I've had pangolin running for a while, doing tunneling to some self hosted resources, and I'm confused by this announcement and update. It seems like they're suggesting to use an Android/iOS client to connect to Pangolin protected resources, which seems like a shitload more work and overhead than just using wireguard to do the same thing. Am i missing something here?

They didn't even vote to stop funding for ICE. You're putting your hope in the wrong group of people.

In the time since George Floyd's murder, much has changed. The courts are much more in Trumps pocket, and to the extent that they can male this a federal case, he'll just pardon the murderers again.

In the mean time, the Dems will focus on stepping on their own necks to prevent the GOP from doing it.

Agreed. Wrong word choice. And its an important, major correction. Not a small one. :-)

From what I remember of history class, a Carcano will get it done, but a Röhm .22 only causes downstream problems like huge protective services budgets, and legislative and legal battles that last decades.

I don't know about intentionally designing that. It would violate contracts and have to be a hidden, but broadly conspiratorial activity. I have some professional experience in consumer electronics, and I remember when TPMs started becoming a required component for CE. It took several years to become commonplace; a slow transition from security by obscurity to sensible practices when devices started to be internet connected.

Nevertheless, from my experience, I'd say the TPMs aren't there for user security, they are there to keep Hollywood movies safe.

+100. People forget, or chose not to pay attention to the fact that Google sensor vault data was key evidence in convicting the January 6 insurrectionists (who were exonerated to become ICE). Surveillance capitalism doesn't care which side you are on.

Just to clarify... my question wasn't "do sleepers exist" it was should we continue to call them sleepers when they have broad access to the administrative branch of the US government.

I read 100 priests arrested and thought "holy shit, are we seeing justice finally arrive?" and then realized no, we're not.

A lot of her campaign was brain dead, but the Liz Cheney friendship tour was a pretty clear tip of the hand.
