I say that waaaaaay too much when shit gets stressful

You have no idea how much of our critical infrastructure is on the net and poorly secured. And that’s not even including the items (like solar inverters) found with undocumented cellular radios that would bypass any security measures put in place.

So glad we have a competent government full of people who understand their knowledge domain and totally aren’t fucking morons out in place to destroy every institution they can.

It’s honestly kinda awful. I’ve been trying to use it a bit to help speed up some of my projects at work, and it’s a crapshoot how well it helps. Some days I can give it the function I’m writing with an explanation of purpose and error output and it helps me fix it in 5 minutes. Other days I spend an hour endlessly iterating through asinine replies that get me no where (like when I tried to use it to help figure out a bit very well documented API, had it correct me and use a different method/endpoint until it gave up and went back to my way that didn’t even work! I ended up just hacking together a workaround that got it done in the most annoying way possible, but it accomplished the task so WTFE)

If they stole data on digital insurance policies, they’re going to see a rise on their customers getting hit with ransomware attacks that are conveniently asking for their policy limit.

On my TODO list I also have to implement some sort of notification to get an alert when the decryption key is fetched from internet.

Why is it fetchable by arbitrary IPs from the internet? I’d think you’d lock it down to an IP/only make it available locally.

Where did the coin come from? Unless you mined it yourself, you’ve left a trail that may eventually lead to you. Even using crypto ATMs, you’re still on surveillance and hoping the tapes/drives roll over before someone comes knocking (which is a very likely bet to win), and even then, you still have a real world location to tie the wallet to because of where the transaction originated.

Anything that interacts with the real world can anchor your identity to your wallet. Travelling out of state can help obfuscate that to an extent, but a high level adversary will be able to correlate travel with that transaction as well.

The clone comment likely refers to the underlying architecture, as WhatsApp is using the signal protocol for its ‘secured’ messaging. Of the two, signal is the far superior choice for anyone not forced to live in Zucco’s World. It’s the more private option, and is secure by default unlike a lot of apps (namely, telegram).

WhatsApp (thankfully) is secure by default now according to Google, but it took them a hot minute to get to that point. That being said, you’re still giving metadata to Zucc no matter what, which is still really bad to give the guy working on military AI…

Signal is a much better choice and its basically a whatsapp clone.

Must be why signal runs on the WhatsApp protocol

Fucking phone systems! That’s what these are, and we have to snap them any time they’re rebooted because sometimes they just shut the bed randomly, but the client doesn’t want to buy a new system…

But, it’s their wallet and they’re willing to pay the “fuck you pay me” legacy surcharge.

What are you using for voice integration? I really don’t want to buy and assemble their solution if I don’t have to

Hahahahahaha, I still periodically see win2k/2k3 on the network at some clients, with SMBv1 enabled across the domain to make the CISO’s eye twitch

We have a machine at work which is beefy and works as a server and backups for many many years on windows 10. Why the hell should I upgrade my buisness critical system ??

Because you should be using a server grade os instead of janking things together with desktop OS installs that just make everything so much harder (and aren’t supported for as long).

Sorry, I have to clean up installs like this at least once a year when we take on clients from internal IT that just made things work instead of making something that works right, so I’ve got opinions.

Don’t get too excited, it took a fucking long ass time for them to start pulling down neonazi content. For years I heard Patrick Grey (risky.biz) bitch about how Cloudflare refused to take down Nazi content they were hosting.

I don’t watch tiktok

Does this take into account edits? What if someone edited in violent content after it was voted?

[Admin] Great callout, we will make sure to check for this before warnings are sent.

Gods, that shithole is run by fucking clowns.

Fuck that, <$20-30 or nothing. I’m not playing online, so I’m not wasting most of the cost of the game to be ignored by the dev. Fuck rockstar for turning gta5 into a live service game and entirely ignoring the single player experience.

I hate that rockstar has effectively turned a beloved series into a fucking live service game.
