@cwebber precisely that!

A #shitposting - Program is anything but #reproduceable and I want #ReproduceableBuilds for #auditability, #security and #transparency.

• That's the whole reason I do @OS1337: To have something so fundamentally simple and compact that it is (at least in theory - at some point) financially feasible to crowdfund complete code audits of the entire system.
  • I don't want people to trust me blindly, but to earn trust in the few things I code.

That's why I treat any "#AI" / #AIslop the same way @dolphin treat any leaks from Nintendo:

• I'm not even gonna look at it!

@bschorr @thunderbird yeah, that's something that only works in systems that allow you to do that which isn't even desireable in most cases - and in some juristictions like #Germany it would not even be legal due to #Auditability requirements per law.

@TheQuinbox nodds in agreement to me "#AI" coding ruins the #readability, #maintainability and #auditability of the #sourcecode, and I do require this.

• Espechally for @OS1337!

@jameskoole #Germany in fact #banned #VotingMachines because they violate #transparency and #auditability demands as in 'everyone who is eligible to vote must be able to verify the election procedures from start to finish without relying on external help or trusting anyone'…

• It's good #Canada did the same.

@virtuous_sloth @TheBreadmonkey I do agree on the fact that #auditability and #transparency is important!

• I'll gladly migrate to a better option if there is one!

@nitrokey #NOICE!

After all, I'm a strong opponent of #blackbox|es in terms of #ITsec and #Encryption and I do think that #transparency is necessary for real #auditability.

• Everything else is just #TrustMeBro-level of #security and I don't like that...

@methuselah @froge precisely...

• Same with like #IRC: They run even on really old systems barely siphoning resources...

To me #Matrix feels really undercooked and half-baked compared even to shitshows like #Slack and #Discord...

• Whereas #Zulip has proven itself as a good solution, which I'd rather shive behind a #VPN to add #security since for #organization-based #chat infrastructure, one may have to face strict #logging and #auditability requirements (Don't let me get started on #GoBD)...
  

OFC there is no "one solution fits all" because there are conflicting requirements for different use-cases...

• And my recommendations are based off given data like said requirements: Proper #E2EE with self-custody of keys as well as per-session individual, non-persistent keys is inherently incompatible with mandatory #archival requirements in #businesses...

@rayglittersoft I mean, don't take every word of him at face value - he has some nuts loose...

Personally, I don't think #Bitcoin or #Ethereum have a longterm future cuz they've got a very finite amount of coins and that makes them fall on their faces once the last has been mined.

Needless to say that every big purchase may fall under KYC & AML and thus face the same scrutiny.

Fortunately, #Monero does allow such #transparency and #auditability whereever needed or desired (aka. #ViewKey) and the rest is just complying with #accounting and #bookkeeping standards as relevant...

@Yuki @BrodieOnLinux As shit as RMS his, he's sadly right.

Needless to say, @cperciva will pretty much remind people that "#SourceAvailable" is NOT #OpenSource and that #Tarsnap's #SourceCode is merely made available for #security and #auditability reasons as well as enabling people to build it for their (potentially weird) machine...

@esm I digress:

There are many good #XMPP-Clients like #Profanity (#CLI), #monoclesChat (#Android) and #Gajim (#Desktop-#GUI)...

And in terms of #Organizations that require #Auditability, the only good option I found is #Zulip, which has excellent #Clients for #Desktop and #Terminal as well - tho sadly the latter one is written in #Python and not like a static binary...

#cybersecurity community, need suggestions :eyes_happy:​

At work there are some generic emails like general@company.com, billing@company.com and so on,
This are all on #Google #Gsuite

All have secure passwords and #twofactorauthentication shared via #bitwarden with people that use them

I still don't like the idea of multiple people accessing the account and reducing the #auditability of who did what, for inbound email I can setup forwarding rules, but for them to send out email they still need to access the actual account, any better way to do it then this?

This individual vote verification tool for ongoing parliamentary elections in Estonia with its e-voting found its way into my digital democracy toolbox. We basically have individual verification for 30 minutes after submitting the ballot, but this tool lets you download the cryptogram, decrypt it and keep it for memory or later use. https://github.com/infoaed/kryptogramm #evoting #verification #auditability #rk2023
