I have yet to hear of someone wearing out an SSD on a desktop/laptop system (not server, I'm sure there's heavy applications that can run 24/7 and legitimately get the job done), even considering bugs like the Spotify de

You're not wrong that one needs to have some trust in the devs of open source code, but if you are this level of paranoid then having the code available is essential to your threat model because it allows you to build it yourself so yo

"Many" safety features don't work? My understanding is that Google unsafetynet is the *only* thing that doesn't work because it's by-design trying to detect if the OS has been modified (or completely reinstalled in

Next, as countries are requiring more and more age verification online, the EU accidentally outlaws GrapheneOS by introducing an age verification system that requires an OS certified by Google or Apple. https://chaos.social/

Note that they're also one of the only ones who can unilaterally choose to preinstall this on a majority of devices around the world. Of course I agree that it's good that they do it, for free and all, but to put it in perspecti

Note that those are three completely false events . The survey results Google published show 15% of people not feeling any shaking (neither strong nor light). That's still a good figure, but reading there were only 3 false positives g

I thought this was ancient but apparently not. Searched back a bit: - Feb 2016: third-party app starts doing it, so you had to go out of your way to install it but it may hit critical mass at some point. This is probably what I was thinking

I don't know that someone who's barely seven can be expected to have an informed opinion that would be worth adding as an appendix. It might be cute, or interesting to learn about child development to see what they would answer at

I'm not sure it's spoiled. From what I hear of colleagues with kids, they would wish you came home riding a new pony about 12 minutes after you left to work. Another colleague was "gone" too much from the daughter's

In the ticket I just opened (see sibling thread), I asked which blocklist my domain was on. Maybe let's see what comes out of it, perhaps they can improve the process (e.g. drop that blocklist, or notify the abuse record of domains whi

Does that setup fall back to 8.8.8.8 if 9.9.9.9 fails to resolve? Quad9 has a very aggressive blocking policy (my site with user-uploaded content was banned without even reporting the malicious content; if you're a big brand name it se

I became a bit disillusioned with quad9 when they started refusing to resolve my website. It's like wetransfer but supporting wget and without the AI scanning or interstitials. A user had uploaded malware and presumably sent the link t

Similarly from a hacker's point of view, I also think vulnerability reporting is in a downwards spiral. Particularly the ones organised through a platform like this just aren't reaching the right people. It used to be pgp email to
