• e/OS - przesyłanie głosu użytkowników na serwery OpenAI

@chlopmarcin „Obecnie rozpoznawanie głosu w systemie /e/ odbywa się w całości bez połączenia internetu."

💫 Hura ! Mamy to!

Po aktualizacji z 19 lipca - /e/OS 4.1.1

💡 Analizując warunki usług Murena, powstaje pytanie, czy to: domyślnie działa wyłącznie lokalnie, czy może działać lokalnie?

WARUNKI USŁUGI - Murena Workspace

Murena Voice to Text

Murena Voice to Text jest dostępne dla użytkowników Murena Workspace Premium korzystających z /e/OS. Funkcja Voice to Text w aplikacji Murena korzysta z zewnętrznego interfejsu API automatycznego rozpoznawania mowy (ASR) dostarczonego przez OpenAI. Aby zapewnić prywatność i bezpieczeństwo naszych użytkowników, wdrożyliśmy system proxy, który anonimizuje dane użytkowników przed ich przetworzeniem przez API ASR. Oznacza to, że podczas gdy dane głosowe są wysyłane do OpenAI w celu transkrypcji, są one najpierw anonimizowane przez nasz serwer proxy, aby chronić Twoją tożsamość. Jedyne dane, które trafiają do OpenAI, to zanonimizowany materiał dźwiękowy niezbędny do procesu transkrypcji. Ponadto ta funkcja rozpoznawania mowy jest aktywna tylko wtedy, gdy została wyraźnie aktywowana przez użytkownika za pomocą klawisza rozpoznawania mowy na klawiaturze. Zobowiązujemy się do zachowania poufności informacji i przestrzegania surowych protokołów ochrony danych w celu ochrony prywatności.

Na oficjalnym forum e Foundation,
użytkownicy kiedyś pisali:

„Szkoda, że eOS korzysta z takiej usługi, podczas gdy Murena promowała swoje usługi jako "prywatne, zrównoważone i w pełni otwarte źródło". OpenAI nie szanuje prywatności użytkowników, wykorzystuje ludzi i zasoby naturalne w sposób niezrównoważony i oczywiście nie jest open-source.
Zwłaszcza, że przekształcenie głosu w tekst może być wykonane lokalnie z efektywną aplikacją opensource, taką jak ta (używa modeli OpenAI, ale na telefonie)"

===

„rzeczywistość — otwarty, bezpieczny, od-googlowany system nie jest ani otwarty, ani bezpieczny, ani od-googlowany!? To tylko nowy anøm podszywający się pod open source. Nie byłbym zaskoczony, gdyby węzły Tor w Advanced Privacy były kierowane przez serwery kontrolowane przez Murena. Coraz mniej ufam systemowi operacyjnemu /e/ Foundation i firmie Murena"

Powerful Hardware Turned into E-Waste

What you're looking at is another unfortunate example of perfectly capable hardware becoming electronic waste long before its technical lifespan is over.

This is the AirTies Air 4960, an AX5400 Wi-Fi 6 mesh extender/access point featuring impressive hardware:

* Broadcom BCM6752 triple-core ARM Cortex-A7 SoC (up to 1.5 GHz)
* Broadcom BCM43684 4x4 Wi-Fi 6 radio with 160 MHz channel support
* Dual-band Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax)
* Two Gigabit Ethernet ports
* Around 4.5 W power consumption

From a technical perspective, this device is still more than capable of delivering excellent performance in many home and enterprise networking scenarios.

- The Real Issue

The hardware isn't obsolete, the software ecosystem is intentionally locked down.

Many devices like this are heavily restricted by manufacturers or Internet Service Providers (ISPs), preventing owners from repurposing them once official support ends or the service contract expires.

Meanwhile, open-source firmware projects such as OpenWrt, DD-WRT and Tomato have demonstrated for years that networking hardware can remain secure, functional, and useful far beyond its commercial lifecycle.

Unfortunately, locked bootloaders, proprietary firmware, missing documentation, and closed-source drivers often make that impossible.

Sustainability Is Also About Software Freedom

We regularly discuss sustainability, circular economy, and reducing electronic waste.

Yet perfectly functional networking equipment ends up in recycling bins, not because the hardware has failed, but because users are prevented from installing alternative software.

* The hardware already exists.
* The raw materials have already been mined.
* The manufacturing energy has already been spent.

In many cases, all that's missing is the freedom to install an alternative operating system.

- A Better Approach

I would like to see manufacturers embrace a more open ecosystem by providing:

* Unlockable bootloaders
* Public hardware documentation
* Support or at least tolerance for open-source firmware
* Longer software support lifecycles

This would benefit users, enterprises, developers, the open-source community, and ultimately the environment.

Not every retired device is obsolete, many are simply made obsolete through artificial restrictions.

>Hi,
>
> I built a forum meant to be attacked. Not another vulnerable-by-design app — the opposite.
>
> The app is *protected* by client-side E2E encryption. Your goal: extract a flag from a user's encrypted memo. Dumping the DB won't help. Neither will root. The key never leaves the owner's browser.
>
> It's Juice Shop inverted. There, you hunt for bugs someone deliberately planted. Here, nothing is broken on purpose — three defences are claimed to hold, and the point is to prove otherwise.
>
> SelfDataGuard — the memo stays unreadable with full database access and root.
> SelfRecover — authentication holds with no email and no phone at any point.
> SelfModerate — reputation resists coordinated fake accounts.
>
> Concretely: extract the memo, take over an account without its password, read a private message between two other members, or bury someone's reputation. Each objective maps to MITRE ATT&CK and OWASP references.
>
> Three known limits are disclosed up front, so nobody wastes a report on them:
>
> — the login password also derives the wrap key → E2E **at rest**, and it's stated as such
> — offline floor on the memo is ~52 bits behind PBKDF2-600k; Argon2id is on the roadmap — the SU console is a sandbox, its password is public on purpose
>
> Rules of engagement are public: explicit scope, safe harbor, coordinated disclosure at 90 days. The report form is E2E encrypted — the module you're testing protects your report too.
>
> No bounty, no company behind it. AGPL-3.0, one maintainer, and a hall of fame that's still empty.
