What is your threatmodel?

How do you feel about encryption?

I see you Ted Kaczinsky

Came to check how high this comment was. Ofcourse it’s the top comment.

What is your threatmodel here?

The problem for me with completely self hosting it is that it’ll be relatively hard to get my backup, availability and sync requirements satisfied without a lot of effort.

Whereas I trust encryption in theory enough to hand my encrypted data to anyone. If the implementation is properly audited then I also trust that.

Most of my passwords are for accounts with 2fa anyway so even if both the storage leak and the encryption turn out to be subpar my threatmodel is still not violated.

Did you bother to read past the first paragraph?

+1 for obituary shirt

Adding a DENY ALL line to the top of iptables, getting disconnected, realizing that I’m fucking SSHing into this removed…

I don’t understand this either. There’s no fucking algorithm overlord here right? No fucking tiktok, youtube bullshit required.

If you want to say fuck, fucking say fuck.

On another note. Thx for introducing me to the robustness principle ♥️

Does such an angle exist from the google perspective? Probably.

Is it ‘just’ this and nothing else, I’d argue no.

Matters tend to be more complex than simple black and white statements.

I for one think Mozilla is one of the most visible actors with regards to privacy promoting thought and FOSS, with widespread ‘mainstream’ reach. If it wasn’t for Firefox I’d have to use chromium for instance, and that would make the world a sadder day.

I do agree that funding from google is an obvious conflict of interest and probably influences policy in a way not a 100% aligned with humanitarian goals. This is definitely less than ideal and I think everybody involved on this side of the fence would like to see that change. Maybe you could help them with that?

I love it. Reddit time has been decreased by 95% and do not miss it at all.

You do you but if you are looking for a keyboard centric workflow you might have a better time with sidebery and vimium.

Define difference. For me personally it’s pretty cool to finally have some sort of community that seems like minded on at least the surface level instead of just constantly being stared at as if I were a fish who just questioned the usefulness of water.

Will it spontaneously make come about utopia? Probably not but if that’s your lower bar for doing anything I’m pretty sure you are gonna have a bad time.

You are saying this is a good thing right?

What I find truly amazing is that they have found a way to produce all the technology required for this system without any emissions!

Skill - an ability to do an activity or job well, especially because you have practised it

Seeing that almost nobody around me can take proper breaks because of all sorts of habitual factors it does seem like something you have to practise. Also, it’s an activity of actively not focusing on a stressor is still an activity. (Debatable in a tricky zen master way I know, but are you actually a tricky zen master?)

Seems like a skill to me.

How the fuck did this article go from heat in Brazil to long covid research without any fucking bridge 🥲

I mean, I somewhat agree with the points its making and I’m heavily doubting the validity. When someone is not willing to further their own confirmation bias you really need to start asking questions.

I see plenty of Empathy in the world, compassion is what we need I think. Empathy ironically makes people egotistical becaause if the feeling they emphesize with is bad they might blame the victom for transmitting them ‘bad vibes’ for instance. Or you might make an unfair decision because it appealed to your emotions. However with compassion you recognize someone is in need of help and try to provide that help, sidestepping all sorts of nasty pitfalls and leaving you a lot chiller.

God yes one of my favorite quotes! <3
