"Passkeys Are Not a Trap"? Nice Try Scott Helme, founder and CEO of a company that markets a "Passkeys Protection" offering.

https://scotthelme.co.uk/passkeys-are-not-a-trap/

Sorry, your article is patronizing me about what attestation is, then explaining that passkeys today don't give websites an attestation at all - though a site can ask. And in so doing, it completely fails to address the main criticism of the "Passkeys are a trap" blog post, i.e. that passkeys are the boiling frog of BigTech control on authentication.

https://nonfunctional.substack.com/p/passkeys-are-a-trap-do-not-use-them

The only point I concede is that TOTP are vulnerable to phishing. And yet, if I really have to choose, I prefer that risk rather than handing over control to Google, Apple, and co. In any case, hardware authenticators like Yubikey / NitroKey are the preferred solution.

Sorry, not convinced. Passkeys are a trap. Do not use them.

p2pchat: looking for experienced devs to help build an offline messenger for the protests in india

We’re working on p2pchat, an open-source phone-to-phone messaging app for keeping people in contact when mobile internet is cut off.

There are mass protests led by the youth that are happening now in India, and internet shutdowns are already part of the response. Mobile internet was suspended around Jantar Mantar in Delhi on 2 October as people gathered to protest. Internet Society’s shutdown record documents it. Losing connectivity makes it harder to find people, coordinate and share information at the time you need to.

That’s why we used “vibecoding” to get a prototype together quickly. We started from an existing open-source Bluetooth messaging app and used AI-assisted coding to build on it. We wanted people to have actual code to inspect and test while these protests are happening. Now we need experienced human developers to review the code and help with the parts that handle people’s messages and identities.

The current prototype uses Bluetooth Low Energy for nearby messaging. with relay explicitly enabled, a phone can carry encrypted packets and pass them to another phone it encounters later. That’s the idea behind messages hopping between devices. delivery still depends on phones meeting, and reliable background operation needs physical-device testing.

There are private chats, group messaging, forums/channels and public broadcast screens. the encryption construction is custom and unaudited. Tor isn’t implemented yet. public broadcasts are public, including to hostile participants.

We need help with:

• reviewing the existing E2EE, identity verification, key storage and forward-secrecy limits, and deciding what should be replaced with a maintained, reviewed protocol.
• implementing native Tor transport for internet messaging, with peer onion addresses bound to verified contacts and protection against connections accidentally bypassing Tor.
• auditing relay hopping: consent, duplicate handling, expiry, storage limits, malicious packets and what forwarding behaviour reveals about users. we also need real Android/iOS background and multi-phone tests.
• reviewing and implementing the sensitive parts of forums and public broadcasts: sender authentication, impersonation, spam and abuse handling, and keeping private messages out of public internet gateways.

This is pre-alpha and has not had an independent security audit. please don’t rely on it for sensitive protest communications yet. The urgency is why we’re asking for help now; the prototype still needs that review before anyone should trust it in the field.

repo: lindisboy/p2pchat

If you’ve worked on secure messaging, Tor or mobile networking, a focused review of one part of the code would help. The repo has the threat model and implementation notes, including known limits and unfinished work. Please follow the security policy when reporting vulnerabilities.

To understand the seriousness and the urgency and forgive the “AI slop” approach, please do read up and follow what is happening in India. There are sickening scenes unfolding as fascistic state forces violently crack down on the youth and middle class led protests for the resignation of the Chief Election Commissioner of India, though many especially the lawyers are even calling for legal action including improsenment against the entire far right BJP/RSS government and many of the police force that is unleashing terrible police brutality. Even then, the determination of the people is not relenting and protests will continue to grow. Please follow these pages for more updates

www.instagram.com/onlytheoreticallyhot www.instagram.com/harshdelhise www.instagram.com/kahaniistaan www.instagram.com/vibhugroverr www.instagram.com/cockroachjantaparty www.instagram.com/neowsibora www.instagram.com/meghnads/ www.instagram.com/watchthestate/

For more information surrounding the specific government policies that triggered this unrest: …substack.com/…/vote-chori-sir-and-current-outbur…

This is an urgent call for help! I am reaching out to this community because I do not wish to have many eyes on this beyond the people who can really understand why this is needed. Though many of us are working towards a socialist revolution in line with what Indian revolutionary Bhagat Singh talks about in his important final letter before being martyred - “To Young Political Workers” (www.marxists.org/archive/bhagat-singh/…/02.htm) - we are also forming a United front against the fascist BJP government.

I understand there are many communists and socialists here and I believe we can come together and work towards something meaningful, which maybe even if its not necessary in this wave of protests, could be of paramount importance in the future.

Lastly… NOTE: I want to caution that there have been multiple instances of the “BJP IT Cell” and pro-government people doxxing the identities of people who provide tools and support for the protests. Something like this leaking could also become a big media controversy on how these protesters get “foreign support”. So this post will be removed soon (especially once helpful volunteers are found) for safety purposes to prevent Indian state actors from discovering who is working on this project.

We require all the guidance and support we can get! Even if you cannot support on the tech side of things, we would greatly appreciate material monetary support towards building a revolution in India!

Thank you

Dutch bank ABN Amro (one of the big 3) is at risk of being hit by US sanctions, because of services it provides to the ICC.

Worst case scenario ABN AMRO would be excluded from the international banking system, which would be the "corporate death penalty" and has already caused another bank, the Amsterdam Trade Bank, to go under.

I've been exploring different approaches to agent memory.

Keep the Why, past.dev, Agent Memory Repo and agentmemory all preserve different kinds of knowledge, in different places.

I wrote a comparison covering their strengths, limitations and architectural tradeoffs.

Including where my own project falls short.

One interesting question: how do you preserve decision rationale across repositories without centralizing everything?

New on the blog: ArtCraft is rebuilding Photoshop, Lightroom, Premiere, Word, Excel and more in Rust, with AI coding agents.

I tried it. PhotoCraft actually handled my video thumbnails, apps start in 1-2 seconds, and there are native #FreeBSD builds.

The more interesting part: GUI, CLI and agents drive the same engine. And when code gets cheap, verification becomes the bottleneck.

Linux Mint 27 “Adrien” is scheduled for Christmas 2026, marking a shift to annual releases and the end of traditional point updates.

Same hard-coded values (5°, 7°, 25°), same variable and function names, same steps, in the same order.
On one side, FairScan (Kotlin, GPL v3). On the other, Ente Locker (Rust): no copyright notice, no mention of FairScan in the file.
And this is just one function. I found similar matches in multiple files.

I'm not a lawyer and may be missing something. If you read code, I'd like to know what you see.

Guten Morgen

Ein Backup ist eine zweite Kopie deiner Daten, die getrennt vom Original liegt. Landet sie auf derselben Platte, hilft sie kaum, denn fällt die Platte aus, sind beide weg. Deshalb gehört eine Sicherung auf ein anderes Gerät, eine externe Platte, einen zweiten Rechner oder in die Cloud (Nextcloud). Wichtig ist vor allem der Rhythmus, denn wer regelmäßig sichert, hat im Ernstfall etwas in der Hand, während ein bloßer Vorsatz schnell wieder verblasst. Dazu kommt die Frage, ob man nur seine Dateien kopiert oder ein Abbild des ganzen Systems zieht. Dateien reichen meist, ein Abbild spart bei einem Defekt viel Arbeit. Am Ende zählt nur eines, eine Sicherung, die man wirklich zurückholen kann.

Machst du Sicherungen von deinen Daten?

Nothing sells a monopoly like an apocalypse.

I call bullshit on OpenAI and Anthropic using extinction fears to sell rules that could price out their competition.

You don’t have to ban open source to kill it. Just make compliance, liability and approval so expensive that only Big Tech can participate.

Make the rules proportionate to the risks. I’m not interested in renting intelligence from a handful of companies forever.

Open Source is freedom.
Open Source is sharing.
Open Source is being free from obligations.
It's making your own kind of music.

That Open Source must use GitHub is blasphemy.

That those who do Open Source must use specific tools or solutions is an abomination.

And when that tool belongs to a company, it's just another form of embrace, extend, extinguish.

Open Source is a license, a free one, that protects the software and/or the people.

Everything else is corporate in disguise.
