I submitted a Pull Request to update MacPorts' OpenSSH to 10.6p1 here: https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/35346 GitHub Continuous Integration checks passed OK. It's up to someone else with commit access to merge it. (I am less certain what to do about the sandboxing support removal mentioned by @brynet@bsd.network believe it or not, I kinda despise Apple and macOS; yet I figure down streaming things for others since I am doing it myself is hopefully beneficial? If I am going to have to get more into the internals of a proprietary for-profit OS from a company that has trillions [plural] in its market cap? I kinda feel as if they may actually be able to afford to employ folks to do this stuff and I am less certain I want to be among them? Particularly given that supposedly in recent years, Apple has become subsumed to some degree by Unit 8200 [e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vc-iH5GEPJ8&t=480s] like the politics and optics of all that are, awful [Unit 8200 are Israeli spies, essentially]; and probably also a big part of why the new Apple Watch is Big Brother "always listening" as just one example of how the company professing to be privacy focused, in practice: is more like 1984's double-speak in 2026. If you can, I would sincerely encourage you to use OpenSSH on OpenBSD!) #OpenSSH #MacPorts #SecureShell #macOS #Encryption #OpenSource

Major international and local companies, experts, and civil society orgs are sounding the alarm about #BillC22! Help us reach 15k+ and demand the Senate #ReformC22, it threatens #privacy and #encryption in 🇨🇦! https://openmedia.org/ReformC22-mtd

Their main concerns:

• Up to 6 months of mandatory metadata retention, creating hacker "honeypots" that clash with privacy-first design. -It could force weakened #encryption or interception tools! -"Core provider" is undefined, and secret ministerial orders could hit non-core firms too.

They say these measures would weaken consumer trust, chill investment, and go well beyond the lawful access frameworks of Canada's G7 peers. Their ask: amend #BillC22 before it becomes law to protect #privacy, #encryption and #cybersecurity, and give companies the certainty to invest and grow in 🇨🇦

New South Wales, stop. Encryption in transit isn't enough when the phone itself becomes the target. After an unlocked-device forensic extraction, readable local data can expose what messaging apps leave behind. VEIL is built to minimise what exists to extract. https://tryveil.app #DigitalPrivacy #NSW #CyberSecurity #Encryption

In case you are falsely feeling protected outside of Europe: Chat Control doesn't just concern Europeans. It concerns all of us. These kind of regulations will come for all of us, everywhere, if we do not ALL push against it everywhere. If you do not understand how this is all intertwined, I invite you to read more privacy news and in-depth analysis. Because we must all support each other's privacy fights.

Einordnung: Der neue Anlauf zeigt, dass die Debatte um Hintertüren nie wirklich verschwindet. Diesmal soll der Zugriff auf britische Nutzer begrenzt sein. Kryptografie kennt aber keine Landesgrenzen und keine »guten« Hintertüren. Wird der Schutz absichtlich geschwächt, profitieren am Ende nicht nur Ermittler. Dass Apple dagegen klagt, ist richtig - auch wenn der Konzern in anderen Datenschutzfragen genug Kritik verdient. 2/2 #Encryption #Datenschutz #Überwachung #KuketzAugust

Apple klagt erneut gegen eine Anordnung der britischen Regierung. Das Innenministerium verlangt einen Zugang zu Ende-zu-Ende-verschlüsselten iCloud-Daten britischer Nutzer.
