WhatsApp keeps doing it: every a couple of months you wake up and suddenly you can't access your chats anymore, not possible to read important saved notes, etc. you are welcomed with this screen that forces you to update the app, you might be in vacations with expensive roaming data or very bad connectivity or if you are unlucky enough you might be in a country where the app store is not accessible, your data is not YOUR data in WhatsApp, and the reality is: you can lose it at any time they want to take it away from you

On the other side, ArcaneChat users can sleep without worries at night knowing that when they wake up they can keep accessing all their chats, messages and being able to search and use mini-apps, even while offline

With ArcaneChat you really own your data, it is in your pockets, not in the cloud of some corporation you have to beg access to

The software development community has a naysayer problem

https://iain.rocks/blog/the-software-development-community-has-a-naysayer-problem

I have some commentary about this article to share. Before you read my commentary you need to understand the meaning of 'marmaluke'. Really.

"... the entire point of the layered encryption is that you make it a lot harder to know when you’ve cracked the first layer."

We've gone over this idea many years in the past. The gatekeeper community ain't havin' it.

"Security via obfuscation in encryption? We’re done here. ..... “Hiding what you’re doing in encryption doesn’t make it any more secure.”" .... I got this response many times. Many people seem to fail to understand that encryption is literally obsfucating the data. You’re changing the data so people can’t understand it, and it can be un-obfuscated, aka decrypted which is the entire point. ..... The number of people who called this concept security via obscurity is shocking. It’s a new concept, but just because it’s a new idea doesn’t mean the point of it is to be obscure."

The author is right and wrong.

This is not the first time anyone has proposed the idea of chunking up encryption and cascading ciphers. He is mistaken about that claim.

However he is right about 'security through obscurity' and I will explain why.

The parrots love to shout about "Kerkchoff's Principle", which they say is a truism that security through obscurity is either bad or is not security at all. And this is a lie. The reason it is a lie is because that is not what Kerkchoff said. They have inverted Kerkchoff's Principle to read: "You must disclose the algorithms, or else you are playing security dice." This is totally false.

If obscurity of the method had no effect on security, then classified secrets would be pointless. Classified weapons would be pointless. Classified operations would be pointless. Hiding your location from a stalker would be pointless. If obscurity did not boost operational security, then every police detective would call the criminals in advance to let them know they are being investigated. The military would publish battle plans in advance on the six o'oclock news since 'security through obscurity' is bad.

Kerckhoff’s Principle states that security should not be dependent on the secrecy of the cipher but rather on the secrecy of the key. It is not a mandate to declare which cipher is being used. That is just stupid. Yet some 'cryptography experts' define it this way because they don't know what the hell they are talking about.

If I use a basket of ciphers, and choose a random cascade of them in a random order, that random choice is part of the key schedule, and obscuring the choice of ciphers DOES increase the mathematical hardness and security of the ciphertext. This is what the amateur author is instinctively grasping, and his detractors are wrong, and criticizing the wrong things for the wrong reasons. Without realizing it they are doing the bidding of gatekeepers who don't want widespread cascade ciphers because they require much more time and resources to crack. Just have a look at the recent drama at the crypto standards group trying to remove fallback ciphers in KEM system standards. The gatekeepers don't want us using baskets of ciphers. They want everyone using the same standard, singular lock model on every treasure chest.

Yes, satan's little helpers love to shoot everyone down to make them fall in line with the gatekeeper agendas. These marmaluke parrots and popinjays have no idea that their 'thought leaders' are nowhere near as competent as they portray themselves. In order to keep the illusion going, they try to put others down to ensure their idols remain higher than and aloft over the crowd. Singular people are smart. Put a whole crowd of smart people in a [chat] room or forum and they all get dumb really quickly. IQ addition is a lossy operation.

Who cares that an amateur is experimenting and learning? What kind of dinkus tries to shout that down? What kind of maroon always has to jump in with unproductive whataboutery instead of playing along and helping improve the game play? An authoritarian marmaluke, that's what kind. It seems a lot of jackasses who over-rate their own knowledge ... want to use negativity and boundary policing to prevent the curious from exploration.

"This is probably the best example of how bad the software community actually is. It was a bunch of naysayers who GCHQ called “Script Kiddie cybersecurity experts” because they were just parroting things they’ve heard about security without truly understanding them."

He gets it. Don't cave to the naysayer marmaluke parrots. I say more power to the curious. Let them try and fail and try and fail as many times as they have the grit to bear. That is how we learn to walk, run ... and fly.

I do think some of the author's conclusions are mistaken, such as GCHQ finding his idea 'new' or 'useful', since they have actually used these kinds of cascades and segmented, fractionated, and 'railfence' ciphers since WW1. But let him figure that out and give him ideas to arrive at the right conclusions instead of parroting wrote social rules and mores that aren't even being correctly described.

If you are an ideological boundary cop, you are an enemy of basic humanity. Go away thought cop. Let the curious thrive, and live, and die as explorers.

A quotation from William Pitt

It is true, the bill is said to be founded on necessity; but what is this? Is it not necessity, which has always been the plea of every illegal exertion of power, or exercise of oppression? Is not necessity the pretence of every usurpation? Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom. It is the argument of tyrants; it is the creed of slaves.

William Pitt (1759–1806) British Prime Minister (1804–06) [William Pitt the Younger]
Speech (1793-11-18), House of Commons, London

William Pitt quote

There's this infographic on the train. A guy's connecting to the open WiFi network on the train and then logging in to a bank, and apparently another guy sitting nearby with a laptop (and an evil grin) intercepts that password. The infographic goes on to say that you should use a #VPN to protect against that.

Do I want to point out that not only this is bullshit, but for most people a "VPN" actually means installing some spyware?

Google Search is making it harder to see where links actually lead.

Some search results are now routed through encoded google[.]com/goto?url= redirects instead of linking directly to the destination. That means hovering over a result may no longer reveal the real website before you click.

This matters for spotting phishing pages, fake downloads, and malicious ads.

Heads up to anyone security-minded who's upgrading to iOS 27. I just did, and I couldn't enable iMessage afterwards. It told me that I need to sign into the same Apple Account because I use Contact Key Verification.

Must be a bug, because I turned off CKV and then I could enable iMessage. CKV turned itself back on and all is well, but that was slightly annoying.

My current chain of preference is
1. Official repos for my distro (currently OpenSUSE Tumbleweed)
2. FlatHub (with occasional fiddling with the permissions using Flatseal)
3. Find official downloads page via article on Wikipedia or other "trusted" source such as F-Droid (for apps that have an official Android version) (better than trusting the top results in a search engine IMO)

This is why I always isolate my smart home devices on a separate guest network.

Many modern routers allow you to enable "client isolation" or "AP isolation" on the guest band, which ensures that connected devices can access the internet but cannot see or communicate with each other, nor with your main private network.

Smart plugs, bulbs, and cameras often have weaker security than computers or phones. If a malicious actor hacks one smart device, client isolation stops them from moving laterally to your laptop, phone, or NAS drive.

Overall, it prevents devices from scanning your local network to snoop on your private traffic or personal files. So even sneaky and greedy corporations like LG see and know nothing you don't want them to see or know.

You can still get full remote control of your smart home via the cloud — if that is what you're doing — without sacrificing your home network's overall security perimeter.

Zoom on Linux sucks. Well, yes, I know Zoom suck in general but so many work/care related meetings I need to attend use it -- but for me the last few months, it's breaking by freezing on joining/adjusting settings, or booting me at being assigned to a breakout room, and this is via all kinds of installation methods on Linux (software centre, terminal, Snap, Flatpak etc) and even the guidance out there about fixes for Debian-based distros hasn't helped. It's a good thing I don't host workshops on Zoom these days, but when I do again, an open source, privacy-respecting alternative that provides live captioning would be great (feel free to share your recommendations!) #Zoom #Linux #VideoMeetings #VideoConferencing #accessibility #privacy #security

A quotation from Eisenhower

   The way chosen by the United States was plainly marked by a few clear precepts, which govern its conduct in world affairs.
   First: No people on earth can be held, as a people, to be enemy, for all humanity shares the common hunger for peace and fellowship and justice.
   Second: No nation’s security and well-being can be lastingly achieved in isolation but only in effective cooperation with fellow-nations.
   Third: Any nation’s right to form of government and an economic system of its own choosing is inalienable.
   Fourth: Any nation’s attempt to dictate to other nations their form of government is indefensible.
   And fifth: A nation’s hope of lasting peace cannot be firmly based upon any race in armaments but rather upon just relations and honest understanding with all other nations.
   In the light of these principles the citizens of the United States defined the way they proposed to follow, through the aftermath of war, toward true peace.

Dwight David Eisenhower (1890–1969) American general, US President (1953–61)
