Illinois School Password Controversy, What the Mainstream News Is Getting Wrong
by Polity News 24 Jan '15

24 Jan '15

There are a lot of news stories about the law which allows Illinois schools to demand students' passwords. Many of the stories incorrectly implicate a new anti-cyberbullying law. The law which allows schools to demand student passwords is a different law that was passed in 2013. http://piratetimes.net/exclusive-illinois-law-allows-schools-to-spy-on-stud…

Two days ago, I downloaded it despite the browser warning the certificate was not valid: "ngrok.com:61924 uses an invalid security certificate. The certificate is not trusted because it is self-signed. The certificate is only valid for isadora-amd64 (Error code: sec_error_unknown_issuer)" I installed TextSecure on my Droid 3 which does have a cellular account. TextSecure works if airplane mode is not on. Turning airplane mode on and wifi on, TextSecure does not work. Yet, description of TextSecure is that it works over wifi, data and/or SMS. I installed TextSecure on my Motorola droid 4. I use Droid 4 as a PDA. No cellular account. How can I get TextSecure to work over wifi? Thanks. Badbiosvictim, formerly bluelotus

peerio.com
by Cathal Garvey 20 Jan '15

Just landed beta: open source, minilock-based crypto, really nice design. Server side storage of end-to-end encrypted files and messages, 1.3Gb of storage for free. No ads. https://peerio.com I expect that the "product" will end up being "storage space", which is fine by me! Right now the server code isn't open, though the protocol (and therefore API) is very well documented in the git source: https://github.com/PeerioTechnologies/peerio-client Expect to see it banned in the UK soon. :)
