  • Fwiw: signal is a honey pot, perhaps not by intent but by architecture.

    Security postures are driven by capabilities not intentions.

    Signal:

    • centralized
    • uses centralized push notifications
    • stores encryption keys in the cloud SVR

    Thus a three letter agency has the capability of breaking signal, even if they don’t intend to.

    As a thought experiment imagine you run the intelligence service of a non-us ally country (nk, Iran, China, Russia, etc) - would you in good faith recommend using signal, as is, for your classified and sensitive government communications?

    how to break signal

    SVR stores master key backed by a trivial pin, but uses Intel sgx enclaves to prevent brute forcing… a TLA just gets Intel to sign new code for the sgx enclave that allows brute forcing, runs it against the cloud data extracts master keys, and ta da all communication revealed.

    Signal allows people to store their master key using a random bip32 key, but even if you do this, none of your contacts will do this











  • Sure, but keto says it totally fine to eat a steak and a stick of butter and nothing else. That doesn’t seem sustainable.

    Yet it is, we only need to look at the documented human populations that only had access to animal food before westernization. They sustained, even thrived.

    Also I’ve never met anyone that does keto that allows any carbs.

    Keto is just metabolic ketosis, any biological state while the body is producing detectable levels of blood ketones. Anyone can achieve it <20g carbs per day, and many people have higher tolerances (age, muscle mass, resting metabolic rate etc).

    Just trying to offer insight into the down votes. I don’t think it’s the IF crew doing it. It’s probably people who are anti-keto.

    Which includes you… https://lemvotes.org/comment/sh.itjust.works/comment/23819049



  • You need fiber, friend. You. Need. Fiber.

    Citation please. As far as I’ve read fibre does two things:

    1. Anti-nutrient, when people eat terrible food fibre blunts it so it isn’t as terrible by preventing some of the bad food absorption

    2. Fibre is digested by the gut into short-chain fatty acids (SCA / BHB) which get absorbed through the gut, and has a boost to health in the area of absorption. However, in a ketogenic context the liver is making Ketones (BHB) all the time which gets deposited into the blood stream being available to the entire body including the gut… so this benefit is only seen in a carbohydrate metabolism, and not in keto.
