Telegram is indistinguishable from an FSB honeypot in c/privacy@lemmy.ml

I can't say I read the whole thing because the technical analysis went over my head, but I don't think we read the same conclusion

Conclusions

Based on the analysis of packet captures above, I believe it is clear that anyone who has sufficient visibility into Telegram’s traffic would be able to identify and track traffic of specific user devices. Including when perfect forward secrecy protocol feature is in use.

This would also allow, through some additional analysis based on timing and packet sizes, to potentially identify who is communicating with whom using Telegram.

It seems like the developer might do that, but I imagine we can't have any guarantees from a free and ad-free app that aren't given

It seems like the reason that cheats were removed is because of public leaderboards

Play Store 3D Pinball Space Cadet Download

From the article:

If you grew up in the Windows XP era, than you probably spent hours playing its iconic free game, “3D Pinball Space Cadet.” Now, “Space Cadet” pinball has been ported to Android, and it’s completely free.

One of the many things that Windows XP will be remembered for is the pinball game that essentially everyone who ever used the operating system played at some point or another. The game has been immortalized many times, and now it’s available on Android.

Developer Kyle Sylvertre used a decompiled version of Space Cadet Pinball from k4zmu2a on GitHub to bring the game to the Google Play Store for Android users. The game is optimized for touchscreens with the left and right sides of the display acting as the triggers, and you can also tap the far right side to use the ball launcher. The game runs in portrait mode, supports 18 languages, integrates with Google Play Games for a leaderboard, and is less than 5MB in size.

And it’s all completely free too.

There are no ads or in-app purchases here, as the developer “just wanted to see it on Android with a Google Play leaderboard.” On that note, cheats are disabled to keep the integrity of that leaderboard, but the developer hints that cheats might come back with an option to turn off the leaderboard.

In any case, it’s a nice hit of nostalgia. Drop your high score in the comments below.

Wired’s Attack on Privacy in c/technology@lemmy.world
[–] dewittlebook@lemdro.id 10 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I think we can agree that Nazi's are not something we want to assocuate with. Help me understand, what would you do? How would you limit the service to prioritize[s] privacy in order to protect human rights defenders, journalists, and everyday users who value their privacy but then also filter out Nazi's? How would this be different from TOR?

"Made up of" -> the non profit consists of software that must be free and open source..?

What the electric car transition really means for autoworkers in c/technology@lemmy.world

This is the response I wanted to see but since people seem to hate watching videos (from creators they don't know), iirc the tldw; balancing bulbs coming to full power immediately (as opposed to gradual warm up) and brightness with life span. The 100 year light bulb is cool, but not ideal for actually lighting a room

Docker & Reverse Proxies (kbin.social)

Mooching off this other post

Primary question: What do people do for their reverse proxies (and associated ACME clients)? Do you have a single unified one? Or do you use separate proxies for each stack? Or some mess in between?

My use case question: For example, I have a (mess that is a) Nextcloud instance with a separate stack with nginx and ACME, a SearXng that wants to run caddy (but has shoved into the nginx).

But now I have a Lemmy docker that has a custom(?) nginx instance, should I just port it to my existing nginx or run them side by side?
