  @chatcontrol@mastodon.social please stop siccing the people on the meps and sicc them onto the ministers of the countries, the memberstate governments are the ones that are making this decision, not the meps. permanent representation is okish, though.

  #Applied #cryptography cannot solve a #security problem. It can only convert a security problem into a key-management problem. Corollary: If you aren’t actually solving the key-management problem, your cryptography is strictly decorative. This is not only not helpful, it is actively harmful, because it gives users a false sense of security, leading them to skip other precautions they would have otherwise taken. src: https://www.dlp.rip/decorative-cryptography

  wtf does everytime a new v of #python is rolled out in linux distros, all virtual envs break, and i do have to rebuild them manually. we're now 13 minor versions since py v2.7 and everything became worse since then. i have a stable app, and if python would not fuck up this i would not have to touch it in a decade, but because of this, i feel like i'm in the java ecosystem where work is generated just to generate income for java architects.... fuck this.

  so whatever happens tomorrow (i think it is given), what we saw over the last weeks in #hungary is a masterpiece. this is how you orchestrate the #controlled collapse of a #regime - unlike the 'mericuns - and have a plan for what happens after. #orban wants to retire and be in control #succession, e.g.: 1. domestic spies vs IT admins of #magyars party 2. Foreign Policy Minister reporting to Lavrov 3. getting Vance's endorsement same as Jeltsin -> Putin, and Kadar -&gt...

  i don't share any of the enthusiasm. it is just replacing one old rightwing asshole, with a younger rightwing asshole. unless there is wide and thorough anti-corruption investigations, convictions and large nationalization of stolen public funds, #orban wins... he retires and enjoys the spoils of stealing for decades. #hungary

  @drwhax you might know, hypothetically i'm an activist/journo who has an increased chance of being candiru'd or paragon'd, is there anywhere a good intro/howto/guideline how to defend, detect, report and recover from such attacks?
