07:12 schestowitz; <blockquote>
07:12 schestowitz; <p>Recently, the Fedora Project removed all patented codecs from their Mesa builds, without the rest of the communitys input. This decision was heavily criticized from the community. For that decision, some even asked the Fedora Project to remove community driven from its official description. Id like to spend some time to explain why, in my opinion, this decision was completely justified, and how

07:13 schestowitz; <p>As great as 35mm slides were, they dont have much of a place in our modern world. Not many people have working slide projectors these days and most would prefer digital photos that they can share on social media, store on their computer, or display on a TV. There are 35mm slide digitizing services, but those can cost more than 50 cents (USD) per slide. That becomes very expensive if your slide collection
07:13 schestowitz; is large. If you have a slide projector, even if its projection bulb is burnt out, this tutorial will help you digitize the slides by snapping photos with a modern DSLR camera.</p>

08:17 schestowitz; <blockquote>
08:17 schestowitz; <p>In 2022, we learned from Reuters journalist Joel Schectman that a CIA asset who was captured in Iran, and subsequently served seven years in prison, communicated with his agency handlers via a hidden communications app on a website iraniangoals[.]com. Reuters reports that Irans compromise of the network may have led to the assets capture. We investigated the website in an effort to understand the
08:17 schestowitz; vulnerabilities leveraged by Iran and China, and to learn whether the United States had been using an irresponsibly secured system for asset communication. Our investigation, led by Citizen Lab senior researcher Bill Marczak, confirmed the reports of a fatally insecure network.</p>
08:17 schestowitz; <p>We shared our findings with Schectman, whose Reuters story can be found here: Americas Throwaway Spies: How the CIA failed Iranian informants in its secret war with Tehran.</p>

08:28 scientes; who cares?
08:29 scientes; ARM processors now have chinese SM2 and SM3 encryption algorithm acceleration
08:29 scientes; this is a multi-polar world we live in
08:29 scientes; although those are not used widely outside china
08:29 scientes; although SM9 looks interesting
08:29 scientes; as it is ID-based
08:30 scientes; the reality is that Google pusing chacha20+poly1304 is what became popular alternative to AES
08:30 scientes; and there is also adiantum which is chacha12+nhpoly13004
08:30 scientes; a full block cipher for disk encryption
08:31 scientes; which is always faster than aes-xts and also encrypts the whole block instead of just 16 bytes
