Not to be an asshole but I’m pretty sure they just filmed pig cuts

Isn’t this from scp 5000?

The whole point is that everything is in an official ledger, that can be argued over in front of a judge.

Best you can do is say you don’t consent for your data to be sold. Find a smaller bank or a credit union where they have to give a shit about their customers.

Abstract quote:

In particular, laser printers are a primary source of particle emission that increases the concentrations of particulate matter in indoor atmosphere by releasing substantial quantities of electrostatic fine particles, at rates comparable with tobacco smoking and incense burning.

Sunny top secret art of war zeroth rule: Don’t get in a war idiot.

Somebody said laser. Those things vaporize toner into your air.

A printer where you can actually see the ink tank and you can refill it.

Read a material science book. Then think about exposure anytime you see plastic.

I’m not going back to typing my grocery list manually. So I’m fucked in that part of my life.

Edit: thank you to everybody suggesting privacy preserving methods of grocery list maintenance. I’ve already considered them.

Ah shit, is this the time line where privacy isn’t needed cause people want better AI?

• they sue you for a portion of your future savings, because you single-handedly responsible for their imaginary loss of profits, judge agrees.
• free tier vpns are good enough. But the competition amongst “no log” vpns is pretty fierce. People say you can only trust 3 specific vpns who would rather shut down than spy for a government, but if you’re just downloading movies then you can expand your choices.
• the point of the vpn is to hide your ip address. Self hosting in your home defeats purpose. The best free option is using I2P for torrenting.
• Wait till December for all the Christmas discounts. An annual bundle works out to $2-4 a month.

When was the last time VLC paid $50K USD for a proper security audit?

It’s possible to get a virus from any data that enters your computer full stop.

Likelyhood wise: that virus on the MKV will have to attack the operating system preview system (which means you fucked all the way up to personal nation state attention), or attack the video player (which is a lot more likelier, they discover theoretical exploits all the time).

You’re talking about streaming with VLC? Was it a trusted source? Cause otherwise the FBI or script kiddie has probably fucked you up.

As a side note, I’ve completed writing this guide and have found that HexChat is no longer supported.

Now that a sign of a true IRC user

It’s protocols over platforms. I’m not too worried about the protocol.

My opinion is that concealed filming be inadmissible in court without a “warrant” to allow its entry as evidence. Prosecutors have to state what they hope the concealed video will contain, and only that portion can be used.

Too many missing people for me to agree entirely that concealed filming is completely bad.

I don’t believe that the NSA has a portal giving them direct access (probably naive).

They definitely have a secret agent 🕵️‍♀️ nerd on the inside providing intel on the structure. Maybe inject exploits or guide them when needed.

They definitely have a direct e-mail address to cloudflare legal to serve national security letters that cloud flare is obligated to comply with. Which is a portal with extra steps, but which cloud flare can raise a fuss if they notice the requests are turning into vacuum cleaners, and not union membership research.

Most important part of the blog post:

We are planning a 3rd party security audit for the protocols and cryptography design in July 2024, and also the security audit for an implementation in December 2024/January 2025, and it would hugely help us if some part of this $50,000+ expense is covered with donations.

Signal is a close second.

I think the phrasing is wrong. GoG wants a public document detailing the legal estate transfer. Can’t just email them a death certificate and claim your a beloved grandson.

People have died because of wills. Shit gets messy.

And theoretical reliability. Stuff breaks down quicker at smaller sizes says my lizard brain
