congrats! the arch wiki is awesome, isn’t it?

also… this marks the second time this week I’ve heard of FireWire. though you might’ve had a better excuse for bringing it up. the other instance was my mother, mistakenly referring to the optical cable im running at home lol

unfortunately by the nature of editing and publishing, books are going to be behind the times by a good amount. with how quickly our rights are being eroded, you can look to them for foundational knowledge, but nothing cutting-edge or legally up to date.

as Nate said in their reply to you, inteltechniques. com will provide smaller updates. privacyguides.org can also be a decent place for tech/software recommendations.

however, if you’re going into the extremes that bazzell does in his book, getting at least one good lawyer is inescapable. that’s how you stay up to date with how things actually work at a state and federal level, not some random people like myself on Lemmy.

unfortunately by this point a lot of the more ‘extreme’ things are outdated. the first few chapters remain a decent starting point.

in the same way you mention cell towers being able to triangulate a device, you can also be tracked with WiFi APs if you’re connected to or even just searching for a network.

hence “beyond”… you’re good mate ;)

3,4 and 5. 1 and 2 require you to not have cell service, which is possible for any device.

do you have a portfolio I can browse? I love this

hey printf. just wanted to drop in and say its been really cool to follow your Linux journey. I don’t have suggestions for you, but please keep it up.

can I ask: what is it about OpenRC that you like? I personally haven’t tried artix yet (for personal use i’m on arch) so I’m not familiar with the differences.

If 90s are old enough for you, Mediterraneo and tre uomini e una gamba are the classics in my family

if you don’t already have a portfolio, build one. express fundamentals and show off your creativity.

sell yourself as a premium option to overseas competitors. note that by premium i dont necessarily mean “higher quality”. if you show that you have some skin in the game and benefit from their success, rather than treating it as a one-and-done contract, you earn trust and repeat business.

network with those local businesses. people buy goods and services from people they trust. this molds into my second point.

none of this will be easy, but these are fundamentals you can use with any area of business.

something I feel is important to note: they added CSAM to the list of things they were searching for in order to gain access to his phone.

when the phone was clean (due to the wipe), they did not follow up on that charge

if they truly believed this person to be in possession of CSAM, a warrant should’ve been issued by now to follow up on that very serious accusation. instead, they go after the destruction of evidence.

because they have nothing on this man, and it was a fabricated excuse to gain access to his phone.

first off: super useful project.

the two biggest things I can think of are contact list imports and exports. I could see myself adding my immediate family manually. more than that and it becomes a chore rather than a setup.

Claude is geared more towards enterprise companies, anyway. I think you went over pretty succinctly as to why: they can afford the extra resource burn.

pretty much the way I use AI rght now is similar to how you see the near future of your use.

• AI does first draft
• I review draft, conclude ‘this is shit’
• redo most of it

its pretty useful for getting through writers-block type scenarios sometimes because of that, but past the initial stages of the project the usefulness declines dramatically.

I’m still not seeing any real ways of removing the human in the loop, especially for the review process.

thanks for your writeup. I didn’t read the original but this one was fun to read through.

this looks like an awesome project, and I appreciate how you went over the ways AI helped and hindered your project at the end. its really hard to get honest feedback about AI from devs IRL right now, everyone keeps saying they have silver bullets in their workflows and I feel like the crazy one for not being able to figure it out.

looking forward to giving AC a shot!

you have a good balance OP. I’d consider a DMZ if you’re planning on hosting any public services (or even services at all, check out the ffmpeg exploit that happened last week). other than that I wouldn’t recommend you get any more granular.

the more granular you get with this stuff, the more you have to go through if/when something goes wrong or otherwise doesn’t work. which is great when you have a lot of time on your hands and an obsession with networking, but starts to become a detriment when your interest and time need to be dedicated to other things.

there’s no fucking way

yoinking that phrase, thank you. do you remember where you got it from?

yes, iirc phones still advertise periodically. best to switch it off when not in use.

Debian users should receive their news 6-12 months after everyone else, change my mind

/s

I’ll back you on this.

A few years ago, most of my privacy effort was focused on removing myself from increasing restrictions online. Even this last year, there’s been a concerted, worldwide push towards censorship and removing anonymity online.

That is dangerous, and left unchecked, leads to a future where anonymity is illegal.

Now, the majority of my effort focuses on privacy advocacy and showing up to city hall meetings to pester council members about this stuff. If we don’t do this, they will continue to erode our rights, because there is no pushback to it.

Privacy is political, and removing relevant discussion helps nobody.
