  • Anybody using Signal for secure messaging is misguided. Any one of your recipients could be using the desktop app and there’s no way to know unless they tell you.

    That’s why I only communicate face-to-face inside of a soundproofed faraday cage.

    If the app manages the keys, then you can’t trust the app.

    If the recipient manages their own keys, then you can’t trust the recipient.

    Encryption is fundamentally insecure. Once I encrypt something, nobody should be able to decrypt it ever again.








  • I brought a 3-inch credit card blade (acquired at a trade show, with some tech company logo on it) through the airport four consecutive times without even realizing it.

    I found it while packing for another trip, and I decided to gut my overly-thick wallet and realized that I’d been carrying it around everywhere, including through courtrooms and other government buildings that X-ray everything I bring every time I pass through as a contractor.

    So yeah, a knife inside my wallet went through about 50 X-ray machines at federal facilities completely undetected, and I unknowingly carried it through all sorts of places where it is extremely illegal to have a knife. They always scolded me though if I tried to bring anything made of glass, like a coke bottle or something, because it could be used as a weapon.

  • I am not saying that she deserves to be in danger, but if you’re going to donate money to her, please remember that she is a registered Republican and she’s even run for a Senate seat as an ® in Louisiana back in 2009, so make certain that she’s worth your money over other causes you could be giving to right now. Just because she’s against Trump doesn’t mean she’s on our side.

    At best she’s a grifter. Being a porn star and a Republican Senate candidate in 2009 is a bold move, and sleeping with Donald Trump is pretty nasty.

    Pivoting strait to “For the Love of DILFs” just felt like a cheap cash grab, but also follows the pattern of a grifter using reality TV to make fast cash, and an LGBT-friendly dating show immediately after scoring points on the left for humiliating Trump just screams grift to me…





  • They like people like Lenin and Stalin.

    It’s a wakeup call for a lot of young people when they start to recognize the absurdity of anti-communist propaganda, but a lot of kids swing too far the other direction and figure all the bad things they’ve ever heard about history’s worst communist leaders are lies.

    It doesn’t mean that Communism is uniquely bad, but these men were violent tyrants who don’t share values with most mainstream western leftists today.

    Some never grow up and say dumb shit like that radical gender expression was common in the USSR or something…
