#UK drops 'spy clause' for scanning #encrypted messages, admits it's not 'feasible'
But don't celebrate yet ... it has simply kicked online safety can down the road, Westminster style
Matthew Hodgson, CEO of Element, said: "The government saying 'no scanning until it's technically feasible' is nonsense. Scanning is fundamentally incompatible with end-to-end encrypted messaging apps. Scanning bypasses the #encryption in order to scan, exposing your messages to attackers."

Degrade in some manner, the #encrypted icon for #HTTPS, and warn the user when entering sensitive data to a website, when a site is #reverseProxied or served by "#gatekeepers" (and #CloudGlare must be included as a gatekeeper).
The first three browsers to implement are rewarded €8,000. The best example after in 6 months should receive €30,000.

For those #nerdy / #techie types out there, I wanted to share my public #GPG key so you can send me #encrypted email that will stay nice and #private

hey, you there.
stop using #tabs and your #browser #history to save #links. i shouldn't have to explain why, but i will. you're gonna lose those tabs when your browser crashes (WHEN.). browser history should be cleared often. don't depend on that.
#bookmark that shit. and don't use your browser's native #sync either. use https://www.xbrowsersync.org/. it's #encrypted and #anonymous. thank me later.

Hi! how’s everyone’s experience with #protonmail? I’m giving it a shot right now (paying $5 this month), so far so good.
Dealt with a major #iOS bug that i seem to have found a work around for, and getting used to the proprietary email thing.

Speaking of #encryption/ #encrypted filesystems, I use the following: #cryfs #encfs (less secure, only when I have to) #cryptomator #veracrypt .
#cryptomator has cross-platfotm support, including #android (paid) and #windows (used at work).
However, it crashes handling bare git repositories for my #obsidian git upstream, so I can only use it for low traffic/file encryption.
I really like cryfs - great performance on #linux for my needs. No good UI though... 1/2...
#encryption #encrypted #cryfs #encfs #cryptomator #veracrypt #android #windows #obsidian #linux
@ricardoramos @Whar I forgot to mention the obsidian-git plugin - it provides seamless #git integration for #obsidian , including git #submodules if you use them.
Depending on how sensitive my vault is, I use GitHub, or a #cryfs #encrypted file based repository on #cloudstorage such as Dropbox.

Not bad write speeds for an external USB-C (10Gbps) NVMe drive and #Cryptomator #encrypted storage
Is #VeraCrypt the tool of choice for #CrossPlatform #encrypted storage options these days?

Note: #WashingtonPost #articles are #free this week.
#Proton is well-respected company that provides some of the most #secure products available, including #encrypted #email options and #VPN.
I've considered moving from #Gmail for a while, and just this week downgraded my Proton #Visionary account to free (for now) because I've taken so long to decide.
Maybe now is the time, especially since it's easy to use both, seamlessly.

According to this, my ENT physician is going to send me reminders #encrypted via #smime or #pgp. I have so many questions...
@stevegrunwell @_L1vY_ that only works since #APCO / #P25 isn't encrypted...
So it completely falls flat with #TETRA and any other #encrypted police radio...
