Home is where your heart is ❤️

Others have already laughed at this idea, but on a similar topic:

I know we’ve basically disabled a lot of features that sped up the CPU but introduced security flaws. Is there a way to turn those features back on for an airgapped computer intentionally?

Coasting0942 ,

Ah shit, is this the time line where privacy isn’t needed cause people want better AI?

Coasting0942 , (edited )

I’m not going back to typing my grocery list manually. So I’m fucked in that part of my life.

Edit: thank you to everybody suggesting privacy preserving methods of grocery list maintenance. I’ve already considered them.

Team fortress 2 is completely unrecognizable to me

No where in history was that a legitimate trade. Only her father would take such a dumb deal.

Aristocrats can afford to pay a house at a minimum. Don’t let them devalue your worth.

Economies are lowly tools that are supposed to exist solely to benefit the people of the society they are a lowly tool for.

What complete gutter trash talk. Economies serve the master of mankind.

I don’t believe that the NSA has a portal giving them direct access (probably naive).

They definitely have a secret agent 🕵️‍♀️ nerd on the inside providing intel on the structure. Maybe inject exploits or guide them when needed.

They definitely have a direct e-mail address to cloudflare legal to serve national security letters that cloud flare is obligated to comply with. Which is a portal with extra steps, but which cloud flare can raise a fuss if they notice the requests are turning into vacuum cleaners, and not union membership research.

Signal is a close second.

Who dis?

Coasting0942 ,

It’s protocols over platforms. I’m not too worried about the protocol.

Coasting0942 ,

Most important part of the blog post:

We are planning a 3rd party security audit for the protocols and cryptography design in July 2024, and also the security audit for an implementation in December 2024/January 2025, and it would hugely help us if some part of this $50,000+ expense is covered with donations.

Does the form factor between 3.5" and 2.5" matter in a NAS server? (slrpnk.net)

Been finding some good deals on 2.5 disks lately, but have never bought one before. Have a couple of 3.5 disks on the other hand in my Unraid server. Wondering how much it matters wether I get a 2.5 or not? What form factor do you prefer/usually go for?

Coasting0942 ,

And theoretical reliability. Stuff breaks down quicker at smaller sizes says my lizard brain

Coasting0942 ,

Instead of actually storing images, sound files, maps, etc, whole program relies on algorithms computed at runtime. Level generated automatically, sound follows a set math pattern with randomization, etc etc

Benefits of less file size but more processor requirements

Everybody has a browser that runs JS. Only 13k has to be transmitted via floppy disk

Why not now?

He’ll live long enough to end up on the wrong side of the polygamy rights fight. But I’d like to be surprised.

Coasting0942 ,

Five guys and five gals will be arguing they have a right to share DNA amongst each other and make a single kid, giving them all parental rights. Religious right will have their scheduled stroke. Most of the population won’t care. Internet trolls will be screaming how it’s a United Nations plan to depopulate the planet.

Or basically any legal recognition for polygamy.

Coasting0942 ,

We’ve already reached two lesbians with their combined dna being carried by a surrogate (which has extra dna effects as the carrier). With further dna advancements it should be possible to mix up multiple parents dna.

Don’t know about the surgery part (maybe zer0d her med bills) but he’s definitely showing her off.

Coasting0942 ,

Stockholm syndrome is made up but posts like these keep convincing me it’s real.

Coasting0942 ,

You can do your part to get that info off of Twitter.

Get a separate browser just for Twitter use. If there’s info that’s only on Twitter re-post it elsewhere.

Coasting0942 ,

Damn. You outsmarted them well paid data jockeys. And assuming your edits change the actual comment and don’t simply hide the original.

I could be an idiot too though. Reddit might have been running this whole shit show on the original version of the database system and be upselling to buyers.

Google's call-scanning AI could dial up censorship by default, privacy experts warn (techcrunch.com)

A feature Google demoed at its I/O confab yesterday, using its generative AI technology to scan voice calls in real time for conversational patterns associated with financial scams, has sent a collective shiver down the spines of privacy and security experts who are warning the feature represents the thin end of the wedge. They...

Silly user: you can’t fully disable features intended to keep you safe

Does a VPN used on a smartphone with Wi-Fi disabled (mobile data only enabled) provide any sort of protection?

I've never completely understood this, but I think the answer would probably be "no," although I'm not sure. Usually when I leave the house I turn off wifi and just use mobile data (this is a habit from my pre-VPN days), although I guess I should probably just keep it on since using strange Wi-Fi with a VPN is ok (unless someone...

Coasting0942 ,

Protection from what?

If it’s your phone leaking your location, then yes and also disable location services and Bluetooth as well.

You mention interference. Mobile data can be interfered from miles away at the phone company. Same for your home internet.

Coasting0942 ,

Step 1: don’t use a computer

Step 2: letters to your friends need a probable cause warrant to be viewed

Step 3: invite your friends over for dinner, or go hangout with them

Guys, I think all these computers took military funding. Wake up sheeple.

Buying stocks and then selling them.

The selling part is the bigger problem. Give your shares of Walmazon to your kids.

Microsoft is testing Game Pass ads on the Windows 11 Settings homepage (www.ghacks.net)

Microsoft's announcement: "We are introducing a new Game Pass recommendation card on the Settings homepage. The Game Pass recommendation card on Settings Homepage will be shown to you if you actively play games on your PC. As a reminder – the Settings homepage will be shown only on the Home and Pro editions of Windows 11 and...

Coasting0942 ,

There are Ubuntu versions that look very similar to the Microsoft

Tor network could always use more obfuscation.

Getting “Tor is pentagon spyware” vibes from OP

Coasting0942 ,

Proton is the only one I know of who takes mailed cash.

This was all an opsec problem. And not even an “exposed my ip address because a software bug leaked it” it was an “here’s my usual email address in case I get locked out”.

The cops didn't need to break into proton email. They just asked the backup email address for that stuff.

Coasting0942 ,

It’s means the government can watch you visit the porn site. The rest is their imagination.

Coasting0942 ,

Its in the first sentence:

Apple and Google have removed apps that promised deepfake nudes

The apps promised to fuck other people over. Your other suggestions have other uses than making fake nudes.

Coasting0942 ,

Depends on their legal status. Could they get sued by a victim?

Coasting0942 ,

A minor who gets her face turned into porn wouldn’t be able to sue because it’s not photoshop, it’s AI. /s

Coasting0942 ,

If blood draw is done properly it should be pretty uneventful.

Permanent damage could get a lawsuit to compel a less risky procedure by the cops.

Coasting0942 ,

It’s not casually allowed. The courts have determined there can be minor intrusions into your body under strictly limited conditions including after a warrant.
Arguing that the whole thing is crazy is pointless because you have no constitutional protection once a judge certifies the circumstances necessitate it.

The prosecutors are the ones pushing to get rid of the warrant requirement for blood draws.

You have the option of refusing the breathalyzers, but most legislatures have the automatic clause that you instantly get treated as failing the breathalyzer test.

They are pricier and they know it.

Proton: "Introducing Dark Web Monitoring for credential leaks"

It’s cheapish, and automates something that you should be doing. Easy way to add value to what you pay for

Are they amateur trying to catch a predator?

Under the FISA expansion, what exactly should I worry about, how do I manage privacy?

Hello everyone, with the unfortunate passing of the FISA expansion, I was left with a few questions. I tried to research it, and to me, it seems like they are beefing up surveillance with routers and ISPs (correct me if I'm wrong.) Aside from having businesses stalk you when you use their WiFi (connected with ISPs.)...

Coasting0942 ,

The Wyden/Lummis amendment would have struck language that expands the definition of an electronic communication service provider to include, with some exceptions, any "service provider who has access to equipment that is being or may be used to transmit or store wire or electronic communications." The exceptions are for public accommodation facilities, dwellings, community facilities, and food service establishments.

So basically anybody with a computer network open to the public has to bend over in secret. This changes nothing if you assume all connections end up in their metadata database. It just makes it faster. Use your VPN/tor/i2p

Coasting0942 ,

The reauthorization expanded it to anybody with a computer who passes on communications with the computer.

Coasting0942 ,

At least she didn’t hire a private investigator.

A human hunting for you can be pretty effective.

Coasting0942 ,

By that point you’d probably have 8000hp

Coasting0942 ,

They’re closer to a cooperative.

Coasting0942 ,

Censorship resistance means shit all if you’re signing everything you write with your IP address.

As opposed to my unpaid lemmy server admin learning about how his/her life is going to be shit if they don’t cooperate with gov agents.

Same result, but notice the extra step with lemmy?

There are no clients approaching nostr from a privacy respecting perspective. All the advice is “just run it on TAILS bro”.

When a client comes out that can bind to a VPN, or only send traffic to an onion address, then I’ll be interested.
