Of course it matters.We dont want to support or contribute content to a service that could go down one day and all the data is lost because we can’t fork it.

Firefox (invidious). Its free, no ads, and I dont have to store files locally.

Thanks. Just tried it but every time I add one song to the queue, it adds a ton of others to my queue that I did not add. How do I make it stop doing that?

WOAH NOW, that yellow trailer is definitely going to get swiped by a car tho

No way been biking to get groceries for decades. You just need the right luggage. Personally I have a folder with a low rack so a 70L trekking pack with an aluminum frame works great. Before that I used the 4 kitty litter panniers. But easiest is probably just a cargo bike

Pretty gross rack design tho. Should just be a bunch of pipes bent into a large U-shape cemented into the ground on both ends.

You’re supposed to lock the rear wheel with a u-bolt, not the front wheel.

Also not all bikes are shaped the same, and once you put a weeks worth of groceries on them that front wheel is popping out of that shitty slot and you’re crushing the guy next to you

Doesn’t look like that rack is bolted into the ground. I usually flip it upside down and drag it some place inconvenient to let the store owners know that their bike rack provides no security if it can just be picked-up by a theif with the bike.

It depends on velocity

library_napper,
@library_napper@monyet.cc avatar

I’m not sure if you’re agreeing with me, but the whole reason to lock the rear wheel (as opposed to the front wheel) is specifically to avoid this problem. By locking through the rear wheel inside the rear triangle of the frame, you lock up both the wheel and the frame at once.

This is why bike racks designed to lock the front wheel are stupid.

library_napper,
@library_napper@monyet.cc avatar

It would work great. You’d lock the rear wheel to the bike rack with a ubolt, and that would lock both the frame of the bike and the rear wheel in one go. To lock the front wheel and the trailer, use a cable and loop it around and pass it through the same ubolt.

My point is that the bike racks that are just one large U shape are far more versatile. They work for road bikes. They work for short folder bikes. They work for huge cargo bikes. They work for the bike with they yellow trailer.

Use a chain? Thats either less secure or bigger & heavier than a u-bolt. Just look at the bar, its not going to work for the rear wheel.

The rack I describe is cheaper (less metal), more secure, and accommodates 100% of bikes. I know many Dutch-made cargo bikes won’t even work with the design shown.

Well, I do know how to make bike racks

Yes, there is. You’re risking downloading malicious software.

They probably lowered it became mullvad is a security company and downlaoing .deb files from the Internet ia a vector for attack

More Performant, yes. More Secure? Not sure about that

ChatGPT is garbage in garbage out. It’ll probably tell you to curl a file off the internet and pipe it to bash as root.

You might want to say why or you’ll get downvoted. Spoiler: its not safe and this is how you get malicious software on your computer

Homebrew is extremely insecure. It doesn’t verify package signatures, so its just as bad as the “just donloaf some sketchy untrusted binary off a website” approach

library_napper,
@library_napper@monyet.cc avatar

Https is vulnerable to loads of attack. That’s why we sign packages.

library_napper,
@library_napper@monyet.cc avatar

No, you’re confusing two vectors of attack. I’m saying that if you fan trust the vendor, then you’re still at risk from downloading malicious software that was manipulated between the vendor and you (man in the middle attack), unless you verified a signature using a key stores offline (note https is still vulnerable because the keys are stored online)

@library_napper@monyet.cc avatar

That’s why you download the key from multiple distinct domains from multiple distinct locations using multiple distinct devices and veryify their fingerprints match. If the key/fingerprint is only available on one domain, open a bug report with the maintainer.

This sort of thing happens dragnet. And mullvad users are definitely a group to be targeted. Dont assume OP isnt a refugee or journalist and give them bad advice that could get them killed

Hardware security key options?

I've been thinking about getting a hardware security key and have heard of yubikey before; but I want to see what my options are and if they are worth it in your opinion.
My current setup is a local KeePassXC database (that I sync between my PC and phone and also acts as TOTP authenticator app), I know that KeePass supports hardware keys for unlocking the database.

I am personally still of the belief that passwords are the safest when done right; but 2FA/MFA can greatly increase security on top of that (again, if done right).
The key work work together with already existing passwords, not replace them.

As I use linux as my primary OS I do expect it to support it and anything that doesn't I will have to pass on.

PS: what are the things I need to know about these hardware keys that's not being talked about too much, I am very much delving into new territory and want to make sure I'm properly educated before I delve in.

This. Yubikey is not libre hardware, not sure why they’re so popular. I’d avoid any closed-source hardware for security devices. Its a bad idea.

Using Disinformation Like A Pro (yewtu.be)

Disinformation is a criminally underrated technique for protecting yourself against doxing, data breaches, and tracking. But it’s important to use it right to be both effective and a law-abiding citizen. In this video, I share my tips and techniques gathered over the year to protect your privacy where tools fall just a little...

In the industry we’d call it “tokenization” for the same end if the identifiers were unique
