In Germany, after §163 StPO and related the police may interview you as part of an investigation but if you are a suspect you must be told so prior to any interview. You are allowed not to make any statements, which is not considered any cr

I think it's a sad statement for the american justice system that this is advice people want to follow. I feel lucky I don't have to live in the USA.

Because that is what some people want from a chat service. They want to be able to scrollback and see what happened overnight without operating some kind of server for that. They also don't want to necessarily have to login or have to

Keep a log of deleted users and re-delete upon restore. The GDPR contains exceptions for data storage for which it is infeasible or outside reasonable effort to delete individual records or you have legal compliances to uphold.

The GDPR contains exceptions when deleting individual user data is infeasible or if the data in question is a backup, in which case you must only keep a log somewhere so you don't forget to delete again.

The GDPR offers exceptions to the right to erasure, this mostly includes legal compliance (banks) or in the interest of legal claims or when data cannot be easily deleted as individual record. It also does not affect any non-digital documen

If you check research related to this and the DEFCON talk where somebody actually put thermite into the drive, there won't be a puddle of molten metal. You can put thermite on it once you burned the parts if you want.

I wouldn't bet on that being a 100% deletion. It'll probably trash most of the data but not all. Thermite grenades aren't very good at melting a huge chunk of metal either, sure it'll go straight through a machine block

If you want to get rid of a harddrive with sensitive data I would first suggest that one gets familiar with the thought of not being able to sell it as used. Personally for my drives, I use Boot and Nuke to erase the drive three times, firs

Not necessarily. However, if you're the only random MAC user on a network, it can be trackable. Depending on implementation the MAC will have a specific bit set to indicate it is user supplied and not necessarily universally unique but

It depends on whether or not you are operating under their jurisdiction or not. If you are, they can drag you to court. End of story. If you aren't then they will first rely on your cooperation and if that doesn't work, probably i

The GDPR does force anyone who stores user data to delete it upon request. However, IIRC, there is not much of a requirement of having a dedicated form of it. An email is sufficient notification you want this to happen (and you're of c

If the server isn't started yet, the easiest way is to use the HTTP validation. Once it's started placing the file is easiest. You can use both methods.

No, the current requirements still include this. On ARM platforms it has been removed for ages now. The quote in my previous comment has been directly pulled from the UEFI requirements on the microsoft website.

Mastodon has recently enabled Activity Streams 2.0 (I'm fairly certain 2.0) which is a W3C Standard. I believe the move was founded on arguments of "OStatus is a tad unflexible for our needs" or something along those lines.

In what way does this respond to my comment? I asserted that America's amendment does not exist in other legislations and that democracy has been far older than america. None of which are relevant in your comment.
