Hello Privacy Subscribers of Lemmy, I’m Webhost0101. With the help of ChatGPT, I’ve been exploring the challenges we face with digital identity, particularly regarding the use of email addresses. I’ve developed a concept aimed at enhancing privacy and security in our digital interactions....
It seems doable, but it also seems like a solution to a set of already solved problems, with a chain of new dependencies that require global acceptance of new infrastructure.
The reason email works is because it pre-dates ubiquitous Internet and is something everyone has.
That said, the public PGP key I generated in 1994 is already in published keystores, can verify my email address, and be shared as a QR code. It even has a recognizable visual thumbprint that works similar to your generated art.
The downside to it is that despite being around since 1993, PGP and OpenGPG never became ubiquitous for this purpose, so even though it solved these issues, it became a curiosity for identity management instead of the de-facto method.
It works though, as long as everyone involved has the tools needed.
I’ve been reading Mastering Regular Expressions by Jeffrey E.F. Friedl, and since nobody in my life (aside from my wife) cares, I thought I’d share something I’m pretty proud of. My first set of regular expressions, that I wrote myself to manipulate the text I’m working with....
The mail service has to be affordable (around 10 euros per year). Tuta was an option but their plans are somewhat overpriced for me. Anyone using their (Tuta) free plan? How is it?
It’s sad to me that the answer can’t be “the one you run yourself.”
There’s theoretically no reason why everyone couldn’t run their own mail service who had a domain name. But with spam practices being what they are, self-hosted mail will get binned in most places.
“\ “ and [tab] and * are your friends. I’ve been using spaces in Unix filesystems since the early 90s with no issues. Also, using terminal fonts that•put•a•faint•dot•in•each•space•character helps.
Not having a social life and limiting your social life aren’t the same thing.
I’ve got multiple group chats going on Signal with people I spend time with in real life. I exchange emails and texts with people all day long, and spend time with my friends locally, as well as check in regularly with friends and family that aren’t local.
My social life is rather full, in fact.
And I’ve never had an account with a Meta property.
So don’t worry about limiting your social life, when there’s more opportunities to be actually social with people than there are hours in the day.
In a way, Instagram is a great filter for me. I tend to socialize with a lot of people from kids to the elderly. The type of Instagram-first people are exactly the ones I don’t want to spend much of my time on. People with common interests and the ability to relate to others of various generations are the type of people I want to spend time with, and they tend to show up in the same circles I hang out in.
When you’re dealing with a full set of more than 7.6 billion people, those sidelining people who don’t follow them on Instagram is a vanishingly small portion, and worth the privacy.
Artists have to submit the recording, artwork and metadata to create Art Tracks,” a YouTube spokesperson wrote in an email statement to Bellingcat.
So they say “auto generated” because the submitter submits an audio track, an image and metadata, and YouTube sticks them together for the user.
There’s no CC track included, no parsing of the Hindi lyrics, no generation or parsing of the images. So at that point, YouTube is really assembling the video track, not generating it.
And Bellingcat is attempting to capitalize on the phrasing to concern troll.
What an empty offer. You have no value compared to the hostages. Hamas hates the hostages. They might hate this man too, but not in their blood the way they hate the people who have been killing them and their families. There’s no shot at this being accepted....
If he’s really ready to go through with it, it’s not an empty offer?
And he’s willing to exchange places with the knowledge that it may result in his death. That’s more than the majority of people in this community would likely do.
I’m drawing a blank on it… makes me think of MK Linux, AKA MicroKernel Linux from the 90s, but I’m pretty sure they’re not related if this is Debian-based.
How can someone not know how to use Debian though? It was a pain when 1.0 was released, but these days installs just as easily as Mint….
Now, apparently, a massive raid of Geraniums has begun. The strike is expected both in Dnepropetrovsk, Zaporizhzhya and Kharkiv oblasts and, for example, in Kiev and Kiev oblast...
Passphrases only work in locales with 5a or similar protection, and either have to be managed by a single person or have the potential to be leaked.
Great for small businesses, but unworkable at the enterprise level.
But having a canary mechanism for smaller businesses is crucial, because they can’t afford to put a wall of lawyers between them and potential government overreach.
Step 1: don’t use iCloud services; use WiFi Sync with a computer for syncing and backups. Step 2: turn on Lockdown Mode if this works for you. Step 3: limit the number of apps you install. Step 4: set up VPN to your own network and run a PiHole or similar to filter access.
For most people, this is more than enough guidance.
