Cybersecurity professional with an interest/background in networking. Beginning to delve into binary exploitation and reverse engineering.
No, they disclosed it to the Linux kernel security team, a patch was committed to mainline, then this was disclosed publicly. https://copy.fail/#timeline
They don’t have to coordinate disclosure with every distribution vendor, but droppings public PoC exploit script 28 days after the patch was committed to mainline kind of seems like a dick move to me.
Wait, hasn’t the EU also been pushing for mandatory scanning of people’s messages FoR tHe cHiLdrEn?
Or were they just pushing for a backdoor in the encryption to enable selective scanning at a massive scale?
This has the same energy as some medieval shit, a Protestant king ordering his army into a catholic monastery and burning all the books type shit. I’m here for it.
I saw some vid thumbnails a day or two ago that were talking about his mods eating him alive or something, so I’m not sure what all that more recent drama is about. I am current on his shitty dev abilities and his stupid self insert game unfortunately.
I’m not totally sure, but I watched one vid about him a year ago and now yt slams me with recs for vid about him. If titles are to be believed he’s completely crashed out and not doing well at all which makes me very happy, but I’m not cursing my algo for another year by clicking.
It’s a satellite for amateur radio, it’s not implying it’s an amateur satellite.
You’re misunderstanding what end-to-end encryption is. If they have a copy of your private key, it’s still end to end encrypted. The alternative would be akin to a TLS termination proxy, where your device would encrypt a message using Facebooks public key, they decrypt message, store it, and then Facebook uses your chat partners public key to encrypt and send to them. You cannot send an encrypted message straight through to your chat partner.
What I’m insinuating is that there’s no way to know if Facebook has a copy of your private key. The message is still end-to-end encrypted, it is encrypted by you using your chat partners public key, and passes through all of Facebooks infrastructure encrypted, until your chat partner receives and decrypts it. If Facebook stores the message, it’s stored encrypted. They can just decrypt it when subpoenaed or whenever they want bc they have the required private key.
Did you run gpg yourself to generate the key pair, then exchange pub keys with your chat partner? Or did Facebook generate the keys for you from within a closed source application?
I upgraded from an fx6300 to a Ryzen R5 1600 when they launched, and that was mind blowing. I can’t imagine what going from an fx6300 to an R5 in 2025 would feel like. That processor has been released 13 years before you upgrade, that’s impressive.
It’s an archive site, what form fields would you be POSTing?
I’m a huge proponent of LaTeX also, but I feel like it’s not that widely used outside of specific professional niches. The biggest issue I have with Word (and similar software) is the content generation and typesetting being forced into the same interface. It just breaks everything all the time. I’d much happier using word if it only allowed you to type in an Edit mode, and only allowed you to change fonts and layout and stuff in a View mode, and the View mode changes weren’t reflected live in the Edit mode.
Or not exposed to the internet. Maybe the owner pulled the repo previously, left their weekend project alone for a bit, then came back to it after all this media attention.
Honestly not surprised. Organizations have patch and vulnerability management procedures, people just run shit until they’re prompted to update, and if they git cloned they’ll probably never be prompted.

100%. Valve needs to start suing Epic for their game engine monopoly. It’s not about Valve it’s about protecting gamers.
Now you’re getting into “go download the TCP/IP Guide book” type territory lol. Networking is a fascinating subject.
I use git to sync my md notes instead of obsidians paid sync service also. I’ll never go back to proprietary non-text based notes files.
True. Then I guess I’ll just fall back to dumping it on a subnet that null routes everything outbound, and use like an Apple TV or a shield or something for all the content.
WhatsApp’s code is not public. The app generates the private keys. The app has to have access to the private keys to decrypt your messages. Because the code is not public, no one has any idea if meta has ad hoc on demand access to the private key, or if they upload the private key to their servers.
If WhatsApp was open-source like signal, we wouldn’t be having this conversation. Until then, and based on metas know business practices, it’s safe to assume they have access to WhatsApp private keys.
