The local steam update distribution system probably uses bittorrent or something very similar.

Pretty sure its being used in the backend by lots of huge things. I remember something about meta/facebook using it for server side stuff. I reckon many companies that have to distribute big updates use it as well like game companies. Its just not being used to liberate users but used to lighten the load on commercial infrastructure.

Eh i considered that it might be meant as a horny joke, but wanted to voice my disgust for post death AI slop anyways.

Its true that the dead cant care, but living people like parents, friends and other siblings might. I can absolutely see someone being deeply hurt by this kind of fake technological necromancy.

Its not morbid, its disrespectful. Let dead people be dead.

People born in Israel and just existing there aren’t land thieves

Until they join the IDF (which is mandatory) and become land thieves once again.

There are basically only first or second generation land thieves. I think thats the implication, just reiterating that Israelis are land thieves.

You can embed encrypted data inside media files like video, image and audio files. Thats your best bet i think. You cant really hide an entire filesystem afaik unless you build a custom storage device with a controller that only physically connects certain sections under specific conditions.

Of course there are vulnerabilities sometimes, thats why i wrote “unless there is a major security flaw” but this kind of thing is usually fixed with days of being found.

Yeah basically disallow smoking in all places where people gather. Bars, outdoor restaurants, sports events, etc.

I wish it was banned everywhere. If you wanna kill yourself with cigarettes then do it the normal slow way with cancer, but dont endanger other people by being distracted while driving.

Smoking while driving is illegal in many (not enough) countries so it makes a lot of sense that they would be removed.

This could definitely work if you are doing something that cant easily be replaced. Maybe tell some colleagues about your “interview” as well.

Thats the dumbest shit ive ever heard. Every server that isnt yours is compromised. The general assumption in computer security is always that anything outside of your physical possession is compromised, especially when your opponent is the best equipped government on the planet.

signal only knows a phone number in association with an account creation date and the last sent message date. everything else is encrypted.

Thats not really possible. If thats all they give out, then that just means that is all that they decide to save. They have access to the servers that everyones messages pass through. They could log the IP and date for every single message sent if they wanted to, but just decide not to do it. This model fails however as soon as they are forced to save more than that.

Or you could just use an encrypted file system…

If they are willing to torture you for the decryption key, then they are also willing to kill you if you destroy the drive.

Yeah. Unless there is a major security flaw in your browser, no website can do any harm to you or your computer if you just dont give it any information.

Do you have a source for that? How would the server know who to deliver data to without being aware of the group member list?

But signal knows it so they will hand it over to the police if requested…

only add people to your group chats that you have good reason to trust

Yeah people need to really set trust hierarchies for this kinda political organizing. Sort of a “Principle of least privilege” but for people.

Only post personal or identifying information in chats where everyone already knows every other person directly. Public or effectively public(with more than like 10 people) chats should never ever have any identifying information in them.

Dont use a SIM card. Which also means dont use Signal unless you have a number than cant be linked to you.

They will absolutely plant long term rats for this shit so if you havent known someone for years, then think twice about telling them things they dont need to know.

If people are actually serious about organizing then tell them to use Briar. There is nothing else that comes close to it. You shouldnt use your primary phone for shit like this anyways so it doesnt matter if they are apple users, they should get a 100$ android just for this.
