that’s the point, to secure itself against $enemy-nation the state will first secure itself against the citizenry, by having a way of compromising citizens security on demand

ultimately governnment only cares that IT can exploit the mechanism, not that other actors cannot do so via the same mechanism

strip away all the obfuscation layers (there are so many lol) and thats pretty much the extent of the thought process of natsec orgs. you’re the threat. its an utterly retarded mind virus thats infected them we can all agree, but from an individual’s standpoint we can only protest and hope to shame the policymakers into a constructive course of action

Skinks are cool but they don’t beat the olm

Rule of Acquisition #3: Never spend more on an acquisition than you have to

wouldn’t profilers simply track via the domain tld instead of the whole address…shopping1 at uniquedomain, bank2 at uniquedomain , etc

and in the case of aliasing, couldnt a domain provider tell where the aliases rout to and sell that info as a side earner?

I use the free tier of a non-M/G email provider, and keep my use of email to a minimum. I would happily pay for it in cash but I haven’t found that provider yet, and Stripe hates prepaid cards. A lot of discretionary shopping is done in cash

Credentials are local and employ entries from a custom dictionary I made with vocab that combines multiple languages with randomized and inconsistently applied letter substitutions, to which a random string is added (it’s probably no more secure than a random string alone but I enjoyed getting some sed XP, sue me)

Certain browsing habits and needs have their own browser profile. I used to attempt user agent obfuscation but further reading suggests spoof attempts are trivial to detect by even crude scripts

The one layer that never gets enough study is hardware and software compartmentalization. The demand for sync everywhere always is itself a threat vector

Media consumption is LAN only sourced from p2p networks 🏴

The DOGE is doing a better job teaching people about the value (and problems) of data custodianship than the EFF at this rate

A firearm isn’t worth much money in the scheme of things either its real worth is in publicly displaying it on your person, and having it loaded

So does MS know what I look like and have my age and phone no? presumably the tenant cloud is zero-knowledge from Redmond’s perspective

this is still objectionable

why does my employer presume it can commandeer my personal property? the only sound policy is to never let work stuff touch personal computers and vice versa. The workplace is like a gas, if you give it the empty space it will keep expanding to fill it

where the hell did my property rights go once one of my PCs got a radio?

the point I did a poor effort getting across was that obama shouldn’t be thought of as a leader with his move. like all politicians he follows crowds, elbows his way to the front and gets mistaken for an originator of ideas. Many of them are as bad as movie stars in their pathologic need to be seen and heard, even after they’ve left office

I will never understand the fitness metrics craze…I don’t want my health maintenance to be more systematized than observing two or three core principles and letting the rest sort itself out

Can’t show you the old stuff, if we show you the old stuff you wont watch the new stuff

how shielded are enterprise accounts from the data harvest?

United America States format

dude what

The politicians represent you in a representative democracy, the whole point of their office is to be open to persuasion. I would be looking at that group’s effective network building and asking where are the groups representing my concerns/aspirations with such effectiveness

I hope all aussies don’t share your mindset, otherwise it’s a lost country

Look at what’s really happening though: the state is implicitly saying you can have free expression provided your reach is miniscule/ineffectual. The moment you get traction is the moment it will move to block use of your preferred platforms, or simply hard-/algorithmically ban you - it’s functionally identical to suppression of speech/association

They rely on the public’s credulity when they insist freedoms are intact because ‘only one website’ is verboten. It’s a dirty exploit. In reality, all platform denial should be protested

Says one of two things - either the guys opsec was comically sloppy and nailing him was free real estate, or getting this particular target was personal and thus the investigation got much more resources allocated than normal. Most LEO orgs (and prosecutors) just want to check the box that says YES we have successfully pwned 1 IP “criminal” in the past 1300 days, now let us continue harassing single mothers and busting drug labs in peace

Uncle Sam has ways of making other jurisdictions discover they have fux to give. Bulgaria is a good example from recent years. Other countries are better at containing him on the copyright question eg Australia, Canada, Netherlands, etc

Obama never struck me as being personally interested in the free web, his move to bs shows he’s an attention whore who has simply sensed the trend
