Not only do I not mind you yoinking the text, I want to thank you for your contribution to the cause. If everyone who has signed could get one more person to sign, the initiative would succeed!

Seven countries need to reach the threshold and 1.000.000 signatures are required in total. The seven countries goal has already been reached, so right now only signatures are needed, regardless of the countries they are coming from.

Try a Reddit mirror like RedLib, i.e. https://redlib.privacyredirect.com/

I went through some old accounts when I migrated from KeePass to Vaultwarden. From start to finish, it roughly took five weeks for all ~25 inquiries to be completed. I check on my accounts every few moons.

Giving a ballpark estimate, 30% of services offer a (semi-) automated delete function in the account setting, 60% comply to emails within a few days and 10% are absolute pains.

*** RANT INTERMISSION ***

One of those 10% is Twilio (This expressly doesn't apply if you only use Authy, their 2FA service). They don't have an automated delete possibility, which is already a huge ick for a company of their size. But it got infinitely worse.

THEY DON'T LET YOU CREATE TICKETS WHEN YOU'RE A FREE CUSTOMER AND FORCE YOU TO USE THEIR AI BOT WHICH CAN'T DO SHIT AND WILL HALLUCINATE A WAY TO DELETE YOUR ACCOUNT BY YOURSELF. Their FAQs have conflicting information which some showing options that don't even exist (anymore). And you have to dig through a lot of policy pages to even find an email address to contact that THEY DON'T WANT YOU TO CONTACT BECAUSE THEY "cannot delete data on your behalf because we cannot authenticate your request by email" (quote of one of their FAQ pages).

When I finally found an email address (that was for reporting data of minors being processed, but I didn't care at that point) and pointed out to them that this is likely illegal, it was processed like a normal ticket and my account got deleted within a few days. I wonder why their legal department followed up a few days after that, apologizing for my "experience" and telling me that they would "review their processes"?

Anyway, that is that. If you want to use SendGrid or any other Twilio service except for Authy, save yourself the pain and just email privacy@twilio.com instead of trying to follow their processes which even they themselves don't seem to know.

*** INTERMISSION END ***

So far, every account I deleted, I couldn't log into after deletion. I can't really check if they deleted the rest without breaking into their data centers.

And I'm not very strict with creating accounts nowadays but I'm much stricter with documenting them to my password manager now so I know that they exist. If I don't need them anymore, they'll get caught in the next rotation.

Today I was testing the RAM of a friend in my PC and since I had it opened up anyway, I thought I could renew my thermal paste as well. When removing the block from the CPU, I saw this:

Small hole with green and white corrosion
Big blob of white corrosion

To me, this looks like corrosion. The AiO is roughly 6 years old, so it's nearing its end of life anyway, but is that normal? Should I still use this?

Thanks for any advice.

This link should be working.

Quoting from the OP tweet:

* Unauthenticated RCE vs all GNU/Linux systems (plus others) disclosed 3 weeks ago.
* Full disclosure happening in less than 2 weeks (as agreed with devs).
* Still no CVE assigned (there should be at least 3, possibly 4, ideally 6).
* Still no working fix.
* Canonical, RedHat and others have confirmed the severity, a 9.9, check screenshot.
* Devs are still arguing about whether or not some of the issues have a security impact.

I've spent the last 3 weeks of my sabbatical working full time on this research, reporting, coordination and so on with the sole purpose of helping and pretty much only got patronized because the devs just can't accept that their code is crap - responsible disclosure: no more.

Me too, I'm looking forward to the writeup.

85°C is still fine. You wouldn't want your system running at those temps all the time but if those are only spikes during intensive tasks, you're good.

If you want your PC to run a bit cooler, check your airflow, set manual fan curves, or try out a mild undervolt.

Cannot complain.

The screenshot is getting crispy, time to get it out of the deep fryer

TLDR: Avoid Telegram and WhatsApp. Recommended messengers are Session, Signal, SimpleX and Threema. Honorable mention: Briar.

He wants all kinds of pets, rubs and scritches. Belly rubs too, but please without touching the belly.

...touching the belly is still deadly though.
