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

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?

On Android its NewPipe. No ads, free, I can create playlists, and I dont have to store anything local.

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

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.

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)

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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