deleting someone’s entire git history

Based on the image text this is for new accounts only. My account has neither phone nor credit card and I’ve not been asked to re-verify. Maybe they’re having problems with bots at the moment.

Are you certain it’s actually safe? There was a recent attack in which multiple Steam publisher accounts were hijacked to spread malware.

I suppose this would be a bit overkill for a 3D printer controller…

And no decryption keys for other attached drives.

720kph is 5 seconds per km. I would guess there’s a time step interval of 5 seconds on the device, and for some reason instead of properly recording or using the timestep of the last km checkpoint, it just used T-1, resulting in 1km / 5 seconds = 720kph.

Need to see the bottoms of those pieces.

Yeah but the main issue is that I don’t want there to be a Downloads directory in my home.

Even worse, many components will ignore the XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR var so even if you manually change it to $HOME/downloads (lower-case) it will often break things.

Isn’t that, like, the whole point of a password manager?

Definitely less secure, but way more convenient. Security for residential door locks doesn’t really matter that much though; thieves are unlikely to try to pick your lock or use some smart-device exploit to access your home - they’ll just smash a window.

The domain is registered in Finland, so someone at the top must live or have a proxy presence there.

It doesn’t need to be every country - just one.

Since the domain is registered in Finland, presumably it’d be created there. If an LLC has a single owner, you don’t need to have board meetings or anything. The sole owner would be whoever owns the website registration.

Humans who run instances are real people

This is the main problem here - the site is explicitly and legally run by a specific set of humans. Not by LemmyWorld Corp. Not by LemmyWorld LLC, but by “Jelloeater” et al. TBH this is a dumb idea. I don’t even run my own personal website as myself, let alone a forum with third-party content.

Having the admins and operators spend $50 for an LLC filing would shield the operators from most of this personal liability, even if the site itself would still be at risk of action.

“Backwards compatibility” is a totally different thing from “cross compatibility”. Of course proprietary software is going to be less cross-compatible.

When SETI decides to stop blasting your videos into deep space.

how they want to make those attesters trustworthy

It’s all derived from hardware security modules like TPM. It’s not impossible to exfiltrate private keys from these devices, but it’s difficult and expensive, involving de-lidding the chip and carefully reading electric charge values from individual flash gates. Not out of reach for a sophisticated state-sponsored targeted attack, but certainly puts Evil Maid and other opportunistic attacks out of reach.

As for how original integrity is established, that’s done by saving the public key or equivalent while the device is in the possession of the trusted entity.

Science fiction spacecraft - Enterprise, Nostromo, Tardis, Falcon, etc.

A lot of the rebuttals in this thread are non-sensical. Why would I let someone use my phone for no reason?

When people say they don’t care about privacy, they don’t really mean it. What they mean is they are willing to sacrifice some of it for the sake of convenience, safety, or something else they find valuable. That’s certainly a valid trade-off to make. If you’re trying to convince someone they should care more about privacy, that entirely depends on the person.
