a nation state can probably find a way

There’s no “probably”, they can surely find the way, because the decryption key is saved on Microsoft servers, they just need a subpoena for getting it

I’m sure some mad lad could hack together bash, git, and cron into an unholy mess that would do it

Sparkleshare basically did that and of course it sucked for syncing big binary files with frequent tiny changes

KeePass2Android has support for many cloud stuff. Host your DB on there, then KeePass2Android will sync with that when you change/open it

KeePass 2 on desktop can compare two databases and sync them. It has also some plugins to sync with cloud

I use noscript extensively and an approach like yours will break 99.9% of the websites. Everyone nowadays uses CDNs and all you’ll see is a broken HTML page with no images.

Probably if there’s a way to break the browser like that, you’ll be only be able to browse sites hosted on neocities

probably i would have ran it outside as the crack just silently “crashed” (while successfully dropped the malware as admin in the right spot, ready to be ran as admin at the next boot via the task scheduler) and i would have thought “maybe it doesn’t run in a sandbox/vm”.

But yes, in a hindsight, if i ran in sandboxie then i might have noticed that it had dropped suspiciously named files in common:startup with that nice file transfer GUI (unless if the malware detected sandboxie and did not run the malicious routines)

Couldn’t die = invincible and invulnerable from anything or “couldn’t die” from a monkey’s paw wish?

Because the latter might be “couldn’t die because in a few minutes you get a serious accident where you stay in a coma for 4 years and then die”

Something stupid, I was very tired after work and I don’t know why but I found a packet of silica gel in the kitchen shelves, and somehow I thought it was a snack, so I opened it and I have no idea why, I started to crunch on it. After a couple of minutes of chewing the silica gel spheres I woke up and realized my mistake and panicked, maybe those have copper sulphate because are blue, so I called the emergency number. They didn’t laugh of my stupidity and they reassured me that probably I wouldn’t need to be hospitalized. They were so nice that they called me after 30 and 60 minutes for a follow up on my health.

Adobe Reader on Linux? The one from the last decade? I can’t seem to think to a single valid reason to do so

I read as “Arch Linux drops support for GNOME” and my heart fluttered

Introducing: fish

And then you just need to remember the first letters of the previously typed command

What? I assumed those fascists were israel buddies.

Shocked to read this, unironically

This pisses me off a lot

They designed their photos app to always ask “y u no backup” and scare you “you gonna lose all your photos if u no backup” and ask to enable backup with the “no thanks” button under the fold

Enable backup = Gmail blocked within one hour because of all the photos we all have in our phones nowadays

So you have to pay or delete that pictures from their servers

Pay Google: unacceptable

Delete the pics from web: they get deleted from phone automatically and there isn’t an option to only delete from web but keep in phone

Disable the photos app on the phone: the (Google) camera app doesn’t show shot preview anymore because it says photos app is missing

They clearly had multiple meetings to make it harder as possible

Seems like only the EFI partition is missing. She told me “ls /home/her name” shows stuff but “ls /boot/efi” is empty

Apparently this happened by itself

I should have chosen something like silverblue but I wasn’t familiar with that

Pop os, a few months ago

I’m kinda hoping it was just that a state sponsored attacker showed up on their door and said “include this snippet or else…” otherwise it’s terrifying thinking of someone planning some long con like this

We are all relying on the honesty of a few overworked volunteers…

From that post, commits set to UTC+0800 and activity between UTC 12-17 indicate that the programmer wasn’t operating from California but from another country starting with C. The name is also another hint.

Unrelated, I really like the idea that the author of that blog post to place the favicon near each link

It’s available on an unofficial repository that can be optionally added to fdroid, it’s not available on fdroid

On mobile you’re forced to use their “open source” app that is only available on the closed source app stores and not on fdroid because it uses Google push services

This post is ironic, but the united states by showing their muscles and forbidding Huawei to use newer arm CPU designs or x86 chips without a specific export license, let the Chinese government to create a secret multibillion fund for RISC -V development
