I couldn't agree more with nostr:nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnddaehgu3wwp6kyqpq235tem4hfn34edqh8hxfja9amty73998f0eagnuu4zm423s9e8ks3f750r on their response to the content Rob Braxman has been putting out over the last year especially.

When someone tells you there is a problem with what you are using from a technology stand point and they are there to provide the solution I instantly get a red flag and have had red flags with Braxman for a long time. Well, looks like the #GrapheneOS team finally responded and it's glorious.

Absolutely agree. Can’t put the toothpaste back in the tube…

We only know about this with Apple because of a leak. I’d assume other tech providers have already been complicit with this law as they cannot talk about.

This is the red alarm wake up call. Start hosting your own data.

Once you go down this road you’ll understand just how important it is to be in possession of your data.

It’s the only way to be truly sovereign. People don’t understand the power of the third party doctrine.

Did you know you can easily download and archive important knowledge using Kiwix?

nostr:npub126ntw5mnermmj0znhjhgdk8lh2af72sm8qfzq48umdlnhaj9kuns3le9ll I will keep saying it until I lose my voice. then I'll use sign language! (I need to learn to sign 😭)

So many people on #NOSTR understand the importance of self custody for their #Bitcoin but not the rest of their data.

Not your server, not your data.

nostr:npub1235tem4hfn34edqh8hxfja9amty73998f0eagnuu4zm423s9e8ksdg0ht5 is 🐐 nostr:note1ts0ssgvuczm9rhhaalztfutcdvnfcdcmeqkwa7njrgy30ummz33s46h49g

nostr:npub1235tem4hfn34edqh8hxfja9amty73998f0eagnuu4zm423s9e8ksdg0ht5 Is all I've been using and been recommending to others to use for almost 5 years now..

The same laws apply. Google wouldn’t be able to talk about it. I would assume they’re also or have already been compliant. This isn’t an issue with Apple. This is an E2EE cloud provider issue. And Google is one of the biggest. Assume they’ve already been giving the keys to the data.

You don't make your old fashioned with burned orange peel? šŸ˜‰

Never heard of her 😭🤣

Do this for all of your own data. be sovereign. be ungovernable.

so are queries proxies through Venice? is Venice logging IPs, accounts and queries?

A dedicated #GrapheneOS device with nostr:npub1jg552aulj07skd6e7y2hu0vl5g8nl5jvfw8jhn6jpjk0vjd0waksvl6n8n Green installed directly via Obtanium and verified with AppVerifier is a great way to interface with the new #Jade Plus.

Given your infosec background, I'm sure what I am about to say is nothing new for you, so I am mostly speaking to "the room" here.

Yes, Lightning offers better privacy than Bitcoin when set up properly, but it also has a more complex system, equating to a larger attack surface. LN's privacy features are not automatic; users must understand and manage their privacy settings actively, which can lead to unintentional exposure of transaction details.

A fundamental privacy weakness persists in the asymmetric nature of Lightning transactions—the sender learns extensive details about the receiver's node, channels, and liquidity, while the receiver learns nothing about the sender. Plus, there's the persistent hassle of maintaining channel liquidity.

Even with proper setup, Lightning faces critical privacy vulnerabilities against global adversaries who can monitor network traffic—while individual participants can't see payment details, entities capable of monitoring internet connections can track payment flows by observing message patterns between nodes, making its privacy guarantees fundamentally weak against sophisticated surveillance.

Lightning falls well short of the anonymity provided by Monero with its stealth addresses, ring signatures, and RingCT—and soon, Full-chain Membership Proofs (FCMPs) will fix current vulnerabilities like the Exchange Attack Everywhere (EAE) attack. With FCMPs, every input will have a 100-million anonymity set, up from the current 16 Ring Signatures.

Where privacy is a concern, I still recommend Monero over Lightning for most people, as Monero's privacy features are built-in on the base layer and work by default.

Monero is privacy by default.

Focus Keyphrase Ideas:

Fractal Bitcoin podcast – Branded and specific to your show.

Bitcoin news analysis – Targets your analysis of Bitcoin news rather than just reporting.

Bitcoin and USD corruption – Incorporates your discussions on Bitcoin and USD corruption.

Bitcoin vs. government – Highlights the themes of Bitcoin in opposition to governmental systems.

Bitcoin news and Nostr – Includes your discussions of Nostr along with Bitcoin news.

Why These Are Better:

1. Long-tail keyphrases (3-4 words) have lower competition and are more specific to your content, making it easier to rank for them.

2. Including "Fractal Bitcoin" ensures you're targeting your brand, which is valuable for long-term growth.

3. Phrases like "Bitcoin and USD corruption" or "Bitcoin vs. government" position you as a thought leader in the niche space of Bitcoin criticism and socio-political discussion.

You might want to test combinations of these phrases in SEO tools like SEMRush or Google Keyword Planner to evaluate their search volume and competition level. Additionally, ensure that your focus keyphrase is used in your website's title tag, meta description, H1 heading, and sprinkled naturally in your content.

So I've been using Tuta since 2019 and other than the occasional attack outage it's been pretty baller thus far.

Right? Nostr has been asking for the masses and diversity... so here we go? 🤣

Glad to see Ross free. I want the same things...
