These news are obviously false. Google is not doing this.

1.3K forks already lol

Please remember to fork it outside github. They will probably delete all forks based on intellectual property bs written in their TOS.

If it’s paywalled, yes. I’m just reading the title.

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

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.

wrong: you press esc multiple times to make sure you are in normal mode.

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.

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.

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 Maybe he don’t care about Mint looking outdated.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.

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.

vsis,
@vsis@feddit.cl avatar

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.

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.
