I care, what do you think I could do ?

Israël is backed up by the most powerful country in the world both politically and militarily.

Many people do care, it’s just not something they can fix.

We can donate to lessen the suffering but at the end of the day, one dude in the Whitehouse could probably get a cease fire in minutes if they really wanted to.

There were a lot of people making the case that anybody who can open your computer because they have your password (abusive partners included) could then have a lot of access to your activity.

Isn’t this true for any process with elevated privileges on your computer?

The valorant anticheat could just as well get all your data without you ever knowing it.

At the very least it’s better to have that feature in a secure setup rather than the Microsoft approach where it seems like an afterthought at best.

You know I’d rather people be on Linux where you can check what is going on rather than blindly trusting Microsoft (or Apple) that they only do what they tell me they do on my system.

I’m just saying that it’s not good to immediately assume what Apple will do will be as bad as Microsoft. They could take a bad idea and make it a slightly less bad idea.

Also security and privacy has very little value for the average consumer so it’s naive to think the feature won’t be used and useful to many people.

Most people give willingly their data to social networks so these kind of feature and their effect on privacy seems a bit pointless to me. If you don’t like that kind of feature maybe a closed sourced system is not for you after all.

It’s like people are worried about leaking data on what they do on their Windows computer all the while they already sent a ton of telemetry to Microsoft for years. Nvidia will happily scan all the apps you start for troubleshooting purposes.

Every little bit helps but I really think using windows and asking for your privacy to be respected is strange.

Windows 11 was already a privacy nightmare before this feature was tested.

I disagree, I think Apple will do this feature with privacy/security in mind which Microsoft didn’t do.

I absolutely don’t like Apple but I think it’s undeniable that they try to keep their OS secure. It’s still a golden prison but at least it takes privacy fairly seriously.

Microsoft didn’t seem to think about the challenges of that feature and it looks like a draft from an intern after a 1 hour meeting.

Obviously, something that scan a user screen has some implications that are hard to miss.

So yeah it’s easy to point at people and say they are fanboys. But in this case the fanboys would be probably right in the sense that Apple already did better than Microsoft when it comes to privacy.

At the end of the day both are businesses that you shouldn’t trust with your data but I would trust a lot more Apple than Microsoft for doing this right.

If you do self host I suggest reading carefully the Gmail guidelines for mails. They are the leaders in the field and they dictate the level of security required.

DNS forward and reverse, DKIM, SPF, DMARC, ARC, DANE, bounce signature etc. Email is indeed a very complicated thing to host. I work on emails system all day and and I wouldn’t host my own mail.

Even worse I’m hoping email disappear and another technology takes it place. Emails are unreliable and outdated, they need to go.

It affects secrecy a bit but you still have to take at least two different ballots into the voting booth. Obviously you are bringing your own ballot and taking one already printed so it’s not really a secret.

Also there was taped garbage bags in the voting booth so that people can throw away their discarded ballots but that’s also a great way to show what every else has been voting before me…

I still think our voting system is quite ok but there are definitely flaws.

I would have voted for the Pirate Party if there was a ballot for them.

Didn’t print it beforehand so I couldn’t.

Last time I printed my own ballot they just didn’t count it and my vote was considered invalid. Even though I had the exact size required by regulations…

There should be laws and fines for this.

Here in France you can technically be fined for not securing properly your wifi. It was put in place by something called HADOPI which tries to catch movies shared on torrents. Unsurprisingly, the lobby of record labels managed to even make sure you couldn’t pretend someone hacked your wifi and downloaded illegally. But I’m sure the same bill but applied to businesses wouldn’t ever pass.

Businesses could leak all your sensitive data and they won’t get anything beside bad PR but a single french citizen not proficient enough to secure his wifi may get in trouble.

If there is one thing I secure as much as possible it’s my main email address.

If you think about it that’s the most important account of all.

If you lose it, every account using this mail as recovery is also pwned.

I understand this is frustrating but I agree with others that there is not much else discord could do.

A long time ago I used a CLI download manager that could download from different mirrors at the same time.

I think it was a tool called axel and it worked very well.

The EU can’t even pay for fediverse servers?

Great acting honestly.

Conan was probably suffering a lot from that last dab… Even the host seemed a bit concerned by the amount of sauce on the last wings.

One of the best episodes for sure.

We also have that in France.

Some peers on torrents are indeed tracking uploaders. Here you receive a letter saying which file you shared and when.

Blockbusters are the most likely to be tracked.

For me I avoided that system with alldebrid’s sort of seedbox. And direct download with alldebrid.

Here as far as I know, a datacenter IP is free to download anything and everything on torrents… Which it then uploads to DDL sites for me. And since they can’t don’t track DDL it’s safe.

Have you checked when the file was last modified.

If it fits the date you did the Spotify command then I wouldn’t worry much about it.

If you still are concerned you can send the file to virustotal to be safe.

If it’s more concerning for you for a functional reason then move the file elsewhere if nothing break you should be fine.

OP’s previous toaster :

As far as I recall he actively seeks to commit cybercrimes and even says so himself.

It’s not the first young hacker on the spectrum that has urges to hack stuff.

It’s a whole different question when someone is conscious he is doing something illegal and actively seeks to do it.

This is not another Aaron Swartz story imo. It’s an autistic individual that doesn’t hack out of curiosity but in order to damage businesses, and people or benefit himself.

I would use the second one as a backup.

You could use one of these USB SDcard reader and script something that backups the content of the running/live SDcard to the second one on the USB stick. With dd or something you could have an always ready backup SDcard of the RasPi system.

That or using an old Android phone as a media center and putting the second SDcard in that.

Or using an old Android phone as a surveillance camera but that would be a bit overkill to have 256Gb.

Also if you have an early model of the Switch you could hack it to run pi… homebrews and in that case having a super large SDcard could be good.

Good job !

I highly recommend trying out the various online regex editor.

These WISIWIG kind of editors are great because you immediately see what the regex is catching and for what reason.

I took the first one in my search results but try different ones.

Also I used GPT to get some regex for some specific strings and it can be helpful to get a quickstart at building a specific regex.

In that case I was building a regex for a specific log from postfix.

PS: just make sure to select the correct flavor of regex you are using in these online tools.

Edit: Also one of my favorite YT channels has pretty cool videos on RegEx : https://youtu.be/6gddK-cOxYc?si=0bnNkSDzifjdxwjU

Only seen that on the train platform when it’s open air. In a closed building I haven’t seen that in years personally and I regularly take trains in France.

It’s still strictly forbidden to smoke in a train station and the vast majority of times people respect that.

Vaping on the other hand is quite common.

Could be a bit concerning if some chars are interpreted.
