Tis at dark times like this that i cheer myself right up again by recollecting Labor's stellar performance on the #ClimateCrisis, & serious tax reform, & not-just-rhetorical support for #DV & women being murdered by dickswingers, & excellent free public education for all, & ending fossilfool support, & genuinely serious public housing support, & fucking the scourge of religion right outta Parly & education, & ... & ...

The father of a little girl allegedly murdered by her mother has paid tribute to his "bubbly" daughter as Queensland's Bundaberg region comes to terms with the tragic death.

Lauren Ingrid Flanigan, 32, appeared in court today charged over the death of her three-year-old daughter Sophia Rose, who was found by police in the front yard of a Moore Park Beach home with multiple knife wounds.

International station will also be more than welcome too

Ideas, comments etc welcome

They never did. Since Forward Secrecy is used (which is good), the one and only purpose of an X.509 certificate is to authenticate an entity, based on unique and *useful* identification of said entity.

Have a look at crt.sh/?q=968717.com for the "usefulness" of identification (and waste of resouces).

Or what about crt.sh/?q=localbit.com which includes certificates for ww25.ww38.ww38.ww38.ww16.ww25.? (I can give you zillions of examples like this).

Although a DV-cert may suffice for server to server communication (*), a domain name simply does not suffice for useful identification by humans.

TIL you can get a new #SSN if you’re a #DV victim, you are harassed, or if you can prove your life is in danger.

I can’t even imagine what a pain in the ass it would be to change it everywhere you would need to change it, but it’s nice this is an option.

Day 21 👩‍⚕️ 👩🥊👨‍⚕️

“A #Melbourne #surgeon has admitted tearing down a Dr Monique Ryan election sign before tutoring men in how to “bury the #body” in a video that has outraged #AntiViolence campaigners and politicians.

A video circulating on #SocialMedia shows #Professor #GregMalham praising US President Donald Trump after tearing down the teal #Kooyong MP’s #corflute before bundling it into the boot of a car and addressing “the boys”.”

How many women have been killed in Aus this year. This will be a Police matter and Professional Standards hearing.

Came to a huge realization yesterday: empathy without action is just observation of abuse. It doesn’t DO anything about the abuse. It doesn’t mean a person is standing with the victim, just that they are relieved to not be in the victim’s place.

I needed to understand this to move forward on multiple levels.

@emu : given a domain name (*) for a website with an APPARENT owner, DV certs do not provide ANY security because users have no reasonable way to determine whether said domain name DOES NOT belong to the apparent owner.

Phishing is wreaking havoc on the internet. There are lots of people like you who DO NOT provide ANY solutions.

(*) In some message (email, SMS, chatapp, DM, ...), found by Googling, out of a QR-code, in a paper letter or on social media.

A DV cert may be fine for your home NAS, but not for your bank. Unfortunately big tech does not want users to see the difference between a fake and a real bank (or any other critical website) in their browsers.

@aral : most Let's Encrypt (and other Domain Validated) certificates are issued to junk- or plain criminal websites.

They're the ultimate manifestation of evil big tech.

They were introduced to encrypt the "last mile" because Internet Service Providers were replacing ads in webpages and, in the other direction, inserting fake clicks.

DV has destroyed the internet. People loose their ebank savings and companies get ransomwared; phishing is dead simple. EDIW/EUDIW will become an identity fraud disaster (because of AitM phishing atracks).

Even the name "Let's Encrypt" is wrong for a CSP: nobody needs a certificate to encrypt a connection. The primary purpose of a certificate is AUTHENTICATION (of the owner of the private key, in this case the website).

However, for human beings, just a domain name simply does not provide reliable identification information. It renders impersonation a peace of cake.

Decent online authentication is HARD. Get used to it instead of denying it.

REASONS/EXAMPLES

🔹 Troy Hunt fell in the DV trap: infosec.exchange/@ErikvanStrat

🔹 Google (and Troy Hunt!) killed non-DV certs (for profit) because of the stripe.com PoC. Now Chrome does not give you any more info than what Google argumented: infosec.exchange/@ErikvanStrat

🔹 https:⧸⧸cancel-google.com/captcha was live yesterday: infosec.exchange/@ErikvanStrat

🔹 Stop phishing proposal: infosec.exchange/@ErikvanStrat

🔹 Lots of reasons why LE sucks:
infosec.exchange/@ErikvanStrat (corrected link 09:20 UTC)

🔹 This website stopped registering junk .bond domain names, probably because there were too many every day (the last page I found): newly-registered-domains.abtdo. However, this gang is still active, open the RELATIONS tab in virustotal.com/gui/ip-address/. You have to multiply the number of LE certs by approx. 5 because they also register subdomains and don't use wildcard certs. Source: bleepingcomputer.com/news/secu

Does anyone know ANYTHING about the Domestic Violence Hotline's "AI Ruth Pilot Project"? I am trying to research more about it but they paused it and it's hard to find info.

It's basically an AI chatbot for people experiencing Domestic Violence which...I am sure we have mixed feelings about

UPDATE: 8 janvier 2025 I just happened to see the putz (the one my friend dumped in 2022) across the street. He didn't see me. He was walking alone. He should STAY being alone (fucking putz)
