![]() ![]() You can use it to export your profile to other devices, for e.g. That's because Tox saves a profile to the \AppData\Roaming\Tox folder. I installed uTox on my computer (set it up) and then installed qTox it automatically picked up my Tox profile. You could try using it with Tor or a VPN to prevent this. Tox does by using your IP and your contact's to help you communicate with one another directly. Does Tox expose the IP address? Any P2P service will, that's how they work. The developers don't hide this though and have clearly mentioned this on the official website, which is a good sign. The main concern with Tox is that despite being open source, its encryption protocol has not been audited. Also, worth mentioning is that messages are metadata free, which is important because metadata is used as a way to trace users. The encryption happens on a per-message basis. Tox uses NaCl encryption for cryptography and the developers have labelled this as experimental. Combined with end-to-end encryption this is better for privacy when compared to a centralized service. The message that you send is delivered directly to the recipient, as in Peer-to-Peer (P2P). This could potentially result in data being stolen, or the user being spied on.Ī decentralized messenger is one that cuts out the middleman, i.e., there is no server in between you and your contact. When you send a message through a centralized service, it is transmitted (passes through) a server, where it may or may not be stored before it is delivered to the recipient. Examples for this would be Skype, Hangouts, Facebook Messenger, Viber or Telegram. ![]() Any instant messaging protocol that uses a cloud-based connection, aka a server, is a centralized service. A lot of it was just regular business stuff (e.g., credentialing packets, requests for privileges, a metric ton of menus, etc.), but there was a significant amount of correspondence as well, including some letters of a personal nature.Let me explain what a centralized messaging service is. In lieu of a regular post, I decided to share one of these old letters in hopes that others can learn from my experiences, both good and bad. The content of the letter is unchanged, but I’ve added commentary to help cut through some of the more deeply personal, and painful, sections. I’m just going to rip the Band-Aid off here, Urine Drug Screen, we’re done. I know that this is going to come as a surprise to you. We’ve been together for so long, but that’s part of the problem. We’ve fallen into a routine, a routine that doesn’t give me what I need or want, and hasn’t for so, so long. I don’t even know why I call on you anymore, other than out of a very bad habit. ![]() I’ve had a little time to sit and reflect and I realize that, on the balance sheet of our relationship, there is far more bad than good. I understand that you’ll want to fight for the relationship, but I just don’t see how it can work. People working in healthcare have relied for years on the urine drug screen (UDS) to diagnose patients with a substance-related condition. They’re relatively inexpensive, use something that is readily available (urine), most can be automated, and typically they give results quickly. Its ease of use has ingrained it into the DNA of practice, to the detriment of both patients and practitioners. I know you don’t understand our relationship. Which is not surprising considering that you don’t understand your job, either. What is that? Did you learn that from your old relationships (that you talk about constantly, which is super creepy, btw), like when you were with federally regulated transportation? Or that other one where people worked with large industrial equipment? You brag about your ability to “screen” people, and yet you continue to go a step beyond anything that you’ve ever been trained to do, and try and “diagnose” people. The most commonly used UDS methodology is an immunoassay that consists of a panel of five tests, The panels have changed over time, but most commonly test for amphetamine, cocaine, THC, opioids and one of either benzodiazepine, barbiturate (much less common) or phencyclidine (PCP). 1 They are used as sensitive screens for the use of substances that would be considered harmful or dangerous to use while doing things like flying an airplane or driving a truck. It’s my job to take people with acute signs and symptoms and come up with a diagnosis. You don’t know how to answer the question as to whether or not this patient’s symptoms are caused by a drug, and you can’t. I know it gives you a sense of importance and power, but it really just frustrates me and creates confusion. I can’t afford to have you lead me down the wrong path anymore.Ĭlinicians rely on diagnostic testing to answer questions.
