depends on the chain in question. some used iMessage as a way in, but (at least in the case i'm thinking of rn) it was only used to trigger an image parsing bug. in others, sms was used to trick someone into clicking a link, exploiting a bug in JavaScriptCore.

tu: "how do you think pegasus works"

you could have at least picked a different cyberwarfare company...

by that logic, every OS under the sun has massive backdoors. bugs exist, man. my point was that for the average person, a fully-patched ithing is going to be among the more secure options.

the codebase itself? besides XNU, nobody... but, given the immense amount of scrutiny placed on the software, if there was some magic backdoor (an intentional one, anyway, not talking about like NSO group RCEs 'n shit), don't you think we'd know?

the average person doesn't even know what grapheneos is. if they're either going to buy an iphone, or some generic android phone running a vendor kernel that hasn't been patched this administration, i'd want them to buy the iphone.

where's the shovel and double-ziplocs to bury your cash, silver, gold, platinum, and palladium? or the zippo to burn your prints off? get on my level, ho

shit i forgot about that, thank you for the reminder

thank you! the bananapi should be here tomorrow. maybe a video this sunday if i have time? idk

not familiar, though i'm not much of a horror guy myself

i'm gonna assume based on context it's the kind of work my senior-year english teacher would have spent two classes having us discuss the meaning behind the punctuation (or lack thereof) and capitalization, with my attention divided between i have redacted this for several reasons...

no problem! i'm frequently described as "abrasive" so i guess what goes around comes around...

i do appreciate the CSS tip(s) -- that stylesheet is a few years old with many alterations over time, so there are bunch of weird hacks that i'm not even sure why they're there. off the top of my head, for some reason the header is a div-within-a-div: #header and #header_internal. no idea why. :P

a man of few words

yeah, it's pretty unoptimized for mobile. on my todo list.

where does firefox complain about that?

also i should change the license footer, you're right

yeah, i prefer lowercase as i find it comes off more casual / authentic

shit, i am a hipster, aren't i

of course! probably not as frequently as i should. i oughta do a patch-job sometime tho...

hipster stubbornness

or a lengthy argument about how language is whatever we make it, pick your poison

soz :P

I COULD MAKE IT ALL UPPERCASE IF THAT'S BETTER SPV.SH/BLOG/POSTS/LIVING_FOSS_UPPERCASE.MD

EDIT: UPPERCASE

thank you! html pandoc template + nginx; i write my pages in markdown.

fellow u-console owner! i have the a-06. the modem is shite, in my experience. i can't say for sure but i'd guess it's arm. the pinephone (pro) uses the eg25-g (as i discuss in the article), which runs an android bootloader, older linux kernel, and generic gnu(?) userland. the bootloader, kernel, and userland are all FOSS (well, they can be flashed to be, anyway). the ADSP (the code that directly interfaces with the radios) is proprietary, for practical and regulatory reasons. this doesn't really effect my threat model, as i assume that anything a sophisticated attacker could glean from an ADSP backdoor they could much more easily glean through the radio traffic itself. the TZ (arm trustzone) firmware is also proprietary, for technical reasons. iirc it's signed by ARM, but this is just off the top of my head, so don't quote me! or do, i'm not your dad...

<3

you hate lower-case or monospace? hopefully not dr seuss, too, or shoo, shoo, you!

i tried to build a risc-v smartphone but the ox64 is a pita and i gave up, lol using an ARM core for that project now (once i get my damned shipment)
