  • That does go a long way towards explaining why there are so many Bluetooth vulnerabilities, thanks for the info. Looking at the list of Bluetooth protocols wiki page gives me a headache. Surely there is a better standard, and I see things like HaLow, ZigBee, Z-Wave and other custom protocols, but it seems like there should be a very cleanly well-documented alternative to do the basics that everyone expects BT to do. This, coming from a total noob, speaking completely out of my anus. I just know that as a BT user, it’s a crapshoot whether there will be major audio delay, and pause/play actually worked, that’s if pairing works in the first place. But if something did come along I wonder if there would even be adoption among consumer devices.

    And have eyes good enough to look very closely and detect any small . or `s that are out of place, and be current on all methods of sanitization, catching any and all confusing variable names doing funny things, and never getting mentally overloaded doing it.

    I wouldn’t be surprised at all if teams at NSA & co had game months where the teams that find the highest number of vulns or develop the most damaging 0day exploits get a prize and challenge coin. Then you have the teams that develop the malware made to stay stealthy and intercept data for decades undetected, and the teams that play mail agent and intercept packages containing core internet backbone routers to put hardware ‘implants’ inside them.

    These are the things Snowden showed us a small sliver of in 2013, over a decade ago, some of which was well aged by that point.

    The days of doing illegal things for funsies on the internet, like learning how to hack hands-on, are over if you don’t want to really risk prison time. Download vulnerable virtual machines and hack on those.

    But if you’re worried about a random maintainer or packager inserting something like a password stealer or backdoor and letting it hit a major distro with a disastrous backdoor that doesn’t require a PhD in quantum fuckography to understand, chances are likely big brother would alert someone to blow the whistle before it hit production, as they likely did with xzutils.

    Yeah but he’s just a temporarily inconvenienced billionaire, the rest of these welfare queens are out here collecting rent and sitting around all day. They don’t need the money like he does. As soon as he gets a job, he’ll hustle that first billion in no time.

    His YouTube shorts (500/day goal) is videos of Elon musk saying things, with the background music alternating between the sigma male tune and the movie clip tune.

    Did you see how ELON MUSK OWNED💯 DON LEMON by getting flustered at the question of “half your advertisers have left the platform, if X fails, isn’t that on you?” so he told Don he should choose his words carefully because the interview clock only had 5 minutes left? And then Don was OWNED because he rephrased the question?

    LMAO. SUCK IT CNN. OWNED!




  • While that’s strange in your case (aren’t chanterelles one of the guys you have to cook very thoroughly or they’re neuro/cardiotoxic?) they’ve been monitoring the air for particulate and haven’t found anything dangerous, but it wouldn’t hurt to shoot an email off to a funguy-ologist in the region to see if they think it has merit, and can contact the relevant authorities if that’s the case. Then you win the ego game if it turns out that’s what it was.

    Lemmy is reddit 3.0. Early on, Reddit was basically only a website for tech nerds and misfits; atheism and jailbait were some of the most visited subreddits, idpol and divpol weren’t a make-or-break-your-family issue back then but there were still a ton of terminally online furries (yes if you’re a furry you’re weird, but weird is fine, let that freak flag fly.) I’m including myself in the group of outcasts and misfits, and my freak flag flies in weird ways too. I’ve been on Reddit since the default UI was like this, although it hadn’t changed much over the years before the redesign. Notice the quality of submissions though - it was a place for the intellectually curious.

    But you have a large subset of users who use pedantry and grammar nazi`ism as a way to feel powerful when they’re powerless. It’s like picking on those lower than you, when you’re in the bottom of the pecking order.

    Those people saw reddit go from their bastion of freedom to the corporate ad-haven it is today and all came here. You also have a lot of younger people with the time to kill and are just trying something new.






  • ProtonVPN, RiseupVPN and BrightVPN(only for windows), limited ones Windscribe and PrivadoVPN

    Where did you get this idea?

    Mullvad, IVPN, Perfect Privacy, and a few others have had independent audits of their no-log behavior and in some cases, law enforcement audits. They sure as hell don’t proxy your traffic. They all accept Monero and cash. They all have multihop.

    Edit: I see you said free. Yeah, I wouldn’t trust a free VPN, regardless. If you’re not paying for the product, you are the product.
