most likely, yes. It’s shocking how shitty the security measures are on so many things.

There was a game a few years ago where the DRM was so insanely aggressive it wouldn’t accept a legitimate key, and it only took about 2 minutes to break the DRM

Ever wonder why big tech companies go through data-breaches constantly? but 0% of privacy friendly things ever have that problem?

That’s because your data on those privacy friendly services is encrypted with its own key so anyone who wants to break in and steal data would need to break into each account one at a time…so that’s why facebook, google and amazon have databreaches all the time. because of a combo of shitty security and social engineering

privacy friendly services don’t allow their workers to have the ability to give away the goods

I’ll give you that, but I blame the public schools for conditioning kids into not using their brains

if that’s a reference to something I don’t know it

but a safe that doesn’t have anything digital inside of it wouldn’t run a python script

An insider threat was basically the only kind possible, but the only “hacked” output would just be a failed “off” state, which wouls be replaced.

Exactly, the computers that used to control our nukes were so old and so simple that they literally can’t do anything but what they were designed to do, they require physically inserting old floppy disks and manually entering codes to access, no network access, no ability to multitask, so malware can’t run in parallel with the other process…singular for the word “process” because those old computers can’t multitask

now they’re using modern computers that just recently got hacked with a sharepoint vulnerability…by the way, a whitelisting application that indiscriminately blocks everything that hasn’t already been allowed to run would’ve blocked the processes of that exploit and prevented anything from happening…I actually use something like that on my windows PCs

All those prehistoric old farts in our government thought that would be an “upgrade” and then they probably just used norton to secure it because they’re too stupid to research anything that might be better

Mechanical safes only, no electricity needed, no hacking possible…just like the computers we used to use to control nukes. Which could literally only do the one thing they were designed to do and nothing else, they couldn’t be hacked

I’ve been accused of being a chatbot before.

No, I’m just autistic

two questions…

Is jellyfin used for anything other than watching pirated copies of media?

Is that a stupid question?

I haven’t actually been diagnosed with ADHD only autism. The pandemic lockdowns gave me ADHD

this is why having digital ID would be horrible for everyone

always assume you’re compromised to some degree

The people doing the calls are overwhelmingly impoverished,

not always, but even in the cases where it is like that, these scumbags know what they’re doing, they know they’re trying to steal from people through fraud. Several of my family members with dementia were scammed repeatedly by the same scammers

you know what else? scammers share information about their victims with other scammers, usually through facebook groups, whatapp and/or telegram

and when they’re first setting up RD on the victim’s PC, they set up several of them, including ConnectWise.

most of the people doing scam calls there are from wealthy and/or well connected family

most of the time the cops in india will make a big show of arresting them, but the scammers are released shortly after

A library is a tax-funded service and you’re expected to return anything you check out from them.

Anything controlled by a centralized bank is evil.

the ministry of truth in china would be monitoring where those emails are caming and going at minimum.

In developed countries where people don’t get arrested for wrongthink mullvad is great, I’m just saying, be prepared if you plan on going to a place with a censorship firewall

Good to know, but how can you safely request them without giving away that you’re using them?

What method does the request go through? What happens when those proxies get blocked by the censorship firewalls too?

Unless you are willing to do the math, “no entropy really” deserves a [citation needed]

what kind of password has more entropy? one with capital and lowercase letters, numbers, math symbols and puncuation marks?

or the one with only numbers?

Is there really a citation needed for that?

It’s just numbers, no punctuation marks, no letters, no math symbols. No entropy really.

For most people that’s not an issue, but some people out there can guess them.

one way to mitigate that problem is simply to not load your mullvad account with more than 1 year of time at any given time. If your mullvad account has like…10 years of time then yeah, lots of people are going to mootch if they figure out which number has that

Or even if they don’t mootch, they could just remove the devices on your account and fuck with you

it’s just a string of numbers with no password
