A Petabyte would be a thousand movies. No cinema has a thousand movies on its program.

No mandatory 2FA as far as I know.

Then how is the authenticity of a number tested by Signal?

Isn’t spoofing a phone number easy for scammers? If so, I don’t understand why there is (admittedly) so little spam on Signal.

Does Signal require 2FA upon registration? (I cannot recall)

I am living in a small room in Sydney caring for my bed-ridden demented Mum and rarely spend time in my house 100km away. Please don’t punish me for it.

I can’t really think of any other valid reasons.

My place is vacant 100km away while I look after my bed-ridden demented Mum. Unpaid.

My “vacancy tax” is the $1000 of stuff stolen by thieves who broke in.

If they are the only two options then it isn’t practical. Wouldn’t six characters be enough? One in 56,800,235,584 chance of guessing and brute force attacks could be avoided with a limit of 3 tries per hour.

EDIT: Or I could just content myself with the first 6 characters matching. I suppose there is my solution.

Definitely a UI issue because it is not clear what the user is supposed to do according to the UI.

Should I be sitting physically next to the person to confirm? Read out the gazillion character code to them over a regular phone call?

Symmetrical transparency.

It was Edward Snowden who said that “Arguing that you don’t care about the right to privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don’t care about free speech because you have nothing to say.”

But the Australian eSafety Commissioner isn’t giving up her “won’t someone think of the children” rhetoric.

And good news in Australia (despite the disingenuous headline).

News today: vote has been postponed.

My admin friend told me that all email is now secure and encrypted by default.

Of course you have to trust whoever is hosting your email though. Don’t trust Gmail, yahoo, hotmail etc

It isn’t “action” to recognize a borderless state. Or are we talking about recognizing a government? A dictatorial, bigoted, homophobic, sexist, racist government in the form of Hamas.

Supplying weapons at this point I believe to be unethical because the invasion of Rafah is futile except as an excuse for ethnic cleansing. The same kind of cleansing that Hamas have been hell-bent on for decades. I am not in favor of either.

Israel isn’t committing “genocide” though. That is not what the UN called it and for good reason.

lsrael could kill every Palestinian if they wanted to but choose not to.

Hamas wants to kill every Jewish Israeli but cannot.

That is simpleton level of simplicity.

Penny Wong went to the region pushing the 2SS. That is about 15 million yards.

Because I imagine a state needs to be defined physically before it can be recognised. It seems you don’t care enough to track down the statement parliament was asked to sign.

Labor are focused on the hard yards of a 2SS, Greens are trolling with theatre. In fact Greens may not even support a 2SS because it goes against the call of “from the river to the sea”.

You still haven’t told me what the borders of that Palestine are.

Penny Wong has already called for such a two state solution. What was the point of this motion?

I was asking what were Greens proposing? I know many of their constituents chant “from the river to the sea”.

I recall that when Labor first rejected the call for a ceasefire and Greens walked out of Parliament. The document Greens were expecting Labor to sign contained no acknowledgement that the October 7 massacre even happened (let alone condemning it).

A few weeks later the document was amended and Labor signed on.

I expected more analysis from her in her printed statement justifying her comment.

She didn’t even try to debunk the notion that reducing migration would ease housing pressure.
