Where I’m from, “dragged” means to be removed against your will.

You know, like “the pitcher got dragged after the first inning”.

Setting up fail2ban to block people trying to brute force the admin panel is a good start.

I’ve set mine up so that entering my PIN backwards will nuke it. At which point I can ask for my phone back.

Law enforcement have tools to bypass lockscreens and access the data on the device. They use backdoors and exploits, so older phones are more vulnerable. Most exploits only work if the phone has been unlocked at some point since it was booted.

This is why law enforcement keep them powered-on, and in a faraday cage. They are in a state with a better chance of unlock, but have no signal so nobody can remotely find/lock/wipe it.

18 hours by default.

You mean “Microsoft Terminal Services Client”?

I’m waiting for the part that it gets used for things that are not lazy, manipulative and dishonest. Until then, I’m sitting it out like Linus.

Even if they do get the VBR encoding perfect, you’ll still get people on bad connections that will only have a buffer underrun when a dude shows up in a sparkly suit.

That’s like, a million people’s wages. Absurd.

I did have LUKS and a USB flash drive with a key to be inserted on boot. It was definitely difficult and caused performance issues. It was particularly difficult to add/remove drives from the array. These days I only encrypt my off-site backups that sit at the office where my coworkers potentially have physical access.

There have been recent advancements in TPM so disk encryption is easier to maintain and doesn’t affect performance. I’ll need to investigate this one day. My server/NAS is a 4th-gen i5, so it may not support the functions I would need. Full disk encryption will land in Ubuntu soon. I’m hanging out for that.

It’s maddening that my telco will negotiate a roaming rate on my behalf, and it’s 100x worse than what a random dude in a supermarket can sell me.

I self-host everything and subscribe to nothing.

If my router/server/Nas is powered on anyway, it might as well do the lot.

I personally would flick through the OpenWRT supported devices and pick the best supported device with 802.11ax.

That graph is trash. The baseline needs to be at zero.

My 6a on GrapheneOS stopped working months ago and I’ve spent hours trying to figure out what I had changed in an attempt to fix it.

Google broke it at their end? For no reason but spite? What cunts.

noisy environments like plains, trains and rideshares.

I dunno. Plains are usually pretty isolated and quiet.

The Australian government would have you believe that we’re in the middle of some kind of CP endemic and everyone needs to suffer for it.

This will catch precisely nobody, as the criminals will immediately move to a different platform, of which there are many.

I host my own mail. If the AFP want to inspect it, they’ll need a warrant.

At this point, they’ve invested more in not supporting Linux. This is after Linux decided to support Fortnite instead.

create energy

Ummm… that’s not how it works.
