Swede’s Photographs

Good morning. 🦋🦋🦋

29 August 2024

August went fast didn't it, soon I will have completed yet another trip around the sun. To get around the sun every year we are real daredevils and race around at 67,100 mph (107,986 kph). Around and around, we go where we stop nobody knows, though I read somewhere the earth only has about a billion years left, before that starts and maybe 4-5 billion years before the moon abandons us and the sun explodes. Humankind ... well ... probably not that long. But we have a few days until then, let's make the best of it.

Over 60 billionaires have now publicly endorsed Trump, hosted a fundraiser for him, or contributed to Trump aligned PACs.

Why are they rallying behind him? Tax cuts, mostly. But there's more.

The more Trump tears down democracy, the safer the oligarchy becomes.

Be warned.

With Pavel Durov and Telegram Messenger in the news, I'm going to repost this. If you are a chud do not read this post, it will turn you into a gay, America-hating, communist. Just keep doing what you're doing — using Telegram. It's fine.

Brothers and sisters, friends of the Revolution, please do not use Telegram Messenger for any message that you would not want to see on the side of a building. Don't take my word for it, listen to these folks.

Here's Dan Goodin (@dangoodin) in Ars Technica summarizing an exploit discovered by Ahmed Hassan:

"Using readily available software and a rooted Android device, he’s able to spoof the location his device reports to Telegram servers. By using just three different locations and measuring the corresponding distance reported by People Nearby, he is able to pinpoint a user’s precise location."

Independent security researcher The Grugq (@thegrugq) on Telegram's many problems:

"In summary, Telegram is error prone, has wonky homebrew encryption, leaks voluminous metadata, steals the address book, and is now known as a terrorist hangout. I couldn’t possibly think of a worse combination for a safe messenger."

Former maintainer of the Golang cryptographic libraries Filippo Valsorda (@filippo) on a bug in Telegram's cryptographic protocol:

"To this day, itʼs the most backdoor-looking bug Iʼve ever seen."

Prof of cryptography Matthew Green (@matthew_d_green) on Telegram's custom encryption:

"Like seriously. Wtf is even going on here."

And finally, Bruce Schneier:

"Don't Use Telegram."
