Introduce randommess in keypress timings
by rysiek 06 Oct '15

06 Oct '15

Hi all, so, as we all know, Big Brothers tend to use keypress timings to identify users on the Net. This of course leads to a question: are there ways to introduce randomness in keypress timings? I imagine a Linux kernel module that could be doing this, for instance. Anybody heard of anything like this? There are things like All is Text: https://addons.mozilla.org/pl/firefox/addon/its-all-text/ But this is not really a solution, rather a work-around (for instance it does not solve the problem for multiple browsers). -- Pozdrawiam, Michał "rysiek" Woźniak Zmieniam klucz GPG :: http://rys.io/pl/147 GPG Key Transition :: http://rys.io/en/147

pass vs keyringer
by rysiek 06 Oct '15

06 Oct '15

OHAI, so, I came across these two: https://keyringer.pw/ http://www.passwordstore.org/ They basically do the same (a GPG-encrypted, git-managed password/secret store), and I need to pick one and standardize. Anybody uses any of these? Pros? Cons? From a comparison page: https://wiki.koumbit.net/PasswordManagementService/SoftwareComparison#passw… ...it seems keyringer might be the winner, but I am probably missing something. -- Pozdrawiam, Michał "rysiek" Woźniak Zmieniam klucz GPG :: http://rys.io/pl/147 GPG Key Transition :: http://rys.io/en/147

and they host all the juicy bits on documents on documentcloud, requiring anyone interested to expose themselves. it is not possible to download the dumps anonymously in a simple zip file, you really have to use goddamn javascript. this is totally unacceptable. when approached on this, you get very irritated answers, if at all. to say "this stinks" is an understatement. it's a goddamn trap. -- otr fp: https://www.ctrlc.hu/~stef/otr.txt

popcorn time - Russia now supporting Iraq too - US on the Ropes: China to Join Russian Military In Syria?
by Zenaan Harkness 04 Oct '15

I would have thought this too funny to be real, but seems it is: http://russia-insider.com/en/politics/us-ropes-china-join-russian-military-… "Meanwhile, it now looks as though the very same Russian-Iran “nexus” that's playing spoiler in Syria is also set to take over the fight against ISIS in Iraq, as Baghdad has now struck a deal to officially share intelligence with Moscow and Tehran. Here's CNN:" No wonder Obama and the wannabe POTUS Putin-haters seem a little off base at the moment .. Putin just took their NWO plate with a stereotypically Russian "thank you kindly, you have a nice day now." Damn. Zenaan
