Magnetised needle and a steady hand is all you need.

Not voting for Biden is the same thing as voting for Trump.

Voting for Biden doesn't mean supporting him. It means preventing Trump from becoming president.

Putlers troll farms are maximally amplifying the Gaza tragedy in order to divide the west. The tragedy that his Iranian friends probably started for him.

crispy_kilt ,

Yes to all of that. The trolls are amplifying that sentiment is what I am saying. Like pouring petrol on a fire.

crispy_kilt ,

Nope, because, and this will shock you, they are not the same

crispy_kilt ,

Did you just call me a centrist? That's hurtful.

crispy_kilt ,

Danes annoying Swedes on purpose? I am shocked! Shocked I say!

Could they please, just, fuck off?

crispy_kilt ,

Good idea. Unfortunately I'm not in the EU (Switzerland)

crispy_kilt ,

No, not really

There are no we-passionately-hate-poor-and-or-homeless-persons-and-want-to-make-them-suffer-as-much-as-we-can laws in the spirit of that culture of the USA, no

In the civilised world, there are laws to the opposite, in fact.

In Switzerland, access to lakes and rivers is guaranteed by law, for everyone (even poor people! Imagine that) even, and especially, if that means walking on land owned by someone else, private or not.

In Sweden, people can even roam the entire country freely, by law.

It's not you specifically, it's the culture

How to randomly pad files before encryption to prevent file fingerprinting?

Hi, I was planning to encrypt my files with GPG for safety before uploading them to the cloud. However, from what I understand GPG doesn't pad files/do much to prevent file fingerprinting. I was looking around for a way to reliably pad files and encrypt metadata for them but couldn't find anything. Haven't found any...

crispy_kilt , (edited )

Any encryption worth being called that randomises itself such that the same file, encrypted twice with the same key, produces completely different ecrypted versions.

To put it another way, if similarities in files could be detected despite their encryption, then the encryption would be worthless.

Not really news. Proton follows the law. If they get a Swiss court order they will comply.

If you want to do illegal (under Swiss law) things, proton won't cover you.

Backdoor found in widely used Linux utility breaks encrypted SSH connections | Ars Technica (arstechnica.com)

TL;DR there was a backdoor found in the XZ program. All major distros have been updated but it is recommended that you do a fresh install on systems that are exposed to the internet and that had the bad version of the program. Only upstream distros were affected.

crispy_kilt ,

You’re probably on an older release of the backdoored package.

Nope, Debian uses a version from before the backdoor

Firefox allows for the full ublock origin on mobile.

I'm rawdogging my QHD on 14" at native resolution. 10pt font. Sue me

crispy_kilt ,

It works like that in many languages, no "to" necessary. English needs many little words such as "to" and "of" and whatnot to connect things because it lacks cases

crispy_kilt ,

This is most likely because the app keeps retrying. If it were successful, the number would be much lower.

crispy_kilt ,

Perhaps it is time we tell them real women also exist

crispy_kilt ,

200 lbs are 90 kg, just in case anyone else was wondering

Slide the tip of a dull knife under the side of the lid, then apply a little leverage so air can get in. Even easier, and wastes no power

Israel committing war crimes

Israel has a right to self-defense

Did you know that both of these statements can be true at the same time?

crispy_kilt ,

Your reply made little sense to me, I only just now understood where it comes from.

You probably think I am arguing in bad faith, just like the racists saying "all lives matter" as a dog whistle. I assure you, this is not the case. The crimes of Israel are terrible war crimes and those responsible need to be tried in an international court of human rights. The same goes for those responsible for the concert massacre.

I am saddened that people feel compelled to pick a side in this stupid an unnecessary war and then ignore, or at the very least excuse, the crimes of the side they picked.

The assholes of both the Israeli and the Hamas leaderships are complete and utter cunts. Normal people suffer because of their power politics. I hope you can see that.

Racism from the left is just so unexpected, but here we are

crispy_kilt ,

It is. I'll elaborate. The neonazis in France, Germany, Hungary, and other places with a growing nazi problem are calling for ethnostates. One country per ethnicity. No cultural exchange, no learning from other cultures, no exchange and most of all absolutely no exchange of people.

Now if you take the idiotic idea of "cultural appropriation" to its natural conclusion, you arrive at very nearly the same idea. Hermetically closed cultures separate from each other, no exchange. Everyone only gets to enjoy the culture they happen to be born in.

This is why it is racist. Because the separation of peoples and cultures is a racist idea.

Humanity absolutely thrives when cultures mix. The whole is so much more than the sum of its parts. Racism and bigotry cease to exist the more cultures and peoples mix. And I mean mix, not live separate lives that just happen to be in the same geographic location, just to be clear.

crispy_kilt ,

I'm interested in your opinion. Do you care to elaborate?

crispy_kilt ,

but as a way to stop them from “stealing” from other cultures

It's not possible to steal culture, this is ridiculous

Guys. The person running the website you use always can do and see everything
