@DuckDuckGo Recently I saw a video presentation on how advanced video motion zooming can reconstruct what is said in a room by zooming into the vibrations of a potato chips bag laying in the street next to the room.

@DuckDuckGo During a recent family get-together, one of my relatives mentioned he didn't need to watch his words, because he lives his life Alexa free. Well, sorry for him: several others had Siri activated.

If you want to keep your thoughts private, right now your best bet is to not utter them. At any time. To anyone. Cameras and microphones are everywhere.

.@tim_cook the CEO of @apple absolutely correct to attack the "data industrial complex". He's right about privacy but wrong about freedom. Read on: - https://puri.sm/posts/apple-is-right-about-privacy-but-wrong-about-freedom/ #DemandFreedom #Privacy #Security #infosec

Any #Infosec #security coming to hack.lu next week?

A very interesting agenda as usual:
https://2018.hack.lu/agenda/

My 2¢ after playing with #Falkon for a little bit:

1. Falkon might be more resource-efficient on a Qt-based desktop than others -- or if you run a lot of Qt apps in general, particularly those that make use of #QtWebEngine.

2. Falkon's tracking protection is a bit limited, but at least it doesn't phone home out of the box -- which is a problem that both #Chrome and #Firefox have, though you can at least disable this in Firefox.

#internet #security #webbrowser #privacy

Turns out, #Falkon is the second life of #QupZilla. It's a #KDE web browser using #QtWebEngine rendering engine.

"Since version 3.0, QupZilla is no longer developed and new version are released with Falkon name as a KDE project."

Just discovered the Falkon #webbrowser. https://www.falkon.org/

Any rabies or plague found on it yet? #internet #security #linux #qt #firefox

"You see, they knew this process sucked - any reasonable person with half an idea about security did - but the internal security team alone telling management this was not cool wasn't enough to drive change. Negative media coverage, however, is something management actually listens to."

#Baltimore will soon be used to test surveillance drones on domestic targets: https://theoutline.com/post/6070/why-some-baltimore-residents-are-lobbying-to-bring-back-aerial-surveillance

The surveillance drones primarily and unfairly target the underprivileged and PoC.

And five eyes countries have officially declared war on crypto: https://www.homeaffairs.gov.au/about/national-security/five-country-ministerial-2018/access-evidence-encryption

Looks like I need to hasten setting up the #censorship and #surveillance resistant wireless mesh network in Baltimore, including a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit, tax-exempt organization to support the efforts.
