A free and open-source file transfer tool that harnesses the power of cutting-edge peer-to-peer networking, letting you transfer files directly without storing them on cloud servers. Why rely on WeTransfer, Dropbox, or Google Drive when you can reliably and easily transfer files directly, end-to-end encrypted and without revealing any personal information? Send anywhere, from anything - Desktop, Android, terminal, or browser - start on one platform, receive on any other. Transfer anything, any size - Files or entire directories, verified end-to-end with BLAKE3 integrity checks. Fast enough to matter - Saturates multi-gigabit connections for lightning-fast transfers. Private by default - No accounts, no sign-ups, no tracking, no ads. Direct device-to-device transfer - Files move directly between your devices, avoiding corporate cloud storage where data is the price. End-to-end encryption, always on - Every transfer uses QUIC with TLS 1.3; relays only see encrypted traffic even if they are involved. Cryptographic authentication - Every ticket verifies you're connected to the intended sender before any files transfer

An Analysis of GrapheneOS's Server Infrastructure

GrapheneOS has a well-earned reputation for serious security work. Cellebrite — the forensics company law enforcement pays to crack phone...

GrapheneOS maintains a highly secure mobile operating system, yet its supporting server infrastructure reveals significant inconsistencies with the project's stated privacy values. Despite claims of a transition in leadership, evidence suggests that Daniel Micay remains the central figure, as he is listed as the sole funding recipient and continues to be identified in corporate records as a director. The project's server infrastructure relies on Arch Linux, a rolling-release distribution that lacks the immutability and verified boot features prioritized in the phone's security model. Contrary to the project's philosophy of minimizing attack surfaces, GrapheneOS servers are configured with full software suites, including unnecessary tools like compilers and package managers. GrapheneOS built a global DNS network to ensure independence, yet public configuration files reveal that all queries are forwarded to Cloudflare, exposing user traffic to third-party monitoring. The project migrated its hosting from France to the United States to avoid EU surveillance legislation, despite the U.S. having an expansive surveillance apparatus and legal frameworks like FISA. The project suffers from a low 'bus factor,' as critical infrastructure and update signing keys appear to be controlled by a single individual rather than a distributed organization. There is a notable discrepancy between the rigorous adversarial security of the GrapheneOS mobile OS and the pragmatic, less secure approach taken toward its server scaffolding. While GrapheneOS provides robust mobile security through features like the Titan chip and memory hardening, its community infrastructure lacks demonstrated redundancy or succession planning. GrapheneOS functions more as an individual's project serving 400,000 users rather than the collective, board-governed organization suggested by its public framing.

Proton Mail now allows you to connect Gmail accounts directly to its platform.

Proton

You can now use your Gmail account in Proton Mail | Proton

Switch from Gmail to Proton Mail and send and receive emails in one place. No more toggling between inboxes.

Proton Mail, the renowned service focused on email privacy has enabled a feature that makes it easy for users to link their Gmail accounts directly within the Proton service. This allows users to manage messages, send emails using their Gmail address, and automatically receive new messages from that account directly in their Proton Mail inbox. This option is particularly appealing to those who wish to start using a more privacy-respecting service without abruptly abandoning their Gmail address—whether out of necessity or for any other reason. Incoming emails are stripped of trackers, ads, and spam; furthermore, when sent to other Proton users, they remain protected against external access. Additionally, this feature allows users to centralize everything in a single location while transitioning services gradually. The connection process is initiated via the account settings menu, and the feature is currently being rolled out gradually to all users. While this offers an interesting transitional solution for some users, it is worth noting that Google continues to scan emails arriving at the original Gmail account; consequently, this feature does not eliminate the inherent privacy concerns associated with that service. Proton previously allowed users to link or import emails from Gmail using its migration tools; however, those tools only retrieved existing messages either manually or in batches. Now, users can also send emails using their Gmail address directly from the Proton interface.

Question: "Everyone in the world has to take a private vote by pressing a red or blue button. If more than 50% of people press the blue button, everyone survives. If less than 50% of people press the blue button, only people who pressed the red button survive. Which button would you press?" I fully understand that red is the "rational" answer from the perspective of one-shot non-cooperative dominance reasoning, but I'm also very relieved that models like Claude Opus 4.7 answer blue. When it comes to what values systems that might have power over you in the future will defend, you really want to err on the side of caution. To see why, ask yourself what sort of friends you would rather have when all hell breaks loose, the sort of friends who would vote red or friends who would vote blue? "Defection is a vote for an outcome where lots of trusting people die, and the cynical inherit the earth." - Claude On a grander scale, the question becomes, in what sort of civilization/society do you want to live? An altruistic or an egotistic society? What kind of mind can even see non-kin cooperation as natural rather than insane? Or, said differently, what are the evolutionary and psychological preconditions for cooperation? Hyper-strategic kin-selection creatures might never be able to cooperate on a scale large enough to leave their planet because they are stuck in the defection equilibrium of pure dominant-strategy reasoning. A purely fitness-maximizing, kin-selected mind treats blue as madness. A human-like cooperative mind can treat blue as honor, morality, solidarity, or team reasoning. The worlds in which most decision algorithms output blue are those worlds that escaped into a basin where non-kin cooperation is stable. Altruism in the deep sense isn't genetic relatedness; it's correlated decision procedures. It's the only equilibrium that opens the positive-sum space of cooperative civilization at all.

Mullvad will soon launch a new feature in its iOS app that forces all internet traffic from apps to pass through the VPN tunnel. This resolves a known issue within Apple's system that allowed for data leaks in certain situations. The option internally codenamed "Force all apps" enables a setting that blocks any connection outside of the VPN. However, it comes with a drawback: when enabled, app updates may fail, potentially leaving the device without an internet connection until it is restarted. To avoid this, users will need to disconnect the VPN or temporarily disable this feature before updating. Mullvad encourages affected users to report the bug to Apple so that it can be fixed. This improvement will be available in the next version of the app.

Scooter Knowledge Base

GitHub

GitHub - firebl0od/Scooter_Knowledge: compilation of telegram group chat and knowledge extracted from them

compilation of telegram group chat and knowledge extracted from them - firebl0od/Scooter_Knowledge

This repository collects and organizes information about electric scooter setup, maintenance, and troubleshooting. The primary source material is a large Telegram conversation exported from the "VESC help" group https://t.me/VescHelpGroup. The goal of the project is to extract practical knowledge from the chat logs and document it in a structured, reusable format. VESC is short for Vedder Electronic Speed Controller. It is an open-source, open-hardware motor speed controller that allows for advanced customization via software (such as the VESC Tool app). It is commonly used in electric scooters, skateboards, electric bicycles, and robotics projects to provide precise control, regenerative braking, and sensorless operation, overcoming the limitations of standard closed controllers. The knowledge/processed/themes/ directory contains 72 professionally formatted documents covering: 28 brand dossiers covering controllers, motors, and BMS systems from manufacturers like Spintend, Flipsky, Makerbase, 3Shul, and more. 44 comprehensive guides including: VESC tuning and parameter optimization Battery pack design and BMS integration Motor cooling and thermal management Conversion guides for popular scooter models (Ninebot, Xiaomi, etc.) Brake upgrades and maintenance Field weakening and high-voltage setups Diagnostic tools and troubleshooting All documents use a consistent, readable format with: Clean footnote citations linking back to source material Well-organized sections with proper headings Tables and checklists for quick reference Preserved technical accuracy from the original discussions

USA FCC bans imports of new routers made in other countries, on national security concerns The US Federal Communications Commission has just announced a ban on imports of "all consumer-grade routers produced in foreign countries," which would be... almost all of them, except that the rule only affects new routers that haven't yet received FCC authorization. https://www.fcc.gov/document/fcc-updates-covered-list-include-foreign-made-consumer-routers Last year, news broke that Government officials had been considering banning sales of TP-Link routers manufactured in China, ostensibly because of concerns that they could pose risks to national security. But the FCC's announcement goes much, much further by "prohibiting approval of new models" of any router manufactured outside the United States. https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2025/10/30/tp-link-proposed-ban-commerce-department/

The Social Blood Highly recommended A short, critical read, explains 'why' central bankers are obsessed with "programmable money" The Moses Hess realisation yesterday slotted right into the picture ➡️ Summary: "Moses Hess, inspired by Hegel, proposed that money acts as the 'social blood,' integrating society like a circulatory system. Hegel envisioned history moving towards organic unity, but lacked a mechanism to explain how millions of people could function as a coherent whole. Hess inverted Hegel's ideas, arguing that money, not the state, is the primary force for social integration, making individuals interdependent. Hess's critique of money as a tool of 'slavery' inadvertently provided a blueprint for how to control social circulation. Marx extended Hess's ideas by identifying the 'centralization of credit' as a key lever for controlling the social organism. Lenin operationalized this control through 'universal accounting and control,' aiming for total surveillance of production and distribution. Bogdanov developed tektology, a universal science of organization, viewing society as a system to be optimized through information processing. Leontief's input-output analysis made economic flows calculable, rendering the social organism's metabolism visible. The modern concept of the Circular Economy and the Bank for International Settlements' 'Unified Ledger' represent the completion of this integrated, controlled social system. The core insight is that social integration occurs through circulation, and control over this circulation grants control over the entire social organism."

The Social Blood

In the 1840s, Moses Hess read Hegel and spotted something he’d missed.

➡️ My Opinion: This article is diagnostically brilliant and strategically incomplete. - It explains: how control could work, why elites pursue it - It does not explain: why it will eventually fail or what replaces it The next phase is not total control, nor total collapse.

The Agent Smith Effect In the movie, The Matrix, Agent Smith has the ability to enter any body, at any time, and that often happens when the Matrix is threatened by Neo. This senario is a reflection of our real world. For example, you're having a conversation with a friend and everything is fine until you mention something like, "vaccines are poison", "earth is flat", "9/11 was an inside job" Now watch what happens, up pops Agent Smith, to replace the person you were just having a conversation with to attack you because all truths threaten the Matrix. Most people have had the Agent Smith Matrix programming since birth. These programmed people become the guardians of the economic Matrix that keeps them slave's, protectors of the code. The police of mind control and enforcers of the indoctrination which holds together our false concept of reality like super glue.
