True, you're less vulnerable this way, but you might want to connect an external drive to it or whatnot. There were all sorts of exploits: via autorun.inf, desktop.ini and thumbs.db, remember? With Windows you never know what to expect.
Keeping threats DB updated is still a good thing IMO, feature update indeed only make things worse at this point.

Could be their workshop… which might be part of their home… or not 😄

@theorytoe
Don't forget to use sha1 hashes as names 😜

@newt
Damn, indeed that's what they did: it only shows me the thumbnails, but I can't download the media itself 😩
Hate this shit! I will host my own Matrix server on an old PowerMac G5, they Python implementation — because Go is broken. And make everything available in plain text! 🤪

@newt
I wonder why this broke the attachments in iamb client, which is more futureproof as it uses the newer Vodozemac implementation — it now gives me 404. But they still work in gomuks, which relies on older libolm.
This isn't even directly related to cryptography, has to be something else, so I wonder why it works — did they leave some sort of compatibility peep-hole behind? 🤔

@theorytoe @newt
Also, rooms aren't truly decentralised in XMPP — it might be possible with another XEP that would take forever to implement and considering the complexity it adds to the cryptography, might never happen at all.

@theorytoe @newt
XMPP is more "mature" means it's not being actively developed, so it's true, things like this rarely happen — but it also means that bugs also stay current forever, it takes years to fix them in every major implementation.
There is nothing technologically superior in XMPP 🤷

@santiago
Yeah, with proper algorithms that hardware could kick some serious ass! I remember me and my friends using a 1,5 GHz G4 Mac Mini with a gig of RAM for our jams — two MIDI controllers plus bass and mic connected to a Firewire audio card — the UI in Live could go completely unresponsive, but audio recording went on for hours 😂
And nowadays it's not powerful enough to host Pleroma 😢

@realman543 @charlie_root
Yeah, someone posted it here on Fedi some time ago — the video might be different, but the message is essentially the same and it had WAY more swearing 🤣

@santiago
Probably the same thing Ableton Live does when it gives you the option to transpose the audio track, but keep it the same length — not that it was invented there, there were earlier pitch shifting techniques, but the fact that it works on a G4 in real time makes it admirable 😁

@realman543 @charlie_root
Do you have the Polish version? That one was simply the best 😂

@charlie_root @dcc @realman543
Yeah, very temporarily, like postpone them till 2035 😏

Turning off the updates for good isn't such a good idea IMO — as it prevents Defender malware definition database from getting updated.

@santiago
Don't you have to do some sort of time-stretching to accomplish this without speeding the video up? 🤔

@Hyolobrika
No idea, never used it 😏

@Hyolobrika
No, it's Mozilla's generic white on #1C1B22 (no idea what the name of this colour is) — but you can make it you way with userContent.css — and I never tried making these myself, but I'm pretty sure you can make an extension that does this — or, look it up, maybe someone already made one 🤷

@Hyolobrika
…with self-signed cert your first visit might already be to a forged website, making you trust this "fake" cert, but with LetsEncrypt and the website out of the state's reach (not hosted in Russia) — you're safe.

@Hyolobrika @Hyolobrika
LetsEncrypt at the very least checks that it's indeed you who controls the DNS record — not much and it won't protect you from a malicious hoster (see jabber.ru case), but it might be useful against a malicious ISP and to a degree, a state actor. E.g. in Russia people are encouraged to install a new CA cert, then the state can make ISPs redirect the traffic to a forged website…
