  1. Got a response from "the office of" my member of parliament regarding my concerns about #BillC22 and it was really disappointing.

    I decided to take a deep breath before responding. It's pretty clear that the Liberal Party of Canada is going to do whatever it wants to do, and working Canadians couldn't be a lower priority.

    I think all that elbows up talk is about ensuring the Canadian investment class can still prosper no matter what happens south of the border.

  6. I can't stand Alberta, its government or its policies. It's a shithole that's shifting to a model of extracting maximum profit for the UCP's corporate buddies at the expense of everyone else.

    At the same time, Canada is sprinting as fast as it can to ram Bill C-22 through which will effectively turn us into a surveillance state. Hiding behind the classic "think of the children" line has always been short for "we're doing sketchy shit and we don't want to be questioned on it." Plus there's no such thing as a secure back door for encryption, it's just a ticking time bomb for data breaches.

    How did I end up losing no matter which way the separatism bullshit goes? I'm ashamed to be part of both province and country alike.

  9. 🏠🔥 PSA for EVERYONE, EVERYWHERE 🔥🏠

    Scammers and attackers are targeting the utilities we all rely upon. Your bank and phone provider are the front doors.

    NEVER tell anyone who your bank or phone provider is. They are the two weakest points anyone needs to drain you dry. And if robbed, your providers will shrug shoulders.

    We have every right to complain about the few choices we have. But the moment you name your bank or phone provider online, scammers are listening and prodding.

    Every country has its own version of this problem. For Canadians, Bill C-22 is a tool for law enforcement, not for you. It will not get your money back.

    An authenticator app is annoying until the day it saves everything you have.

    I've worked for phone companies, and have friends who work for banks, it's kept quiet how fragile the system is. We must protect ourselves, individually. 🔒

    PS. If you often leave for a summer home, know that scammers count on you being off the grid and unreachable. Plan accordingly.

  14. After running a small-time, non-federated #XMPP server for 2.5 years (#prosody), I've decided to decommission it.

    What I loved about it was the ability to make the attachment sizes large - 100MB - then it allowed a nice long-format "video memo pen-pal" experience with my friends. We would video ourselves for a few minutes, checking in with each other and expressing how we're doing. It was a spiritual exercise: how was our meditation going lately? What were we meditating on, as an object of meditation? That 100MB attachment size allowed up to 9ish minute video memos, as long as the video-recording  resolution was turned down from the too-high default.

    Now that #Canada is intent on rushing #BillC22 through, not caring what the #infosec experts have to say - they've pretty much made the decision for me, to use a #Deltachat server instead. This is to get a Canadian server on Canadian soil, with the ability to conveniently switch servers (add another "relay", in case one disappears). #DataSovereignty #ElbowsUp

    With #XMPP, the encryption is unfortunately optional, and even downright problematic in group chats. #Deltachat succeeded in making the E2E encryption required and automatic. A step up, which today's politics all but required. #OpenSource

    I really hope that the Senate sends C22 back to the house but I'm not confident.
    The only ammendment that makes sense is to gut Part 2.

    "Bill C-22 is dangerous on multiple levels.
    It pushes for requirements for metadata retention, expands information sharing with foreign governments, and establishes a mechanism that allows Canada's Ministry of Public Safety to demand that companies create backdoors, effectively breaking encryption.
    That mechanism was a key facet of Part 2 in Bill C-22, and the government prevented it from being independently debated."

    "Bill C-22 Amendments Fall Short on Encryption and Cybersecurity Risks
    Half Measures Fail to Fix Sweeping Surveillance Powers"
    progresschamber.org/news/bill-

    Quote:
    "The bill does not broaden the 'systemic vulnerability' definition to protect consumer devices and operating systems from encryption backdoors.
    It still allows gag orders that would prohibit companies from being transparent with their users.
    And the bill only imposed piecemeal limits on the government's ability to force surveillance capabilities on technology companies."
