It seems to me that if you end up adjacent to an operation that exposes you to certain technologies, you will be harassed and attacked with covert directed-energy weapons until you…

I think it's more likely we'd see term limits and balanced budget amendments. Possibly even the power for states to override federal laws, with a supermajority. I'd like to see oth…

We've drifted pretty far from the Constitution and what the Founders envisioned. The reinterpretation of the Commerce Clause was the start of a downward spiral. I'm hoping the Conv…

Tor doesn't protect against traffic correlation last I checked. Mixnets/Nym are better for actual privacy. (I've not audited Nym, not an endorsement)

BPC-157 is the only thing that helped me with my debilitating tendinitis. It was definitely worth it for me, nothing else worked.

They had warships when the 2A was written, some of which were privately owned. They also had things like the puckle gun and the founders were aware of advancing weaponry.

Hmm maybe they'll add something later. It does have smartcard support, so that may be one approach.

I just went ahead and placed my order anyways. :)

The product page does not completely agree with all of these tech specs: https://shop.puri.sm/shop/librem-5/

It seems like you're proving his point.

I'm not sure what you're implying, but without context, the screenshot is meaningless. It could be that Phil has a policy of not storing private keys on his iPhone or something. Is…

Yes, it depends on what you mean. The packets themselves aren't a big deal to me, it's more the ability to construct them in arbitrary ways that concerns me.

I can probably agree on the packet format, it's excessively flexible and easy to implement insecurely.

> PGP theater Hmm I don't see it as theater if you are unable to intercept and decrypt my message. Or forge my signature, etc.

This is more an issue with GnuPG though, not OpenPGP. Also, you may want to try using an actual OpenPGP Card ( https://www.floss-shop.de/en/security-privacy/smartcards/13/... ). (Y…

Real ID gets us much closer to having a national ID. Give it time.

Much of that could be solved by an implementation having user-controlled policies that whitelist/blacklist sets of algorithms. An implementation could be made with a sane default p…

As I've mentioned before, AEAD was added to the RFC bis and a number of implementations support it.

The OpenPGP RFC bis does add AEAD. The spec is overall much too flexible IMO and could use some modernization, but I don't see it as un-salvageable, as you seem to.

Just put Bayesian and Rust in the title. :)

They got you to click on the link though, didn't they?
