I second the idea of a VPN instead of directly exposing devices or software to the internet. Requires more work and learning but it’s more secure. I would argue that well-known VPNs are more scrutinized and pentested than any camera software ever.
A hash has a fixed length, including MD5. There’s no reason to cap password (input) Iength. You can hash the whole bible and still get the same length hash. So either they don’t even hash it, they’re idiots, or they try to be unnecessarily cautious to avoid some other limit / overflow, like POST max size (which would still be counted in at least KB, not several characters). The limit on what special characters you can use is also highly suspicious - that’s not how you deal with injections / escaping your inputs.
I’m rebooting my router every week via a crontab because some dynamic dns update process fails from time to time and I find it hanging. No time to debug the actual problem.
Yes I do, and a price increase of only $10 (so $30 vs $20) can make a big difference in sound quality for a pair of headphones for work (meetings and some music off Youtube). So it’s not even about hifi (at that price range, of course not), it’s about giving a shit and do a little research / testing before settling on a slightly better low end consumer product. Or, given a certain budget, maximise the quality for it, again, by doing some research beforehand, no matter what you plan to buy. But, most people are lazy.
When it comes to music, it also depends on a person’s tastes. Ariana Grande sounds the same to me weather played on Sennheiser headphones or a microwave oven.
No, logins should be harder in order to be secure. Hence the addition of 2FA (which is also incompatible with your proposal).
As developers, we strive to make things more secure, not less, and unfortunately, good security always comes with the trade-off of less convenience for the user (larger entropy passwords, session expiration, captchas, etc).
Now, of course, it depends on how sensible the data in that account is. I wouldn’t want this for my email account, for example, or online password manager, which are the entry gates to all my other accounts. The Kagi search engine offers the possibility to login on another device via a session URL which you can copy-paste. And this is fine, if the site / app clearly states the dangers, implemented it securely, tracks and lists the sessions and allows you to invalidate a session for all devices, and you are fine with potentially disclosing the data for that account (forgetting to log out, or disclose the session URL somewhere) - which is not much, as they don’t log the searches, only the daily counts. And their use-case makes sense, people aren’t used to authenticating in order to search something on the internet.
So, this should be an optional feature offering from the website / app, not built-in in the browser which would make it trivial to be abused by anyone.
UntrackMe, doesn’t open an app, but redirects to a chosen Invidious instance. I use farside.link/invidious which chooses a random instance closer to you.
Instead of my ID, I submitted a picture of dolphins and the text “So long and thanks for all the fish!”. And never came back.
Jesus, what a bunch of needless “security”. They’re tickets to a concert, ffs. This is all for personal data mining.
There are websites detecting adblockers that instruct you to disable them in order to view the website. It’s a constant game of cat and mouse between ad companies and adblockers.
And I would like to not watch and hear 3 x 10 seconds unskippable ads when one of my parents wants to show me some 30 seconds funny cat fails clip on their phone.
Read “Terraria”, my heart skipped a beat
It was a default for so long that people just got used to the feel of it and its “ecosystem” if you can call it that.
I use Win at home and at work as my main desktop, because of familiarity, the apps I got used to and because I just don’t feel comfortable with any Linux UI. I get annoyed when the Win UI gets even slightly changed between OS versions, so imagine how it would be for me just switching to Linux. I have a dual boot, but the Linux partitions always gather dust no matter the distro.
But I wouldn’t touch a Windows server. I’m apt with the Linux on work servers, my home server, RaspberryPi and routers. It feeels like having swiss army knives and I feel at home in a command line.
This doesn’t make me a fanboy, but I do get raised eyebrows from co-workers.
Is Keepass there? Good. Upvote.
Turris Omnia. Powerful hardware, auto updates, config backup / restore (with anti-bricking feature), SIM slot, etc
Hmm. I unmount mine to reduce noise. Didn’t think about endurance though, curious to see opinions too.
As someone reading this thread, I’m stuck in an endless loop.
Where do you keep your KeepAss master password?
In my head. If you use a long passphrase, it’s easy to remember, easy to type, and secure.
The pregenerated book of codes is used since ancient times and it is interesting, but I would much prefer to educate people to use passphases instead.
And everybody has a phone with them at all times, you can have Keepass on it. It doesn’t use the cloud, it’s local, and if you need to sync the password database file automatically with your PC it’s safe to keep it in the cloud, it’s encrypted and only decrypted locally. But I myself use a self-hosted instance of Nextcloud.
Holy shit, I stand corrected, those graphs speak for themselves. Bookmarked for future stats.
LE: Well, there’s also the section about average age of failure in their newest report: 2 years and 7 months for HDDs, 14 months for SSDs.
Those share buttons are trackers themselves. So it’s not about “supporting” those websites by publishing content to them, it’s about undermining the privacy of your readers and doing the opposite of what you preach, and “supporting” those websites by feeding them much more valuable user data. As another comment said, just put a button to copy the permalink and let them paste themselves if they want to share.
As for you sharing a link on the mainstream social media platforms yourself, I’d actually encourage that. Cory Doctorow auto-publishes links (not content) to his articles on as many social media platforms as he can (sorry, can’t find the article in which he describes it). The point is that he still retains control over his content by hosting it himself, he controls the (lack of) trackers and ads, and gaining traffic from these platforms is still to his and his potential readers benefit. Bending your rules a little to reach more people and maybe even convert them to be more privacy-aware is fine.
