#MetaData
The Protesters' Guide to #Smartphone #Security
https://www.privacyguides.org/articles/2025/01/23/activists-guide-securing-your-smartphone/#scrub-photo-metadata
Very helpful tips for your own protection when you're protesting or even living in failed country like #USA, #Russia, #China, #Hungary, and so forth.
Furthermore, it's impressive how complex it is to protect you from your own #mobile #phone.
As a security pro and despite using #GrapheneOS, I'd rather leave the phone at home than to go through all the tips and still might overlook a thing. 😔
I'm feeling really old school. I'm installing #EasyTAG. So that I can tag the MP3s correctly. For playing on my cellphone. With my wired headphones. Kids these days have no idea how atrocious the tags the record companies use actually are.
Also why wasn't this album in #MusicBrainz?
Join our next Coffee Talk on metadata management! ☕️ Ivan Belyaev (Microverse Cluster, Jena) presents BEXIS2, a modular, FAIR-aligned platform for handling complex microbiology data.

So I wrote another blog for Knowledge Commons, this time on findability and the importance of tagging your open access deposits in KCWorks. Find it here:

#Signal is not secure!
The whole traffic goes over the clouds of Google, Amazon, Microsoft & Cloudflare.
So it lets collect your #Metadata like #WhatsApp + CloudAct = 👎

@Cappyjax IDGAF about "passion". All I care about is the security of users!
Requiring any #PII like a #PhoneNumber is inacceptable when it comes to #ComSec, #InfoSec & #OpSec, espechally given @signalapp is not only able but entirely willing to restrict service based off said numbers, making their "solution" insecure by design.
- There's a reason why #XMPP+#OMEMO and #PGP/MIME [both each over @torproject / #Tor] is the evidently superior and more secure approach, as being unable to "#KYC" a user is a matter of security...
Espechally since obtaining a phone number anonymously is oftentimes illegal (i.e. #Germany made it illegal starting 07/2017, so using any service that demands a phone numner is out of question)
- And even if one can get an anonymous #SIM (with a phone number) or god forbid #eSIM, (which is at best pseudonymous as tracking down users by virtue of matching ICCID, IMEI & IMSI to location and time) the chances are high that one ends up with recycled phone numbers that have already been used.
Obviously the devs of #Signal and @Mer__edith are well aware of this critical flaw, which is why I consider them to act as "useful idiots" or rather "controlled opposition" as #Signal could've been shutdown trivially by the #US Government or forced into banning users based off their #PhoneNumbers (they may call this "#sanctions #compliance" given they added a #Shitcoin - Wallet into Signal!)...
- All the "but #Metadata" #FUD turns into #MarketingLies once put under the looking glass and examined against the risk of state-sponsored / -endordsed / -supported attackers.
Whereas with @monocles / #monoclesChat, @gajim / #gajim and @delta / #deltaChat and @thunderbird / #Thunderbird respectably I can not only use Tor, but do #SelfHosting for the entire #communications infrastructure (i.e. using an #OnionService = only reachable via Tor) and get the advantages of a self-routing, self-authenticating & battle-hardened against censorship proxy network that can't be shutdown!
- And if you think this is too tinfoilhatted, then consider yourself privilegued enough of having your mere existance not being criminalized by the government under threat of public execution!

The alpm-pkginfo #crate in version 0.2.0 offers an easier interface for creating package info data from #PKGINFO files.
https://crates.io/crates/alpm-pkginfo/0.2.0
This #library and #CLI crate offers integration with the #PKGINFO #metadata files found in #ALPM based #package files. 📦
See the #changelog for details: https://alpm.archlinux.page/alpm-pkginfo/CHANGELOG.html#020---2025-06-16
The new #crate alpm-common offers common #traits and data types for other #ALPM crates. 📚 🦀
https://crates.io/crates/alpm-common/0.1.0
This allows a more streamlined experience across other libraries when it comes e.g. to the creation of #metadata files used in #packaging on #ArchLinux 📦
Excited to be part of two panels on #historicalgaps and #metadata with wonderful colleagues at the #NECS Conference in Lisbon this week (18-21 June):
🎞️ "Gaps, Possibilities, Vampirism: Feminist Interventions in Film and Media Historiographical Narratives”
📽️ “Uncovering Amateur Media Histories: Digital Approaches to Archival Collections”

🌖 為什麼我的撕裂光碟曲目名稱錯誤？還有為什麼少了一首曲子？
➤ CD ripping 的技術細節與metadata錯誤分析
✤ https://www.akpain.net/blog/inside-a-cd/
這篇文章探討了將CD轉錄為數位音檔時，可能遇到的曲目名稱錯誤和曲目遺失的問題。作者以自身經驗為例，分享了CD ripping的技術細節，以及如何透過MusicBrainz等開放式metadata資料庫來解決問題。問題的根源在於MusicBrainz資料庫中的錯誤資訊，以及CD本身資料的特殊性所導致的軌跡合併。
+ 沒想到CD ripping 竟然藏了這麼多技術細節，原來資料庫的正確性如此重要！
+ 瞭解了！以後要檢查轉錄出來的曲目資訊，確保沒有錯誤，不然聽音樂的心情都會被打亂。
