> Telegram: Best UI Hard no. Have you tried activating encryption in personal chats?

It's not really a middle ground if you're not testing your service in the same conditions as in production environment. If you're not testing integration with Kafka, and the producer, your service is still lacking integration

I agree with this. At work we use both approaches but at different levels of the test pyramid. To test integration with 1 dependency at class level we can use test containers. But to test the integration of the whole microservice with other

Instagram and WhatsApp could have remained independent, but they were acquired by Facebook. This suggests that anti-monopoly laws may not be effective.

Interesting. What I was most curious about are the backups of the database. Couldn't find any mention of it.

But a lot of the question /responses could be trivial cached. No need to run expensive LLM every time for the same basic "how are you today?" prompts, it only has to be cached once.

I'm also wondering if they send data to the Russian Yandex search engine as they have an agreement to have this search engine by default in some countries ?

Oh, salut ! (Romanian "salut" not French "salut", lol) It's indeed still useful when traveling to those countries that speak these languages. But that's mere few weeks per year. English could have worked anyway

As someone fluent in four languages*, I agree. I would even argue that the opposite of an advantage is true. Consider this: it adds unnecessary cognitive load. When trying to think of a word, it comes to you in four different languages, whi

Sure thing. But thinking about security in depth, default E2E encryption is an additional layer of security that is lacking in Telegram.

by AdrenalinMd 3y ago
My point is precisely this: With robust end-to-end encryption in place, there's no need to rely on the trustworthiness of the backend. Unfortunately, Telegram lacks this feature, making it untrustworthy. Even with Telegram's encry

? You may still find the dump of messages online. Is this enough of a proof for you? Something that wouldn't happen if those officials were using WhatsApp or another app that has E2E encryption by default. https://www.wired

The argument regarding "source code" is misleading and not entirely relevant. It's worth noting that Telegram's backend is also closed source, yet its supporters often overlook this fact. Decompiling and inspecting mobil

Be cautious when using Telegram for important matters. I recently examined a situation where confidential messages from high-ranking Moldovan officials were leaked through Telegram. Unlike WhatsApp and Signal, which offer end-to-end encrypt

>WhatsApp backs up your encryption key to Google Drive by default, meaning it's far from end-to-end encryption. This is a lie[1]. If you don't enable backups yourself, you loose your messages. You can enable E2E encryption for

I wonder how accurate those numbers are about Edge. As 79.48% of desktop users in Moldova are on Windows 10 and Windows 11. [1] Microsoft Edge is the default web browser on Windows 10, Windows 11. [2] Meaning at a huge amount of population

Microsoft signed a deal in 2015 to set Yandex as the default search engine in several countries close to Russia. The article mentions "Kazakhstan, Turkey, and Ukraine". The list is not exhaustive, as I know about Moldova and Georg

>They can't. The messages are encrypted on the servers and their keys are split between multiple jurisdictions. No engineer can decrypt messages. You really don't get why E2E encryption is necessary, do you?

An open source client gives a false sense of security as the APK you're downloading is compiled. In the end you still need to decompile the APK to know what it is really doing. Open source client doesn't matter in mobile world, as

Same. And I believe q uses sqlite under hood, so you can use the same SQL syntax as the one supported by sqlite. Joining multiple csv files is also possible without too much setup. http://harelba.github.io/q/

There is a git diff driver for CSV that makes the CSV diffing and merging a lot better. https://paulfitz.github.io/2014/07/09/diff-merge-csv.html Works like a charm!

UDP doesn't require a handshake hence is easy to spoof unlike TCP where a full-duplex connection must be established for a successful connection.
