How does recovering from a broken/lost/stolen device work in this scenario? I'm assuming it's the same as other MFA methods, namely using a recovery code that was given at the time of enrollment, or am I wrong in that li

You can also write very clear instructions on the recovery messages. I plan on doing this very thing for my disk decryption passphrase and password database. It's a standard package available in the base repos, and I'll have step

When a literal post-it note will achieve the same function, it most definitely is a luxury. It's just another form of peacocking.

HPPD and substance-induced psychosis are very real, however I don't know of any cases that were the result of microdosing.

It just seems like we're moving trust further and further down the stack. Sure, you can do verification of your OS, but then the question becomes can you trust your firmware, hardware, etc.

Everybody had to start somewhere. Yesterday's skids are today's legit researchers. If this is something they actually want to pursue, it could make a world of difference.

How long until this gets exploited for surveillance capitalism? Unfortunately I doubt much effort to defeat this form of fingerprinting will happen until it is already being abused. Edit: Upon reading the cited paper, the final sentence in

If you can't control where your device is making DNS requests then it's not your device. It's the manufacturer's surveillance capitalist revenue generator. We need more devices that actually respect the user.

All your comments appear dead to me, I think it's because you're a fresh account and have been shadow banned. Just guessing, I'm not sure about that but I saw similar behavior for another user on a different topic. I vouched

I'm not sure if you're shadow banned or what, but every comment of yours I have encountered has been marked dead. I vouched for this and another one I saw elsewhere in the thread.

Any time DDG fails me, I just append "!s" to proxy the search through StartPage instead. I've found it scratches the itch pretty well for 99% of my use cases.

Thanks for the coordinates tip, I'll likely end up using that as a stopgap.

OsmAnd has been real hit or miss for me. It definitely has a lot more friction than Google Maps, and sometimes I'm not able to find a destination even with the full address. I want to use it, and I want to support the ecosystem, but da

If a VPN isn't sufficient for your threat model, then you need to be using something like Tor, I2P, or Nym.

Ad Fontes puts NPR above both of those in terms of factual reporting. Then again, maybe Ad Fontes has their own biases. I don't know. I'm not an expert in this stuff, so I typically try to rely on those who appear to be. Maybe I&#

The most constructive answer is to stop using/supporting/supplying demand for software that doesn't respect the user. Rather than people trying to remove the same warts over and over, progress could be made on a more permanen
