Illiterate Domine

So that’s why Quetzalcoatlus stopped texting me back.

There’s more to a government than the president. Congress votes on funding like this.

About that

You’re the best, Jerry. Glad you were able to get things sorted!

Ah, that’d be after the switch then. @jerry@infosec.exchange is the admin for fedia (and a handful of other Fediverse services) if you’re interested in troubleshooting.

Fedia.io was pretty broken before switching from kbin to mbin. Depending on when you created the account, it may have just been busted.

It could happen. In China, among many other places, same-sex hand holding isn’t uncommon among friends and doesn’t indicate a romantic attachment. I dont imagine Biden and Xi have that kind of relationship, though.

There are many ways to setups full disk encryption on Linux, but the most common all involve LUKS. Providing a password at mount (during boot, for a root partition or perhaps later for a “data” volume) is a but more secure and more frequently done, but you can also use things like smart cards (like a Yubikey) or a keyfile (basically a file as the password rather than typed in) to decrypt.

So, to actually answer your question, if you dont want to type passwords and are okay with the security implementations of storing the key with/near the system, putting a keyfile on removable storage that normally stays plugged in but can be removed to secure your disks is a common compromise. Here’s an approachable article about it.

If you’re rooted, the BCR magisk module is an option. Working great on my Pixel.

The difference, as I understand it, is Beeper hasn’t claimed to not be doing that. Sunbird/Nothing touted E2EE and that was a lie.

That doesn’t look like contradictory information to me.

This article describes the contents of a few kits, but it’s pretty typical emergency stuff. A first aid kit, whistle, flashlight, some calories dense foods, maybe a Google-branded water bottle.

That tends to be how things develop when you’re talking about systems. There’s not a cackling Bad Guy engineering these things, but a system of socioeconomic carrots and sticks that, right now, favor exploitation. Schools and education happen within that incentive structure so its natural that they would take on it’s characteristics.

Blyesky doesn’t federate with ActivityPub/Mastodon or anything else at the moment. They say federation is coming, but its a different protocol than the Fediverse.

I made that move and had no issues. You can copy/paste your way through DNS setup and the rest is just configuring your proton account how you want.

You’ll want to be familiar with proton and some of the tradeoffs in its privacy model, but it’s most likely more feature-full than a hosting provider. Dreamhost, for one, is quite basic.

Significant Figures: am I a joke to you?

Well, I’m back and can confirm the sneaky DNS resolver. I have two roku devices and they both were making requests to 8.8.8.8.

Thanks for this post! TIL.

Interesting. I set an adblocking dns via DHCP and, as far as I know, the Roku respects it. Ads are blocked and I can see it failing to delivery telemetry in my dns logs (most persistent thing on the network).

I set a rule to catch outside dns to see if anything, the roku included, has been misbehaving.

Carson’s political beliefs and work with drug policy reform have made him a target for conspiracies and vitriol online. Popular pundits like Andy Ngo, Matt Walsh, and Nick Fuentes have all brought up Carson’s death, blaming it on “leftism,” anti-cop beliefs, and soft-on-crime sentiments. “The Ryan Carson story shows how leftism short circuits your brain and interferes with your ability to make common sense, instinctive judgment calls,” Walsh wrote on X (formerly Twitter).
