I mean, they just have to appeal until they get to the Supreme Court, then give the judges an RV and they’ll rule that all service providers must police their customers or some other far-reaching shit like that.

Again, like OP said, those are typically distinct functionality: issue tracking, source control, deployment etc. GitHub bringing everything into one platform is atypical and obviously done for the goal of centralization. The more stuff you add to a platform the harder it makes it to leave or replicate.

But no, technically speaking you don’t need to have all of it in one place. There’s no reason for which you must manage everything together.

I don’t even understand why people like GitHub so much, its source management sucks. The fact it still doesn’t have a decent history visualization to this day is mind-boggling.

Look for ways to do things separately and you will find much better tools. GitHub’s “one size fits all” approach is terrible and only holds because people are too lazy to look for any alternative.

All the apps on your phone have access to the phone identifier. As well as other information, like your Google account. It’s pretty trivial to tie a phone to you.

They have your identity the moment you put the sim in the phone. The phone have unique identifiers that are recorded when sold.

If someone gets access they can delete your keys, or set up something that can intercept your keys in other ways.

The security of data at rest is just one piece of the puzzle. In many systems the access to the data is considered much more important than whether the data itself is encrypted in one particular scenario.

If any part of the data gets corrupted you lose the whole thing. Recovery tools can’t work with partially corrupted encrypted data.

You. Don’t. Store. Secrets. In. Plaintext.

SSH stores the secret keys in plaintext too. In a home dir accessible only by the owning user.

I won’t speak about Windows but on Linux and other Unix systems the presumption is that if your home dir is compromised you’re fucked anyway. Effort should be spent on actually protecting access to the home personal files not on security theater.

Oh no, tell that to SSH.

The ads are added in the app. If you cast, the Chromecast can’t add apps (yet) so they’d have to make ad streams instead, and switch between the streams show-ad-show which would take several seconds of loading screen each way and so on. Which is a level of fuckery even they shied away from.

TLDR they can’t (easily) show ads during casting.

No, unfortunately. 🙂 They’re not talking about secure paths inside the office, they’re taking about having all their processes using the floppy disks. They have a common format which is proprietary and can only be made with a proprietary PC program and can only be submitted on floppy disks.

Sure, but forcing an entire country to go through physical handling of each and every request is crazy. I really don’t understand how they managed for so long.

Spending 20k to unchain yourself from a clearly ill-meaning vendor can be seen as a good investment in itself. 5k saved in (recurring) fees is a bonus.

What would they use Word for? This is about submitting data in their own standard formats in tiny files.

The real crime is that they’re not switching to online. Using optical discs is going to be even more ridiculous for those tiny files.

Many people have a warped understanding of what “two factor” means.

They conflate it with devices and they think it means that one of the factors (why one? which one? who knows) needs to be restricted to exactly one device.

What “two factor” really means is that you should have more than one required factor of authentication so that if one is compromised the attackers still can’t get in.

Ideally the factors should be spread across the “something you know” / “something you own” / “something you are” categories to complicate the manner in which they can be compromised.

We can only reliably rememeber a limited amount of passwords, so like it or not we have to use some devices at least some of the time.

The trouble with “something you own” is that it can be lost or damaged or stolen, and if you only have one of it then you’re fucked. So adding some redundancy is not a bad idea.

The larger issue is that everybody is stuck into extremely rigid and outdated mindsets that date back decades. “Two factors” don’t have to be exactly two, and they don’t have to include exactly one password, and so on. It should be fine if you wanted to secure your account with 3 passwords, and should be up to you if one of those password is a barcode tattooed on your taint so you need a mirror and to bend upside down to scan it.

Bottom line, use whatever you want and use your best judgment as to how secure is each factor. If you want to use something that syncs to multiple devices, go ahead. What you should consider is who has access to those devices and how it would affect you if they’re lost or stolen.

Trump’s appointments tipped the balance. They didn’t “decide” as much as been taken over. It’s a part of the judicial system gone rogue and Congress is supposed to reign it back in.

optical media doesn’t last that long (5-10 years) and is easily damaged

I beg to differ. I’ve been backing things up to optical for 25 years now with minimal issues. CDs could be easily scratched but it hasn’t been the case for DVD and BR.

M-DISK uses in-organic substances that make the discs mostly immune to exposure but it’s a more recent invention. Proper storage and handling still goes a long way towards protecting discs even if they’re not in-organic.

They’re a very common form of personal backup. A few discs and an USB writer and you get a very long lasting medium for passwords, personal files, family photos etc.

Can also archive multimedia of course, the smallest discs are 25 GB and can pack a few films, a season of a series, or a lot of music.

Hence the controversy! 🙂

Also, Graphene tend to act superior about it and it pisses people off.

They claim their security measures are better then other custom ROMs.

You got it backwards. According to OpenAI and Microsoft you have to respect their copyright but they can ignore yours.

Also no you can’t pirate but they can.

Any questions?
