> It is on the client, and on the server based on headers. The idea of spam filters is that you don’t get the spam so the client never sees it. Also running highly specialized spam filters that actually work reliably might be prohibitive

There are local LLMs but my understand is they are not as good.

Yeah. An oppressive government will for sure take your excuse of “I was just learning math on PornHub”.

I wouldn’t be breaking the law under a repressive government without at least a VPN in the middle. DNS queries still leak the domain unless the client is using DoH.

This is strictly not a backup. A backup should allow you to recover from total system failure. If your hard drive suddenly fails then neither of the options you mentioned would help.

I’ve always thought that this implies that somewhere in Amazon’s systems there is an API that serves pictures of dogs. And I just like knowing that.

dotfiles live in your home directory almost exclusively. Literally there’s no tooling I know of that will drop random hidden files. The ext4 filesystem does have a special hidden directory for data partially recovered/corrupted

If this was a state-actor (which it definitely looks like it) then what validation are you going to do? They can probably manufacture legitimate papers for anything. Driver’s license, SSN, national ID, passport, etc. If the government is in

Alcohol is extremely addictive and once you are addicted it can cause such strong dependence that people can _die_ from quitting cold turkey.

Presumably sshd itself used to lock down its own capabilities after a certain point of execution. Removing the landlock means the daemon doesn’t lock itself down and will allow for better payload execution when they get to the exploitation

It fails that small build that is testing for landlock functionality. Hence it doesn’t build the support for it. It doesn’t fail the overall build.

The gmail sign up page had a counter that continuously went up showing the number of bytes available for your mailbox. It was glorious. I remember getting an invite for the beta from a random online forum.

No, a line is defined as a sequence of characters (bytes?) with a line terminator at the end. Technically as per posix a file as you describe is actually a binary file without any lines. Basically just random binary data that happens to kin

Technically the “newline” character is actually a line _terminator_. Hence “A\n” is one line, not two. The “\n” is always at the end of a line by definition.

I mean no shade to ConcernedApe but shipping a product that you built yourself entirely does not really showcase “soft skills” tbh. If anything it showcases his hard skills because he did everything.

Structured json data that you mentioned does allow to “shuffle bytes” It doesn’t matter which order the client sends {“a”: 1, “b”: 2 }, it’s one object with “a” and “b” regardless

But in the client is the only time their code touches the actual unencrypted message data. Also a lot of the data you mentioned will also not be available if you don’t use their client, eg: if you use Signal client then Facebook won’t get y

There’s like 1000 reasons why the domain could be used. (For example you wouldn’t want 1M phones destroying a website because it became viral on WhatsApp, hence a caching layer is probably needed) I don’t work at Facebook on this specific s

You can use podman and skip that dance. Just install gen_init_cpio from a rootless container.

The preview sends a request to some server on a Facebook subdomain. I know because I was sniffing traffic on my phone without any Facebook app installed other than WhatsApp.

by akdev1l 3y ago
The WhatsApp client does give Meta a window of opportunity to get data from users. The data is otherwise E2E encrypted but when you see a link preview on WhatsApp Meta knows that.

You can use a public domain but a local/private DNS server
