fastest and most accurate code counter around. I've successfully done this, with numbers to proove it.

Speed, with every tool counting the same files on Linux:

• cpython: 18 ms. mezura takes 24, scc 51, and tokei 107.
• The Linux kernel, 63,738 files: 217 ms. mezura takes 238, scc 626, and tokei 1,106.

What's new since 0.7.0:

• cs diff compares line counts by language between git revisions.
• Code embedded in other languages is counted by its own language's rules: script and style elements in HTML, Vue, Svelte, and Astro, code blocks in Markdown, HTML in PHP, and more.
• Comment markers inside strings are ignored, Python docstrings count as comments, and heredocs, raw strings, and interpolated strings are read correctly.
• Generated files are detected by their headers and skipped by default.
• Linguist attributes in .gitattributes are respected.
• --git counts only the files git tracks.
• You can count several paths together, or read paths from standard input, as in git ls-files -z | cs -
• --ext counts only the extensions you ask for.
• It recognizes more than 560 languages, and detection is much better for extensions that several languages share, such as .h and .m.
• Starting with 1.0, JSON fields, CSV and TSV columns, and config file keys only change in a new major version.

Prebuilt binaries for Linux, macOS, and Windows are on GitHub, each for x86-64 and ARM64. You can also run cargo install codestats, but the prebuilt binaries are faster because they use profile-guided optimization.

Stable software often ships with known bugs because the fixes are never backported. That backlog is now an easy target for cyber-capable agents.

A backport used to take an engineer days. With Codex and GPT-5.6, we’ve cut that to ~30 min for a straightforward fix (~3h for an involved one) and applied 149 CVE fixes to the Linux kernel so far.

@penguinrebellion Signal is not good.

They seem to absolutely love/adore Google, Apple, and Amazon. So much that they even hide the APK page on their website and only promote Google Play Store or App Store. Try find it on their website without using a search engine. Spoiler: you will fail.

And when you finally find the download APK page, Signal states it is "safer and easier" to get Signal on Google Play Store or the App Store. Easier? Yes. But safer? Only in your dreams.

They love/adore Google and Apple so much that creating an account without a phone number requires you to give your full legal name, home address, phone number, and credit card information to either Google or Apple (depending on what device you use).

And Signal love privacy and values yours, too. Oh, the irony.

So no, I would not recommend Signal other than Signal Protocol. Good news: OMEMO (the encryption method in XMPP) uses Signal Protocol. So with that said, I recommend XMPP instead of the Big Tech loving Signal.

The Signal Protocol in Rust

TL;DR: I have open-sourced a #Rust implementation of the #SignalProtocol that compiles to #WASM for #Browser-based #P2P messaging, overcoming the #Nodejs limitations of the official library.

I am sharing my implementation of the Signal Protocol designed specifically for the #Frontend. While the official libsignal is the gold standard, its #JavaScript targets are often optimized for Node.js, which creates integration challenges for client-side web applications.

My version is built in #RustLang and compiles to #WebAssembly, utilizing #ModuleFederation to provide robust #Encryption for decentralized environments. It currently powers the end-to-end security for my series of #P2P messaging projects.

Protocol Demo:
https://signal.positive-intentions.com/

P2P Messaging roadmap:
https://glitr.io/docs/technical/roadmap

I am looking for feedback from the #Dev and #Infosec community. If you have experience with #Cryptography audits or formal-proof verification, I would appreciate your eyes on the codebase as I work toward a more finished state.
