Could you help our lonely 98-year-old WW2 vet neighbor regain access to his Yahoo email?

> helped to explode my family. > But he was only a soldier following the government's orders While all governments are obviously unnecessary self-interested and evil garbages, as to who is really quite more responsible for creating and supporting those governments, and for choosing to do the exploding, look inside... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SxKDgNBQNRI One must liberate one's mind before any liberation tech can ever hope to become to any good liberating use, and to any actually liberated end. Get a burner phone to unlock the mail. Obviously most of world has extreme asshole governments that won't let you do that without biometric ID, full location spying, dox, etc, etc. Because you know, Mr. 98 could be a SCARY pedo pimp drug terro trafik shooter mafia... And of course now that Yahoo is owned by Verizon, you all know you can just call up centralized legacy tech Ma Bell and pretext them into just resetting or handing it over, just as easy as SIM jacking.

[OT] [Music] "History Maker" - Dean Fujioka
by Cecilia Tanaka 23 Apr '20

23 Apr '20

This song was used in an anime opening, which I think it's pretty cute. The anime is "Yuri!!! on Ice" and the song, named "History Maker", is somehow related to us in a very sweet way. <3 <https://youtu.be/ORDXWrL5EuQ> And here are the lyrics in a cute version of "Sing Along" video: <https://youtu.be/lDyx06yywfc> I love you, History Makers! Be always happy and keep yourselves pretty well and safe, please! <3 Ceci <3 ---------- Loving. Caring. Sharing. Being Excellent To Each Other And To Our Hackerspace. <3 ---------- "Don't let anyone rob you of your imagination, your creativity, or your curiosity. It's your place in the world; it's your life. Go on and do all you can with it, and make it the life you want to live." - Mae Jemison

Video chat software / options
by Douglas Lucas 23 Apr '20

23 Apr '20

Hey cypherpunks, So what video chat options are there that are less privacy violating and social graphing than Zoom, Skype, etc, while still being at least somewhat available to the everyday user? Imagine two use cases: 1. Audiovideo chat between Alice and Bob: they want to watch an online movie together whether by sharing a screen or some other method, and then have sexy times later by same audiovideo chat. Imagine further that Bob uses Linux laptop and knows more or less what he's doing, while Alice uses Windows or Apple or her standard-issue smartphone or w/e and doesn't want to spend her little weekend time off paidwork trying to configure stuff to meet some faraway incel's expectation of flawless fantasy security. 2. A video panel or Q&A being hosted by your local friendly anarchist bookstore. Maybe it needs 3-5 people on a panel talking, their famous faces visible on the screen along with their audio while they debate each on internecine leftist conflicts that distract from far more rational propaganda of the deed, while the 20 people in the audience, including people of all sorts of demographics who have a hard enough time paying their bills online, have their audio and video forcibly off so there's not random beeps and bloops and toddler singing during the panel, but the audience could still type in Q&A questions or whatever. It would also be cool if there was a film screening option -- imagine an anarchist bookstore that prior to covid19 had been doing weekly film screenings offline in their brick and mortar location, but now wants to do something similar online, while making it hopefully accessible for people without intense computer skills. How are Signal and Wire for the above? My big picture understanding has for a long time been that, 1. perfect security is snake oil, the top spy agencies can crack anything if they want given enough time and targetting interest, but that's not typically relevant to the above use cases unless you're a Supreme Court justice or an incel fantasizing about being James Bond, 2. encryption makes data packet size much bigger, and large data size is already a problem with video in cleartext, so there never has been a really good solution to this problem. However #2 was my understanding as of like 5 years ago, so I'm curious if some new solution has come out. It looks like EFF is fairly useless and using Zoom themselves. I suppose if they're not gonna go after something meaningful, like how the corporate voting gear in the US is closed source, they have to spend that sweet Papa Omidyar cash and prestige somehow and produce little guides about how to toggle your Zoom settings. Afte https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2020/03/what-you-should-know-about-online-too… https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2020/03/cc-backgrounds-video-calls-eff https://ssd.eff.org/ Guides by Riseup Networks don't have much on video understandably https://riseup.net/en/security/resources https://riseup.net/en/security Prism Break mentions something called Jami I've never heard of https://prism-break.org/en/all/ And yeah, Signal and Wire...? I know everything is fucked but using something less bad for the use cases outlined above seems better than diving headfirst into whatever the worst popular solutions are. Thanks! Doug

Does anyone have experience with, or thoughts on, Kast and TwoSeven? For use cases of either a one to one video chat, small group video chat, or large group video chat. Are these mostly for just drunk people with masks on partying or could they be repurposed for more formal situations like a virtual panel with audience attendees etc?

"Verizon announced on April 16th, 2020, that it will be acquiring BlueJeans" Did you now forget Verizon the biggest Government Spy and Apologist next to AT&T literally giving away your and whole worlds call content, and CDRs, and internet traffics to spy and "enforcement" and liberation repression agencies. "Headquarters: San Jose, California, U.S." Did you read "Surveillance Valley by Yasha Levine", follow the Facebook, Youtube, Twitter, Reddit, Instagram, etc coordinated censorship regime coming from all these "headquarters" of corporates partner with Government to do the deeds. "cloud-based ... service" Spy platforms... Google, Microsoft, Amazon. "Periyannan was the CTO of Blue Coat Systems" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Coat_Systems#Use_by_repressive_regimes "Ramakrishnan was an entrepreneur-in-residence at Accel Partners" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accel_Partners Spies with Venture Capital... the dangerous combo. "Over the 2012 holiday season, BlueJeans partnered with the Military Association Benefits Group and Military Comm Networks to provide free video conferencing for U.S. soldiers and their families." Partners in order following copout, murder[ers], criminal States against liberation. BlueJeans... secure? HA joke on you. But hey it comes with proprietary "Dolby Voice" so it must be good right? Ever hear of free and other opensource audios library like... https://xiph.org/vorbis/ Did you also forget how Bitcoin-BTC got acquired by Blockstream, Lightning, FakeToshi-Nchain_Patent-Bitcoin_SV-BSV... yet you wonder why all of them still have zero encryption privacy in their transactions and protocols... no GovCorp influence surveillance there either right. Distributed opensource software volunteer developed peer to peer around the world does not need any such "acquirement"... in fact it should resist and fork away from it at all costs. Unless you are the one hiring them such that they are solely beholden to you, closedsource and companies must always be viewed as extremely suspect and sandboxed away from your liberations. They are not so beholden, and their GovCorp dollars and powers always corrupts. What does history say. Some of these commercial packages cost more a month than it would for you to run your own hub node on your own machine and line. Explore any of the opensource voice/video apps posted on the list first instead, use over your own encrypted channels. You want features, ease of use, open security audits, more HW/SW platforms, interoperability, some security privacy minded hub node hosting community, etc... Then send all the licensing and subscription money that you would otherwise have paid to those closed companies (including the cost of your loss of privacy and freedom the datamining metadata surveillance censorship selling you out advertising etc), to the opensource app dev teams, and build that, instead. Pick among the opensource, send them a monthly stipend, use it, you'll feel better contributing too.
