Are you on Chrome?

I completely agree. This shit came down when they had their failed social circled thing where they broke search operators and required a Google account for YouTube. They’ve been on the full-blown path to enshittification ever since.

I don’t disagree, but what more could Google do here? They had a flaw in their system that required two completely different services at Google in order to exploit and the result is an email address, not access to the account itself. Google also is actively paying for people to help them find these issues. I think they did a stellar job here, but of course being perfect with the security if the software implementations is always the best case.

Luckily no, but someone else on Lemmy has had this happen. It sounds like it would be a very bad time haha.

Just make sure your domain registrar is renewable from an alternate email in case shit hits the fan you don’t want to be locked out if something interrupts the service and bow your email doesn’t work and you can’t verify who you are… because… your email doesn’t work.

OTF receives the majority of its funding from the U.S. government via the U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM). Funding is appropriated for OTF through the annual  Department of State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs appropriations and provided to OTF via a grant agreement from USAGM.

For FY 2023, Congress allocated $90.5 million for programs to promote Internet freedom globally, representing a $13 million increase from FY 2022. Of the funds allocated for Internet freedom, $40 million was designated for OTF. Per the appropriations, all Congressional funding provided to OTF is used to support “programs to promote Internet freedom globally.” In addition to helping to further OTF’s mission, this funding increase is also further recognition of the increasing need for the tools and technologies OTF supports.

In addition to funding from USAGM, OTF also accepts funding from other mission-aligned donors for discrete Funds, Labs, or Fellowships. For example, OTF’s FOSS Sustainability Fund is supported in part by funding from Schmidt Futures’ Plaintext Group, Okta for Good, and the Github Foundation.

There is a lot of valuable info in TFA beyond that: how to dress, interact with others, etc. Would be good to read the whole thing if interested.

Detailed instructions for things like this will need to documented. It starts with ads… does it evolve into 1984? Who knows, but it seems more likely in light of recent events.

What do we do when they come with 5G modems built in?

Would adding tor on top of AIDATA (or AIDATA on top of tor) provide anything useful?

I don’t disagree at all, I’m just noting this stuff isn’t easy.

If it takes so much effort to make things compatible with Wayland such that fucking clipboard support is newsworthy, it’s no wonder Wayland has been such a shitshow.

You could also explore some crypto options like monero (XMR). It can be theft resistant if you set it up properly.

Edit: Mind replying to me instead of downvoting? What is the problem with crypto in this scenario?

While true, it can fill the drive replacement with data spread from way more number of drives than raid can, so the point I was trying to make is that a second failure due to resilvering cam be greatly mitigated by using a Ceph setup.

Just rebuilt onto Ceph and it’s a game changer. Drive fails? Who cares, replace it with a bigger drive and go about your day. If total drive count is large enough, and depends if using EC or replication, it could mean pulling data from tons of drives instead of a handful.

Yea that’s the whole trusting trust thing. You can theoretically set up hour browser to only trust your private CA and not trust any of the publicly trusted CAs. Depends on your threat model I suppose.

Because a private CA allows you to create a certificate and nobody else has the ability to create certificates unless you give them the keys or a signing CA. With Let’s Encrypt, you are trusting every major certificate authority to not create a cert on your domain; coupled with DNS poisoning means you would end up on a legit-looking but counterfeit website of yours.

You’ll have to explain that one to me.
