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

About that

You’re the best, Jerry. Glad you were able to get things sorted!

Ah, that’d be after the switch then. @jerry@infosec.exchange is the admin for fedia (and a handful of other Fediverse services) if you’re interested in troubleshooting.

Fedia.io was pretty broken before switching from kbin to mbin. Depending on when you created the account, it may have just been busted.

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.

Here’s a link to the anchor

You’ve got it all backwards. Einstein’s corpse is now energy and fast AF.

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.

Significant Figures: am I a joke to you?

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.
