In this specific case can do it but the bootloader unlock request must come from a Chinese ip address, from a verified Chinese number (get otp code via SMS) and wait like one month

They’re mostly configured to ignore it, at most quarantine it

I set the mail server to bounce everything that doesn’t match dkim.

I almost don’t receive spam anymore.

The problem is that sometimes some legitimate services didn’t configure their email server correctly

This could be an option but a little cumbersome to keep updated perhaps?

Debian on auto update with minimal packages lasts for years

Another option that I’m using is this:

1. I do a encrypted backup with Borg on a separate drive on my server
2. On my work desktop PC, Windows, at boot it connects via ssh and syncs that Borg backups on a new HDD that I purchased and installed, one way sync, silently and without prompts (We are a small business and I am allowed to do that, if you’re not allowed to do that it could be your parents PC)
3. Success syncs are pinged to healthchecks.io which emails me if after too many days (configurable) the sync hasn’t been completed
4. Errors are also sent to healthchecks.io
5. Company group policy settings then keeps my backup server automatically updated

Using the Yuzu case for guidance, dumping encryption keys, regardless of the source of those keys, is illegal

This is false, as the case is non existant, because it has been settled out of court. It has to be proven in court that is illegal, as there’s no law that says that dumping the keys from my own hardware that i paid with my own money is illegal.

Facebook not only sends the code to text without asking, but they love to just directly start the reset password procedure.

Now, that’s super weird. Are they assuming that, because last time I logged in was 6 months ago, I must have forgot my password?

At $12/terabyte/month it seems pretty expensive for media collection (I mean: family photos are irreplaceable but generic video?)

Other options are to use “glacier” tier S3 which is cheap to rent but ultra expensive to recover (but hopefully you won’t need that)

Or just put a pi+HDD hidden somewhere at work/parents and copy to that

How to make money with shitcoins 101:

1. Pay some $100k to some dev to create something the slightly differs from the existing ones

2. Pay some millions of dollars to some marketing agency to find a way to get this shitcoin popular. A funny name, a funny icon, or some solution in search of a problem. Something like “this shitcoin can lower the transfer fees of other shitcoins and also if you hold the bag you get 69% APR”

3. When it launches you immediately buy it for pennies, or even directly access some premined quota (like 30% of whole distribution) that the dev left for you

4. When idiots buy it, raising the price, you slowly dump it

5. Clueless people did the staking (lock them for a year) of millions of “cat coin”, worth $1 each at the time thinking that they are going to get 69% APR. They actually get the 69% APR, but the problem is that each “cat coin” after a year is worth $0.000001 each

It’s already the moment of selling high. Buy low is when they’re introduced. Shitcoins are generally going down with value. If you buy now you will end losing money 100%

None of them have a real practical application, it’s 100% speculation

I have a revolut account and for some reason they give $1 in shitcoins if you answer some questions like “bonk differs from the other shitcoins because it’s made for the lolz” or “floki does exactly the same of other shitcoins but slightly different”

The upside is that in this way they use less plastic. Cardboard can’t be transparent and people doesn’t separate the plastic from the cardboard when recycling.

We all know what razor blades look like so a photo can suffice, no?

He is insane

All that info is publicly available, but a nice CSV ready to be fed to spambots isn’t a really good idea…

If I was involved with wordpress for business, i would start to find a plan b, because now they target wp engine, then who’s next?

Nice try, openai bot (/s)

LOL genuinely thought it was a case of “engineer hates the user”, instead it was a case “management said we need to save 5 cents for the voltage regulator”

Google enforces rules only against small devs. Big companies are allowed to do what the fuck they want.

Example with one of those “ad viewing apps disguised as games”, every single screenshot is misleading, showing a different game to what actually will be downloaded. It’s clearly a violation of Google Play terms that read:

Screenshots must demonstrate the actual in-app or in-game experience, focusing on the core features and content so users can anticipate what the app or game experience will be like. Use captured footage of the app or game itself.

In the example not a single screenshot demonstrate the actual game experience.

Google sees the big cash influx from ad impressions and IAP from whales and is closing all the eyes

Tencent and Alibaba instead are still allowed to illegally fingerprint and track the user by placing tracking data in /Pictures/.gs_fs0 which for some reason they can access even without storage/photo permission

I saw a bank in my country requiring to have the permission for apps usage, the one that you have to go in settings and toggle it. Refuse and it closes the app

I don’t know a single bank that hasn’t reinvented the wheel and is using their app as a glorified authentication app for generating totp codes

And then i complained that my bank blocked access if adb was enabled…

If there’s no loan attached to that account, for me this message reads “sorry, we don’t want you as a customer. Please contact a bank teller to have a full refund, uninstall this app and don’t forget to leave a 1 star review”

I’m not willing to compromise on this shit. My phone is my phone.

It’s a cr2032 from Duracell with that coating, later I’m going to try that

I can’t believe everyone knows such an obscure reference
