The UK has announced plans to fast-track legislation requiring “age verification for VPN use”. The correct term, however, is not age verification but identity verification.
A law like this would require everyone to identify themselves in order to use a VPN. This would pose a risk to whistleblowers, violate human rights, and represent yet another step toward an authoritarian society.

@mullvadnet "yet another step" indeed...

@mullvadnet We will all be outlaws soon.

Eventually you end up like Russia, where all commercial VPN servers have been blocked for years but everyone either knows someone who self-hosts a VPN, or uses some sketchy adware

@mullvadnet How on earth is this even enforceable?

@mullvadnet This is a struggle between commercial interests. Non-commercial projects are unlikely to be affected. VPNs are tools not only for bypassing blocks but primarily for creating your own network on top of the main one.

@mullvadnet So everyone should use a VPN, always.

@mullvadnet With all due respect. The UK government can go f… themselfes.
You folks are great tho ❤️ 💪 🙏

@mullvadnet hopefully mullvad will still be able to be used by UK users, it is my favorite VPN
I'm thankful for its existence thanks for the work you do -

@mullvadnet lol. This is an admission of failure if I've ever seen one. Since their safety nonsense tanked due to VPN existence, they're now trying an arms race. Good luck with that.

They'll have to *really* fast track it if they want to pass it before we yeet them into the rubbish bin of history. Government by announcement only gets you so far when your polls are collapsing and your own guys are saying you should resign.And even if they do, the next government can repeal it easily, because hasty legislation reactively banning things doesn't have any complicated infrastructure to tear down or budget gaps to cover. It can just go away.

@alexanderdyas @mullvadnet It isn't, and I assume it's the point. Make the law vague enough that anyone can be prosecuted under it. -

@mullvadnet So often, systems like government, sports clubs, businesses have such unscalable paths to the influencing of decision makers that they learn very fast that they can be authoritative and selfish with precious little interference.

@mullvadnet curious timing. just about an hour ago I forged and verified my first zero knowledge proof that can tell the verifier that proof holder was born before a certain timestamp (aka. older than N years) at the same time reveling absolutely (!) nothing about proof holders, not even those who authorize it.

This is exactly my point as well. The EU has done some great things in digital privacy laws and yet they still want to do dumb shit. I am appaled with the issues with CSAM and I agree something needs to be done. I also agree with the deplorable ways in which social media has infected society - howver, the answer is not to destroy privacy.

Requiring every VPN user to verify their age to stop a few bad actors is like requiring everyone to show government ID to buy a hammer because a few people used hammers to commit crimes.

@petealexharris @mullvadnet But do we think Nigel and Cruella will be so inclined?

@laurenshof that’s a very smart take - yes indeed, I had never thought of it this way.

Mavis Staples - Livin’ On A High Note (2016)
Mavis Staples (con Bettye LaVette) è rimasta, tra le grandi voci della soul music ancora in attività, quella in grado di regalarci emozioni e bei dischi: in teoria ce ne sarebbero altre, ma Aretha Franklin non fa più un disco decente da oltre trent’anni, Diana Ross pure, Tina Turner pare essersi ritirata, ma anche... https://noblogo.org/available/mavis-staples-livin-on-a-high-note-2016

Per S. Valentino ho regalato a Vittorio un Nanoblock di Quaxly e posso dire?
Mille volte più carino (e cento volte meno costoso) di quei LEGO orripilanti che hanno annunciato qualche settimana fa.

@lord
J'imagine que chacun donne le sens qu'il veut à une minute de silence, il faut voir comment c'est formulé mais ça m'étonnerait que ce soit "en support des actions et idées de la personne tuée", et probablement plutôt "contre le fait de tuer des gens". Mais s'il y a moyen de vérifier ça je suis prête à changer d'avis!Aussi je ne voit pas trop comment ça pourrait être un cas de légitime défense, d'après ce que je lis ils lui ont donné de multiples coup de pieds une fois à terre.. Ça craint

Qualche tempo fa Notepad++ finì nel mirino di un attacco piuttosto sofisticato: il meccanismo di aggiornamento automatico del programma venne compromesso da hacker legati a uno stato, che riuscirono a sostituire i file legittimi con versioni manomesse. Un episodio che aveva fatto parecchio rumore, e che il team di sviluppo aveva già iniziato ad affrontare nelle versioni precedenti.
Con la versione 8.9.2, il cerchio si chiude.
Il “doppio lucchetto” che protegge gli aggiornamentiIl problema originale stava nel fatto che il processo di aggiornamento non verificava in modo sufficientemente robusto l’autenticità dei file che scaricava. La risposta del team è stata costruire quello che loro stessi chiamano un sistema a “doppio blocco”: due verifiche indipendenti, una sull’altra.
La prima, già introdotta nella v8.8.9, riguarda il pacchetto di installazione scaricato da GitHub, che adesso viene verificato tramite firma digitale. La seconda, novità di questa 8.9.2, riguarda il file XML che il server di aggiornamento invia al programma per comunicargli che esiste una nuova versione: anche quello è ora firmato e verificato. In questo modo, anche se un malintenzionato riuscisse a intercettare uno dei due passaggi, l’altro blocco terrebbe.
Oltre a questo, anche WinGUp, il componente che gestisce gli aggiornamenti automatici, è stato irrobustito: rimossa la dipendenza da libcurl.dll (un vettore classico per attacchi di tipo DLL side-loading), eliminate due opzioni SSL considerate rischiose, e la gestione dei plugin è ora riservata esclusivamente ad applicazioni firmate con lo stesso certificato di Notepad++.
Cos’altro c’è nella 8.9.2Sul lato funzionalità, arriva la possibilità di “oscurare” una selezione di testo, utile ad esempio per condividere screenshot senza mostrare parti sensibili del documento. Completano il quadro alcune correzioni di stabilità e ulteriori fix di sicurezza.
Chi preferisce non usare l’aggiornamento automatico può escluderlo durante l’installazione oppure, per ambienti aziendali, distribuire il pacchetto MSI con il parametro NOUPDATER=1.

@elduvelle Si, c'est la question. C'est la question depuis le début. L'oligarchie française est en train de faire de l'abruti qui s'est fait tuer un Horst Wessel français.
Tu demandes pourquoi on est tous en colère à propos de cette histoire, et c'est la raison.
