glorious masquerade: final thoughts

I’ve received several asks requesting that I share my opinions on certain aspects of the event, so I’ve compiled and condensed all my major thoughts into one post! ^^

***Spoilers below the cut!!***

I think the setting of Fantasy Paris the City of Flowers is a really interesting one that provides a ton of unique locations and cool lore! From their stalls to Noble Bell Academy campus and its bell tower, to the local specialties and legends, and its jolly people… It’s such a charming place!

It was fun to see the dynamics of each group and learn miscellaneous facts about them through their banter. This is something that TWST has pretty much always excelled at doing, so I can’t say I’m surprised.

The touring the city highlights for me mainly revolve around Sebek being fucking ridiculous 😂 Insisting he isn’t hungry, trying to impress Malleus by answering a history question correctly, chasing the goat around, the coffee mix-up, trying to sit in Azul’s lap, constantly sobbing and shouting like a kid despite trying to be an adult… chsvsidnksne god, it’s so funny OTL

I wasn’t expecting more lore about Trein and his wife, but it was a really welcome surprise. You can tell just how much Trein cherishes the dates and the other memories he had with his beloved in the City of Flowers… ashbldbiyasdbiald AND THE NRC BOYS KIND OF TEASE HIM AND ASK HIM ABOUT HIS RELATIONSHIP 

Something else I really liked but wasn’t expecting was actual adult involvement in the story, even if it is pretty minimal. (It’s still a lot more than Crowley intervening.) Like, Trein actively tries to guide his students and he cries when he thinks they’re acting unbecoming. He genuinely cares for them and wants them to become upstanding gentlemen.

I was 100% anticipating RSA cameos ever since the event was pitched to us as a gathering of students from various magic schools. It was a treat to see Chenya and Neige show up and actually do something meaningful; their sacrifices really highlight the difference in values between RSA and NRC–and it shows just how much they cherish their friends, something the NRC boys have yet to fully embrace themselves.

I adored the plot twist of Rollo’s true motives and the contrast between the facade he puts up and how maniacal he is behind that cold mask. Rollo in general is just a really fascinating character to me.

NOT TREIN HAVING HIP PROBLEMS, NOT LILIA HAVING HIP PROBLEMS SDHABSIDASLIDASBIDAS

I’m not super bothered by Yuu not being involved in the main conflict; they did their part by helping the townspeople. Even if they are magicless (and thus unaffected by the crimson flowers), it doesn’t necessarily mean that they’d be helpful in combat or anything (being magicless does not ward the flowers off, it just means they don’t attack a person/they can touch a person without bringing them harm); Yuu would just be another body to protect as they ascend the bell tower.

The cutaway gag to Jack and Ace on NRC campus wondering what the symposium attendees are up to was AMAZINGLY TIMED. Ace saying he wished he was with them right now before the game goes back to Deuce having a not-so-fun time with the crimson flowers… That’s peak comedy right there.

I mentioned this before already, but this event showcases how resourceful the NRC boys can be, specifically in the use of their unique magic. They’re limited in what magic they can use to begin with since the crimson flowers suck it from them and become stronger as a result, so they’re forced into corners where they need to come up with creative solutions. For example, Epel uses the coffin conjured by Sleep Kiss to protect Riddle from making contact with the flowers. Ruggie and Jamil use their respective unique magic to get NBC mob students to do the fighting for them. Azul uses It’s a Deal to borrow Deuce’s Bet the Limit/Double Down in preparation for the battle he anticipates with Rollo at the top of the bell tower. It’s so masterfully done!

I also enjoyed seeing Sebek and Silver fight together. Despite how often they are at odds with each other with their personalities and general demeanors, they are perfectly coordinated in combat and their grueling childhood training comes in clutch here.

GARGOYLE-KUN 😭 I’M SO GLAD HE AND HIS FRIENDS CAME BACK

The NBC students and Gargoyle-kun are useful side characters that help paint a nuanced image of Rollo to us long before learning the truth of his dark machinations. They see him as such a good and reliable person, and cannot fathom that he would stoop so low, which makes the tragedy all the more bittersweet.

THE SSR CHARACTERS FOR THIS EVENT WERE ACTUALLY IMPORTANT. Every character gets their time in the spotlight, but I really liked that the SSRs actually played significant roles in the story (unlike in a lot of previous events, especially the ones involving an extensive cast of characters). Malleus actually leads the trio as their powerhouse, Azul strategizes, and Idia is there to emotionally shame Rollo/foreshadow the twist with his little brother. They actually earned their standing as the event SSRs, and their strong ties to the event story makes me feel more compelled to actually roll for them.

AZUL AND DEUCE’S UNIQUE MAGIC INCANTATIONS AAAAAAAAH

I’m not a fan of Malleus at all (and I’m still not; he continues to be my least favorite character by far), but he’s significantly more interesting in this event than in his other appearances. Most of this is due to the fact that he’s actually allowed to be in an active leadership position rather than sit around waiting for others to act on him or to him (as is the case for a lot of the main story).

I don’t like the moments where Malleus lashes out in anger, but I did appreciate the parts where he was a gracious and strong leader. He thanks his peers for volunteering to be decoys, he praises Sebek and Silver for their vigilance, and he’s willing to do whatever it takes to get to Rollo and stop him. Malleus realizes the threat that Rollo’s plot poses to his country (which is predominantly fairies, beings of magic), and he’s finally behaving like a true king to the Briar Valley, doing all in his power to save his people. This is admittedly very admirable of him (well, if I focus on the duty he has to his people rather than the petty personal grudge he has with Rollo).

I really want to see more complex aspects of Malleus’s character like this rather than the emphasis on his woe-is-me loneliness that so often occurs within the fandom and in the main story; however, this really isn’t different from what my opinion of him was prior to Glorious Masquerade. I have always known that I was dissatisfied with his general portrayal and that I wanted something more substantial to him. It’s just that the game is now finally getting around to providing the kind of Malleus content I was hoping for, but it doesn’t necessarily endear him to me or make me like him. This is just him meeting my bare minimum 😂

Malleus fanboying over meeting Gargoyle-kun though, that was 👌 Gargoyle is best boy.

ROLLO UNIQUE MAGIC????????!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?? HELLOW???!?!?!?!?!?

Man. Rollo’s actions are so atrocious and unjustified but you also end up feeling so bad for him when you learn about his full backstory 😭 This is the kind of content I live for, characters and stories that make me think deeply about what drives them and why they act in the ways that they do.

Yo, Idia laying the verbal smackdown on Rollo????? Shaming him to hell and back????? AND DARN IT, Idia’s speech made me remember episode 6 and I started crying all over again OTL

THE GARGOYLE GIVING AZUL MALLEUS AND IDIA NICKNAMES AaAhHhHHHHHH AnD OFFERING TO LISTEN TO ROLLO’S WOES 🥺

THE NBC MOB STUDENTS BEING SO SWEET AND WORRIED ABOUT ROLLO????? ADMIRING HIM SO MUCH??????? GOD THEY’RE SO PURE AND INNOCENT THEY LOOK UP TO THEIR PREZ 

Rollo’s punishment is so ironic, but I think it’s perfect for his character. Living with the weight of his sins is worse than death itself for Rollo, someone who heavily internalizes guilt.

Aaaaaah, I love that Rook is super proud of Epel and how much he has grown up… asbhldilbasdbas and how he talks about telling Vil about it when they get back?? Pomefiore family for the win…

SILVER AND SEBEK TOSSING PEOPLE INTO THE AIR TO PRAISE THEM ASDKHABSILDLABISDBIASBD THAT WAS SUPER CUTE, AND I LIKE THAT IDIA SUFFERED FOR IT

The two rhythmic sections were cute! (GRIM SPINNING LIVES ON IN MY HEART FOREVER) Malleus, Idia, and Azul providing a song with lyrics in the second one caught me off-guard but it was super enjoyable and the vibes reminded me of a grand and somber opera.

Idia suffering is my bread and butter of his appearances cbjsvsjshwksns The way he just hides behind a pillar while his classmates praise him and he complains all the way up to the performance, trying to stave it off or to avoid it entirely… Relatable.

ROLLO AND MALLEUS SHARE A DANCE TOGETHER AT THE END????? I like how this is how they “reconcile”, it’s so awkward. LIKE. Malleus asks Rollo to dance with him, Rollo tells him to fuck off find another partner, and then Malleus guilts him into accepting by saying “Oh, are you really going to refuse an invitation from an HONORED guest?” AND THEN ROLLO PASSIVE AGGRESSIVELY DEMANDING MALLEUS’S HAND??? Hey, baby steps I guess 😂 (One of my friends was screaming about how the ending felt very “enemies to lovers” to them, but I was just excited for the prospect of Rollo’s return in the future!)

It’s interesting the way Malleus talked about being fearful of Rollo almost like it was a positive experience 😂 I guess that’s a novel feeling for the oh-so-great-and-powerful Malleus Draconia so anyone willing to approach him (regardless of their reasons for doing so) excites him. And that weirdly gives him a playful “rival” dynamic with Rollo, who still pretty much hates his guts cldbskxbjsmdkzh

… As expected, Yuu learned nothing in the City of Flowers which would help them find a way home 😂 I knew Crowley was full of bullshit.

I’m surprised that I like most, if not all, of the Groovies??? Usually I find event card Groovies to be kind of unappealing (*stares at Groom Ace*); I think the last one I was SUPER crazy for was actually Groom Idia… but the Maskquerade Groovies had a ton of atmosphere, nice lighting, fluttering fabric, and the boys just looking like they’re enjoying themselves. I do find it kind of odd that the background looks so empty for a dance (you’d think there’d be more people), but I can forgive that as the artists probably wanted to avoid clutter. The SSR Groovies were especially a treat; the lighting there is so heavenly and the detailing on each individual student is astonishing.

Overall, I really loved this event! I might even call it my favorite one so far!! ✨ I definitely appreciated its more serious vibes and how dark the story got. It was balanced pretty well with the light-hearted moments and worldbuilding, and a lot of characters had their time to shine. I’m hoping that we get more events with similar vibes to Glorious Masquerade in the coming future!!

Understanding Encryption: How Signal & Telegram Ensure Secure Communication

Signal vs. Telegram: A Comparative Analysis

Signal vs Telegram

Security Features Comparison

Signal:

Encryption: Uses the Signal Protocol for strong E2EE across all communications.

Metadata Protection: User privacy is protected because minimum metadata is collected.

Open Source: Code publicly available for scrutiny, anyone can download and inspect the source code to verify the claims.

Telegram:

Encryption: Telegram uses MTProto for encryption, it also uses E2EE but it is limited to Secret Chats only.

Cloud Storage: Stores regular chat data in the cloud, which can be a potential security risk.

Customization: Offers more features and customization options but at the potential cost of security.

Usability and Performance Comparison

Signal:

User Interface: Simple and intuitive, focused on secure communication.

Performance: Privacy is prioritized over performance, the main focus is on minimizing the data collection.

Cross-Platform Support: It is also available on multiple platforms. Like Android, iOS, and desktop.

Telegram:

User Interface: Numerous customization options for its audience, thus making it feature rich for its intended audience.

Performance: Generally fast and responsive, but security features may be less robust.

Cross-Platform Support: It is also available on multiple platforms, with seamless synchronization across devices because all the data is stored on Telegram cloud.

Privacy Policies and Data Handling

Signal:

Privacy Policy: Signal’s privacy policy is straightforward, it focuses on minimal data collection and strong user privacy. Because it's an independent non-profit company.

Data Handling: Signal does not store any message data on its servers and most of the data remains on the user's own device thus user privacy is prioritized over anything.

Telegram:

Privacy Policy: Telegram stores messages on its servers, which raises concerns about privacy, because  theoretically the data can be accessed by the service provider.

Data Handling: While Telegram offers secure end to end encrypted options like Secret Chats, its regular chats are still stored on its servers, potentially making them accessible to Telegram or third parties.

Designing a Solution for Secure Communication

Key Components of a Secure Communication System

Designing a secure communication system involves several key components:

Strong Encryption: The system should employ adequate encryption standards (e.g. AES, RSA ) when data is being transmitted or when stored.

End-to-End Encryption: E2EE guarantees that attackers cannot read any of the communication, meaning that the intended recipients are the only ones who have access to it.

Authentication: It is necessary to identify the users using secure means such as Two Factor Authentication (2FA) to restrict unauthorized access.

Key Management: The system should incorporate safe procedures for creating, storing and sharing encryption keys.

Data Integrity: Some standard mechanisms must be followed in order to ensure that the data is not altered during its transmission; For instance : digital signatures or hashing.

User Education: To ensure the best performance and security of the system, users should be informed about security and the appropriate use of the system such practices.

Best Practices for Implementing Encryption

To implement encryption effectively, consider the following best practices:

Use Proven Algorithms: Do not implement proprietary solutions that are untested, because these algorithms are the ones which haven't gone through a number of testing phases by the cryptographic community. On the other hand, use well-established algorithms that are already known and tested for use – such as AES and RSA.

Keep Software Updated: Software and encryption guidelines must be frequently updated because these technologies get out of date quickly and are usually found with newly discovered vulnerabilities.

Implement Perfect Forward Secrecy (PFS): PFS ensures that if one of the encryption keys is compromised then the past communications must remain secure, After every session a new key must be generated.

Data must be Encrypted at All Stages: Ensure that the user data is encrypted every-time, during transit as well as at rest – To protect user data from interception and unauthorized access.

Use Strong Passwords and 2FA: Encourage users to use strong & unique passwords that can not be guessed so easily. Also, motivate users to enable the two-factor authentication option to protect their accounts and have an extra layer of security.

User Experience and Security Trade-offs

While security is important, but it's also important to take care of the user experience when designing a secure communication system. If your security measures are overly complex then users might face difficulties in adopting the system or they might make mistakes in desperation which might compromise security.

To balance security and usability, developers should:

Balancing Security And Usability

Facilitate Key Management: Introduce automated key generation and exchange mechanisms in order to lessen user's overhead

Help Users: Ensure that simple and effective directions are provided in relation to using security aspects.

Provide Control: Let the users say to what degree they want to secure themselves e.g., if they want to make use of E2EE or not.

Track and Change: Always stay alert and hands-on in the system monitoring for security breaches as well as for users, and where there is an issue, do something about it and change

Challenges and Limitations of Encryption Potential Weaknesses in Encryption

Encryption is without a doubt one of the most effective ways of safeguarding that communications are secured. However, it too has its drawbacks and weaknesses that it is prone to:

Key Management: Managing and ensuring the safety of the encryption keys is one of the most painful heads in encryption that one has to bear. When keys get lost or fall into unsafe hands, the encrypted information is also at risk.

Vulnerabilities in Algorithms: As far as encryption is concerned the advanced encryption methods are safe and developed well, but it is not given that vulnerabilities will not pop up over the years. Such vulnerabilities are meant for exploitation by attackers especially where the algorithm in question is not updated as frequently as it should be.

Human Error: The strongest encryption can be undermined by human error. People sometimes use weak usernames and passwords, where they are not supposed to, and or even share their credentials with other persons without considering the consequences.

Backdoors: In some cases, businesses are pressured by Governments or law officials into adding back doors to the encryption software. These backdoors can be exploited by malicious actors if discovered.

Conclusion

Although technology has made it possible to keep in touch with others with minimal effort regardless of their geographical location, the importance of encryption services still persists as it allows us to protect ourselves and our information from external invaders. The development of apps like Signal and Telegram has essentially transformed the aspect of messaging and provided their clients with the best security features covering the use of multiple types of encryption and other means to enhance user privacy. Still, to design a secure communication system, it's not only designing the hardware or software with anti-eavesdropping features, but it factors in the design of systems that relate to the management of keys, communication of the target users, and the trade-off between security and usability. 

However, technology will evolve, followed by the issues and the solutions in secure communications. However by keeping up with pace and looking for better ways to protect privacy we can provide people the privacy that they are searching for.

what is the difference between rdp and vpn

RDP protocol explanation

Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) serves as a pivotal tool in modern computing, facilitating remote access to computers or virtual machines over a network connection. Developed by Microsoft, RDP enables users to interact with a remote system as if they were physically present at its location.

At its core, RDP functions as a communication protocol, transmitting input from the local user's keyboard and mouse to the remote system, while relaying graphical user interface (GUI) updates back to the local machine. This seamless exchange of data allows users to navigate and control a remote system with ease, regardless of its physical location.

One of RDP's key advantages lies in its efficiency. By transmitting only GUI updates rather than entire screen images, RDP minimizes bandwidth usage, ensuring smooth and responsive remote sessions even over limited network connections.

Security is another vital aspect of RDP. Employing encryption algorithms such as RSA and SSL/TLS, RDP safeguards data transmission against unauthorized access and interception. Additionally, user authentication mechanisms like passwords and smart cards bolster the protocol's security, mitigating the risk of unauthorized access to sensitive information.

Furthermore, RDP supports various features to enhance user experience and productivity. These include audio redirection, printer redirection, and clipboard sharing, enabling seamless integration of local resources within the remote session.

In recent years, RDP has evolved to accommodate the demands of modern computing environments, with improvements in performance, security, and compatibility across different devices and operating systems. Whether used for remote administration, telecommuting, or accessing virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI), RDP continues to play a crucial role in enabling efficient and secure remote access to computing resources.

VPN basics overview

In the digital age, ensuring online privacy and security has become increasingly important. One tool that has gained popularity in this regard is Virtual Private Network (VPN). A VPN creates a secure and encrypted connection over the internet, thus allowing users to protect their data from prying eyes and cyber threats.

VPN works by routing your internet traffic through a remote server operated by the VPN service. This process hides your IP address and encrypts the data you send and receive, making it almost impossible for third parties to track your online activities.

One of the primary uses of a VPN is to provide online anonymity. By masking your IP address, a VPN makes it difficult for websites and online services to track your location and online behavior. This is particularly useful for bypassing geo-restrictions and accessing region-locked content.

Moreover, using a VPN can enhance online security, especially when connected to public Wi-Fi networks. As these networks are often unsecured, cybercriminals can easily intercept data transmitted over them. With a VPN, all data passing through the network is encrypted, protecting it from potential breaches.

It is essential to choose a reliable VPN service that values your privacy and does not log your online activities. While VPNs offer enhanced security and privacy, it is crucial to remember that they are not foolproof and should be used in conjunction with other cybersecurity measures.
