I’m so torn by this one… assuming he did it, if it wasn’t about killing the very assuming asshole that got shot, he should not get free because of a technicality. I mean if it was another rando that committed a crime against a lambda not one would cheer about a criminal escaping justice due to a technicality. Or so I hope. But since the guy who was shot down was feasting on misery it’s a very tempting thing to wish for. Personally I would rather that we got the jury thingy where they all agree that no crime was committed instead or something along those lines I don’t remember the specifics about nullification.

Let’s leave it at that, I’m getting the feeling that this isn’t worth the energy.

And my point is on explaining the reason driving persons to those models, not excusing anything but you seem not to grasp that distinction either so here we are.

Those are very much unrelated issues. What’s the relation with plagiarism and the very likely inaccurate / incorrect response on this topic? Not even mentioning that a lot of times an imperfect tool or solution is better that no solution.

I’m sure it’s much better to take your mental health to discord… to a bunch of certainly qualified anonymous… talk about being responsible ^^

Yeah but that’s called life as an adult. Also excusing isn’t the same as explaining. Sometimes (or even oftentimes it seems) we do shit ou of lack of reasonable choices.

Because an actual professional has 2 months of delays for an initial appointment and charges €80 a session? Also social stigma of consulting ? Especially for males… At least these are my top 3 for not going to a licensed professional. So I personally understand, to an extent, those persons.

It’s going to be a fun world without arts and philosophy…

And bravo to 18yo kids that have all that planned. Not sur life is set on rails and all for most of us. Sure didn’t feel that way for me. Or about everyone around me.

Only 29 months?! That’s a bit wasteful unless it’s being handed down…

And what I shared was based on my personal involvement on the topic. As I said somewhere in the thread my expertise is limited to one country in Europe so the legal framework is vastly different but the more human and technological considerations are likely very transferable. And indeed there are criteria for warrants but that would be subject to interpretation at all steps plus not everything goes via warrants. Judge being lenient isn’t also accounting for their own metrics and perspectives. And additionally a whole lot of my personal issues would be related to how data, even when acquired both legitimately and with some regard for ethics, is handled. And that needs to be addressed by police forces and their providers.

But then you need to trust another party which is just moving the problem along…

Ah no I was assuming we need privacy for everyone… but this would work as well. When working in responsible disclosure this is very much a problem. You want those channels open as wide as possible and as easy as possible.

And to a large extent I suspect boomers were a bit more into systems and protocols than the new gens.

But keep on…

You should consider reviewing your baseline to integrate actual persons. Some need help to use WhatsApp so go figure how they would fare with most of those.

Users don’t need to configure email that’s kind of the point… and the receiving side of most of your techs still had to eventually setup the server side right? Adminforge is Linux tutorials, hardly something for the basic user. And disroot has not the best reputation if I can trust the few top links in my search results due to its gtc where they mentioned that they would collaborate in criminal investigations as well.

That’s definitively not how they work in Europe and even though I’m not expert in other regions I assume that it’s absolutely not the case in USA either. Technologically there’s no solutions fully preserving everyone’s privacy hence the importance of the local culture. But if the current practices improve with the likes of the controls I mentioned I would say that it would be good enough.

Damn. They didn’t seem so wild especially compared to the flow of yours. All mediums / techs you listed are complex technologies that take efforts to setup. Compared to the ubiquitousness of email. How do you propose to make that as available to the baseline human being?

Aren’t most of those requiring dedicated setup? How does that work without a pre-existing communication channel such as email to prep for them? You walk to every party you need to integrate?

At the very least have controls in place ensuring disposal of data when court cases are fully processed to the full extent of appeals possibilities. Not allowing broad requests such as « everyone that connected to a given antenna for a month » or even « all connections toward NET or ASN whatever ». Additionally have the data fully isolated, removing all possibilities to cross use data initially granted for a purpose. I could go on for a while… It’s all a balance though, sometimes reuse leads to solving unrelated cases but it’s bound to the imperfections of local authorities everywhere one’s data can be requested.

Maybe with symmetric fiber and if the electricity prices lower I’ll go back to that. Before the advent of convenient and cheap providers we had ou webservers, irc servers and some game servers at home… but the cost of that and the additional maintenance nightmare makes that less desirable than having OVH doing it all for me…

Shitty managers are already breathing down your neck though, they didn’t exactly wait for this piece to be major annoyances….
