Last Notes npub10u98z0s4rhgpgytwj846gpydpx5are6cqpnprdg2wttlz662g27qgr77nw Linus Gasser Here is a publicly available paper which shows how you can break the older version of the E2EE in Nextcloud: npub10u98z0s4rhgpgytwj846gpydpx5are6cqpnprdg2wttlz662g27qgr77nw Linus Gasser Second this... npub10u98z0s4rhgpgytwj846gpydpx5are6cqpnprdg2wttlz662g27qgr77nw Linus Gasser Very nice figure - first I was confused, but then it made sense :) npub10u98z0s4rhgpgytwj846gpydpx5are6cqpnprdg2wttlz662g27qgr77nw Linus Gasser I just asked Claude what it thinks about our half-project report: npub10u98z0s4rhgpgytwj846gpydpx5are6cqpnprdg2wttlz662g27qgr77nw Linus Gasser you probably already saw this, but just in case... npub10u98z0s4rhgpgytwj846gpydpx5are6cqpnprdg2wttlz662g27qgr77nw Linus Gasser I wanted to point out that the "exposure to untrusted content" is sometimes difficult to be separated from the "ability to exfiltrate". npub10u98z0s4rhgpgytwj846gpydpx5are6cqpnprdg2wttlz662g27qgr77nw Linus Gasser Great article. You could summarize it by saying the "lethal duality", as "exposure to untrusted content" most often means "ability to externally communicate". Even if it is only by sending out a GET request to fetch the data. But that is enough to also leak your private data... npub10u98z0s4rhgpgytwj846gpydpx5are6cqpnprdg2wttlz662g27qgr77nw Linus Gasser Please prove me wrong :) npub10u98z0s4rhgpgytwj846gpydpx5are6cqpnprdg2wttlz662g27qgr77nw Linus Gasser Do you really believe vibe-coding is possible without programming knowledge? I tried most of them in March, and the result was quite depressing: if I didn't know my way around npm, rust, whatever, I couldn't have done anything. npub10u98z0s4rhgpgytwj846gpydpx5are6cqpnprdg2wttlz662g27qgr77nw Linus Gasser I was wondering how this compares year-to-year. But in fact this _is_ year-to-year, according to the article. In there they also discuss the possible effect of Easter, but then they compare US travellers with international travellers.
