BusKill Warrant Canary for 2024 H2 🕵️

Reply in thread

I'm not aware of any sites tracking our warrant canaries, but there are standards for machine-readable warrant canaries to make this easier

Edit: oh, it looks like the EFF, Calyx Institute, Freedom of the Press Foundation, NYU Law, the Berkman Center, and a few other orgs run a service that monitors warrant canaries called Canary Watch

This update from 2016 says they were monitoring 70 org's canaries

Edit 2: oh, looks like they silently shut it down some years ago :( well, we adopted the autocanary standard from FLM linked-above, so it shouldn't be hard for some canary observatory to consume and track our canaries.

Do you have any tips on soldering solutions that would allow us to decrease the size?

Unfortunately, it's already extremely difficult to solder the pins and glue the magnets at the current size. I think it's important to lower the barrier of entry for people with just basic soldering and printing tools to be able to make this. But if you have any recommendations to shrink the size without also making it impossible for most hackers to build themselves, we're all ears :)

fwiw, we do have an injection molded version that's much smaller, but it requires very expensive equipment to make (which is one reason we're developing this 3D-printable version as an alternative)
