I forgot this thread even existed. Basically, I did the research, there is no non-cloud vacuum unless you root it yourself and use Valetudo. The Dreames are the easiest to hack but be careful when purchasing models that were manufactured after 2021 because the publically available method doesn’t work on them. There is still a private method being shared around some Telegrams and what not but I didn’t have the time to look into it.
Unless you’re a big company, they won’t give two craps about you. If you’re a large company you can ask to audit them and reveal some of their security practices. Chances are if they don’t just talk the talk but also walk the walk they’ve been already audited by a third party, which if you choose to trust can be enough in your case. The reality is you cannot know what goes on in their backend, you can only know what’s going on in your backend.
God I hate these events. My company took a stance where it gives every team $100 per head that expire at the end of every second quarter and life couldn’t be better. We’re a small team of 5 people so we just use the money to occasionally feast or buy every team member a PS5 in order and we couldn’t be happier that our HR isn’t forcing us to attend company events.
If you’re in position of power please promote something similar, your employees will thank you
That’s you and me. That doesn’t apply to most people. I have rss feeds to follow what interests me. But Twitter for a lot of people is just that, a glorified rss reader. They follow some people, some news outlets and that’s it. The number of people who visit NYT organically is, in my assumption, less than 100k. I genuinely believe that services like Google News, Meta & Twitter is where NYT gets most of their clicks from.
“Nearly 400 officers have joined the round-the-clock search operation for Cavalcante, who was captured in surveillance footage fleeing Chester County Prison by “crab walking” between two walls in an exercise yard, placing his hands on one wall and his feet on another and shimmying out of view. Cavalcante then ran across a roof, scaled another fence and got through razor wire, the prison’s acting warden said.“
Other then the slowly increasing log file (if you use fail2ban for example), it will take thousands of years to actually hack you through this method as long as root auth is disabled and authentication is only via SSH keys, I wouldn’t worry about it.
It is possible to tighten the security of a machine to the point it is no longer usable. It is important to secure our devices but we cannot forget about convenience, so the trick is to tighten it but also make it so you don’t have to jump through a number of hoops till you get to your destination.
I for example, wouldn’t use your method because it would make it difficult to use some services I host from my phone.
Port knockers for the most part aren’t worrying. In an ideal situation, the only ports that should be open are 22, 80, 443 and using a reverse proxy to mask headers. (Poor configuration for example, go to Shodan and type bitwarden in the search bar and see how many people expose their instances to the world carelessly without an SSL cert) and the occasional UDP for game servers/media servers.
If you want to start with fallout new Vegas there’s a guide called Viva New Vegas which is split into two sections, the first being vanilla but patched (it’s a Bethesda game, so bugs are present and patched by the community) and the second being the “Extended” section which offers some QoL mods on top of the first section and offers things like better inventory management, sprint etc.
It also serves as a good base if you want any additional mods such as upgraded textures etc.
VNV also covers which mods to avoid due to the trouble they bring and it’s in a single playthrough (which can range 20-40 hours for me) I only crash 2-3 which is very good for Bethesda games.
If you’re on Linux, use this script to download MO2 into your prefix:
I love the XM4 headphones. They’re so good that when I was too focused on my phone I ended up missing my train. Sucks that it happened, happy with the noise cancellation quality.
Another victim of arrogance perhaps. Before the game even released fans told them that’s not what they want and they said “fuck you, you don’t understand shit” and proceeded to make one of the most uninteresting video games on the planet.
I don't use Instagram altogether, this isn't about me. The main audience of Instagram (and other Meta platforms) are teens, whom you should not expose to such advertisements. Some are not tech literate and are capable of blocking Meta's ads on a DNS level or with some other trickery. Look at the broader audience, this isn't a "Me" post.
