Why all of a sudden nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg's notifications started looking weird?

Missing names, pics, and context.

Undefined followed you, and so on

Is there any other client that shows follow notifications? It is always nice to follow back.

To open source it lol!

The plugins are open source, but not the app itself. It is not a huge problem because in the end you are writing and organising MD files.

You could subscribe to enable sync and pre releases, but that isn't a thing for me. I simply backup the folder by zipping it and throwing it on some usb stick every now and then.

Linking stuff and embedding pieces of other docs is very nice! I don't have to repeat a checklist or a paragraph, if I need them in more places. I just ![[file-name#header]].

Same, I was weirded out about my Mac becoming super slow while watching yt. Now it makes sense

I will give it a shot tonight then

Doesn't work outside US. I didn't try without VPN yet. I hope it is not like the time I spent brainwashing myself with ancient aliens. That was 2013, I wish I was listening to Andreas Antonopoulos instead

Automatic reboot is used to restart the device after a user-determined period of time where the device is inactive.

When a device (and user profile) have been unlocked once by the user, sensitive derived encryption keys run within memory to allow the disk encryption/decryption while in use. People determine this state as After First Unlock (AFU) while a state where the device has not been unlocked at all as Before First Unlock (BFU). These descriptions are common amongst exploit developers and forensics analysts. Automatic reboot is an overall security improvement but for most people they use it as an anti-forensics feature.

When a device or profile is in a BFU state - the attack surface is much less, there is no keys in memory, less OS components are running, the device runs in a limited state among many other details. For an exploit to work against a BFU device they'd need an extremely sophisticated and unlikely to be performed attack, an example being to brute force the device's PIN would involve exploiting the tamper-resistant secure element before even attempting the brute force process.

The recent affair involving the project discovering exploits used by forensic companies is directly related to this. The exploit involved bypassing protections in Fastboot firmware to perform a RAM dump after an unsafe reboot, allowing a company to brute force the encryption keys from that dump without any throttling, completely avoiding the secure element's protections. This attack is only possible in AFU. Many forensics companies rely on phones being AFU to extract data, although some companies may be able to get data BFU depending on device manufacturer, OS version and many other circumstances.

We always had the autoreboot, but for the current affair - it was decided to reduce the timer from 72 hours to 18.

If a user sets automatic reboot to a time low enough that suits them, they can keep the phone at the most secure state when they aren't around it but need to keep it on. This does come with the cost of notifications for apps, except for alarms and default calls and texts (providing you don't use a SIM pin). Manually restarting and powering off in sticky situations is always the best choice though.

GrapheneOS also takes additional steps in User Profile improvements, as user profiles run with their own separate encryption keys, and can be purged from memory at any time with the End Session button unlike the Owner profile, which needs a device power off or restart. This is why users of GrapheneOS working in high security setups make the owner profile empty and just manage everything in separated profiles, as if someone breaches the Owner profile, they can't breach the other users if they haven't been unlocked once or had their session ended.

Thank you for the leads and write-ups. Very helpful.

Books of economics can also have some comics.

I kinda agree and find myself in maybe similar situation, but don't fully understand the comment.

I'm for example working for tech companies that provide Blockchain services, while also trying to build tooling right for Bitcoin and Nostr. Double agent, if you will, but not a secret one. I learn good technology practices and apply them every where I work.

I sense resistence from Blockchainy startups to abandon their tokens and focus on the tech only which they do pretty well. They don't want to lose the monetary power of the printer.

On the other hand a resistance from Bitcoin world to do things in a professional and a less hacky way. They don't want to over complicate and centralize.

Aside from 100% believing there is no money other than Bitcoin, I'm confident there is good tech that deserves exploring and adoption which could level up the Bitcoin ecosystem so there will be no excuse for anyone not to utilize its coin and drop their fiat-like tokens and only focus on building.

Bitcoiners like playing it slow and safe though. I get that.

Did you happen to read the block size war?

It was a great example of how such thing could go and how it went well. Not smoothly, but we still made it here.

I don't think we will be completely right or wrong. Money paid by corps to support foss devs will go through channels. Someone will have the say who receives what when and for how long.

We only hope that these appointed persons try their best to be as fair as possible, and when they feel they are being influenced to support certain things and not others, they will take a stand.

Should these facilitators for whatever reason allow biased funds distribution, we hope that someone notices and corrects them.

I have faith in Bitcoiners. They are still humans though, so your milage will always vary 😁
