More CSS containment, adopt shortcodes

- Adopt more shortcodes in older posts. - Contain figures, excluding images. Slightly decreases paint times. - Fix spacing issues for nested articles. - Always enable vertical scrollbar, since pretty much all pages are taller than the viewport. Eliminates a layout shift. - Moar microdata - Set fixed updated dates for some posts so they don't get new date-updated values until I actually change the content significantly

 How security fixes work
 -----------------------

@ -50,10 +69,15 @@ Understanding _how a program is designed_ is not the same as understanding _what
 Source code[^2] is essential to describe a program's high-level, human-comprehensible design; it represents a contract that outlines how a developer _expects_ a program to behave. A compiler or interpreter[^3] must then translate it into machine instructions. But source code isn't always easy to map directly to machine instructions because it is part of a complex system:

 - Compilers (sometimes even interpreters) can apply optimizations and hardening measures that are difficult to reason about. This is especially true for <abbr title="Just-In-Time">JIT</abbr> compilers that leverage run-time information.
+
 - The operating system itself may be poorly understood by the developers, and run a program in a way that contradicts a developer's expectations.
+
 - Toolchains, interpreters, and operating systems can have bugs that impact program execution.
+
 - Different compilers and compiler flags can offer different security guarantees and mitigations.
+
 - Source code [can be deceptive](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underhanded_C_Contest) by featuring sneaky obfuscation techniques, sometimes unintentionally. Confusing naming patterns, re-definitions, and vulnerabilities masquerading as innocent bugs (plausible deniability; look up "hypocrite commits" for an example) have all been well-documented.
+
 - All of the above points apply to each dependency and the underlying operating system, which can impact a program's behavior.

 Furthermore, all programmers are flawed mortals who don't always fully understand source code. Everyone who's done a non-trivial amount of programming is familiar with the feeling of encountering a bug during run-time for which the cause is impossible to find...until they notice it staring them in the face on Line 12. Think of all the bugs that _aren't_ so easily noticed.

@ -170,25 +197,31 @@ Good counter-arguments
 I readily concede to several points in favor of source availability from a security perspective:

 - Source code can make analysis _easier_ by _supplementing_ source-independent approaches. The lines between the steps I mentioned in the [four-step vulnerability-fixing process](#how-security-fixes-work) are blurry.
+
 - Patching vulnerabilities is important. Source availability makes it possible for the community, package maintainers, or reporters of a vulnerability to patch software. Package maintainers often blur the line between "packager" and "contributor" by helping projects migrate away from abandoned/insecure dependencies. One example that comes to mind is the Python 2 to Python 3 transition for projects like Calibre.[^12] Being able to fix issues independent of upstream support is an important mitigation against [user domestication](./../../../2021/01/27/whatsapp-and-the-domestication-of-users.html).
+
 - Some developers/vendors don't distribute binaries that make use of modern toolchain-level exploit mitigations (e.g. <abbr title="Position-Independent Executables">PIE</abbr>, <abbr title="ReLocation Read-Only">RELRO</abbr>, stack canaries, automatic variable initialization, [<abbr title="Control-Flow Integrity">CFI</abbr>](https://clang.llvm.org/docs/ControlFlowIntegrity.html), etc.[^13]). In these cases, building software yourself with these mitigations (or delegating it to a distro that enforces them) requires source code availability (or at least some sort of intermediate representation).
+
 - Closed-source software may or may not have builds available that include sanitizers and debug symbols.
+
 - Although fuzzing release binaries is possible, fuzzing is much easier to do when source code is available. Vendors of proprietary software seldom release special fuzz-friendly builds, and filtering out false-positives can be quite tedious without understanding high-level design.
- It is certainly possible to notice a vulnerability in source code. Excluding low-hanging fruit typically caught by static code analysis and peer review, it's not the main way most vulnerabilities are found nowadays (thanks to {{<indieweb-person nickname="X_CLI" url="https://www.broken-by-design.fr/">}} for [reminding me about what source analysis does accomplish](https://lemmy.ml/post/167321/comment/117774)).

 - Software as a Service can be incredibly difficult to analyze, as we typically have little more than the ability to query a server. Servers don't send core dumps, server-side binaries, or trace logs for analysis. Further&shy;more, it's difficult to verify which software a server is running.[^14] For services that require trusting a server, access to the server-side software is important from both a security and a user-freedom perspective

 Most of this post is written with the assumption that binaries are inspectable and traceable. Binary obfuscation and some forms of content protection/<abbr title="Digital Rights Management">DRM</abbr> violate this assumption and actually do make analysis more difficult.

 Beyond source code, transparency into the development helps assure users of compliance with good security practices. Viewing VCS history, patch reviews, linter configurations, etc. reveal the standards that code is being held up to, some of which can be related to bug-squashing and security.

+{{<indieweb-person itemprop="mentions" nickname="Patience" url="https://matrix.to/#/@hypokeimenon:tchncs.de">}} on Matrix also had a great response, which I agree with and adapt below:

 Whether or not the source code is available for software does not change how insecure it is. However, there are good security-related incentives to publish source code.

 - Doing so improves vulnerability patchability and future architectural improvement by lowering the barrier to contribution. The fixes that follow can be _shared and used by other projects_ across the field, some of which can in turn be used by the vendor. This isn't a zero-sum game; a rising tide lifts all boats.
 - It's generally good practice to assume an attacker has full knowledge of a system instead of relying on security through obscurity. Releasing code provides strong assurance that this assumption is being made. It's a way for vendors to put their money where their mouth is.

-Both Patience and {{<indieweb-person first-name="Drew" last-name="Devault" url="https://drewdevault.com/">}} argue that given the above points, a project whose goal is maximum security would release code. Strictly speaking, I agree. Good intentions don't imply good results, but they can _supplement_ good results to provide some trust in a project's future.

 Recently, GitHub re-instated the [youtube-dl git repository](https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl) after following a takedown request by the RIAA under the DMCA. Shortly after the takedown, many members of the community showed great interest in "decentralizing git" and setting up a more resilient forge. What many of these people fail to understand is that the Git-based project setup is designed to support decentralization by being fully distributed.

 Following the drama, I'm putting together a multi-part guide on how to leverage the decentralized, distributed nature of git and its ecosystem. I made every effort to include all parts of a typical project.

 I'll update this post as I add articles to the series. At the moment, I've planned to write the following articles:

 1. [Hydra Hosting](/2020/11/18/git-workflow-1.html): repository hosting.
+
 2. Community feedback (issues, support, etc.)
+
 3. Community contributions (patches)
+
 4. CI/CD
+
 5. Distribution

 The result of the workflows this series covers will be minimal dependence on outside parties; all members of the community will easily be able to get a copy of the software, its code, development history, issues, and patches offline on their machines with implementation-neutral open standards. Following open standards is the killer feature: nothing in this workflow depends on a specific platform (GitHub, GitLab, Gitea, Bitbucket, Docker, Nix, Jenkins, etc.), almost eliminating your project's "bus factor".

 My previous article, [Whatsapp and the domestication of users](/2021/01/27/whatsapp-and-the-domestication-of-users.html), got more attention than I was expecting. Some responses gave me a lot to think about,[^1] especially regarding _actions_ we can take. I suggest reading that article first; it explained what "user domestication" is and why it's a problem. It enumerated three countermeasures: FLOSS, simplicity, and open platforms.

 Hard problems, by definition, lack easy solutions. Simply choosing (or creating) a platform that avoids user domestication isn't enough if that platform can change. The price of freedom is eternal vigilance; in addition to settling on the right platform, we must ensure that it honors its users in both the present _and the future_. Keeping a platform FLOSS and simple is more straightforward[^2] than keeping a platform "open".

 How do we keep an open platform from becoming a closed platform in the future?

 After reading my previous article, a few people contacted me to ask for my thoughts regarding certain email providers. There's not much that can set a standard email provider apart if it just hosts a simple email server. To distinguish themselves, email providers often implement many features beyond email standards compliance.

-The vast majority of email accounts come from a small handful of dominant providers backed by large companies (Gmail, Yahoo! Mail, Yandex Mail, Mail.ru, iCloud, and others). Providers such as Gmail are notorious for implementing advanced spam filters prejudiced against non-mainstream email providers. Users who self-host email servers or use small providers frequently trigger false positives and end up having their messages incorrectly labeled as spam until they can build up a "reputation".[^4] The addition of such a complex spam-prevention filter strengthens the email oligopoly by creating a barrier to entry for newcomers. Low-volume senders are discriminated against, as Migadu [found out](https://archive.is/rJnSs#deliverability):

 Another example: email providers such as Hey.com, Protonmail, and Tutanota offer many features that are incompatible with IMAP/POP3. Protonmail and Tutanota use their own non-standard E2EE implementation (rather than focusing on improving the UX for vanilla PGP), and Hey.com offers server-side mail organization. Users of these services must use official Web, desktop, and mobile clients.[^5] These three providers control both the client and the server, giving them the means for vendor lock-in. Of course, there's a limit to the amount of lock-in these providers can achieve: as I explained in the [XMPP case study](#case-study-the-boxing-of-xmpp), these providers still need to support SMTP to stay compatible with the wider email landscape.

As Moxie [argues](https://signal.org/blog/the-ecosystem-is-moving/), Signal might not have been able to implement as many features if it was an open platform; spec-constrained development is, by definition, _constrained_.

 Open platforms with multiple providers and implementations often suffer from poorer usability, especially with regards to onboarding. Instead of just opening the official app/website, users need to choose from multiple clients and providers. This can be a turn-off for casual users just wanting to try something out. One of the best ways to improve the onboarding experience is to offer recommendations to your non-technical friends; you know them well and can probably help them make an informed decision.

 Programming languages driven by a standard rather than a reference implementation typically have greater portability, many good implementations, and are unlikely to fade away with time. Examples include C, C++, Common Lisp, JavaScript, and POSIX Shell. Compare this with a language like Python: so many packages depend on the CPython reference implementation's approach to C extensions that alternative implementations such as PyPy must perpetually remain second-class citizens.

 I realize that advice on password strength can get outdated. As supercomputers grow more powerful, password strength recommendations need to be updated to resist stronger brute-force attacks. Passwords that are strong today might be weak in the future. **How long should a password be in order for it to be physically impossible to brute-force, ever?**

 This question might not be especially practical, but it's fun to analyze and offers interesting perspective regarding sane upper-limits on password strength.

The simple queries above are a decent starting point for simple quick evaluations, but I also test for common search operators, keyword length, and types of domain-specific jargon. I also use queries designed to pull up specific pages with varying levels of popularity and recency to gauge the size, scope, and growth of an index.

 I have never used WhatsApp, and never will. Despite this, I still feel the need to write an article about WhatsApp since it's the perfect case study to help understand a class of businesses models I call "user domestication". The domestication of users is high on my list of problems plaguing the human race, and is worth a detailed explanation.

 WhatsApp wasn't the first instant messenger of its kind, and probably won't be the last. I simply chose to focus on WhatsApp since its recent privacy issues have made it a hot topic.

 With the meta-explanation out of the way, let us begin.

 Whats&shy;App's rise {#whatsapps-rise}
---------------
+--------------------

 For those unfamiliar, WhatsApp is a tool that makes it convenient and easy to help Facebook further its core mission: the optimization and auctioning of human behavior (colloquially known as "targeted advertising"). It originally persuaded people to consent to this by allowing them to send text to each other over the Internet, something that was [already possible](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_instant_messaging_protocols), and combining an easy-to-learn UI with successful marketing. It then expanded to include features such as free voice and video calls. Free calls helped it grow to become the de-facto communication platform in many regions. I'm stunned at its ubiquity every time I visit my extended family in India; I'm frequently greeted by looks of confusion when I remind them that I don't use WhatsApp.

 The ad lists various data that WhatsApp doesn't collect or share. Allaying data collection concerns by listing data _not_ collected is misleading. WhatsApp doesn't collect hair samples or retinal scans either; not collecting that information doesn't mean it respects privacy because it doesn't change the information WhatsApp _does_ collect.

 The ad denies "keep[ing] logs of who everyone is messaging or calling". Collecting data is not the same as "keeping logs"; it's possible for metadata to be fed into an algorithm before being discarded. A model can thus learn that two users call each other frequently without keeping logs of the metadata for each call. The fact that they specifically chose to phrase this line around logging implies that WhatsApp either already collects this class of data or has deliberately left the door open to collecting it in the future.

 [^2]: Many within the free software movement dislike the term "open source" for a [number of reasons](https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/open-source-misses-the-point.html); others use the terms "free" and "open source" [interchangeably](https://drewdevault.com/2019/09/17/The-wrong-words-but-the-right-ideas.html). Finally, many vendors use the word "free" to refer to price rather than freedom, prompting some free software supporters to adopt the term "libre" instead. All this can be quite confusing, which is why I prefer acronyms like FLOSS to describe these terms' intersection.
