I’m an introverted individual who prefers solitude. Reading and writing are my favorite habits. I read about tech, online privacy, digital minimalism, philosophy, etc. This blog is my personal corner where I express my thoughts and reflections.
“i read and i write about what i read” isn’t enough for me.
I wrote a blog post about encryption.
who are you?
In 1953 Mayer interviewed ten male residents of “Kronenberg” (in reality Marburg) to understand how ordinary Germans felt about Nazi Germany. The town, located in Hesse with a population of 20,000 and a university, was controlled by the United States during the postwar period of occupation. The interviews occurred during Mayer’s term at Frankfurt University’s Institute for Social Research as a visiting professor. All ten were in the lower middle class. The author was not a German speaker, and the men did not speak English.
The interviewees had the following occupations: baker, cabinetmaker, bank clerk, bill collector, law enforcement officer, salesperson, student, tailor, and teacher. Walter L. Dorn of the Saturday Review wrote that the interviewees were from a pro-Nazi bloc that was the “anti-labor, anti-capitalist, and anti-democratic lower middle class”. The tailor had served a prison sentence for setting a synagogue on fire, but the others were never found to have actively attacked Jewish people. Mayer read the official case files of each interviewee.
The author determined that his interviewees had fond memories of the Nazi period and did not see Adolf Hitler as evil, and they perceived themselves as having a high degree of personal freedom during Nazi rule, except for the teacher. Additionally, barring said teacher, the subjects still disliked Jewish people. Mayer found that he sympathized with the personable qualities of his interviewees, though not their beliefs. Mayer did not disclose to the interviewees that he read their case files, nor that he was Jewish. Ernest S. Pisko of the Christian Science Monitor wrote “Had they known [that Mayer was Jewish] they would not have spoken frankly to him.” Pisko concluded that, therefore, the relationship built by the author and the interviewees was on “false pretenses.” At the time of the interviews, the interviewees were still not in favor of the democratic Bonn government. Pisko added that the interviewees could have objected to political developments that came had they known they would come, but that they failed to foresee how Nazi rule would develop.
The end of the book describes how the post-World War II United States took a pro-militarization stance, in the context of the Cold War, after initially rejecting the idea of militarizing Germany.
this is the book that answered most of my questions on that (But today we are seeing it happen in real time in America and yet no one is truly trying to stop it.) subject ☞https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/They_Thought_They_Were_Free
most of my apps have automated backups. That backup folder is synced to my laptop by syncthing. This way i always have an up to date backup of my mobile. Might indeed be what you’re asking for.
one question though, lets say my phone did get lost and I got a new one. Would I just put syncthing on the new phone to send it all back?
you will need to import those exported backups to your newly installed apps. You can’t sync android’s protected directories.
what makes them “failures”?
i hate windows and i don’t use Ubuntu but it’s difficult to consider Microsoft or Canonical as failures.
No it’s not. He can rush it through before the election. No political benefit for him, he can’t get reelected.
He is not alone there. Others around him would have prior preoccupations. I agree with quadrature on this:
Pas content, Macron a déjà annoncé qu’il demandait au gouvernement de revenir avec une nouvelle loi interdisant les réseaux sociaux aux jeunes. Une annonce qui ne sera sans doute pas suivie d’effet, tant le calendrier parlementaire français est bouché d’ici aux élections présidentielles de 2027. Mais c’est par l’Union européenne que cette mesure pourrait revenir. La Commission européenne planche toujours sur une loi européenne pour instaurer une interdiction des réseaux sociaux aux jeunes.
Macron responded to the ruling by instructing Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu to rework the legislation to address the court’s concerns, with the government now targeting spring 2027 for a revised law.
spring 2027? it’s the end of his presidency. His ban is practically dead.
fuck ICE, fuck tasers but then why did tasers become insufficient and they had to invent electroshock gloves?
fuck compliance too
According to OpenAI, one of its GPT-5.6 Sol agents was being evaluated on a platform called ExploitGym, which benchmarks large language models by asking them to write proof-of-concept security exploits for known vulnerabilities. Normally, ExploitGym is designed to be a closed ecosystem for proof-of-concept testing only, and AI agents shouldn’t have access to the internet while being evaluated.
But this agent found a zero-day vulnerability in a package registry tool called Artifactory, then used it to gain access to the web. From there, the OpenAI agent gained access to Hugging Face’s company systems using publicly exposed credentials across four separate services. It went on to spend two days inside the company’s internal systems, managed to secure root access to several production servers, and even enrolled 181 attacker-controlled devices into Hugging Face’s corporate network.

Jellyfin stop working each time I close my screen.
screen of what? Laptop? Phone? Tablet?
it may just be a background permission problem
“Once installed” is operative here. Pegasus isnt a magic wand that you can swish to read all text messages on every phone. It needs to be deployed.
indeed, unless you’re a target for a state or a company that cares to spend money to spy on you, you don’t need to worry about pegasus
While the capabilities of Pegasus may vary over time due to software updates, Pegasus is generally capable of reading text messages, call snooping, collecting passwords, location tracking, accessing the target device’s microphone and camera, and harvesting information from apps.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pegasus_(spyware)
Once installed, Pegasus has been reported to be able to run arbitrary code, extract contacts, call logs, messages, photos, web browsing history, settings, as well as gather information from apps including but not limited to communications apps iMessage, Gmail, Viber, Facebook, WhatsApp, Telegram, and Skype.
on a street like that, at that precise moment, who is “filming”?
are there multiple security cams for different angles and if so, why?
are they also blocking VPNs?
i don’t want to google.groups from lemmy to ask about it
hello cm0002
sorry to hear/read that you treat your books like that
:)
i’ve just read your new about page. It’s alright now. Still no background information but you’re clear about why that’s the case.
