@nprofile…46cg I use this https://github.com/knitcodemonkey/cfg/blob/master/CFG.md. Works great and only needs git as a dependency.

@nprofile…fle4 I know that Apple pulling ADP is wrong but I would like to point out that standard protection still means Apple is encrypting data at rest see: https://support.apple.com/en-gb/102651. The biggest difference is they have the keys to the data unlike with ADP where the device creates keys and encrypts the data before sending it to Apple. I don’t know if google offers that service but it was beyond what most cloud service providers offer.

As the year wrapped up, I spent some time reflecting on my transition from a CyberSecurity engineer to Principal engineer which inspired me to write a blog about the steep learning curve of writing quality coding and—how I used #rust to reinforce my skills. Check it out and let me know what you think!

@npub1h4u…cnpk @npub1de0…yyjr I would recommend Sequoia it’s a full replacement of the gnupg project and is in rust and being built by someone real smart people including ex-gnupg devs. We’ve used it in doip-rs #keyoxide and the api is super well documented. You can also fully use pure rust by changing the features tho the rust crypto libraries aren’t safe yet.

@npub1sua…szrk SSDs can be wiped pretty trivially via BIOS could be they left the laptop unattended and someone had fun? Or they were playing in the BIOS? I think S.M.A.R.T tracks ssd wipes. Worth checking S.M.A.R.T in case it’s a dead controller.

@npub1zpu…qh6x I wonder how I2P torrents work? Can I just use any torrent file and send over I2P? How do trackers work?

@npub1zpu…qh6x getting a center speaker fixes that issue. 90% of movies have soundtrack and voice on center channel and TVs mainly are stereo so all the other channels cover the center channel sounds.
