Embracing the GC
I never actually liked the GC in D as it didn’t seem to fit in with the general direction of the language, and Walter Bright in D at 20: Hits and Misses says:
Miss: Emphasis on GC

There is also lowendspirit, but in both cases you have to be very careful what you buy - not everything that is advertised there will work as advertised or will work long-term
where they will double your monthly data limit for free when you comment your order number.
where they use you to spam the forum thread (for giving away something rarely anyone has any use for)

“secure alternative”? Others are not secure?
Pretty much anything that’s only available via an app store. The difference with web apps is that I can also use them on a laptop/PC and I have a bit more control about tracking (by using ad/tracking blockers).
not being forced to have an Android or Apple smartphone, so more open standards and just Web apps instead of proprietary apps
replaced it myself - it’s not actually that difficult to do
I actually replaced the display twice already (got a replacement from Aliexpress for around $16) - first time because the touchscreen failed and second time because I smashed it.
Sony z3c with FirefoxOS and a Samsung A5 with Tizen
I use them as IMAP storage for a few mailing lists I am subscribed to (but not for my main emails), but they do reject legitimate emails from time to time (not often, but it does happen - and those emails don’t show up in “Spam” or any logs).
I have had pretty good experience with hosting an email server on AlphaVPS, InceptionHosting and just now GreenCloudVPS.
GreenCloudVPS currently have a promotion until Sunday, and there are usually promotions around Black Friday on LowEndSpirit and LowEndTalk
Only public keys get exchanged via Meta’s servers, those keys don’t help you with trying to decrypt any messages (you need the corresponding private key to decrypt - and that private key stays on the device).
Sure, they could just do a man in the middle, but that can be detected by verifying the keys (once, via another channel).
Maybe so, but in this case the point was that the protocol used by WhatsApp hasn’t changed in that time and it’s still what they describe in their security whitepaper. If you want to use that software as is or maybe reimplement it based on that is up to you.
Governments, if they want, can decrypt any chat
Any source for that claim?
In a subpoena case in India, that turned out to be not true.
Source please.
WhatsApp admins hold keys to being able to do that under law pressure.
How do they get the keys?
They only guarantee it for 1-1 messages and statuses, and against “generic” actors for group chats…
Who is “they”?
Group chats are also end-to-end encrypted in WhatsApp (so any monitoring would need to be done in cooperation with one of the participants’ devices before encryption or after decryption)
declassified internal FBI document I just linked
don’t see any such link
It still works (with a few minor updates).
Also the location of known Wifi networks.
