  • Google and Reddit deal, it’s not like they are going to promote alternatives forums that much

    There is more than one search engine in the sea.

    And that would be an argument if it weren’t for a completely broken CEO headers in the web interface. I can’t attach a screenshot because I changed the web in my copy to the Photon. In general, there are tons of SEO mistakes. At least according to Yandex Webmaster page.

    UPD: for example api don’t have robots.txt method. As result I generate new pages lists for best search optimization with self written script…



  • It all depends on the writing time. if you have about a year, it will be difficult to make something truly breakthrough.

    For example, we can question the modified Harvard architecture of modern processors. But creating an alternative architecture based on a modern set of hardware may be a bit of a difficult choice for a thesis.


  • The industry has not acquired a single standard by now. In this regard, there are many different devices on different protocols. Many manufacturers generally link their devices only to their own cloud.

    Of the popular open standards, I would recommend zigbee. But in order for the device to be correctly identified, its sensors and parameters must be supported by the server. Zigbee2MQTT is a good choice. I use it myself. But the compatibility is not complete and you need to check the support on the developer’s website ( https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/supported-devices/ ) or buy one device for the test.

    I recommend Tuya company. I have about 12 switches from this company and they work pretty well with zigbee2mqtt.

    The complete scheme is as follows: zigbee device <-> radio channel <-> zigbee coordimator <-> zigbee2mqtt <-> mqtt <-> homeassistant. For connect devices to zigbee2mqtt you need coordinator. SONOFF ZBDongle-E for example. Add zigbee routers if you have big square. If you server not in good place you can use wifi2zigbee coordinator. HamGeek poe zigbee 3.0 for example.





  • Mercy so easy only in low ranks.

    If you have good move you can do teamkill by mercy under ultimate skill… Especially if your DPS no have damage. In overwatch you should kill by any role, but in healer mode you should don’t die at first, heal you team at second and do damage in third. That’s true less for mercy, because she has damage increase bean and you should change to it for support ultimates for example, but more on Birgit or for new healers.

    And with tank too. You should protect your team, know all mechanics and do damage for enemies. For example sigma, you can eat Moira orb and Zarya ultimate skill by bullet protection skill. that is literally black hole. And if tank don’t do that you team in pain. And if you don’t damage targets you team lose.

    But Overwatch bad example because that more arcade shooter. Many moves depend by skills, not for headshots. You literally have melee characters without any targeting.


  • But all of that aside, Telegram has none of these things. Telegram is straight-up unencrypted with their default chats and group chats. Telegram is absolute dogshit.

    So, that’s why they call PUBLIC chats in first place. In private chats all work exactly like in signal (DH end-to-end crypto with key verifying). But after 5 years some journalist finally read the documentation and newspapers was exploded. I known that from first day.

    Telegram also honestly declares that there is no need to rely on anyone in matters of privacy. For example: We do not store customer IP, says signal developers. And how should I check it? Teleram just honestly says, “You have an mtproto proxy, build any kind of proxying chains and we won’t even theoretically know your address.” Feel the difference.

    And I still don’t understand why MITM can’t just match two DH keys so that Alice and Bob’s signature checks match. But maybe I just don’t understand the cryptography chain well.

    I don’t want tell that signal have bad crypto or telegram greates private messager. I say that all of that messengers have same security in private messages. Yes, signal support group private chats too, but that’s all. And if anyone can’t read docs, that not a telegram problem.







  • I don’t see how this makes it less secure than Telegram.

    Telegram less secure than signal in normal chats. Key saved on server side and, technically, anyone can read all messages. That’s argument was used when men says that telegram don’t secure some time ago.

    But what kind of secure you expect? Random admin in your internet provider can’t read telegram and signal messages anyway. Messengers developers can’t read signal messages in base case, but can read telegram public chats. That’s true.

    But what happened if we go to next level and check telegram 1 to 1 crypto chats vs signal chats. Signal chats can read messenger developers with basic hack (add one more person in chat and collect messages on disk). Or can read FBI by law. That mean in signal, as in telegram public, all work on trust, not in cryptography. Telegram 1to1 chats only 1to1. No one can’t access to that (without change keys). And for best secure rekeing happens every 100 messages or 1 week. And one more, you can register telegram account without number and hide your IP with mtproto-proxy. That’s why Durov arrested in frist place. And after that men tell that signal more secure then telegram… An what place?


  • Telegrams servers are not open source. Telegram client is. If you make a back door in a messaging software, you’d want to do it server-side which means the users can’t tell if it’s backdoored as Telegram’s server’s source code is not available.

    That’s why cryptography don’t trust ANY server side. For example signal server software can be don’t same as github signal server software. And that’s why alice and bob in crypto chats can check keys after handshake through server. But in signal you crypto for chat rooms with multiple clients. Can you check how much client in you chat? I don’t find how. In telegram you always know that 1to1chat only 1to1.

    Alternatively; Signal’s server code is open source, so if they put a backdoor in it they’d either have to lie to their users, or publish the back door in their code.

    And what problem with that?

    P.S. For example system of technical means to ensure the functions of operational investigative measures installed an all mobile operators anywhere. But someone tell you something about that? No. Because that a law, not backdor.


  • I’m sure my government can collect any data they want if they’re determined enough

    Exactly. But telegram destroy basic tracking paradigm. You can register on really fake number for example, byed thought TON coin. That’s why Durov arrested in the first place.

    And that really good for drug dealers. Or for russian opposition who don’t go out from Russia.

    P.S. And experts check only Crypto part, by the way. What really happening on signal servers who known. In that part telegram con’t connect anyone to 1to1 chat (but maybe can hack keys. But I cant approve that after check client source code), but signal can convert that chat to 3 persons and connect logger without problems.



  • And why? because no one do that in real? So, you see on it different if you life or your freedom depends on the messenger. No all countries looks like EU. In my Android phone self compiled linphone and self compiled telegram client. That’s my reality.

    P.S. On the other hand, apple still fulfills all the requirements of the Russian authorities in the Russian store. By the way, the store works great. Why do you think that the same thing is not being done in other countries?
