For the love of God stop giving bad advice. Anti virus software cannot protect you from all viruses. Viruses are trained against anti virus software nowadays so only behavioral detection may help.

Trusted community and uploaders is the only way this works.

Movies and audio are very rarely infected, almost never. That depends on bugged software, so that you can be relatively safe of.

Executables… well… no anti virus can protect you in reality from dumb double-clicks. This is because viruses are trained against anti virus software until they can’t be recognized. There are mathematically an infinite number of patterns to run a program to trick all kinds of anti viruses. So in reality you can’t be safe. Once that’s done by an expert virus creator, the best you have to protect you is a behavioral detection of viruses, which may or may not work.

So, don’t rely on anti viruses. They barely protect you from script kiddies and legacy viruses.

One just has to wonder… how evil can Google become?!

This is the first time I ever hear of Usenet… read a little… but honestly sounds freakishly scary… torrents are anyway filled with malware… and now we have to trust a centralized source for files?

Do clients that use Usenet verify public torrent file hashes? How is security handled such that I know the files aren’t infected compared to whatever the same torrent offers?

It’s still a proposal. Nothing concrete yet. But from the looks of it, you can’t play such games since it’s cryptographically verified.

First they established a new standard for extensions that makes it harder for adblockers to work in chrome, that’s manifest v3.

And now they want establish cryptographic verification of the environment so that you can’t have a custom environment in your browser, like having adblockers. Similar to how DRM works.

As long as average Joe uses chrome, we’re doomed.

It’s all about the economics. Is your time more valuable than that wasted by the ads?

If you’re watching YouTube 10 minutes a day, then it doesn’t make sense for you. Cost/benefit analysis should be done.

Moderators are narcissistic losers… who has any time to moderate anything they have zero control over without earning for it? Good people understand how to use their time to create value. Those narcissits enjoyed stepping on dissent and now they’re being stepped on. Good! More than ever, moderators are looked down upon. This is a win for humanity.

A: “Hey I’m a moderator on reddit”

B: “Eww! Ever considered being useful?”

That’s how conversations should go.

That’s an overkill and doesn’t give any extra security. Multiple accounts is more reasonable.

Here’s a crazy idea…

Why not use another Vaultwarden account? :D

The Linux community doesn’t understand what “just works” really means.

Whether windows or mac, I plug my machine to the docking station, and it just works.

With Linux, every day a different problem. Out of the blue, screens just stop working. Resolutions change. Every restart different behavior. Zero consistency.

I’m not 17 anymore… I don’t have the time to keep tweaking. I need to be productive.

So what do I do? I SSH to a Linux machine whose desktop environment I don’t wanna see, and code remotely. Most productive setting.

You asked. Here’s the answer.
