But how many use it for browsing, which I imagine this data is from?
But how many use it for browsing, which I imagine this data is from?
Thanks!
The mention was at about 12:06, in the form that OLM breaks down at about 50 users “give or take”, so it’s not really a limitation imposed by the system itself and it would be difficult to impose it. I doubt this is the experience of all Matrix e2ee users at least at that exact point, but e2ee has always had some growth pains, so there could people with those issues; on the other hand few large rooms are e2ee to begin with, so experience on those is limited. E2ee also requires the users to be more mindful about their data as in not to lose their private keys, and these problems probably increase linearly as the room size increases.
I didn’t notice any claim of rooms larger than 50 becoming public.
I’ve only heard a second-hand info about it, but apparently one local policital party uses e2ee in Matrix with hundreds of people in the room, so that should be a proof that the encryption is not limited to 50 users—and this info sounds just as well founded as the information provided by the video ;).
The guy carries on stating that pretty much all of the huge matrix rooms are not end-to-end-encrypted, and I have no reason to doubt that. Personally I see little point in having such large rooms encrypted anyway, because if you have a large room you will also likely have very relaxed checks on who gets to enter it (e.g. it could be completely public), and if that’s the case, then so can any party who wishes to monitor the room join the room as well. E2ee won’t be protecting those cases. (While at the same time you lose server-side search feature and efficient notifications, though at least the latter one is being fixed with out-of-envelope notification data—which again leaks a bit more metadata…)
The video also makes it sound like that if you have a Matrix Home Server in the network, it’s going to end up hosting CSAM. This is only the case if one of the users of that HS are in a room that has the content, so it’s not like it will just automatically get migrated there. I imagine vast majority of Matrix Home Servers have limited account creation abilities (e.g. companies, personal home servers, organizations, etc), eliminating or at least highly discouraging this kind of issue.
Btw, the video makes an excellent point about the Matrix CDN issue, which is being fixed currently as well (that change is already merged to the matrix spec), by requiring authentication. Next steps is going to associate media to messages, making this kind of thing even more strict. All this means IRC bridges will need to start hosting Matrix-side contents by themselves, though…
Because encryption doesn’t work for rooms over 50 people, so any room over that size is public by default.
By public you mean non-encrypted? How does that work? When you create a room, you default to encryption, and there is only one participant (the room creator). And you cannot turn off encryption, so what then happens when you get 51 participants?
Also existing non-encrypted rooms are never automatically switched to encryption, so the switch must be explicit. Does it refuse to do it if there are more than 50 participants?
I’ve never heard of this limit nor was I able to find info about it (so a link would be great), but there could some factor that increases problems as the number of people increases… Perhaps 50 is some practical suggestion for the maximum number of people to have in encrypted sessions?
Am I to understand correctly that if you are running Gtk+ apps in the Gnome compositor, you get this working, but if you are running non-Gnome compositor with Gtk+ apps, it will not work? Or is it independent of the compositor?
You should have backups. Preferably also snapshots. Then rm will feel less scary.
If you want to have multi-host redundant storage at home (via e.g. minio or ceph), S3 is a pretty good protocol to provide it.
S3 is nice in the way it’s not a file system so it can have relaxed semantics, while also providing secure access to individual files over HTTPS via URL signing.
Some people seem to be stuck in the idea that S3 means cloud hosting. Not sure if that was your view, but it’s worth spelling out sometimes.
Moving away from Discord can mean you need to stop interacting with the community using it. My personal examples are: Tilt5, Makera, Turbo Sliders. In the these cases Discord is also the way to access support for something you’ve paid for.
Getting thise communities to move into something open (e.g. Matrix) can be a tall order.
By that logic, is the compositor working any different than a trojan? Is there really a difference?
The Wayland compositor is always capturing all your keyboard and mouse as well. No permissions asked. Pretty sus.
I have 64GB RAM and my 64GB swap still gets filled to 60% over time.
It just happens so that apps end up touching some memory once that they never then use again. Better use some SSD for that instead of RAM.
I suppose it explains why people have a bad attitude about Wayland when tools providing useful functionality are described as trojans.
X11 can (…mostly…) have great security by just providing a suitable X Security module to it. It just seems it wasn’t considered that big of an issue that anyone bothered. Nokia Maemo/Meego used to rock such a module.
It doesn’t actually detect moved code, though, like git diff
can? I gave it a shot and also there’s a couple issues open about it, e.g. https://github.com/Wilfred/difftastic/issues/520 .
Other than that, difftastic is quite nice.
I use etckeeper to autocommit changes in /etc as git just has better and faster tools to look at the changes of a fle, compared to backup tools.
It’s just so easy to do that there hardly is any point in not doing it.
I suppose it’s the easiest way to try it out.
I wouldn’t use it long-term, because you don’t want Godot to update without you knowing, if there’s something that needs to be changed due to an update. I bet a few people noticed the update from 3.x to 4.x…
I’ve read it also doesn’t come with the C# support, so that’s one reason not to use Steam for it if you’re interested in testing that side.
I was under the impression cross-site cookies are a standard feature per the RFC, though? Or is Patreon using some kind of non-standard extension?
Speed records aren’t usually representative of regular use top speeds, are they?
And how about the actual speeds they are used with? Another poster suggested the maintenance costs of traditional speeds skyrocket as speed increases, while maglev doesn’t really have a lot of stuff that wears down in the first place.
I rather enjoy Tilix. It can tile a single tab without tmux and it can also give special handling to links matched from regexps. I use it to go from Python stacktraces to correct line in Emacs with just a click. It can also do Quake-like terminal, which I use alot.
The project is looking for maintainers, though, so it’s possible at some point I need to start looking for alternatives…
It still loses to HgBa2Ca2Cu3O8+6 with Tc = 133–138 K at normal air pressure, though. (I assume it’s normal air presure as the article doesn’t say the pressure for it, while it refers to some others as high-pressure ones.)
Maybe LK-99 still has other benefits, such as not using mercury.
My /home is also on a separate filesystem, so in principle I don’t like to mounting data under there, because then I cannot unmount /home (e.g. for fsck purposes) unless I unmount also all the other filesystems there. I keep all my filesystems on LVM.
So I just mount to /mnt and use symlinks.
Exception: sshfs I often mount to home.
