   Certainly. I supposed the point I am trying to make is that a lot of old windows behaviors that lead to security incidents are finding their way into non-desktop linux machines. My servers have binfmt mounted, for example. SystemD appear

   Perhaps consider making multiple copies to optical media using parity data on each volume. Writing rar and par files to multiple DVD's should suffice. There is of course the risk that not many people will know what a DVD or rar/

   That isn't how a trust / will works. Your friend won't know about the account information until you have passed on and your lawyer contacts them. You could certainly make them aware of the fact this will occur ahead of time

   This would be a good use case of having a trust and a last will and testament, that provides instructions to your friends how to decrypt a password container, keypass, etc... that takes FB out of the loop. The executor or beneficiary can

   You might also consider creating a video of yourself explaining what these things are, why they are important and how to access and use the data. That would also be a good opportunity to share thoughts with her that she may appreciate more

   Exactly. Or to partially quote the 11th Doctor from Doctor Who: "...we're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

   For my own things, my accounts will just linger until the provider either goes out of business, or until account inactivity leads to deletion. Hopefully I wrote something witty or clever prior to going on permanent vacation. If I had my ow

    Article is paywalled for me. I would only add that I would be interested if they offer virtual account numbers like CitiBank does, so that online retailers get a CC specific to them and a spending cap.

    I've seen higher uptime my VM's at DigitalOcean, Linode and Vultr than AWS. Their network speeds are all faster than AWS as well. People go to AWS because of their vast API's and services that help make automation at scale e

    I believe you need to be a on an admin account in Windows to change global file associations. In fairness though, most people are logged in as an Administrator.

    The equiv command in Microsoft Windows is "assoc". You can run it with no args to see what programs are associated with what extensions in Windows. I mention this because of a security concern. i.e. assoc assoc .vbs=t

    I would like to add, if the vehicles entirely depend on their AI, then there should be at least 3 or 4 compute nodes and a voting system. Should a node fail or have false information, the other nodes should override.

    I expect a lot more from AI. Years ago I could play Quake III Arena and get pwned by bots. I expect modern AI to recognize every car, pedestrian and physical object. I expect it to recognize all hostile targets and avoid them when feasibl

    What is the deepest most complete diagnostics we can run on humans without them having to be dead? I would be interested in such a lab exercise even if it cost a lot.

    This was answered in the movie iRobot, based on Asimov's books. Dr. Calvin: [shocked] No, it's impossible... I've seen your programming. You're in violation of the Three Laws! V.I.K.I.: No, Doctor. As I have evolved,

    I consider it worse than malicious. It's a spy device, but you pay for it and provide it paid bandwidth. I would never use one. My coworkers roommate is however and the pranks are endless.

    It certainly can. A few times my gums became inflamed in the last couple decades. That is when I knew to reduce the method slightly. There is a balance and it is probably a little different for each person.

    I do something similar. I wash my mouth twice a day with listerine ultra-clean, which contains 20% alcohol. I leave it in my mouth for about 2 minutes and push my teeth together to get the mouthwash into the gums. This has a funny side e

    Consider using big data to figure out who is going to go off the rails next. Is this a taboo use of big data? Guns are just tools and can be replaced with equally dangerous tools. It's the mentally unstable that must be detected befo

    Oh I see, if you are on a shared computer, you would have to use a pw vs. an ssh key. I was not connecting the dots. Thankyou for the clarification.

    Certainly, bypassing their security controls, or the intent of the controls could cause you grief. Out of curiosity, how does using https affect 2FA?
