You get what you pay for, I guess.

I had gone some length of time without remembering that story, thanks so much for the spike of anxiety.

All good, thanks for clarifying! Yeah, the warrantless searches the government thinks they can do, along with the ability to change the rules to target anyone they don't like, means that everyone is now in a "highly targeted by the CIA" scenario. At least, I've updated my threat model, and I'm ready to nuke everything at the first kick on my door. I don't have anything to hide, but I also don't plan to give anyone anything without my consent.

And the point of my original comment is that encryption alone will not save you; please go read the thread from the start. All I've been saying is that sometimes destroying the data before an imminent breach, like this tool does, is the only way to be sure you haven't been breached. The person I responded to clearly thinks encryption would be enough and this tool is unnecessary even in the event of a breach, as does every response after, including yours, and that is simply untrue. Encrypt, and consider using this tool or one like it. Like you said, hammer + nail (though that isn't a guarantee ๐Ÿ˜‹).

Uh-huh. Scenario: you're breached and your encrypted data is exfiltrated. Please describe the update process for the encryption of the copy the attackers now hold.

Your encryption might take the age of the universe to break with current computing hardware, but we wouldn't be having this conversation if vacuum tubes were still a thing. 1024-bit DKIM used to be the gold standard, now it's unusably weak and 2048-bit is king, due to advances in computing hardware.

Are you really going to bet we don't make faster computers in the next 20 years? Or that you'll be aware an adversary can break your encryption the instant they have the capability?

Encryption is just locks and since locks can be opened it must be assumed they will be. For sensitive data, destruction is the only option.

But yes, also encrypt your darn data.

"Double-neurodiverse"? Look I'm all for more acceptance and understanding of me and my ND homies, but I'm pretty sure you only get the buff effect once no matter how many conditions with that flag you have; it doesn't stack.

Are you okay with tampons in boys' washrooms?!

Yyyes. And it's weird that republicans are not. They're hygiene products, not a political statement.

Nah man, this is very concerning. You don't need to calm down; I think everyone else is too fuckin calm about it.

What I want from anyone supporting this decision is a single example of a situation where the President would need to break the law in an official capacity. I want just one. I'll not get it, but I'm gonna keep demanding it.

I'm sure it's nothing and everything is fine. Now, who wants to buy some of this Reddit stock? I'll cut you a special deal so you don't miss out! ... Anyone?

A GIF of the human "success" animation for researching Core Waste Dumps, from the game "Master of Orion 2: Battle At Antares". I actually played a game all the way through to this point to get the footage, as I didn't have it on any of my games in progress at the moment.

Not only that, but the post I made it for got buried under downvotes, so nobody'd ever see it if I only posted it there. I hope other enjoyers of this sci-fi 4X classic find a pleasant dose of nostaligia in it ๐Ÿ––

Good. What kind of a fucking psychopath sees a car of lost young people and decides, instead of offering directions or at worst leaving them the fuck alone, that they deserve assault with a deadly weapon?

Goddamn deranged.
