  • Signal-Desktop

    A private messenger for Windows, macOS, and Linux.

    • OT and tinfoil hat on; there was a strange event last week with users of Signal on the Telia ISP.[1]

    For about 24 hours no messages could be sent, resulting in a 401 unauthorized error from the server side.

    Telia is the former state-owned Swedish ISP that is now only half state-owned I believe.

    They have a bad rep already for sending out extortion letters to torrent users and are almost assumed to be monitoring all user traffic for the police.

    No explanation of the event has been provided by anyone. Users have done some basic troubleshooting but couldn't really establish much. I personally would love to see what those 401 errors looked like on the Signal server side. What exactly were these clients sending that was unauthorized on the server side? I guess we'll never know, hopefully it wasn't even stored.

  • hashlink

    An IETF specification for cryptographic hyperlinking (by w3c-ccg)

    • What's missing is a way to pin web apps so that you always get the previous version (and can opt in to subsequent versions after checking their hash from a trusted source).

    There is a clever way of doing this, using a bookmarklet, a dataURI, and SRI, but the UX isn't great.[0] If something like Hashlinks[1] were supported by browsers, though, this could work quite nicely.
