Very classy merc 👌

The owner clearly cares for that thing well - the finish, bodywork and chrome-like elements look absolutely immaculate

Flash drive hidden under the carpet and connected via a USB extension, holding the decryption keys - threat model is a robber making off with the hard drives and gear, where the data just needs to be useless or inaccessible to others.

There’s a script in the initramfs which looks for the flash drive, and passes the decryption key on it to cryptsetup, which then kicks off the rest of the boot mounting the filesystems underneath the luks

I could technically remove the flash drive after boot as the system is on a UPS, but I like the ability to reboot remotely without too much hassle.

What I’d like to do in future would be to implement something more robust with a hardware device requiring 2FA. I’m not familiar with low level hardware security at all though, so the current setup will do fine for the time being!

Salty snacks, fried or baked 😁. Failing that, those tiny 7" pizzas that fit into my Ninja, ready in literally 8 mins

Used to like preparing food, but seems like such a hassle now

I think so, assuming these malicious packages are all primitive enough to just look for the single file in a user’s home folder lol. The only downside here is needing to provide the keyfile location to ssh every time you want to connect… Although a system search would pretty much defeat that instantly as you mention

SSH keyfiles can be encrypted, which requires a password entry each time you connect to a SSH server. Most linux distros that I’ve used automatically decrypt the SSH keyfile for you when you log in to a remote machine (using the user keyring db), or ask you for the keyfile password once and remember it for the next hour or so (using the ssh-agent program in the background).

On Windows you can do something similar with Cygwin and ssh-agent, however it is a little bit of a hassle to set up. If you use WSL i’d expect the auto keyfile decryption to work comparably to Linux, without needing to configure anything

Looked up what “fawning” meant, never heard that word before

praising someone too much and giving them a lot of attention that is not sincere in order to get a positive reaction

Haven’t watched the video so I’m unsure of the context, whether it’s about a neurotypical as the recipient of fawning, or a neurotypical fawning another individual

I think they would start obfuscating the relevant code to get around it

Many ad networks and AABs do something similar (especially Admiral) in an attempt to evade ad blocking extensions

Pressure shortens that timeline significantly IMO, similar to what happened with USB-C

From GoG specifically, as they patch the older games on their store to “just run” on modern Windows

For me it’s the ability to set up a shared instance with the base request URL, and set headers for things like the user’s token, allowing all requests made with that shared Axios instance to be sent to the right path with the token without needing to define them for each individual request.

To be honest though something similar can be done with spread syntax in the Fetch API’s options parameter

it’s got telemetry on by default.

Very, very hard pass. Might even blow out my suspension doing so

A lot of jQuery’s features are now available in native JS - would also suggest just using native JS anyway because jQuery won’t throw any errors into the console if a selector matches no elements etc.

The only additional library I’ve needed recently for (personal work) is Axios for requests - easier than working with the Fetch API in some cases

Ohhh my apologies - just went again to look and saw it. I think I missed it because it doesn’t show as an image until you tap it

This would fit in pretty nicely at [email protected] too

Edit: sorry, I may have misunderstood your post - free email != email masking.

My original post below…

Curious why you consider email address masking services as for those with “drastic anonymity” requirements?

I personally don’t think so: they are pretty much just a digital P.O. box, and are typically not anonymous in any way (subpoena/court order to the provider). They are built-in to Firefox too, it will automatically create new ones OOTB as you sign up on websites, if you click the autofill.

They are however IMO one effective tool out of many to restrict the ability of data brokers and hacking groups (aggregated breach datasets) alike from making money from your online presence without your consent.

In almost all cases this data is freely searchable for law enforcement and private investigators, allowing them to avoid going through the legal system to investigate and possibly detain you for things you’re not guilty of

User looks like they’ve been banned completely! We’ll need a mod to remove this…

If they’re easy to get, why not have them 😉

international law known as Investor-State Dispute Settlement (ISDS), through which private corporations are able to sue governments that implement legislation that constrains their profits.

Why does this even exist ☹️

If, say, a government attempted to force an international fossil fuel company to clean up after an oil spill, or introduced measures to disincentivize smoking, those governments could be sued

Próspera launched an $11 billion ISDS case against the government of Honduras, claiming that its repeal of the ZEDE laws violated the terms of existing international treaties. That amount, $11 billion, represents about two-thirds of the government’s annual budget.

Wow. To be honest, after reading the rest of the article I can see why guillotines are so appealing.

Truly a sad state of things when a billionaire has the freedom to legally bully goverments smaller than them. This will just end up hurting the country IMO, as the govt’s legal money needs to be pulled from somewhere

This is how I do it 👌 no need to install another when the pi already comes with one OOTB.

If OP is looking for VNC clients for zorin OS, there’s an app called “Connections” in the store which works great
