I love Unihertz's innovation. npub17wymzsllah3rrpz47nl3mwqgppzl6ram0k6k6y23kksn9het35asz4m6h8 Adam Lein The bike shop guy thought he was doing me a favor replacing the brake pads when I only wanted a new chain. He said he wouldn't charge for them after all, but... I really hate these brake pads! Not the brand I like at all! npub17wymzsllah3rrpz47nl3mwqgppzl6ram0k6k6y23kksn9het35asz4m6h8 Adam Lein @nprofile…fzqf Ha! I didn't go back the next day, but I will next time I'm near there. $7 full sized 12" calzone! Other places only make little 3 bite calzones for that price these days. npub17wymzsllah3rrpz47nl3mwqgppzl6ram0k6k6y23kksn9het35asz4m6h8 Adam Lein I think I need to go back to New Zealand for this. https://hydroattack.co.nz/ npub17wymzsllah3rrpz47nl3mwqgppzl6ram0k6k6y23kksn9het35asz4m6h8 Adam Lein @nprofile…fgyc I'll buy CDs from musicians at concerts (have them autographed), then rip it to MP3s for playing in JellyFin or on-device VLC. USB DVD/CD burners are still around and inexpensive. npub17wymzsllah3rrpz47nl3mwqgppzl6ram0k6k6y23kksn9het35asz4m6h8 Adam Lein Anyone can buy those Police vests online and pretend to be ICE agents. https://youtu.be/FmpOZsjbCks npub17wymzsllah3rrpz47nl3mwqgppzl6ram0k6k6y23kksn9het35asz4m6h8 Adam Lein This is what I always say: "It doesn't actually matter how cryptographically secure your end-to-end encryption is when 1 entity controls all ends and can instantly update them whenever they want." https://www.moparisthebest.com/against-silos-signal/ npub17wymzsllah3rrpz47nl3mwqgppzl6ram0k6k6y23kksn9het35asz4m6h8 Adam Lein @nprofile…v998 @nprofile…lkng We have Delta Chat, Simple X Chat, and Briar that are all actually open-source and decentralized encrypted messaging systems. I'd say they're even more user-friendly than Signal since there are no phone number requirements. Plus you make contacts via QR code key exchanges instead of letting the app scrape your contact list. npub17wymzsllah3rrpz47nl3mwqgppzl6ram0k6k6y23kksn9het35asz4m6h8 Adam Lein @nprofile…lkng Signal is centralized just the same as Whatsapp though. What's stopping them from enshittifixation too? They're already doing closed-spurce things. npub17wymzsllah3rrpz47nl3mwqgppzl6ram0k6k6y23kksn9het35asz4m6h8 Adam Lein @nprofile…64u0 Oh wait, I guess having the union down is a signal of dire distress according to the flag code.

So great how it matches up to the Rogue One movie! npub17wymzsllah3rrpz47nl3mwqgppzl6ram0k6k6y23kksn9het35asz4m6h8 Adam Lein Jeez! The Signal clone the US gov uses was super easy to hack. https://www.404media.co/the-signal-clone-the-trump-admin-uses-was-hacked/ npub17wymzsllah3rrpz47nl3mwqgppzl6ram0k6k6y23kksn9het35asz4m6h8 Adam Lein I don't think I like the new Plex app UI.

I hate that people don't do it so often. Sometimes I'll add to the conversation as if the acronym means something totally different from what they think it means just to be funny. npub17wymzsllah3rrpz47nl3mwqgppzl6ram0k6k6y23kksn9het35asz4m6h8 Adam Lein @nprofile…faxx Ah, nice! The decentralized ones still work! That's good. npub17wymzsllah3rrpz47nl3mwqgppzl6ram0k6k6y23kksn9het35asz4m6h8 Adam Lein @nprofile…zndp @nprofile…3ufw Would that happen if it was actually decentralized? npub17wymzsllah3rrpz47nl3mwqgppzl6ram0k6k6y23kksn9het35asz4m6h8 Adam Lein @nprofile…hrqr Yeah. I have a 3 month free Xbox Game Pass coupon that I used to play Indiana Jones on PC. If not for that, I'd be playing the Mafia games that I got for $0.70 each when those were on sale. npub17wymzsllah3rrpz47nl3mwqgppzl6ram0k6k6y23kksn9het35asz4m6h8 Adam Lein @nprofile…hrqr You have me wondering too. $20 is alright: https://gg.deals/game/sonic-frontiers/ I almost put Indiana Jones & the Great Circle on my list after recently beating that, but the others were "replay multiple times with friends" good. Oh, I should have put Jackbox Drawful! npub17wymzsllah3rrpz47nl3mwqgppzl6ram0k6k6y23kksn9het35asz4m6h8 Adam Lein @nprofile…hrqr Same. That’s why it's on my list! :) The newest one I played was "Sonic CD" because it was free one day on Steam. Are any of the newer ones good? I bought Sonic Forces for my nephew and he beat it in like a day so I felt like that wasn't worth it. npub17wymzsllah3rrpz47nl3mwqgppzl6ram0k6k6y23kksn9het35asz4m6h8 Adam Lein @nprofile…hrqr Ilo Milo Super Mario Brothers Ghost Recon Wildlands Star Wars Kinect Sonic the Hedgehog Mortal Kombat (1992) Tekken 3 Halo 4 Red Dead Redemption 2 Bioshock Infinite npub17wymzsllah3rrpz47nl3mwqgppzl6ram0k6k6y23kksn9het35asz4m6h8 Adam Lein @nprofile…te5v Some of those servers may not work anymore so obviously test to find one that works well in your country. Or it's relatively easy to make your own video chat instance with these instructions: https://jitsi.github.io/handbook/docs/category/deployment npub17wymzsllah3rrpz47nl3mwqgppzl6ram0k6k6y23kksn9het35asz4m6h8 Adam Lein @nprofile…te5v @nprofile…g4yp In Settings>Advanced>Video Chat Instance > Enter one of these servers: https://github.com/tosterkamp/random-redirect/blob/develop/res/jitsi_servers.lst ....with this at the end of the URL: "$ROOM#config.prejoinPageEnabled=false" Or if you want to start the call with audio only (no video), add "$ROOM#config.prejoinPageEnabled=false&#config.startWithVideoMuted=true" npub17wymzsllah3rrpz47nl3mwqgppzl6ram0k6k6y23kksn9het35asz4m6h8 Adam Lein @nprofile…g4yp @nprofile…te5v Yeah, I know... the audio/video call requests should activate a special incoming call interface and better Jitsi integration. It takes too many clicks right now, but I imagine if you stand up your own server in whatever country, it will work. There's a switch you can send to the Jitsi server to bypass having to enter a name to start the call too. npub17wymzsllah3rrpz47nl3mwqgppzl6ram0k6k6y23kksn9het35asz4m6h8 Adam Lein @nprofile…te5v Do the Jitsi Meet servers that you can add in the Video call settings not work either? npub17wymzsllah3rrpz47nl3mwqgppzl6ram0k6k6y23kksn9het35asz4m6h8 Adam Lein Watching the entire end credits of "Indiana Jones and the Great Circle" in order to listen to that amazing music! #Gaming npub17wymzsllah3rrpz47nl3mwqgppzl6ram0k6k6y23kksn9het35asz4m6h8 Adam Lein @nprofile…g4yp Spike did have encryption last time I checked, but I haven't used it in a while, too. It might have only been between Spike users. They're not Gmail-only anymore and also offer email hosting for people who just want to point the domain MX record to them. I know the owner and lead developer if you want me to introduce. They had helped a bit with COI-dev at one point too. npub17wymzsllah3rrpz47nl3mwqgppzl6ram0k6k6y23kksn9het35asz4m6h8 Adam Lein @nprofile…g4yp @nprofile…zkfh I'm still learning though, so I apologize for when I don't understand something. npub17wymzsllah3rrpz47nl3mwqgppzl6ram0k6k6y23kksn9het35asz4m6h8 Adam Lein @nprofile…zkfh A proprietary competitor to @nprofile…g4yp does group messages with list servers just like this and formats them as instant messages: https://www.spikenow.com/features/team-collaboration/ I don't know how they handle encryption within groups though, if at all. npub17wymzsllah3rrpz47nl3mwqgppzl6ram0k6k6y23kksn9het35asz4m6h8 Adam Lein @nprofile…zkfh Oh ok. npub17wymzsllah3rrpz47nl3mwqgppzl6ram0k6k6y23kksn9het35asz4m6h8 Adam Lein @nprofile…zkfh @nprofile…g4yp Yes, list servers use email. npub17wymzsllah3rrpz47nl3mwqgppzl6ram0k6k6y23kksn9het35asz4m6h8 Adam Lein @nprofile…zkfh Can we encrypt from Adam to [email protected] with one set of keys and then from [email protected] to Tokudan with another set of keys? npub17wymzsllah3rrpz47nl3mwqgppzl6ram0k6k6y23kksn9het35asz4m6h8 Adam Lein @nprofile…zkfh No, I'm talking about list servers. The way those work is you subscribe to [email protected] . Maybe an admin approves you or maybe it's instant. Then any subscriber on the list for that address can email that address and it will resend that message to all other subscribers from [email protected] . It CAN hide the address of each sender if you configure it that way. Then the entire conversation appears peer to peer, but it's going through one forwarder. npub17wymzsllah3rrpz47nl3mwqgppzl6ram0k6k6y23kksn9het35asz4m6h8 Adam Lein @nprofile…zkfh What do you mean? You don't want one group message owner knowing about everyone on the list? Isn't that better than everyone knowing about everyone on the list? npub17wymzsllah3rrpz47nl3mwqgppzl6ram0k6k6y23kksn9het35asz4m6h8 Adam Lein @nprofile…zkfh @nprofile…g4yp If public groups were really email Listservers like we've had for 30 years, the listserver address could be the only thing that knows your personal address as it would be syndicating your messages to the other subscribers under the listserver's email address. That method would also mean only having to encrypt between one address for each response. npub17wymzsllah3rrpz47nl3mwqgppzl6ram0k6k6y23kksn9het35asz4m6h8 Adam Lein People really need to stop using SMS/RCS messaging all together. ATT's SMS bridge is being shut down. https://www.att.com/support/article/wireless/KM1061254/ npub17wymzsllah3rrpz47nl3mwqgppzl6ram0k6k6y23kksn9het35asz4m6h8 Adam Lein Everyone's complaining about Nintendo Switch 2 games costing 80 dollars and I'm here buying Mafia 3 Definitive Edition for my Legion Go for 80 cents. https://gg.deals/game/mafia-iii/ #Gaming npub17wymzsllah3rrpz47nl3mwqgppzl6ram0k6k6y23kksn9het35asz4m6h8 Adam Lein I hope Andor season 2 does not have any Jedi or light sabers in it. I love how season 1 and Rogue One are more like war movies without magical space wizards. npub17wymzsllah3rrpz47nl3mwqgppzl6ram0k6k6y23kksn9het35asz4m6h8 Adam Lein @nprofile…2wc8 If it was open source we'd be able to see the source code for the "spam-filter @ e73138e" folder in https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Server - That's closed source. npub17wymzsllah3rrpz47nl3mwqgppzl6ram0k6k6y23kksn9het35asz4m6h8 Adam Lein Looks like another Windows Update this week... now I have to uninstall MS Teams on everything again! npub17wymzsllah3rrpz47nl3mwqgppzl6ram0k6k6y23kksn9het35asz4m6h8 Adam Lein @nprofile…wmtj Oooh! That's way smaller than my current Debian microserver NAS with 4x3.5" drives. npub17wymzsllah3rrpz47nl3mwqgppzl6ram0k6k6y23kksn9het35asz4m6h8 Adam Lein @nprofile…pvpy @nprofile…3ph2 That’s what I was going to say. They specifically removed standards compliance. Facebook messenger also used to have an email bridge so it worked with the biggest open messaging standard ever; SMTP! Also removed of course. npub17wymzsllah3rrpz47nl3mwqgppzl6ram0k6k6y23kksn9het35asz4m6h8 Adam Lein @nprofile…e0vp Haha!

Signal doesn't deserve much trust since it's centralized, depends on phone numbers, can't be self-hosted, and the server isn't even open source anymore. npub17wymzsllah3rrpz47nl3mwqgppzl6ram0k6k6y23kksn9het35asz4m6h8 Adam Lein @nprofile…85e3 @nprofile…x3tn I was going to say, "not in mine" since the "invite" command only sends a generic URL & the "new chat" only allows searching by phone number or username, but now I see the QR code scan button hidden in the username search. npub17wymzsllah3rrpz47nl3mwqgppzl6ram0k6k6y23kksn9het35asz4m6h8 Adam Lein @nprofile…x3tn Smarter still would be to use something that uses in-person QR code key sharing in order to join conversations... like Delta Chat, SimpleX, and Briar. Nothing confirms someone's identity better than the real world, right? Those are decentralized and actually open source, too. npub17wymzsllah3rrpz47nl3mwqgppzl6ram0k6k6y23kksn9het35asz4m6h8 Adam Lein Google making a knowledge panel about you is way better than a blue checkmark on Twitter or Instagram. ;) npub17wymzsllah3rrpz47nl3mwqgppzl6ram0k6k6y23kksn9het35asz4m6h8 Adam Lein Alright, $0.72 for Mafia 2 Definitive Edition PC sounds like a good deal. #Gaming #PCMasterRace https://gg.deals/game/mafia-ii-definitive-edition/ npub17wymzsllah3rrpz47nl3mwqgppzl6ram0k6k6y23kksn9het35asz4m6h8 Adam Lein Remember how cool Geocities was? https://cybercultural.com/p/geocities-1995/ npub17wymzsllah3rrpz47nl3mwqgppzl6ram0k6k6y23kksn9het35asz4m6h8 Adam Lein @nprofile…f7u3 I searched for my own Fediverse address "[email protected] " and other things that don't include that show up. npub17wymzsllah3rrpz47nl3mwqgppzl6ram0k6k6y23kksn9het35asz4m6h8 Adam Lein @nprofile…f7u3 Cool, but it doesn't seem to load things that have any relation to the search terms. npub17wymzsllah3rrpz47nl3mwqgppzl6ram0k6k6y23kksn9het35asz4m6h8 Adam Lein Updated my "Stop being naive" article with Skype's shut down announcement. https://bookofadamz.com/stop-being-naive-when-it-comes-to-things-like-whatsapp-telegram-signal-etc/ npub17wymzsllah3rrpz47nl3mwqgppzl6ram0k6k6y23kksn9het35asz4m6h8 Adam Lein Having Photoshop for graphic design on a phone was pretty cool 20 years ago. https://youtu.be/se1B5iRgMyA?si=XSN2cwZ6H6yOP866 npub17wymzsllah3rrpz47nl3mwqgppzl6ram0k6k6y23kksn9het35asz4m6h8 Adam Lein Is there anything stopping the Signal Technology Foundation from "pulling a Mozilla"? npub17wymzsllah3rrpz47nl3mwqgppzl6ram0k6k6y23kksn9het35asz4m6h8 Adam Lein For the people who think GIF should be pronounced with a hard G... how do you pronounce the DOGE acronym? npub17wymzsllah3rrpz47nl3mwqgppzl6ram0k6k6y23kksn9het35asz4m6h8 Adam Lein Ha!

So I think the modern security things are good to have. I still have to learn how to update my TLS key exchange parameters to a newer/better method. npub17wymzsllah3rrpz47nl3mwqgppzl6ram0k6k6y23kksn9het35asz4m6h8 Adam Lein @nprofile…nlst Forgot having a server, too! Recommending DDNS is crazy. Forgot DMARC, DNSSEC, DANE, CAA, TLSA, TLS, disabling insecure TLS versions, registering the IP with Microsoft, Google, & Yahoo for delivery to those servers, warming the IP address, etc. npub17wymzsllah3rrpz47nl3mwqgppzl6ram0k6k6y23kksn9het35asz4m6h8 Adam Lein I think I'm ok with calling it "Gulf of America" because that makes it part of all 35 countries in the 2 North and South American continents.

I can't seem to tell from the pictures. I told them when previewing the Legion Go in 2023 that they should try SteamOS on it. :) npub17wymzsllah3rrpz47nl3mwqgppzl6ram0k6k6y23kksn9het35asz4m6h8 Adam Lein @nprofile…2uaj The first time I heard it was on "The Wonder Years" TV show in the 1980's.

It's centralized and went closed-source in 2021 (See the "spam-filter @ c9a4cb2" module on https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Server). Any of the federated open-source standards-based messaging systems would be more sustainable in the long run. npub17wymzsllah3rrpz47nl3mwqgppzl6ram0k6k6y23kksn9het35asz4m6h8 Adam Lein If/When Tesla goes bankrupt and the servers are shut down, will all the existing Telsa cars even still work? npub17wymzsllah3rrpz47nl3mwqgppzl6ram0k6k6y23kksn9het35asz4m6h8 Adam Lein We had some really futuristic stuff 12 years ago!

Someone else got the phone number and is now using my Signal account.
