The way Android Auto connects, your phone connects to bluetooth on the car, then they set up their own little WIFI between them. That’s why it doesn’t work on VPNs that don’t allow split tunneling.

Well ladida I see you’re playing the latest games uh :)

I mean forcing a reconnect to capture the handshake is exactly how I used to speed up WIFI cracking back in college. You would need that to break in a car’s wifi in the time it’s at a red light.

Where I’m from, France, it’s not so bad I think. We have pretty strong privacy laws I feel. But now I’m in the US so yeah. I’m in cybersecurity so I see the difference with what employers are allowed to do. Also Flock cameras popping up everywhere. There are a couple near me that make me lose Android Auto’s wifi everytime I drive by them so I’m thinking it’s intercepting stuff.

Argh that was so useful in hotels. I’d take a little roku stick and poof.

Yep and then devs solved the problems of these damn IT sec people getting in the way and created “SecDevOps”. Oh it’s lean and Agile and everything but it’s dev and sec and production all in the same bucket with all the well known problems of pushing things too fast and not checking or testing enough (see CloudFlare etc).

Lol this is so weird

Personally the job search is taking all my energy and yeah im always too exhausted to do anything special. I’m not looking forward to Thanksgiving this year, I just want to apply to jobs and then be alone feeling sorry for myself when recruiters ghost me. Sorry if you’re my friend, I’ll be in a better mood to socialize when I don’t stay up every night wondering if i’m going to be homeless next month. I’m guessing many people are probably in survival mode too right now.

I have full on conversations with my cats. They don’t disagree with me!

I mean, yeah only idiots think a life of crime is fun, but how do you even make that survey? “OK to start, you are a drug dealer, correct?” Starts taking notes

That’s true. For privacy, you need anonymity, and that safe space I use is truly anonymous but as such it as its downsides. As much as we’d love to meet, or organize ourselves into a job seeking network because boy do many of us need it, or simply game online together… we can’t do any of that.

They’re 100% free in the sense that they don’t ship closed code, ever. That is the goal to attain. However, we’re not there yet. For that, hardware needs to be open. Hardware can’t be as easily be made by a group of volunteers as software. Like at all. To solve this ‘transient’ state, all popular distros allow adding some sort of ‘nonfree’ repo so that, you know, shit can work. For instance, you are free to install Debian and not enable the nonfree repo, which is not enabled by default. You are also free to wonder later why your webcam doesn’t work, you can’t print, your bluetooth headset won’t pair and your fancy gaming GPU outputs 10 FPS @800x600.

Exactly, dude is just proving them right that all men are self-important assholes. It’s like a woman going on /r/redpill and telling them they’re just angry, ugly geeks. Not helping. That being said I can’t help but think trying to create a safe space on a public space is never going to really work. I’d see more something like a private matrix space, or even properly authenticated IRC (that’s where I have my safe space about my addiction).

Indeed :). That’s what these are.

So it’s gonna be ntfs so it’s a matter of handling the permissions in fstab. Because it’s not gonna link your user ids from the NTFS files and map them automatically to your UNIX users. So there are options in fstab for that. Easy to look up. For instance maybe your user is ‘user’ so you’re gonna tell fstab to assign everything in a ntfs to partition to ‘user’. Except maybe you have media files served by plex media server running under user ‘plexmediaserver’. This kind of things.

Toilet paper. Having a happy GF and a happy daughter is important.

I find it at least concerning for CloudFlare’s change control process. Apparently some new traffic analysis config took half the web? Maybe test things a little more?

I mean in this instance, if you look at the thumbnail of the author and then follow his link, he looks not a day over 16.

Royal. There’s literally a “Mont Royal” in the middle of the city.

Yeah it’s a bit weird how something so terrible - freaking possible imminent military invasion - is presented in such a cute way.
