#Secure Message

[zee-man-chatter]

If you want your privacy, and who doesn't, the video explains how to skirt the impending internet control laws. Even if your communication is encrypted, that's futile because your computer OS gathers information once you get the message. Very education, might be a bit nerdy, but forewarned is forearmed!

Email Security

I received an email and text from Walgreens I'm fine with that. A statement on the email confirms that email and text is not secure.

"Email not encrypted

Please be aware that most standard email is not a secure means of communication and your protected health information that may be contained in our emails to you will not be encrypted. This means that there is risk that your protected health information in the emails could be intercepted and read by, or disclosed to, unauthorized third parties."

For those concerned about privacy Signal is a good choice.

Protecting Your Privacy: How to Find the Best Online Notes Sharing Platform

Sending and receiving secure message is of utmost importance in today's interconnected world. Whether you are sharing personal notes, sensitive business information, or collaborating on a top-secret project, ensuring the confidentiality of your messages is crucial.

With cyber threats constantly evolving, finding the best online notes-sharing platform that prioritizes your privacy without sacrificing usability is vital.

So, how can you ensure that your data remains protected while using these platforms? Let's explore the key factors to consider when searching for the best online notes-sharing platform that puts your privacy first:

Use a Platform that uses End-to-End Encryption

When it comes to keeping your online information private, end-to-end encryption is the best way to go. This special encryption makes sure that only the person sending the note and the person receiving it can read what's written inside without third party involvement. Neither the platform itself nor any hackers or other people can see the information.

So, when you're looking for a platform to share your notes, make sure it mentions end-to-end encryption in its security policy.

With this technology, you can feel confident that your shared notes are safe and can't be accessed by anyone else without your permission.

No Account Creation

Avoid platforms that require you to create an account or share personal information. Opt for services that allow you to share notes anonymously without any registration process.

By eliminating the need for account creation, you reduce the risk of your data being stored on the platform's servers. Remember, the fewer traces you leave, the better your privacy remains intact.

Offers Self-Destructing Feature

A self-destructing feature is a must-have for privacy-conscious individuals. This functionality automatically deletes the shared note after a specified period, which can range from a few seconds to a few minutes.

This way, even if someone gains access to the note, it won't be available for long. Always check if your chosen platform provides this essential privacy feature to ensure your messages are ephemeral and not stored indefinitely.

Single-Seen Option

If you want to share notes online while ensuring maximum privacy and security, consider using a platform that offers a Single-Seen option. This feature allows you to send a note that the recipient can only view once.

Once the note has been opened and read, it automatically becomes inaccessible and cannot be accessed again by anyone.

It adds an extra layer of privacy and prevents recipients from revisiting the note or sharing it with others. With the single-seen option, your shared content remains more secure and confidential.

Notification Tab to Let You Know if the Message is Read

To stay in control of your shared notes, opt for secure note-sharing platforms that offer a notification tab. This tab informs you when your recipient has read the note.

This feature is especially useful when sharing important or time-sensitive information, as it lets you know if the intended party has received and accessed the note.

By staying informed, you can take appropriate actions or follow up accordingly.

Conclusion:

Protecting your privacy online should be a top priority, and the notes-sharing platform you choose plays a significant role in maintaining confidentiality. Always prioritize platforms that utilize end-to-end encryption, allow note sharing without account creation, offer self-destructing features, implement a single-seen option, and provide notification tabs for read receipts.

Remember, not all online notes sharing platforms are created equal regarding privacy. Thoroughly research and compare different services before settling on one that aligns with your privacy needs.

By being cautious about your platforms and being aware of the available privacy features, you can share Private Text online with confidence and peace of mind!

The Sightstealer Saga: Part 1

It had been a regular day at Sparks; everybody was going about their chores as usual, with no way to guess the turn the day was about to take...

Boop, one of our cleansweeper mechanoids, was suddenly attacked by a terrifying figure that appeared as if from nowhere!! Fortunately, Boop recalled the many tales of Stabby the Roomba that it had heard and managed to "sweep the floor"—if you'll excuse the pun—with its sightstealer foe before limping back to the safety of our main walled-in area to be repaired.

Boop's heroic victory was seen as a declaration of war to all sightstealers nearby, but despite their knack for turning invisible, they were not very good at sneaking up on us and screamed hideous war cries so everybody knew they were coming.

Hopefully, we don't acquire an unexpected newborn from this sightstealer attack. We love Ivy to bits, but one adopted child is enough; thank you very much. Hear that, Randy? No new colonists!

*sigh* I suppose that's what I get for tempting fate...

Alistair was quick, but not quiiite quick enough to avoid a few claw-slashes on his arm. It's tricky for him to fight while running and also carrying a fifteen-year-old boy with the most impeccably groomed facial hair I've ever seen on anybody under thirty-five.

In the end, though, Alistair and Ludwig made it inside safely, and everybody ignored Ludwig in favour of welding Alistair back together first. Still, it doesn't sound like the ordeal is over yet. We've sealed the gates and holed up for a sightstealer siege. Stay tuned for The Sightstealer Saga Part Two!!

I've been doing some research on the most secure messaging apps, and the best I got is Signal. It's not owned by Meta. When subpoenad by the Supreme Court all they give is vague Metadata (which basicallymeans they got nothing). It's got end to end encryption (which basically means the data can't be read from one end to the other).

If you're an android user and you're texting an iPhone user, your messaging data is not secure.

If you're like "I WANT TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON BUT I WANT TO MAKE SURE MY COMMUNICATIONS ARE SECURE." This is how you do it. Just be sure you know that you trust whomever is in you're group messages.

Little Goody Two Shoes is a videogame where the horrible miserable tragic bloody regret-it-for-the-rest-of-your-life ending is "marry a rich man and have two children" and the beautiful light-filled golden endings include "run away with your girlfriend become an atheist stop wearing dresses and take up carpentry." and something about that makes me feel very seen.

YIPEE IT'S FINALLY DONE

spent the past like, month redrawing the sb cover art (original for side-by-side reference)

rambling under the cut

WOOO I'm so happy to finally have this done. I spent forever working on it, I wish I kept track but I'm pretty sure it took a month to fully finish, I've been working on it like every day for the past couple of weeks and I'm really happy to finally have it finished :D

I'm really proud of the rendering/shading on this one, the text was probably difficult which is why it looks the least accurate. I didn't want to just re-render it and re-draw the human characters so I changed the designs a little bit for this, first time I've drawn any of them. I thought it'd be fun to make their desgins fit a bit closer to the cartoony art around the pizzaplex and just smaller details I find fun.

(if monty is allowed to have spikes on his chest cavity i think freddy should be allowed fluff.. he looks so bald, if you count chica's feathers he's literally the only animatronic without hair LMAO)

I accidentally made some colors a bit more pastel or desaturated but overall I tried to replicate the rendering as well as I can, it was really good practice for understanding lighting better and stuff. (Roxy had like, 3 different color light sources I think? Monty had the most though..)

But anyway! I'm really happy I got this done so I can work on other stuff lol. I might use it for background stuff and I kept all the assets so I can edit them for pfps if i or other people want in the future.

Hope you enjoyed :)

On Personal InfoSec

Been awhile since I've had one of these posts but I figure with all that's going on in the world it's time to make another one of these posts and get some stuff out there for people. A lot of the information I'm going to go over you can find here:

So if you'd like to just click the link and ignore the rest of the post that's fine, I strongly recommend checking out the Privacy Guides.

Browsers:

There's a number to go with but for this post going forward I'm going to recommend Firefox. I know that the Privacy Guides lists Brave and Safari as possible options but Brave is Chrome based now and Safari has ties to Apple. Mullvad is also an option but that's for your more experienced users so I'll leave that up to them to work out.

Browser Extensions:

uBlock Origin: content blocker that blocks ads, trackers, and fingerprinting scripts. Notable for being the only ad blocker that still works on Youtube.

Privacy Badger: Content blocker that specifically blocks trackers and fingerprinting scripts. This one will catch things that uBlock doesn't catch but does not work for ads.

Facebook Container: "but I don't have facebook" you might say. Doesn't matter, Meta/Facebook still has trackers out there in EVERYTHING and this containerizes them off away from everything else.

Bitwarden: Password vaulting software, don't trust the password saving features of your browsers, this has multiple layers of security to prevent your passwords from being stolen.

ClearURLs: Allows you to copy and paste URL's without any trackers attached to them.

VPN:

Note: VPN software doesn't make you anonymous, no matter what your favorite youtuber tells you, but it does make it harder for your data to be tracked and it makes it less open for whatever network you're presently connected to.

Mozilla VPN: If you get the annual subscription it's ~$60/year and it comes with an extension that you can install into Firefox.

Proton VPN: Has easily the most amount of countries serviced, can take cash payments, and does offer port forwarding.

Email Provider:

Note: By now you've probably realized that Gmail, Outlook, and basically all of the major "free" e-mail service providers are scraping your e-mail data to use for ad data. There are more secure services that can get you away from that but if you'd like the same storage levels you have on Gmail/Outlook.com you'll need to pay.

Proton Mail: Secure, end-to-end encrypted, and fairly easy to setup and use. Offers a free option up to 1gb

Tuta: Secure, end-to-end encrypted, been around a very long time, and offers a free option up to 1gb.

Email Client:

Thunderbird if you're on Windows or Linux

Apple Mail if you're on macOS

Cloud Storage:

Proton Drive: Encrypted cloud storage from the same people as Proton Mail.

Tresorit: Encrypted cloud storage owned by the national postal service of Switzerland. Received MULTIPLE awards for their security stats.

Peergos: decentralized and open-source, allows for you to set up your own cloud storage, but will require a certain level of expertise.

Microsoft Office Replacements:

LibreOffice: free and open-source, updates regularly, and has the majority of the same functions as base level Microsoft Office.

OnlyOffice: cloud-based, free, and open source.

Chat Clients:

Note: As you've heard SMS and even WhatsApp and some other popular chat clients are basically open season right now. These are a couple of options to replace those.

Signal: Provides IM and calling securely and encrypted, has multiple layers of data hardening to prevent intrusion and exfil of data.

Molly (Android OS only): Alternative client to Signal. Routes communications through the TOR Network.

Briar: Encrypted IM client that connects to other clients through the TOR Network, can also chat via wifi or bluetooth.

Now for the last bit, I know that the majority of people are on Windows or macOS, but if you can get on Linux I would strongly recommend it. pop_OS, Ubuntu, and Mint are super easy distros to use and install. They all have very easy to follow instructions on how to install them on your PC and if you'd like to just test them out all you need is a thumb drive to boot off of to run in demo mode.

If you game through Steam their Proton emulator in compatibility mode works wonders, I'm presently playing a major studio game that released in 2024 with no Linux support on it and once I got my drivers installed it's looked great. There are some learning curves to get around, but the benefit of the Linux community is that there's always people out there willing to help.

I hope some of this information helps you and look out for yourself, it's starting to look scarier than normal out there.
