Illiterate Domine

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

About that

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.

.bak gang rise up.

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.

Plasma isn’t a KDE OS, but Neon is.

Often, if an rss link isn’t on the page, there’s still a feed available. /rss and /feed are the most common places to find it.

I’d be interested in utilization data before and after that change. Anecdotally, I use Signal much less after SMS was removed. With one app, I could opportunistically use Signal, when the other person had it, and send an SMS otherwise. Now I have to decide what kind of message to send before opening an app and learning my options. Most of those quick messages have moved back to SMS for me.

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.

Most self-hosters are probably using dns services through their registrar, but you don’t have to. A registrar with poor api support might still be a good choice, if that was the only negative.

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.

DNS blocking (Pihole, adaware, nextdns…) Can take care of those ads on dedicated streaming boxes.

There’s a spike in 2021 and then things started to come back to earth, but its an overall upward trend throughout that time.

I do and it works great! I mostly did this to limit the blast radius of breaches, but aliases also provide an easy way to send those kinds of things to both me and my spouse.

Santa?

Not extensively, the keyboard is at work right now, but I’ve fired up a few things to try it out. It’s a well-built mechanical keyboard and performs like you’d expect in that regard. Ortholinear key placement takes a bit of getting used to, but it doesn’t take long to build that new muscle memory. By the time you’re typing comfortably on it, gaming would likely be fine.

I have an Ergodox EZ from ZSA and have been really impressed with both the keyboard and the company. I got mine with Silent Reds but later swapped out for some clickier Zilent switches. Switches are easy to swap, so you have a lot of options there.

When I got mine, there was an issue with it losing connection (I think the USB port solders had broken) and ZSA support was really easy to work with.
