I probably spend under 50 USD a month on food—not by choice, because I can’t afford to buy more. I’m not hungry but I do yearn for being able to eat with more variety and to eat more expensive foods as a treat from time to time. So yeah, I think this is just out of touch, although I’ve never been in the US and I understand the food is both more expensive there plus people have more money there, so maybe it’s less unreasonable in the US.
Commands are normally not considered “code” on their own. Someone who just runs commands on their computer to get a few operations done will normally not learn any programming constructs or concepts. If you’re doing shell scripting that usually crosses the line into code as you’d be using if statements, for loops, etc, which you normally don’t use if you’re just moving files around or whatever in the shell.
For the outside, I just use an antibac wipe. For the ports and grills, I bought a set of anti-static tweezers for this purpose.
The key was published in the files. It’s not suspicious to use the key given that it’s public info; it’s not illegal to read the released files.
I think the point of the reddit screenshot is to show what Windows users are putting up with, not to share the meme itself.
This is just an archive. No different from using the wayback machine or any other archive of web content.
You shouldn’t be working for the US government in the first place.
10 years old is 2016. That’s not that old. I still have multiple devices from 2017 going strong, and they don’t feel old.
That’s why you don’t keep clothes if you wore them while committing a crime. Burn them.
So it mirrors repos before they go down? I think I get it if that’s the case; I thought it was just a host for “lost” software/source code in which case if you have a copy you can upload it to any software forge (if permitted by the licence). But if it’s meant to contain all software that currently exists, even if it shows no sign of disappearing, that makes more sense.
My point is that you don’t need a separate website for this; you can use existing software forge software and websites.
Putting an org’s logo on a protest callout is not “working together”. Normally it’s just “hey is [org] ok to have their name on this” “yeah go ahead”, and I imagine that’s the case here.
In any case, the US left is pathetic. It’s not the left that needs to unite, but the working class. Remember that the majority of people who fought for the Red Army during the revolution were not communists; the revolutionary subject is the entire proletariat, not communists.
I don’t think it does address the question. In order to archive source code, you need to have the source code in the first place, ie you can’t archive truly lost source code. If you have the source code, you can upload it to any software forge.
That’s cool but is it necessary? If the licence permits redistribution then anyone can just upload to an existing software forge like Codeberg etc
How do you like your carrots? Whole, chopped in a certain way?
Get a burner phone with a removable battery that doesn’t have a camera (or cover it) and only use public WiFi.
This advice really depends on what you need to do. Most people in this boat would benefit more from using something like GrapheneOS that provides actual security. If you’re talking about cheap burner phones you can buy for a bit of cash, those will be running proprietary OSes and using entirely unencrypted comms like SMS. Besides, their association with people like drug dealers means that I wouldn’t be surprised if some of them come with purpose-built spyware preinstalled. The burners will work for some narrow use cases, or if you can’t get your hands on a Pixel phone, but for most people with state level threat models it’s poor advice.
If it’s just like, using a friend’s IP address, it’s not really serving the same privacy purposes as you won’t have the same IP address as loads of people, unlike using a commercial privacy VPN. I use Mullvad which is notorious for being blocked a lot, and even I can use the internet nearly completely unimpeded.
You can torrent fine without port forwarding, but having port forwarding is helpful for seeding (which everyone who can safely do it (i.e. everyone who can afford a decent VPN) should do; it’s good etiquette and keeps torrents alive). Without port forwarding you can only seed to people who do have port forwarding, whereas with port forwarding you can seed to everyone.
For sure. I’m not financially responsible for anyone else, and it’s hard to understand how capitalists expect people to feed their kids with the kind of money they hand out with minimum wage or benefits.
