05:05 πŸ”— murk pygithub is an interesting beast.
05:08 πŸ”— murk thought it felt too easy, look over and it's using gigabytes of memory to iterate a list.
05:22 πŸ”— * JesseW is reading over https://github.com/LibreSignal/LibreSignal/issues/37
05:25 πŸ”— JesseW I was very struck by (my understanding of) a comment of moxie's about how OWS's goal is to make mass surveillance *technically* infeasible, rather than other possible goals (e.g. making a tool resistant to targeted surveillance, or furthering the development of communication standards).
05:29 πŸ”— JesseW And I can see how making a single-source, closed development team product (which however, makes its code available, and encourages verification that it works the way it says it does) and aims to get massive adoption (by satisfying as many of the tastes, habits and preferences of the widest possible user base, even if those opinions have various other bad effects) -- could be a sensible way to achieve the goal (which again, was making mass surveillance
05:31 πŸ”— JesseW The point of releasing Signal's code under a FOSS license *wasn't* and *isn't* to participate in the wider FOSS ecosystem -- it was to participate in the far narrower *security verification* community, and using a common FOSS license was merely a convenience.
05:44 πŸ”— balrog has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 260 seconds)
05:53 πŸ”— joepie91 JesseW: my problem with that is twofold; 1) they have presented themselves as "open" in the past, which implies quite a bit more than that, and 2) opening themselves up to the 'security verification community' requires either reproducible builds (which, afaik, they do not have) or the ability to build and install your own version (which, afaik, you can't)
05:53 πŸ”— joepie91 as you cannot otherwise be certain that the binary you are using is identical to the code you're looking at, functionally
05:53 πŸ”— JesseW As I understood, they were actively working towards reproduciable builds?
05:53 πŸ”— joepie91 "actively working towards" is not enough
05:54 πŸ”— joepie91 another contradiction is in requiring google play services; this seems contradictory to "making mass surveillance technically infeasible" given that installing that on android requires you to bundle several other applications that could carry out precisely that mass surveillance
05:54 πŸ”— JesseW Not enough for confidence, certainly -- but enough to support my theory of what their goals are.
05:56 πŸ”— JesseW And regarding previous claims of additional "open"-ness -- moxie makes it clear that his views on what compromises of openness he needs to make to achieve his goal have changed -- that would certainly explain the difference from previous presentations.
05:57 πŸ”— joepie91 JesseW: I'm sure it does, but that does not take away that it's a bit of a stab in the back towards the very community that has supported his efforts
05:57 πŸ”— murk I'm not sure they can do reproducible iOS builds even if they wanted to.
05:57 πŸ”— joepie91 the fact that his reasons for avoiding openness are shaky at best, don't really help with that either
05:57 πŸ”— joepie91 for example, he gets the concepts of federation vs. open protocols mixed up
05:58 πŸ”— joepie91 and bases half their policy on that mixup
05:58 πŸ”— joepie91 I am not at all impressed with OWS'/moxies decisions, *even* in light of the goals you are sketching
05:58 πŸ”— JesseW As I (partially) understand, the use of Google Play Services (that doesn't abbreviate well) don't get into the crypto parts, so wouldn't be able to undermine them. Am I wrong about that?
05:59 πŸ”— JesseW murk: I'm not clear whether Signal even *works* on iOS or not. Do you know?
05:59 πŸ”— balrog has joined #archiveteam-bs
05:59 πŸ”— swebb sets mode: +o balrog
05:59 πŸ”— joepie91 JesseW: yes. the problem with Google Play Services is that you cannot legally ship them on an Android system without also bundling several other Google applications, due to Google's licensing scheme.
05:59 πŸ”— joepie91 those Google applications - especially given Google's tendency to collect all the data from everybody all the time - are a significant vector for surveillance.
05:59 πŸ”— joepie91 whether with assistance from Google or not.
06:00 πŸ”— joepie91 (there are antitrust investigations into the above licensing deal, btw, but that's how it is now)
06:00 πŸ”— joepie91 it isn't terribly relevant whether Play Services can affect the crypto because it opens up other vectors
06:01 πŸ”— JesseW OK, so we agree that the use of GoPlSr can't change whether the code distributed by OWS does or doesn't do what it is claimed to do, right?
06:01 πŸ”— joepie91 creative abbrevation there :)
06:02 πŸ”— joepie91 but yeah, that in and of itself sounds correct, as I understand it.
06:02 πŸ”— JesseW Rather, the problem is that installing the GoPlSr's makes the *whole device* more vulnerable to survilence than it was otherwise.
06:02 πŸ”— joepie91 correct
06:02 πŸ”— ranma https://twitter.com/nixcraft/status/741606457620062208
06:03 πŸ”— murk JesseW: it works.
06:03 πŸ”— JesseW I strongly suspect moxie's view is that, while that it is certainly deplorable, Signal avoiding the use of them isn't going to make much of a dent in how many devices have them installed (and *will* make a dent in how many people use Signal)
06:04 πŸ”— murk whatsapp using the signal protocol makes a bigger difference.
06:04 πŸ”— JesseW murk: ah, interesting -- and why are reproducible builds impossible there?
06:04 πŸ”— joepie91 JesseW: that's a questionable assertion
06:04 πŸ”— joepie91 and very geographically dependent
06:05 πŸ”— JesseW so that's another bit I'm confused by -- what's the interoperability situation between WhatsApp and Signal?
06:05 πŸ”— ranma tl;dr re: twitter: 7,618 out of approximately 383,000 emails (1.9%) were leaked by let's encrypt
06:05 πŸ”— joepie91 in Asian countries, for example, it is not *at all* a valid assumption that a mass market device will run Google Play Services
06:05 πŸ”— joepie91 JesseW: and even if that weren't the case, it ignores the network effect.
06:06 πŸ”— joepie91 JesseW: actively privacy-conscious people are unable to use Signal to talk to their social circles that might be using it, due to this requirement.
06:06 πŸ”— JesseW I also suspect moxie may not be aiming at an Asian userbase (or combating the mass survilence applied to them).
06:06 πŸ”— joepie91 something that could have easily been resolved by light-weight interoperability processes (eg. automated changelog mailing just before rollout) with the LibreSignal team
06:07 πŸ”— joepie91 in agreement that LibreSignal bugs are handled first and foremost by the LibreSignal team
06:07 πŸ”— joepie91 so that OWS never gets to deal with itr
06:07 πŸ”— joepie91 it*
06:07 πŸ”— joepie91 but instead, moxie throws gasoline over it and sets it on fire
06:07 πŸ”— joepie91 the entire assertion that the existence of LibreSignal will cause problems for OWS is just plain false
06:08 πŸ”— JesseW Let's switch over to the point you brought up about moxie getting "the concepts of federation vs. open protocols mixed up"
06:08 πŸ”— JesseW Can you expand on that?
06:08 πŸ”— joepie91 JesseW: he wrote an entire rant about how federation is dead because it's too hard to keep implementations in sync
06:08 πŸ”— JesseW yes, I read it
06:08 πŸ”— joepie91 but this is a problem of open protocols, not of federation specifically
06:08 πŸ”— joepie91 and specifically for federation there are solutions for that.
06:08 πŸ”— JesseW how do you federate without an open protocol?
06:09 πŸ”— joepie91 you don't, that is not what I am arguing.
06:09 πŸ”— joepie91 I'm arguing that he is pointing at federation as the cause when it isn't.
06:09 πŸ”— joepie91 ANY kind of open protocol will have these issues.
06:09 πŸ”— joepie91 that includes federation-less open protocols.
06:09 πŸ”— joepie91 the fact that he cannot accurately pinpoint the cause of the problem puts the rest of his arguments on shaky ground
06:10 πŸ”— joepie91 especially since it now demonizes the entire concept of federation in the public perception
06:10 πŸ”— joepie91 despite it being a decision that he made individually, specifically for Signal, in light of their goals
06:10 πŸ”— JesseW OK, but I thought he was arguing against open protocols, and merely pointing out that *because* open protocols can't change fast enough, *therefore* federation is a non-starter, *too*
06:10 πŸ”— joepie91 that's definitely not how I read it, nor anybody who I've talked to about it
06:10 πŸ”— joepie91 and the entire concept of federation has taken a good hit
06:11 πŸ”— joepie91 he has single-handedly fucked up a large part of what open-source communities have worked for over a decade on building up
06:11 πŸ”— JesseW Eh, I wouldn't be surprised if I read it in an unusual way, certainly.
06:11 πŸ”— JesseW Ha. I hardly think he was alone in that. People (including prominent FOSS people) have done such things before (and likely will again)
06:12 πŸ”— joepie91 JesseW: I have seen a distinct shift since this article came out.
06:14 πŸ”— JesseW ok, so what you meant by him mixing up "the concepts of federation vs. open protocols" was him claiming that *only* federation, rather than open protocols in general, evolve too slowly to compete against single-source products?
06:15 πŸ”— joepie91 JesseW: correct.
06:15 πŸ”— joepie91 (aside from that mixup, the entire assertion is also questionable to begin with)
06:15 πŸ”— joepie91 (given that basically the only baseline is XMPP and XMPP is *extremely* poorly designed)
06:15 πŸ”— joepie91 ... I need to sleep
06:16 πŸ”— JesseW OK, I won't keep you. Thanks for the discussion!
06:16 πŸ”— Eloquence has joined #archiveteam-bs
06:16 πŸ”— JesseW Hi Erik
06:16 πŸ”— joepie91 JesseW: perhaps continue later :) I have a bunch more thoughts on the topic and specifically why federated protocols have had trouble so far
06:16 πŸ”— JesseW I'd be interested to hear them, yes.
06:16 πŸ”— joepie91 as well as open protocols in general...
06:16 πŸ”— joepie91 anyhow, sleep
06:16 πŸ”— joepie91 for now
06:17 πŸ”— joepie91 night!
06:17 πŸ”— bwn gnite
06:17 πŸ”— JesseW g'night!
06:17 πŸ”— JesseW what timezone are you in, anyway?
06:17 πŸ”— joepie91 (Random Standard Time - my sleep pattern is irregular)
06:17 πŸ”— JesseW lol
06:18 πŸ”— joepie91 (seriously though, NL)
06:18 πŸ”— JesseW well, enjoy your current period of artificial night.

07:28 πŸ”— ranma i wonder if reddit could be backed up somehow, protecting comments as inane and stupid as they are
07:29 πŸ”— ranma with comments being indicated as being deleted
07:30 πŸ”— Atluxity what is this "protecting" you speak of?
07:30 πŸ”— ranma there was a mildly interesting post that i found out the OP's text post had been deleted after he'd axed his account: https://www.reddit.com/r/cscareerquestions/comments/4km3yc/finally_fired_after_6_years/
07:30 πŸ”— ranma mods delete posts
07:31 πŸ”— ranma in this case, occasionally (in the grand scheme of things) improperly
07:32 πŸ”— ranma per wapo, even posts mentioning how to donate blood were deleted
07:32 πŸ”— Atluxity you want to protect the comments from deletion?
07:33 πŸ”— Atluxity you use the word "protect" without context, it makes it hard to figure out what you want to protect FROM
07:33 πŸ”— Atluxity protect from viewing, from modification, from deletion?
07:33 πŸ”— ranma if it were an easy problem to fix
07:34 πŸ”— ranma protection from deletion
07:34 πŸ”— Atluxity ah, right
07:36 πŸ”— ranma i'm assuming there's a lot of noise to the post's signal

11:49 πŸ”— whydomain PurpleSym: did that list of Yahoo Groups you gave me months ago include private groups with messages that can only be archived if you are a member of that group?
11:50 πŸ”— PurpleSym whydomain: Quite a few.
11:50 πŸ”— whydomain Have you got a way of archiving these private groups?
11:51 πŸ”— PurpleSym 1483853 of 2752112 have public messages, according to my stats in the AT wiki.
11:51 πŸ”— PurpleSym I don’t.
11:51 πŸ”— whydomain Thanks. I may have found a way for some- I'll investigate
11:52 πŸ”— PurpleSym Last time I checked it required solving a captcha.
11:52 πŸ”— whydomain Oh, don't suppose you have that list of groups available (I've left it on a memory stick somewhere)
11:53 πŸ”— whydomain Captcha is not required if you sign up by email
11:53 πŸ”— PurpleSym Oh, I see. And that email is connected to your Yahoo! Account and therefore you are permitted access?
11:54 πŸ”— PurpleSym It’s still available at the old URL: https://6xq.net/paste/yg_list.txt.xz
11:54 πŸ”— whydomain It's connected in some weird way - that's what I'm still looking into
12:01 πŸ”— dashcloud has quit IRC (Read error: Operation timed out)
12:02 πŸ”— PurpleSym That wouldn’t be weird at all, imo.
12:04 πŸ”— whydomain I thinks it's OK if the group automatically allows new members to join and view messages immediately - it won't work if moderator approval is required, anyway
12:05 πŸ”— dashcloud has joined #archiveteam-bs
12:05 πŸ”— PurpleSym Let’s just buy Yahoo! Groups.
12:11 πŸ”— ErkDog loil
12:12 πŸ”— whydomain I wonder if the buyers of Yahoo will want Groups? News reports say Yahoo is selling its "core business" - I doubt that includes Groups
12:12 πŸ”— whydomain At any rate, Messenger didn't make the cut. Closure announced yesterday - for 'streamlining'
12:15 πŸ”— PurpleSym Groups’ best times have been in the early 2000’s. There doesn’t seem to be much β€œgrowth potential”, so it’s likely gonna get axed.

19:52 πŸ”— joepie91 :P
19:53 πŸ”— PurpleSym Not quite, I guess. But seriously: I wonder how much we’d have to offer for it.
19:54 πŸ”— joepie91 it'd be interesting to see what's cheaper - scraping it or just outright buying it
19:54 πŸ”— joepie91 lol
19:55 πŸ”— bwn i have three magic beans i'll pitch in..
19:55 πŸ”— joepie91 bwn: blue or red ones?
19:55 πŸ”— PurpleSym Yep, that’s exactly what I though, joepie91.
19:56 πŸ”— bwn which would you like? *gets colored markers*
19:56 πŸ”— joepie91 hahaha

19:59 πŸ”— JW_work1 Medowar: can you use it for IA.BAK?
20:03 πŸ”— Medowar JW_Work1: Yes, but that is more of a backup-Plan. I want to see, if there is any other more usefull way. I see IA.BAK more of a way to utilize empty disk space..
20:04 πŸ”— Medowar Also, any cheap and simple way to connect 8 Drives to a PC? Doesnt need to be high-speed. I currently have only a 2-Bay HDD Dock
20:05 πŸ”— JW_work1 SATA-to-USB, and a USB hub?
20:06 πŸ”— JW_work1 Medowar: well, considering that we have many many TB still to hand out, we can certainly use 20 more.
20:06 πŸ”— Medowar True that.
20:07 πŸ”— Medowar But some are WD Red Drives, that I want to use more actively. If only I knew a cheap colo provider in Germany
