[Bug 1634537] Re: mnemosyne appears to connect to PRISM company on OpenSM2
I'll gladly accept any patch that works in a equally robust manner. Or would you feel better if rather than connecting to Google we connected to another site with near 100% uptime? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1634537 Title: mnemosyne appears to connect to PRISM company on OpenSM2 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mnemosyne/+bug/1634537/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

...but the metadata that someone made a connection from my ip is present on their servers. It is a 'well known trick' yes, but one that relies on betraying our metadata to a 3rd party known for betraying the privacy of its users, nevermind those who are accidentally opening sockets without realizing what they are doing. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1634537 Title: mnemosyne appears to connect to PRISM company on OpenSM2 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mnemosyne/+bug/1634537/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

The nice thing about open source is that you can exactly see what's going on and what data is sent across (if any). In this case, I'm using a well-known trick in Python to determine your local IP address by opening a connection to an ubiquitously available site, and then using that connection to get your local IP address. As you can see, absolutely no data is sent across. ** Changed in: mnemosyne (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1634537 Title: mnemosyne appears to connect to PRISM company on OpenSM2 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mnemosyne/+bug/1634537/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
