  • So if I have read correctly both links talk about the same (the main source for the Cato article is the report from Carl Bernstein) and they state that some reporters that worked at some point in their lives at the Associated Press were tied to the CIA like 50 years ago.

    I mean, sure the CIA and other goverment agencies from different countries sure have an interest in deposing Maduro; but claiming that this coverage from AP is propagand (which stance is very much the same as other non-westie sources) is blissful in itself.








  • Here are some things, some minor and some major, in general I think Apple software is not up to their previous standars and just mediocre, not bad, but neither good anymore…

    • Phone app doesn’t have an in depth history of every call, just some of the last conversations.
    • Spellcheck: someten alterado Saiz it (someone already said it…)
    • Maps: Sent several corrections with detailed info and images but more than half are not fixed. I just don’t care anymore.
    • Siri: I just don’t know where to begin.
    • Apple Arcade: searching through Apple Arcade games is a nightmare.




  • They do use their infrastructure to connect to Apple Notification Service servers when the app is not used, they do act as a Man In The Middle but in a secure, concise manner (not in a sketchy way).

    Besides all that I’m not sure if someone who wants to create it’s own implementation of all of this can do it without any apple device; reading jjtech technical explanation (https://jjtech.dev/reverse-engineering/imessage-explained/) where he explains pypush he mentions the obfuscation process for registering a device to apple servers, here is where pypush somehow manages to convince Apple that the machine is genuine, there is a mention there to some serial identifier stored on a file called data.plist, if someone wants to implement this proof of concept would need to give another serial identifier?





  • Be ware of using VPN if you want spanish content and wanna join a private tracker; all spanish private tracker ban the use of VPNs

    My advice is to check if your ISP is blocking you from access to the sites you plan to use and pick one that doesn’t. If you plan to use torrent check if your ISP is outside CG-NAT (or let’s you leave it) to enable port forwarding

    If your country doesn’t care about piracy do not complicate your life further till they care, just stay up to date. As for measures I always use independantly of context, I just recommend using

    • Firefox with uBlock Origin and NoScript
    • Bitwarden or other password manager
    • A email relay services such as iCloud private relay or Duck email proxy
    • Flee of companies that sell your data, such as Google, Meta, Tiktok, etc
