anyone in Europe want to trade 12 x 16GB (192GB) DDR4 UDIMM (Samsung M391A2K43BB1) for some number of DDR4 RDIMM? ideally at least 128GB worth @npub1xswc...yq8t is building a replacement proxmox server in Amsterdam for disobey.net and it needs RDIMM, and RAM prices right now are so terrible ๐Ÿ˜Ÿ image
Please share with the community (and me) which #decentralized chat apps for iOS/iPadOS have been compiled with hardware MTE for the A19/M5 iPhone/iPad devices ๐Ÿ˜
Apple confirms that the M5 chip in the MacBook Pro and iPad Pro supports Memory Integrity Enforcement (MIE) MTE specifically is only supported on A19 and newer, including M5 image
Apple announced Memory Integrity Enforcement 42 days ago, @npub1rkw6...5q62 has not yet announced MIE support for A19 and M5
Iโ€™m at #FediForum in #Rotterdam at @npub159r5...xrh2 with @npub1drf5...fpxa and @npub1zlef...j2yy and other friends!
i hope [@techlore]( ) or @npub12w65...2axu talks about Apple's new MIE (A19) to help spread the word about it. journalists, activists, politicians, lawyers all need to better understand the value of exploit mitigations, especially ones that significantly reduce successful attack chains by mercenary spyware companies. if you had to choose between MIE or Lockdown Mode, you want MIE also, MIE significantly helps Apple determine attempted attacks made against iPhones, leading to faster notifications if your're a victim of mercenary spyware
a #ChatControl update (shared on the ISOC "Global Encryption Coalition" mailing list): "The good news is that the blocking minority held. Members states raised concerns about privacy and cybersecurity as reasons for their opposition. Even countries that are officially in support of the proposal asked questions along these lines for the first time โ€“ showing that they are facing increased pressure back home. The bad news is that #Denmark is moving forward even though they did not receive full support. They are keeping their plan to take this proposal to the Justice and Home Affairs Council meeting on October 14th. After discussing with partners, we understand this as a strategy from Denmark. They are not making progress at the working level (the meeting today) and therefore will try directly at the political level (justice and home affairs). During these coming four weeks they will try to convince some of the blocking member states to reconsider their position. What this means for us is that we need to keep up the pressure. We should be thanking the blocking countries for their position and encouraging the undecided or supportive countries to reconsider. We should keep up pressure in the media at the same time."
