So Microsoft did something good? I thought they are too busy keeping my personal data in a prison and writing tight bash loops wasting 100 percent of a core

I've never had a twitter account so all these people hating durov for his exile marketing look weird to me. I'm not disagreeing with what you say but it's like a whole another subsection of world opened to me

You people are just racist towards Russians and need help.

> That doesn’t exclude the statements about Telegram to be correct though.

just attack the telegram from the technical standpoint, then no complains about "racist towards russians" will be given. Like, mentioning the lack of user-friendly E2EE is great already. Saying things like "Durov who supposedly lives in exile has visited Russia over 50 times" is meh. How can one intepret it in any other way is "Russia is evil and visiting Russia is thus evil"?

and regarding the cracking contests — one of the telegram bugs was actually uncovered this way, see https://habr.com/ru/articles/206900/

that's stupid. getent passwd will fetch the user list from the network depending on setup. Have fun fetching 40000 records from the network every call

come on guys, stop upvoting me and answer the question please

whoa, didn't expect a wall of text

When I said about "no mitigations except for the kernel updates" I meant exactly that. Some sysctl config to flip, some kernel module to unload. Apparently such thing doesn't exist in this one

Today they already analyze the SSL handshake and traffic patterns in Russia. And if your valid https traffic crosses the border but doesn't behave like https (I don't know how they do it. Frequency of TCP packets and their size and the delay between?) your IP-address will be blocked

I want to stress that I'm speaking from experience. I personally installed a telegram proxy project which aimed to mirror the pattern of traffic and fool the censors

new technology that is designed to balance interests on all sides and actually enforce the guarantees IN CODE AND PROTOCOLS.

They will just call your code illegal in law. And if you will run it anyway, use deep packet inspection to drop your protocol packets, like they do in Russia

That's cool and all but looks like we are running out of good countries

And if they all have censorship, they are not failing (when comparing them to each other)

It's hard to compare US and EU internet freedom because a person usually spends most of their life in one place and is clueless about the life in other.

I've never lived in US, were there any cases of ISPs blocking websites in USA? Even DNS-level blocking counts

it's all so tiresome

so no mitigation except for kernel updates?

how dangerous is the vulnerability in practice? How hard is to actually achieve the KVM escape?

Not all device files, only /dev/kvm. I assume the logic was "with /dev/kvm access the user can ...allocate memory and execute code, which they already can, so why not allow it?". Could also make rootless isolation easier

"lock-in factor"?

don't, like, invade their country

I did not invade any country

At least this app just displays the flags and not prints such accusations

this touches two pieces of my knowledge:

    - microsoft is evil, I cannot delete my github account, will never use anything by this company
    - if the attacker knows your *public* key they can enumerate the list of the servers you have access to https://github.com/benjojo/ssh-key-confirmer

wonder if anyone tried X over infiniband, latency would be so great

The ad companies I think would want the opposite

If they cannot distinguish real people from bots they can just charge more for more ads shown !

I would tell them to not give their children internet access at all until they think they are ready. Does it sound realistic? I don't know. From technical point of view certainly realistic, a child doesn't have money / devices of his own

I don't fully get you. Do you mean untrusted regex or untrusted data it operates on?

And to be honest, even if the regex is trusted (came from a developer) and the data as well (something predictable and structured) we are still not protected from the developer using extremely stupid regex and breaking everything

That's a real issue, took cloudflare down once...

They are willing to break some cloudflare-fronted websites. That's already a reality in Russia.

The government (any government) hates its citizens and the freedoms it had to allow them

Are you taking from the experience that this is not blockeable in Russia?

EDIT: I might be confusing vless/xray/reality but seems like there are no problems to block it based on ip reputation + tls fingerprint + amount of connections https://habr.com/ru/articles/1044396/

Of course this would block some valid websites but when has government cared about that

Like in Russia

    - drop wireguard / OpenVPN packets crossing the country border
    - analyze https traffic to detect traffic patterns not matching https fully and block such connections

How bad was it?

this website redirects me to casinos

I don't think people actually care about a sincere answer to "how are you doing", so replying with the prebaked line makes sense

How old are we talking?

sounds still more natural than windows made of brick or other non-transparent material!

feels like ai slop
