@grimmy Try making an ipv6 tunnel (protocol 41) to your home server. My experience is that many ISPs ignore these packets in their throttling. For decades ipv6 is faster than ipv4 when you tunnel out of a throttled connection.

@PNS The entire reason her tribe (if she knows it) is not in control of their land is a failure to control illegal immigration.

@cjd @dcc @ned In an ideal world, the goal of the NSA is to prevent foreign adversaries from spying on US businesses (and individuals, but you know they only care about Big Business).

In the 80s, crypto was classified as a munition and export controlled. On the bright side, this meant US citizens had a 2nd amendment right to it. When PGP came out, there was a kerfluffle over export controls and open source. So the source code was published in a book, and the NSA gave up on that battle.

So now it is an arms race, and it is in the interest of even a corrupt NSA to foresee and warn US interests of potential external advances.

@cjd @dcc @ned Who needs microphones in the walls when they have microphones in your pockets and purses.

@cjd @dcc So barring some mathematical discovery, 256bit ECC is on par with 4096 or 8192 RSA?

A week from now we’ll be in Strasbourg at The Matrix Conference!

🇩🇪 Don’t miss Dominik Braun from FITKO share the architecture decisions, the choice of Matrix as the end-to-end encrypted backbone and key insights from navigating the political and administrative challenges of this large-scale transformation in the German federal administation

There are still a few tickets left if you want to listen to it live – we’d love to see you there!

@ned @cjd @dcc Why would this hypothetical user of crypto breaking quantum computing let anyone know of their success? This is a case where "seeing is believing" is bad policy.

@cjd @dcc I saw article on a working 128 qbit gadget. I figure govts are probably secretly up to 256 or 1024. The difficulty of getting a bunch of qbits together increases exponentially with number.

@cjd My understanding was the good old RSA was secure against quantum with sufficient key size. I.e. a 4096 bit key requires a 4096 qbit quantum computer to solve. 4095 qbits does not "mostly" solve it.

@cjd @r000t That's why I use raw IPv6 (cjdns or yggdrasil) for p2p email and VOIP.

If you can't trust DNS or cabal CAs, then not using either leads to fewer mistakes.

Meat is the easiest way to ensure full nutrition. Especially as the list of known essential fatty acids, vitamins, etc keeps growing with research.

However, there are and have been fully nourished vegan cultures. The key is growing the plants in real soil. (Or Real Soil, as an activist group is named.) Chemical fertilizer is efficient in many ways, but it does not replace carbon in the soil, and it kills the normal soil microbes. These microbes make the essential nutrients typically lacking for a Western vegan. B12 is the best known, but there are many more. Also, a vegan diet has to include fungi, which provides more essential nutrients not found elsewhere outside of meat.

Note that corn fed cows do not get B12, and get sickly without artificial B12 supplements (cyanocobalamin). The synthetic B12 must be detoxified by the liver - this is a problem for humans taking B12 supplements (makes about 1/1000 human supplement takers insane through neurotoxicity). When you eat corn fed cows, their liver has already detoxified the synthetic B12, so there is that.

However, corn fed cows have acid stomachs. Their normal diet of grass creates low acid stomachs, and the natural E-coli are harmless to humans with high acid stomachs. The acid stomach of corn fed cows breed an acid tolerant strain of E-coli which is deadly to humans. So eating corn fed cows is riskier than grass fed.

Furthermore, the fat composition of corn fed cows is unhealthy - reversing the normal Omega 3 to Omega 6 ration. This affects both meat and butter. This is made worse by the CAFO (Concentrated Animal Feeding Operation) environment of corn fed cows. You have the bovine equivalent of a couch potato eating junk food. Not something you want to eat long term.

Bottom line: eat 100% grass fed beef (and pasture raised chicken, etc), and/or fruits/veggies/fungi grown in Real Soil.

We get beef from Polyface farms run by Joel Salatin who has the hands on experience and research in the cows/chickens aspect. He has written a number of books: I recommend "Folks, This Ain't Normal".

In general, for those who aren't farmers, the solution to Big Farm problems is similar to the solution for Big Tech problems. Know Your Farmer. We have talked to Joel Salatin and visit his farm every year or so. Have you talked to your mail admin?

@r000t @cjd Right, but the trick is to convince the browser that the cabal CAs are NOT valid for r000t.com and subdomains. That requires PKCS#11

@cjd But then, the cabal CAs can still forge certs for the local stuff. Because the cabal CAs are trusted for *everything* - not just ICANN TLDs.

@cjd Run your own ACME server for .pkt. Like the one I linked.

The BIG issue is that Normies only comprehend how to add fully trusted CAs to their browser (allowed to validate any domain). We need a normie friendly way to add a PKCS#11 policy that e.g. does *not* trust cabal CAs for .PKT and *only* trusts your CA for .PKT.

@cjd Not the biggest fan of golang - but at least it compiles fast, unlike Rust.
