There is a way they block access to humans with CAPTCHA. Even to government sites that should not be obstructed. Whatever X uses has impossible CAPTCHAs that don't add up. The Google CAPTCHAs go in an endless series that will keep you solving for hours. It doesn't matter if you are using VPN or tor. Never seen the one from cloudflare fail. But I think CAPTCHA has become another NSA chokepoint that needs to be open sourced.

And the person who figured out how to stop being ripped off for ink just committed perjury actually in writing and landed himself in prison and will be tortured for the rest of his life and not be allowed to reproduce anywhere in the US sphere of influence because Homeland military-masonry says he violated IP.

 

You may find these readings interesting. Would enjoy hearing from you if you do!

That was the Framers' intention. It was not for a hunting permit. Do you have a better idea about how to enforce the self-preservation of liberty and freedom from tyranny when the tyrannical government is armed and disposed to use force against a subjugated population? How would you prevent another King George? Say you don't like Trump and he has all the top guns as the next POTUS and decided to declare a military dictatorship? Sure, they have the most powerful weapons but lawyers aren't going to help. Wouldn't you rather fight for freedom than lay down and die in the camps?

Unfortunately, Tinder doesn't work and that is helpful to get in touch with the ladies. That app is too hell bent on location data which GOS handles more privately.

NFC should work, it is just scheduled to be deactivated after 3 months if not used for security reasons.

I think GOS is very user friendly and has many positive privacy and security enhancements. I would like to see if they can surpass sandboxed Google Play and officially support other repositories and updaters like Accrescent. Also, a standard way of securing traffic beyond encrypted DNS would be good such as a tor client like Orbot.

Looking into the Veilid ecosystem might also be a source for further development ideas.

PID kill! Great one!

tor (TBB) doesn't work for everything and most people want something fast and convinient that only takes clicking a few buttons to get working. They will think it is too much work.

I recommend Brave browser which can use tor in private browsing mode but also has a regular browser with encrypted DNS (cloudflare, https strict, and shields) for things like banking, shopping, and online accounts (that might help to have a password manager for).

Also, Tor browser does not have any passthrough for security keys but Brave based on chromium does. Tor browser does not have a password manager.

Firejail should work on a profile for Brave as sandboxing is always helpful. TBB can be sandboxed easily, however.

This "multi-tiered" approach would be better for most people who aren't just accessing a handful of onionsites that replace or are in opposition to an entirely different set of services than those usually accessed on the conventional internet (online banking, social media, a few publication sites, and a search engine).

They made a mistake. As history proves, a big one. But any technical company could. So did the makers of cyclon. Apple or Windows could. The AI could exterminate us all as useless humans with low worth. The values of the current CEO should matter if they translate into real world policies, such as, defending human rights.

Yes, I do. Nice work! Great idea.

Objects that feel special to us, personified. Perhaps obvious in Japan but it is a fresh idea at least to me in the West. Love it! SR-71 personified? So cooool!

These personifications are so cool!! Take a look at MorphMoe if you haven't. Would love to see more!

This is exactly like Gentoo! A guide book with all the manpages at her waist and a tight core, absolutely no bloat. Nice!

 

I use FreeOTP+ which is supposed to be developed by people from the Fedora project and is protected by fingerprint on Pixel. I discovered that my 2FA was disabled on lemmy.world after I logged out and then logged back in a day later instead of just keeping the auth cookie active in Vanadium. Since 2FA is required to change settings, how was this accomplished and what can I do to ensure that it doesn't happen again?

 

How could 2FA be disabled if you need 2FA in order to login to disable it and my free OTP+ is biometric protected?

 

Do you know how 2FA is disabled without your consent on Lemmy.world?

Does anyone know what the technical design model of this project might entail? Its last iteration was a tor exit node, which is straightforward enough, but how would you design a gateway router accessible via WiFi that would direct all traffic over tor? This is not idea. The client (or full OS like TAILS or Whonix) is ideal and many common sites block tor (like this one). There must be a design for combining proxies with tor to get this AP to work practically for conventional use, as it seems to be advertised. Maybe early on, before tor got blocked so much, it did work as simply as it sounds.

Has anyone read the book or theories that inspired this work? Probably perfect for this community. I want to see if I can get a hold of a copy.

 

Please enjoy, comment, and share this community with others.

Would be particularly interested to hear from local PDX artists about their messages.
