We provide privacy-respecting alternatives to common services, educate users about digital privacy, and advocate for a more private and secure internet.

The goal of the app is to create an easy to use instant messenger which is open source and accessible for everyone. " The most pleasant messenger I've ever used. Beautiful (and that's the meaning of "cute"), can be used on the web or app. Once, the developer, Krille-chan, I think on Mastodon, said some users thought "cute" was not professional. But, for him, it was a way to convey the meaning of beautiful. So, the slogan stays as: Slogan: "The cutest messenger in [matrix]" Site: https://fluffychat.im/ Soatok blog From the website: " Writings about information security, cryptography, software, and humanity, from a member of the furry fandom. " A respected man that studies and works with cryptography. Among other themes, he analyses messengers, and protocols in general, and explains — sometimes discovering grave vulnerabilities. His post recommending to not use Session made the app developers itch.

Russia launched a rare drone and missile attack on western Ukraine overnight, officials said Thursday, striking targets including an American-owned electronics plant and injecting further uncertainty into the U.S.-led efforts to end the 3-year-old war. For all his tough talk, US President Donald Trump has yet to issue a comment or reply to the attack by Putin.“There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked.” Isaiah 57:21 (KJB)On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, the name of the company that operates the location in Ukraine that Putin ordered destroyed is Flex, and they are a billion dollar global technology company headquartered in Texas. With over 100 locations around the world totaling 48,000,000 square feet of office and factory space, Flex is a major player. When the media reported the strike yesterday, they called Flex an ‘electronics company' leading you to think of them like you would a Best Buy, but nothing could be further from the truth. They are much more like Blackrock than they are Best Buy. So what Putin did is huge, and for an ‘America First' president it's an act of war. Yet strangely, the White House is silent on X, Trump on Truth Social has no comment, and nowhere across any Trump social media is this event even mentioned. What on Earth is going on? You're being played. On today's Podcast, the Deep State is firmly in control of Washington DC, and the pieces on the chessboard continue thier forward march towards war.
Send us a textWhat if chasing growth was silently killing your business?In this candid and high-impact episode, Joey Pinz sits down with Rick Murphy, the founder of Cogent Growth Partners and a veteran of over 200 M&A deals in the tech sector. Rick opens up about his personal transformation—losing 60+ pounds—and ties it directly to the mindset needed for sustainable business growth.They dive deep into what Rick calls “Top Line Disease,” a common but costly obsession with revenue at the expense of profitability. He breaks down the symptoms like “Staff Infection” (overpaid, underperforming teams) and “Credit Line Addiction” (debt-fueled operations) — and offers powerful insights on curing them.
In this episode of Passing Judgment, Jessica breaks down three major legal developments: the Supreme Court allowing Mississippi's age verification law for social media to take effect while litigation continues, a renewed but unlikely push to overturn the Court's marriage equality decision in Obergefell, and a federal court ruling enabling potential mass firings at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Jessica explains what these cases mean for our rights and daily lives, highlighting the ongoing balance between state power, individual liberties, and consumer protection.Here are three key takeaways you don't want to miss:Supreme Court and Mississippi's Social Media Age Verification Law: The episode opens with a discussion of the Supreme Court's decision to allow Mississippi's new law requiring age verification for children on social media to take effect while legal battles continue. The law mandates social media companies verify users' ages and get parental consent for kids under 18. Supporters claim it protects children from online harms, while critics argue it's vague, intrusive, and may violate the First Amendment.Renewed Push to Overturn Marriage Equality (Obergefell v. Hodges): There's renewed legal activity aimed at overturning the Supreme Court's 2015 decision in Obergefell v. Hodges, which legalized same-sex marriage nationwide. The case gained attention due to Kim Davis, a former Kentucky clerk who refused to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples, now asking the Supreme Court to revisit the ruling.Trump Administration and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB): The final major story discusses a recent court decision paving the way for the Trump administration to pursue mass firings at the CFPB—a federal agency created after the 2008 financial crisis to protect consumers.

Ebony Logue - August 17th 2025 God is both a Father and a Gardener, pruning us so we can bear lasting fruit. This week, Ebony shares a powerful message from John 15 about abiding in the true vine, Jesus. Through personal stories, the picture of pruning, and the reminder that God is both a Father and a Gardener, she invites us to see how God's loving discipline produces lasting fruit in our lives.

At Black Hat USA 2025, artificial intelligence wasn't the shiny new thing — it was the baseline. Nearly every product launch, feature update, and hallway conversation had an “AI-powered” stamp on it. But when AI becomes the lowest common denominator for security, the questions shift.In this episode, I read my latest opinion piece exploring what happens when the tools we build to protect us are the same ones that can obscure reality — or rewrite it entirely. Drawing from the Lock Note discussion, Jennifer Granick's keynote on threat modeling and constitutional law, my own CISO hallway conversations, and a deep review of 60+ vendor announcements, I examine the operational, legal, and governance risks that emerge when speed and scale take priority over transparency and accountability.We talk about model poisoning — not just in the technical sense, but in how our industry narrative can get corrupted by hype and shallow problem-solving. We look at the dangers of replacing entry-level security roles with black-box automation, where a single model misstep can cascade into thousands of bad calls at machine speed. And yes, we address the potential liability for CISOs and executives who let it happen without oversight.Using Mikko Hyppönen's “Game of Tetris” metaphor, I explore how successes vanish quietly while failures pile up for all to see — and why in the AI era, that stack can build faster than ever.If AI is everywhere, what defines the premium layer above the baseline? How do we ensure we can still define success, measure it accurately, and prove it when challenged?Listen in, and then join the conversation: Can you trust the “reality” your systems present — and can you prove it?________This story represents the results of an interactive collaboration between Human Cognition and Artificial Intelligence.Enjoy, think, share with others, and subscribe to "The Future of Cybersecurity" newsletter on LinkedIn.Sincerely, Sean Martin and TAPE3________✦ ResourcesArticle: When Artificial Intelligence Becomes the Baseline: Will We Even Know What Reality Is AInymore?https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/when-artificial-intelligence-becomes-baseline-we-even-martin-cissp-4idqe/The Future of Cybersecurity Article: How Novel Is Novelty?

Every fundraiser on the planet has, at some point, wished they could have a prep conversation with a donor before they actually sit in front of them to make an ask of any kind. But that's silly. That's not possible. Instead, most of us settled for half-baked role playing with a colleague from time-to-time. And that was helpful. Sort of. But it was never exactly what we needed. It was never dialed in as much as many of us wanted. The result?

Black Hat 2025 was a showcase of cybersecurity innovation — or at least, that's how it appeared on the surface. With more than 60 vendor announcements over the course of the week, the event floor was full of “AI-powered” solutions promising to integrate seamlessly, reduce analyst fatigue, and transform SOC operations. But after walking the floor, talking with CISOs, and reviewing the press releases, a pattern emerged: much of the messaging sounded the same, making it hard to distinguish the truly game-changing from the merely loud.In this episode of The Future of Cybersecurity Newsletter, I take you behind the scenes to unpack the themes driving this year's announcements. Yes, AI dominated the conversation, but the real story is in how vendors are (or aren't) connecting their technology to the operational realities CISOs face every day. I share insights gathered from private conversations with security leaders — the unfiltered version of how these announcements are received when the marketing gloss is stripped away.We dig into why operational relevance, clarity, and proof points matter more than ever. If you can't explain what your AI does, what data it uses, and how it's secured, you're already losing the trust battle. For CISOs, I outline practical steps to evaluate vendor claims quickly and identify solutions that align with program goals, compliance needs, and available resources.And for vendors, this episode serves as a call to action: cut the fluff, be transparent, and frame your capabilities in terms of measurable program outcomes. I share a framework for how to break through the noise — not just by shouting louder, but by being more real, more specific, and more relevant to the people making the buying decisions.Whether you're building a security stack or selling into one, this conversation will help you see past the echo chamber and focus on what actually moves the needle.________This story represents the results of an interactive collaboration between Human Cognition and Artificial Intelligence.Enjoy, think, share with others, and subscribe to "The Future of Cybersecurity" newsletter on LinkedIn.Sincerely, Sean Martin and TAPE3________✦ ResourcesBlack Hat 2025 On Location Closing Recap Video with Sean Martin, CISSP and Marco Ciappelli: https://youtu.be/13xP-LEwtEAITSPmagazine Studio — A Brand & Marketing Advisory for Cybersecurity and Tech Companies: https://www.itspmagazine.studio/ITSPmagazine Webinar: What's Heating Up Before Black Hat 2025: Place Your Bet on the Top Trends Set to Shake Up this Year's Hacker Conference — An ITSPmagazine Thought Leadership Webinar | https://www.crowdcast.io/c/whats-heating-up-before-black-hat-2025-place-your-bet-on-the-top-trends-set-to-shake-up-this-years-hacker-conferenceLearn more and catch more stories from our Black Hat USA 2025 coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/bhusa25Catch all of our event coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/technology-and-cybersecurity-conference-coverageCitations: Available in the full article________Sean Martin is a life-long musician and the host of the Music Evolves Podcast; a career technologist, cybersecurity professional, and host of the Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast; and is also the co-host of both the Random and Unscripted Podcast and On Location Event Coverage Podcast.

The Clarity Act, Genius Act, and Anti-CBDC Act all pass Congress, ushering in what some are calling a regulatory renaissance — or at least, the first real rules of the road. Bitcoin breaks $120K, memecoins rip, and Crypto Week sends shockwaves through Washington. But is the Clarity Act really the win the industry's been waiting for? Rebecca breaks down the legal nuance, Tarun questions the economic reality, and Haseeb points out Ethereum's bizarre silence during the biggest policy shift of the decade. Has crypto finally grown up — or just gotten better at playing the game? The gang dissects the laws, the loopholes, and the market's reaction to it all. Show highlights
What if your savings account was so secure that even your account number couldn't be used to steal from you? That's the kind of question Austin Capital Bank is answering; Not by thinking like a traditional bank, but by operating more like a tech company.In her debut interview on Travillian Next, Amber Buker, Chief of Research at Travillian, sits down with Erik Beguin, Founder and CEO of Austin Capital Bank, to dig into the launch of their latest innovation: Fort Knox, a high-security savings account engineered to be fraud-resistant by design. Instead of competing in the high-yield arms race, Erik and his team are creating a whole new category, one that prioritizes safety over speed and uses product design to outsmart fraudsters. Backed by a 50-person engineering team and built to withstand quantum-era threats, this conversation rewrites what a “community bank” even means.

Caroline Haskins, business reporter at WIRED, where she covers Silicon Valley, surveillance, and labor, talks about President Trump's plan to employ the tech company Palantir to compile data on America citizens.
Palestinian solidarity protesters interrupted two congressional town halls in the metro area last week, calling attention to Rep. Jason Crow and Senator Michael Bennet's support for Israel, but also the role of one of Denver's largest and most mysterious companies: Palantir Technologies. So we're revisiting a conversation producer Paul Karolyi had a few years ago with Bloomberg Businessweek reporter Max Chafkin about his reporting on the defense contractor's co-founder Peter Thiel, how Palantir makes money, and why it moved to Denver in 2020. This episode first aired on October 18, 2021. Chafkin's biography of Peter Thiel is called “The Contrarian: Peter Thiel and Silicon Valley's Pursuit of Power.” Host Bree Davies mentioned two stories about former Palantir workers — one about a group of employees who sent an open letter to NPR and another from More Perfect Union about a former worker who became disillusioned about the company. What do you think about Palantir? We want to know what you think about our new neighbor!
