Very useful post from @ctemplar to understand basic concepts like "symmetric" and "asymmetric" encryption", and the often heard terms of "AES" 🛡️ and "RSA" 🔐

OnionShare2.3 adds anonymous chat!

Imagine you want to send some critic information. Imagine this person has his/her public gpg key on her website and social accounts (so you can "trust" it).

You send her an gpg encrypted mail. Maybe even from a disposable mail address.

But instead of putting the "content" on the email, what you send is the link to a Tor-onion-services encrypted, anonymous chat that doesn’t store any messages anywhere.

And you can send files!

@cooper @torproject Nope! but I even think the chat feature is even cooler! The idea to send to anybody that has his/her public gpg key on their website/public profiles an OnionShare address to join an encrypted, secret, disposable chat seems awesome! Then combo that with sharing files after that that you may need him/her to receive... top-notch!

If you want an encrypted #DNS resolver, based on Europe, that supports both DoH and DoT, I'm having a good experience with @libreops (https://libredns.gr/).

Here you have their recent budget report for last year (2020):

@Tutanota Jesus christ! It's has been a while since I'm out of their service... but that practice should be unacceptable!

@kev I prefer KeePass as my password solution, with syncthing to have always available the last changes between devices without recurring to any 3rd server. But I recon I install bitwarden to all my friends 😂

Do you have an RGB keyboard, live on Linux but the manufacturer doesn't have an official app to control it?

#OpenRGB is a free and open source application to control RGB lighting for a multitude of devices! (it's also available for Windows as well)

@Tutanota Is there a way to protect the android app with a pin-code from being open?

February 14th it's also the "I Love Free Software" day! Lets appreciate and applaud all those who contribute to the many areas of Free Software!! 👏🏼👏🏼 https://bits.debian.org/2021/02/ilovefs-2021.html #ilovefs https://fsfe.org/activities/ilovefs/index.en.html

@kev make sure it has silent mode!

@sunknudsen Fantastic episode, Sun! I love this idea! let's "spam" my backups 🤣 🤣

@killyourfm there you go. Done a quick example (over VNC over SSH) with one of default wallpapers

@killyourfm that is a total nonsense. Raspberry Pi OS runs openbox. Just pick a modern slick theme of 0,87Mb 😆, a flat icon set, set transparency top bar and a beautiful wallpaper, BAM. 3 times niccer yet only 150~ MB ram... ubuntu gnome for that hardware is stupid!

@killyourfm I don't know Rick, 3080 is slightly over 10/day at 240W🤔 . Anyway, I've been there in 2020... it wasn't that funny couple of months later😛

@sunknudsen @lps please don't take it wrong, Sun, but if you always do the videos without even a single cut, why do you feel so restricted with resolve? Btw, if you indeed have tried Davinci Resolve, what are your impressions about privacy and how intrusive it is? I would love your thoughts on that since it's the one I usually use!
