Immer wieder kommt die Frage, ob Signal wegen seines Sitzes in den USA noch vertrauenswürdig ist. Ich finde: ja. Denn selbst wenn Behörden anklopfen – Signal kann keine Inhalte oder Metadaten herausgeben, weil es sie schlicht nicht hat. Wer das anders sieht oder ein anderes Bedrohungsmodell hat, soll eben einen anderen Messenger wählen.

"Meta laat binnenkort een 'AI-tornado' los op jouw gegevens - en zo weiger je dat"

Door er definitief weg te gaan. 👈🏽 Dit is de enige juiste uitleg van bovenstaande stelling, maar die wordt zoals verwacht niet gegeven in het artikel.

I like this idea for a #LettersToTheEditor #preprint server.
link.springer.com/article/10.1

"Such a preprint server would offer three major benefits…: format-free ease of swift communication, increased author visibility and accountability, and avoiding the homelessness of unpublished [letters]."

PS: I've sent letters to journals that had policies not to publish them, but without saying so anywhere. Once I sent a letter to a new journal that had never received or published one and needed time to think about it. Right now #SocialMedia takes up this slack and does a pretty good job. But posting letters as preprints would give authors more space, prevent even published letters from languishing behind #paywalls, and offer better opportunities for #PIDs, #metadata, and #discoverability.

SpringerLinkReinventing the Letter to the Editor in Science: A Dedicated Preprint Server - Publishing Research QuarterlyAlthough letters to the editor (LTEs, or Correspondence) have a wide range of communicative functions within science, they also present several drawbacks, three of which we highlight: editorial ambiguity, technological limitations and skewed perceptions about their format. An assessment of Scopus (September 16, 2023) indicated that letters account for 1.7% to 3.2% per year, relative to articles and reviews, suggesting that the LTE field is undeveloped. We argue that the creation of a new preprint server, which we name CoArXiv or LettersArXiv, would allow LTEs—with timely and valuable knowledge and insight—to be posted in much the same way as other preprints, and would be one way to overcome needed reform of LTE-publishing culture, ultimately expanding the range of science communication channels for multidisciplinary research. We consider that such a preprint server would offer three major benefits for scientific research: format-free ease of swift communication, increased author visibility and accountability, and avoiding the homelessness of unpublished LTEs.

"[Frances] Pinter has reached Publishing Perspectives with the news that 'publications in territories presently occupied by Russia' are 'unjustifiably using the ISSNs of Ukrainian journals originally founded by displaced Ukrainian higher education institutions, or obtaining entirely new ISSNs while falsely claiming to be the legal successors of these publication.'"

There is a difference between logical and physical servers. Your DNS lookups are not decentralized, and usually can be seen over the wire.

Unless you run your own recursive resolver, you will be revealing a lot of information about your traffic even if it is encrypted. Even if you run your own recursive resolver, you will reveal metadata, albeit, at a possibly lower rate.

@dzwiedziu @fj @signalapp not really, as the #Metadata #FUD cited by #Signal is mitigateable with proper measures.

  • You can't even run Signal over @torproject and even if that point is moot when you're forced to quasi-#KYC by virtue of a #PhoneNumber aka. #PII they have neither legitimate interest nor technical reason to demand in the first place!

Every claim that things like #ITsec, #InfoSec, #OpSec & #ComSec can be solved with "Just use Signal!" is "#TechPopulism" at best if not being a "#UsefulIdiot"!

Darf ich vorstellen: codeberg.org/weirdfox/mfs

Ein Tool, mit dem man Metadaten herunterladen kann. Gerade nur Publikationen über DOI von Crossref / DataCite / OpenAlex, wird aber in alle möglichen Richtungen erweitert. Nutze es um Rust zu lernen, ist aber ernst gemeint :)

Momentan eine sehr Alpha-Version verfügbar, von jeglicher produktiven Nutzung ist stark abzuraten.

Ich freue mich über Tipps, Ideen, Kritik!

Über neue Releases wird hier ebenfalls berichtet.
