   RAID is cool but It's not much of a backup then if it's always plugged into a running computer. Half of risk comes from some process "intentionally" the erasing the data. I use the super-sophisticated method of manually

   There is no such thing as identity theft. That is a term made up by banks to pass the blame for their insecure means of authentication.

   I imagine it will be like SIM swapping attacks where attackers will pool all their money together, gain temporary SS7 access and conduct a ton of attacks in a short window of time. Reducing the per-attack cost. The phone network is just not

   Strong 2FA is holding your cryptocurrency in a multisignature setup instead of an exchange that holds your keys for you and can disregard the 2FA whenever it wants. The security bottleneck is the one institution that holds all of the respon

   The odds of the bank making an error related to your account and crediting you money is far greater than the odds of generating the same keypair as someone else.

   In cryptocurrency, you can use a multi-signature account to define your own security setup. For example, even a 2-of-2 setup with a trusted authority like a bank is straight-forward improvement in security over the conventional bank system.

   So what is stopping someone from holding a gun to your head and forcing you to conduct a wire transfer over the phone or internet?

    You can run normal linux desktop and server programs with no limitations. The development and driver support is not guided by google.

    You can install debian on a pinephone https://wiki.debian.org/InstallingDebianOn/PINE64/PinePhone But for a "normal" linux environment on a phone I recommend postmarketOS. They make an effort to support

    prions are transmitted from animal to animal in the wild, for example chronic wasting disease or kuru. Isn't it possible for them to spread via an STD or something? Or can they only be grown in the brain?

    I take the opposite perspective on everything you've said. Is it really that sad of a death? Many people die every day, and a few of them happen to have a ton of cameras shoved in their face. Why should anyone care about some minor cel

    I think you're right actually. Now that I reflect on it, there are many times where the roles are reversed. For example, with this recent assassination of charlie kirk, the right wingers are role playing as the oppressed and are practi

    I agree. It's all about the memes. I think this is a great teardown of the 2016 election: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r8Y-P0v2Hh0&t=1567s

    Firstly, there is still pretty centralized moderation done through the bureaucracy of mastodon operators and federation. Similar situation in bluesky. The whole advantage of these "networks" is that they allow you to opt-in to blo

    The intention is to express political dominance. By panicking and responding emotionally, you are feeding the trolls. It is as much an ego trip for the right to act oppressive (within the bounds of "the rules") as it is for the le

    I think the kiwifarms could be a net positive if they incentivize anonymity on the internet through harassment.

    It's not decentralized at all. It represents a total commercialization of the town square. The situation you reference with regard to Israel/Gaza is only possible because TikTok is partially controlled by Chinese interests. But it

    I think the problem is that despite the effort, you will still end up in the dataset. So it's futile
