Have you taken a look at DailyTxT?

It’s not. There is almost zero security improvement between a passkey vs a randomly generated password + 2FA.

The only concern is if you’re dumb enough to give away your password, or not activate 2FA on critical accounts.

You’ll find that nobody has a problem with passkeys specifically. They have a problem with the implementation, and companies forcing passkeys onto users who don’t want or need them.

I don’t need passkeys because I use a password manager. My threat model requires that I can restore my password manager, all 2FA, and regain full access to all my accounts from anywhere in the world, even if a natural disaster occurs and all my devices are destroyed.

Passkeys and SMS 2FA are a direct threat to my threat model, and I can’t help but feel they’re designed to further entrench surveillance capitalism, and the invasion of privacy as a prerequisite for security.

2FA is not SMS. SMS is the least secure, shittiest, and simplest form of 2FA, designed as the bare minimum for the average chucklefuck. Everywhere implemented it hastily because the average idiot still uses the same password for everything. It should be illegal as the only form of 2FA, but our governments are run by criminally corrupt dinosaurs.

Fun story! Back in 2017 I tried to remove SMS 2FA entirely, and switch to a data only mobile service. I use 2FA everywhere it’s available, but was able replace SMS with TOTP everywhere except banks, even on big tech platforms where you could only activate TOTP after adding a mobile number and enabling SMS 2FA (you could then remove the mobile number). I ultimately had to keep the voice service because banks required SMS 2FA, with no alternatives beyond their own custom 2FA apps, that can only be registered by SMS. Almost a decade later I have more SMS 2FA than ever before.

The moral of the story is we live in a clown world capitalist dictatorship.

Member when a single lightbulb was fucking 70-100W? What a shit hole civilization.

ZFS is an enterprise software RAID, and 1:1 RAM to TB is the minimum recommended requirement for a production server (e.g. enterprise implementations).

I’ve seen many users stating they have far far less than 1:1 without issues. I recall a r/DataHoarder user saying they have 100+ TB’s and only 16 or 32GB RAM, which is not fully utilized, so it all depends on your usage profile and the size/scale of r/w ops occurring during peak periods.

That wasn’t what was reported, and is largely false. What was reported is that people are buying NEW drives which have FARM values indicating years of use. Also the most likely cause being a crypto project going under, and dropping petabytes in capacity over the last 12 months.

This type of fraud hasn’t been proven in the used HDD space. There are many reasons used drives are sold other than exceeding usable life or warranty. Companies over forecast capacity or simply go bankrupt all the time (see crypto / ai), and those drives are sold. Considering drives are 30-50% more expensive now than they were 6-12 months ago the incentive and profitability of resale has increased.

I would suggest investigating how much effort it would take to alter your voice. Is it possible to do it live, or does it take post processing? There’s no harm in doing it unless you meet up with internet people in the real world. Even then it may not really be an issue.

I’ve felt the same about parsing my comments via an AI because, using stylometry, a small sample of your comments are enough to de-anonymize all of your online accounts. It ultimately required too much effort and friction, plus I have decades of comments already out there so whatevs. I’m not here to fuck spiders.

Fair enough. I’m not scraping by either. I just choose to vote with my wallet because that’s capitalism.

Most times I buy fast food these days (few times a year) I just feel ripped off, because I know I’m paying extra just for shareholders; not for actual value.

+ it doesn’t need to be complicated. You only need a few ingredients and can buy certain pre-made things like crumbed fish or chicken. If you do it right the first meal takes 30 mins, then eating the same thing again in the next few days should only take 5-10 mins.

None of these problems mean you have to resort to buying fast food though.

You can buy things like crumbed chicken tenders that last over a week in the packaging and take 15 mins to cook in an air fryer. Mix some mayo and hot sauce, steam some veg and you’ve got a cheaper, healthier meal than most fast food, in about the same time it takes to drive through and order.

Where’s Luigi at?

Completely unfounded dogshit last I checked. I remember something about Nord or PIA leadership paying to promote propaganda against Proton too.

A dozen leakers from a secret police that has employed hundreds of thousands, across decades, is not the example you think it is.

You ever heard of a little trillion dollar operation known as the NSA?

Oh fuck

I’d argue the US for-profit health insurance system is state sanctioned terrorism of the civilian population, for profit.

What greater way to terrorize a population than to deny them and their families healthcare, under the threat of bankruptcy? How about the threat of bankruptcy either way, whether they’re insured or not?

The industry kills 30x 9/11 every year, bankrupts 500k, while stealing 500-700 billion from the population (compared to the public systems of the developed world). At the very least, it’s financial terrorism and extortion.

Hate to tell ya but the political class is curated and manufactured by the corporate plutocracy. Most of them are scabs paid to talk the talk publicly, while offering subservience behind closed doors. Anyone actually walking the walk is an anomaly; if they ever have a reasonable chance of success, they are pre-emptively neutralized by the states monopoly on violence.

They will also crush all organized movements with mass surveillance, and it’s only going to get worse. It seems like the masses only recourse is self-sacrifice through vigilante terrorism. It’s much harder to stop a motivated and autonomous, self-organizing, lone-wolf / individual (see mass shooters).

That’s the best part! You can’t!

Thanks to the consolidation and vertical integration of the largest multinationals, as long as you choose to live — no matter how careful and conscious your purchases — a significant proportion of it will still funnel to most of these corporations.
