GD that was one horrible flat spin. No way they had a chance.

they suspect icing based on the flight altitude

Cephalotrocity ,

Icing, in the tropics, at altitudes a prop plane flies? Citation please.

hahahah, christ. when you go up high into the air, it gets colder!

ftfa:

Brazilian aviation engineer and crash investigator Celso Faria de Souza told Reuters that a buildup of ice could have caused the plane to stall and spiral in the way that it did.

Youtube, signal blocked. What is Putin afraid of?

Details or continued news of Ukraines special military operation to denazify Russia?

Signal over Proton VPN Stealth protocol. All free, specifically for these types of situations.

Signal needs a phone number though

JoMiran ,
@JoMiran@lemmy.ml avatar

They did away with that some time ago.

EDIT: To clarify, it no longer shows the number.

That’s not really the issue though, if you want to stay anonymous and not tell the government you use signal, since sms is insecure

Wildly_Utilize ,

They never stopped requiring a phone number to sign up.

They just let you hide this from other users now

I’m planning to get a prepaid burner to try signal but I’m a bit concerned about the fact my contacts are associated with a phone #

We are using simplex ATM

JoMiran ,
@JoMiran@lemmy.ml avatar

Yes. I clarified that in a different comment. My original reply was not meant as “Signal is the best solution” but as a heads up that Proton Stealth can not only bypass the block but also disguise the traffic if you want to continue using Signal.

Works with VoIP numbers though

Can’t have secret talk amongst the peasants

woelkchen ,
@woelkchen@lemmy.world avatar

Telegram, including secret chats, is not blocked because Russian elites happen to use that, too.

brrt ,

I could put on my tinfoil hat and say if signal is blocked but telegram isn’t, maybe that means that telegram isn’t as secret as they make it out to be.

woelkchen ,
@woelkchen@lemmy.world avatar

It’s open source. Look can up the encryption yourself.

catloaf ,

Can it be proven that that encryption is what’s used in practice?

woelkchen ,
@woelkchen@lemmy.world avatar

Just use the F-Droid version if there is any doubt.

Andromxda ,
@Andromxda@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

What about iOS users?

woelkchen ,
@woelkchen@lemmy.world avatar

What about iOS users?

Apple is not selling iPhones in Russia after the beginning of the invasion.

Andromxda ,
@Andromxda@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Ah yes, because everyone just throws away their phone after 2 years. People definitely haven’t purchased iPhones before the invasion.

woelkchen ,
@woelkchen@lemmy.world avatar

It’s not about everyone, it’s about people needing to hide their communication from the Putin regime.

doodledup ,

They don’t have reproducible builds afaik (unlike Signal). You can have a completely different code running on your phone than on GitHub.

Besides, who is using Secret Chat anyways? All default chats and group chats are unencrypted.

Probably Russians who used Signal before.

The F-droid version is also not reproducible. The binary you install has a different hash than the one you build from the GitHub.

The F-droid version is also not reproducible. The binary you install has a different hash than the one you build from the GitHub.

F-Droid builds from source, so any suspicion whether the Google Play version has been tampered is completely irrelevant for the F-Droid version.

Nonononoki ,

It’s reproducible if you compare it with F-droid’s tarball, which has all the source code in it.

Varcour ,

No need, all you have to do is read the whitepaper. they home brewed the encryption algorithm and nobody actually knows if it’s worth a damn. That’s not exactly a secret.

woelkchen ,
@woelkchen@lemmy.world avatar

nobody actually knows if it’s worth a damn.

After all these years, security researchers still don’t know if the encryption is any good?

HarriPotero ,
@HarriPotero@lemmy.world avatar

On that level it usually falls on computer scientists. Formal methods can prove that any implementation is correct, but proving the absence of unintended attacks is a lot harder.

Needham-Schroeder comes to mind as an example from back when I was studying the things.

woelkchen ,
@woelkchen@lemmy.world avatar

On that level it usually falls on computer scientists.

And not a single one has been able to analyze the encryption in all these years? Fact is, Telegram is the tool the Russian opposition and even Ukrainians use to communicate without Putin being able to infiltrate.

HarriPotero , (edited )
@HarriPotero@lemmy.world avatar

No. It kind of falls on Dijkstra’s old statement. “Testing can only prove the presence, not absence of bugs.”

You can prove logical correctness of code, but an abstract thing such as “is there an unknown weakness” is a bit harder to prove. The tricky part is coming up with the correct constraints to prove.

Security researchers tend to be on the testing side of things.

A notable example is how DES got its mixers changed between proposal and standardisation. The belief at the time was that the new mixers had some unknown backdoor for the NSA. AFAIK, it has never been proven.

Andromxda ,
@Andromxda@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

And it isn’t even encrypted by default, you manually have to enable that. By default, all your plain text messages are stored on their servers.

lemmylommy ,

Telegram is shady as fuck and also afaik only uses end to end encryption in „secret“ one on one chats.

I was very explicitly referring to secret chats.
