http://blog.fefe.de/?ts=9d43e514: Benutzt hier jemand Threema? Die Applied Cryptography Group der ETH Zürich hat mal das Protokoll analysiert und mehrere gravierende Schwachstellen gefunden.Das ist bemerkenswert, denn Threema hat bereits mehrere Audits hinter sich. Die haben aber offenbar eher auf Code-Qualität als auf die Protokolle geguckt, jedenfalls haben die diese Probleme nicht gefunden.Threema hat in der Zwischenzeit ein neues Protokoll ausgerollt, das Forward Secrecy für die E2E-Krypt...

vielleicht muss man bei den klimaprotesten nur das framing ändern - schutz vor klima-migration oder so.

57 life AWS keys found on PyPI, one belonging to Amazon itself.

If you’re at the right place at the right time, with the right equipment, this is possible.

Last night, with guidance from https://transit-finder.com/, I positioned myself along the narrow line where the International #SpaceStation would pass between me and the nearly full moon.

I used a Fujifilm X-T4 shooting 4K video through a Celestron 8” SCT to capture the pass. Then, back at the computer this morning, put together these views with PIPP, Registax, and GIMP.

Quite pleased. My best yet.

*stares at this forever* I..... ok wow

So today the @DPCIreland@twitter.com is about to talk about the #Meta decision. In an amazing move they now informed us that we (the other party to the procedure) will not get the decision, because they first give it to Meta so that they can redact anything they find "sensitive". Now what...

So, @noybeu@twitter.com (that the @DPCIreland@twitter.com calls "an [unspecified] Austrian complainant") won against @Meta@twitter.com.

time to hop on ebay

Major #GDPR fine by @EU_EDPB@twitter.com, overruling @DPCIreland@twitter.com: € 380 million instead of € 28 million.

Meta prohibited from using personal data for ads without user consent.

390 Millionen! WOW! Meta (Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp) darf zukünftig in der EU keine personenbezogenen Daten für Werbung nutzen. Schwerer Schlag für das Geschäftsmodell von Meta in Europa nach einer Beschwerde von noyb. Strafe von € 32 Millionen auf € 390 Millionen mehr als verzehnfacht.
