maaan, these AI slop need its own forum.

I hope the victim, including the family, is okay. We also need to consider that the first one to break an encryption is not the math, but the people that own the private key.

Your security is as strong as the person involved.

This is a rather erroneous notion to think that surveillance will improve behavior. During the covid lockdowns in 2020, New York required citizens to send them pictures of people who were violating quarantine. Needless to say, it wasn't very effective.

That's quite a story! It sounded like the thug had poor opsec in transferring the crypto into his coinbase account. Transferring thousands of dollars into an account attached to one's identity was quite a stupid move...but nobody said that thugs are smart. Even Monero can be cracked, from what I've heard. On the other hand, Bitcoin isn't really anonymous. The transactions are visible on the blockchain and easy enough to trace.

Also, the pink revolver was really tough and manly.

I highly doubt it, the ending as bitter as it felt, was conclusive.

Password?

This is why we endorse, support & use open source software. Anything else associated with a company is a liability. They can't "force" shit on open source encryption and implementation.

ah even death isn't an escape from the irs CaCawwww

meow meow *yigga

The more I learn about mushrooms, the more I wonder whether or not they're even from this planet...

Google isn't evil at all, except for the fact that they target you with advertisements, collect data in shady ways, and violate privacy by every means conceivable, lol. And I'm sure that there isn't anything worse than that that they do without burying it under the legalese in their terms or service and privacy policy.

The worst situation I've heard of was people converting Google equipment from paying customers at location. All the cell phones were hacked, mic and camera turned on. There were calls with various ring tones to calibrate the mics.

This was not the first Dog and Pony show for these people and they competed with Google insults read by Orca for a few hours until Google caught on.

I only clash with Google rarely due to misunderstandings and I do not considered them evil, Just Slight Negative.

that's kinda hot (bigg feets).

I have a project (that's tied into this) that I'm prioritizing for the moment, and will be making a more fleshed out version of this available soon after.

I want some more granular tools with individual torrents too, and some stats, so I'll see what i can do.

The transmission-rpc plugin works great for managing one snark at a time though.

I've heard from some people that folks can be targeted by their device remotely...I'll try to remember where I heard that. Devices can listen in on people, unless the microphone is off and the camera is covered with tape. Librum computers have those features. I think that they have anti-evil maid features as well.

Farting with crap from my mouth... because I will not bother to find out more. Most likely this case has nothing to do with Telegram. I tried the i2p Telegram for a few hours and did not fit my needs. I do agree 100% with the Jap blog about the Telegram i2p site. If you have certain adjustments that work for you, congrats.

What I really think is going on has to do with extortion. Some disgruntle US investor that did not do his due diligence tried to enslave Rusky with a copycat Facebook. That did not work and the a-hole wants the money back (recovery).

Personally, I believe this fish is to big for some Froggie Enqule. France does not extradite French citizens (in the constitution???).

I did experience massive computer use in some attacks. I use very good equipment. The fans are running wild but the equipment does not overheat. No Apple incendiary devices here!

I will wait for a more mature/developed tool that has alarms and monitoring of torrents. Ideally it will monitor torrents and have some kind of configurable actions. It would be like a stock (stockmarket) chart analysis tool. Start (buy), Stop (hold), Delete the evidence (unusual patterns). I like to start simple... but it is always complicated.

Lesson learned: don't create malware and expect it go go well.

I'm curious if you've ever experienced your computer heating up or electrically shocking you when looking up politically incorrect subjects. I've asked all my tinfoil hat friends, and they're puzzled about it. It only happens when I'm on a 5-eyes/9-eyes/14-eyes network. Otherwise it's fine. And it only happens when I'm reading about those subjects for an extended period of time.

I've heard of people busting out their soldering irons to protect against backdoors. There are places I have heard of to purchase computer hardware with monero, but my better instincts tell me that it could just a honeypot to appeal to privacy-conscious individuals.

I also gave your issues with kicksecure and I2P a little more thought. I believe that kicksecure's ports are configured differently than other OSs; that might be your problem.

If you are by your computer when you are attacked by a Quantum with Supercomputer attack:

1. Your machine will go in a short Reboot but will recover where you left off.
2. Your SSD/Hard-Disk will go nuts because THEY are uploading.

What THEY are trying to do is break your encryption by looking for KNOWN files that were encrypted with that key. Take action and don't delay.

I usually wipe the disks and change all the keys. Consider encrypting a KNOWN file like an OS download with a different encryption. I usually store this type of crap on a different disk.

Hard Drive Hardware encryption along with BTRFS is the best mitigation I have against Quantum and Supercomputer attacks. I used to get them monthly but now it is a rare occurrence.

I did know a Arch person that swear by their BIOS (solders and modifies boards). I was so impressed by his demonstration at his layer (full of equipment) that I almost plunged a small fortunes into buying a laptop from him. The problem was that when his machine was tested in guerrilla environments (direct trunk connection) it did not perform much better than mine.

I don't know who sold Quantum-Tristate computers. Some crap had to do with IBM but they like to take credit for a lot of things (Oppenheimer was a manager not the developer of A-bomb kind of crap). If you search Tristate it comes out as a battery company that probably has little to do with computers. Tristate comes from 3 states as a 0-1-unknown.

Nope. It didn't just disagree with you. I can recommend Heads OS, an alternative to Tails. I haven't attempted to put I2P on it, but it's thought to be a pretty good OS otherwise.

What is your opinion on the reliability of hard drive encryption?

Are you referring to the place that sells computers (TriState)?

I've been wondering how one would fix hardware back doors, or if that's even a possibility. I'm not sure what resources our favored big brother has, but I don't have any doubts about what he would do if he could.

Does it mean for us to put aside dual-boot Windows-Linux eventually and get ourselves on the Linux-only configurations?
