I also assume it’s an expired certificate.

See, this is what happens when certificates are not renewed automatically.

The article says the projectos are discontinued. That’s probably the reason no one is monitoring these certs.

Another glorious benefit of DRM.

This is just someone hating golf lol

At least in my country every city, no matter how small, have some public football pitch. And almost every neighborhood have some mini pitch. I have no data, but I’m pretty sure that football sums way more area around the globe than golf.

Which makes sense since football is fun af

KeepassXC + Syncthing is my personal solution to keep my credentials and sensitive data across my devices.

We in Chile we kiss only once. Right side of the face. The fist time I greeted a spanish woman I was confused as hell.

If the device get stolen, your drive and its files can be easily read.

Other attacks like malware or ransomware are almost the same if the drive is encrypted or not.

Disk encryption is important for laptops and phones because these devices are frequently stolen. For desktop or servers is still good idea, though.

That’s why it’s not always an option.

Some servers have some kind remote console hardware, with their own security issues.

Your “threat model” is important too. Do you expect that server to get stolen? If it happens, is there critical data that should not leak?

Maybe you need to encrypt a directory, and not the whole drive.

We will switch to GNU/Hurd.

Then we will plug a USB device and remember that Hurd doesn’t support that yet.

I recommend Mint.

Chances are your friend’s secondary laptop doesn’t have extra resources for Gnome to run smoothly. Sad thing is nowadays Gnome is very heavy and bloated.

Also, he may try both distros live-usb. Maybe he don’t care about Mint looking outdated. But if he does, you may try Fedora live-usb and check if university wifi works properly.

It’s his laptop after all, so I believe your appreciations on the beauty of desktop environments are secondary.

But I can’t imagine eating like 15 tomatoes per year lol

I use an off-line libre password manager for several bad designed goverment stuff that only accept numbers as passwords or don’t allow to paste it.

It’s not that hard and I easily get used to it. I read it, type it and forget it again.

There are libre off-line password managers. Variants of Keepass for example.

Indeed it’s a bad idea to store passwords in a propietary system. Specially a cloud based one being hacked time to time, like 1password.

@vsis@feddit.cl avatar

I’m unaware of 1password ever getting hacked.

I think your paranoia here is unjustified

You are right in a way. I always assume company sysadmins have access to company data, even if they say the opposite, and I always assume there are undisclosed data leaks. Which may seem a little paranoid.

It’s like closing your car’s door when leaving it alone: Is it paranoid to assume that always there are someone willing to steal stuff?

vsis,
@vsis@feddit.cl avatar

1password employees don’t have access to the data let alone anyone else.

That’s a common good practice.

It’s still good idea to assume the opposite.

If you can see plain text passwords, some malicious actor at their side can too. No matter if it’s encrypted at rest.

In Chile I recall Microsoft sending a notification to my former worplace because someone used torrent to download a game from inside the company network. That person didn’t notice that all traffic was being routed to company’s VPN hosted in MS Azure.

ISPs don’t give a shit. The goverment has laws against piracy that are never applied (you know: Southamerica, the lawlessness). But gringo companies do care.

My advice is to avoid Google, MS and the big tech to follow your pirates activities. They may suspend services to you, or notifiy some local authority.

Use a different browser or machine for your big tech interactions, and you’ll be fine.

Edit: typos.
