  • End-to-end encryption have been designed so that a "middleman" such as Signal can't read your conversation. Signal goes even further by encrypting metadata protecting other information such as who you're talking too and at what time (some technical and targeted attack could however determined these).

    In asymetrical cryptography we tend to assume that what we call middleman is a third-party placed between the two peers during the public key exchanges (such as handshake). Signal is indeed a middleman on the infrastructure level but the software has been designed to protect you from middlemen having access to the raw, unencrypted data.

    That say if you don't verify your peer's public key it's not impossible that someone has done a man-in-the-middle attack and that you're sending message to him and he's rerouting them to your peer, etc... However this is unrealistic for the average person.

    So even if it's not a p2p infrastructure but some centralized servers we can assume that there is no middleman thanks to e2ee.

  • Did you heard and read what the banksters said about the digital euro named cash+ ? Did you see how it this authoritarian technology have been abused by the countries that have already implemented it ?

    CBDC have nothing to do with cash, it will be closed and opaque, surveilled and controlled, frozable and perishable. Of course it won't be on day one, they ususally wait to be necessary in people lives to change stuff just like private companies does. Don't be fool by the banksters, especially the ones from central banks and cantillonaires... They wan't to remove cash to have better control over our money.

  • I can see a future where big YouTube conten creators taking some independance and start monetizing a peertube instance with a real infrastructure and not just a cheap VPS. Maybe I am utopist.

  • I would at least take SATA SSD nowadays as it's pretty cheap but honestly I can't see myself go back to SATA after having enjoyed M.2 SSDs for years now.

    If you want 8TB of storage I can see why HDD would be great but for 2TB or less SSD are accessible if not cheap.

  • I had little issues with ente facial recognition myself and you should be able to search with keywords such as dog, cat or even maybe pet. To me it works well enough but it is indeed inferior to cloud based google AI for sure

  • Well I agree with you that Lightning isn't a magical piece of innovation that will scale Bitcoin to the masses. However you can use it p2p. There is no lie here. Is it easy to setup ? Is it easy to maintain ? Not really it's not hard but it's a entry barrier for sure.
