Large Language Models (LLMs) are being distributed across many devices and platforms. Having these models available on-device can help reduce the need for sending private data to cloud-hosted systems.
At the @w3c member meeting last month in #Hiroshima 🇯🇵, Chunhui Mo (Huawei) explored what it would take to expose these LLMs to #WebApps through a Web #API and the advantages it could bring in terms of #privacy, #security and #performance.
In the evolving digital landscape, "Identity on the Web" is crucial for online interaction, #privacy and #security.
At the @w3c member meeting in #Hiroshima 🇯🇵, Heather Flanagan, co-chair of the newly created W3C Federated Identity #WorkingGroup discussed challenges in establishing a common understanding of #identity and explored this topic's technological, social, and #ethical dimensions in relation to the W3C’s mission.
Giving @librewolf a try. I like the idea of a browser specifically hardened against browser fingerprinting and tracking. Runs all of my existing Firefox plugins with no problems
After putting my account into "hibernation" for the past few weeks, I finally closed it. But I'm still looking for work. Thankfully I can still find positions (SRE and software dev) by just going directly to the company's site and finding a Jobs page.
Good luck to everyone else out there looking for work!
I'm still kinda new to Linux (started using this year 😅) I already made it to my main OS, even if I still missing some things which I used on Windows, anyway. What I wanted to ask you guys, what recommendations do you have for Linux Mint (Cinnamon)? In terms of security, optimization, (a way to make the UI looking modern ;-;) and privacy? I would be very interested in what you do guys to optimize your Linux setup :) I'm pretty technical, so there is nothing which could overwhelm me (probaly).

All self-aware communities on #Fediverse should suspend #Threads just as @aral has done. There's no need for a toxic corporate experiment with the aim to expand the monetisation of #HumanRights violations. #Privacy
Tuta, PeerTube is an #OpenSource video platform that is an alternative to YouTube.
Please provide a PeerTube option for people that do not want to support Google.
PeerTube has a feature that allows you to automatically import all the content from your YouTube channel and also synchronize the channels so that when a new video is published to YouTube it is automatically published to #PeerTube.
The wave of new AI tools comes with a ton of new #privacy concerns.
A new website where you can upload a photo to identify people shows it’s not limited to those who use AI themselves. And it shows why you should avoid giving your data to random companies.
Good news! Brave for Android now let's u use your favorite uBlock Origin Blocklists!
Under Settings > Brave Shields & privacy
Can you now add custom filterlists and edit Brave's default selection of the already avaible filterlists. Some of you now that this was possible before too (via brave://adblock) but at this time it had no UI and wasn't a official feature, now you can easily add, remove and customize fiterlists via the the settings.
Blocking variations.brave.com which is used for A/B testing could potentially break Brave's functionalities. For me did Brave's "forgetful browsing" feature broke which seems to be disabled by default if you block this domain.

Federated wireguard network idea
Any feedback welcome.
Let's keep things stupidly simple and simply hash the domain name to get a unique IPv6 ULA prefix.
Then we would need a stupidly simple backend application to automatically fetch pubkeys and endpoints from DNS and make a request to add each others as peers.
Et voilà, you got a worldwide federated wireguard network resolving private ULA addresses. Sort of an internet on top of the internet .
The DNS entries with the public IPv4 / IPv6 addresses could even be delegated to other domains / endpoints which would act as reverse proxy (either routing or nesting tunnels) for further privacy.
Maybe my approach is too naïve and there are flaws I haven't considered, so don't be afraid to comment.
A article about if Ecosia is really a private search engine.
I did spend a lot a time to analyze and investigate Ecosia, I hope this article helps people to better understand how private is Ecosia really and which are the downsides of it. Is the first article I ever written, so it isn't perfect. I'm open for feedback!
So, I'm interested how the implementation of "Perfect Forward Secrecy" in Signal looks like, like does every messages has a different encryption key? or does it change over time like #whatsapp does? I tried to find any official documention of this, sadly did not find anything.
Thats why I'm asking, does anyone of you know smth about this and maybe can provide a link to a official source?
