@prex Wait that's a thing?
Well, this host basically the same value as a "Sent from my iPad" signature haha, how can you encrypt a post that's publicly available to everyone?

@LodeMike A more programatically concrete way would be to use https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/MediaStream/_Recording/_API/Using/_the/_MediaStream/_Recording/_API

"Encrypted"? Yeah, right!

So I came across a video provider that's supposed to serve encrypted videos and claims them to be un-downloadable.

Since I was curious, I tried to decrypt the streams and by using the ANCESTRAL DECRYPTING POWER of "Putting the stream file into VLC" I managed to defeat their state of the art #encryption and play their #video just fine.

Makes you think about what some companies tell you, VS what's actually the case. So, be careful about sharing sensitive data, even if they tell you it's secure!

Great news everyone!
I just made an update to https://vortkom.xn--3s8h30f.ws/ ! ( https://vortkom.xn--3s8h30f.ws/ )
- Due to popular demand, it now has a basic esperanto to english dictionnary with a few components so you can get a feel for how the app works
- Improved loading times! Tested with more than 8400 components in a file and it takes around 20s to import them all (with a new loading bar!), limited the list to 1000 components at most to avoid lags. You can still search the remaining ones! Search is still lightning-fast!
- Automatic detection of the x-system and switches to accents as you type!
- Can now edit and delete components straight from the search bar!

Enjoy and please give me some feedback!!

@InfiniteFlow Ho, kiujn estas en la angla? Mi pensis ĉiujn estis en la esperanta!
Kaj pri la vortaron, ankoraŭ ne, sed baldaŭ!

(Sorry if this has errors, as I said I'm still learning!!)

Words in Esperanto are a bit like lego bricks! Put components that mean different things together to make a word!
So why not use that to learn new words?
Add your own word components to build your personal dictionary (eg. "Malgrandaj" -> "Mal" (the opposite of), "grand" (big), "a" (Word is an adjective), "j" (Word is plural))
So if you have a good enough dictionary, you can infer the meaning of words by just looking at how they are build which is in my opinion the best way to learn!
Some cool features include :
- Import and export your dictionary as a file
- Smart search, will automatically find if it's a component or a word you're looking for!
- Install it as an app to be able to use #offline !
- Optimized to hold and work with large amounts of data! (For fast search)
Try now and give me some feedback!

@geneva_convenience Elaborate?

@ShellMonkey Be careful, obfuscation isn't encryption!
And no, there doesn't need to be a publicly shared token! Take a look at how simplexchat does it!

@ShellMonkey That's true, but these should also be encrypted, don't you think?
Sure the messages could still be encrypted but from the metadata you can most of the time infer the content.

It's a bit long, but you can read this if you're interested

Which means encrypted messaging without a backdoor would be illegal if this passes! That's a slippery slope!

That basically means an attacker with some skill could read any data from anyone (correct me if I'm wrong but I think you can infer the content from the metadata in 90% of cases)

For more detail on why it's bad, click the link below and read literally any feedback comment.

Go ahead and give some feedback! You can do so even if you are not an EU citizen!

Have you ever wondered how Lemmy and Mastodon federate? in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

@MrFloppy I agree! I sometimes received notifications on Mastodon from comments by Lemmy accounts on this post but far from with all comments (~10%) and sometimes my replies on Mastodon didn't carry over to Lemmy (I don't even know if this one will!) so there's still work to be done to get things working just right!
