    Shelly also has static analysis for AUR packages that looks for all the common, shifty ways a pkgbuild might try to give you something bad.

    To clarify, the packages in the CachyOS repo from the AUR are manually reviewed by a team member before inclusion and updates.

    CachyOS takes the default arch repos and re-builds packages targeting CPU generations and their instruction sets. There are no proprietary repos. Cachy has their own personal repo …

    A system where the whole populace votes on everything isn't the only kind of democracy. The US is a representative democracy.

    I mean just read through the link above. You'll find no exemption for personal use when it involves bypassing DRM. Which I don't think any DVD or blu-ray anymore lacks. I'm also re…

    Unfortunately not. The exemption dropped some years ago.

    Personal archival isn't exempt anymore, that dropped some years ago. The only archival exemption now is for "qualifying institutions".

    FWIW, I've been using an Omada switch and 2 APs for over a year with the controller in a docker container without any issues. I have preferred OPNSense as my router/firewall for ye…

    Could potentially Faraday cage it if you can find the exact spot it's at.

    I wholly agree with your sentiment, but as someone who cares to actually take action for my privacy this kind of onerousness is par for the course, unfortunately.

    I think an argument should be made against normalizing this, which could then lead to OEMs building in internet assisted data export functionality in new cars and people won't know…

    Bitwarden is fantastic IMO, vaultwarden if you like to self host. Out of an abundance of caution, it would be prudent to change the passwords for the most critical accounts in your…

    That's possible, but those services most likely offer another form of 2FA. Getting away from using SMS 2FA everywhere you can is best.

    Consider porting the number to something like Google voice or jmp.chat and get a random number you don't care about for your SIM.

    This isn't really true last I checked. They merely make their testing repo, what's effectively in line with normal arch release, available for 2 weeks then rely on someone telling …

    I rented one for a while and it was far better than 'not great'. Only downside really was the noise from the air circulator located inside, otherwise it was pretty much a normal 3 …

    I highly recommend Neo Store. It's a drop-in replacement for f-droid that leverages the newer Android API for seamless updates. Been using it for months happily.

    SMB signing is only on by default for servers. I've done quite a few pentests where that's been leveraged to dump the SAM hashes of workstations that happen to have the Domain admi…

    I moved from lastpass to bitwarden about 2 years ago, then to self hosting vaultwarden about 6 months ago. Bitwarden wasn't as feature-full as lastpass at the time, but I liked it …

    Not only phishing, but too many people have the terrible habit of using the same password everywhere. So with public breach data, it's not a stretch to think bad actors would try, …

    Graphene certainly looks impressive by all accounts, but are there any 3rd party audits? I can't find any. I've learned to expect that from FOSS software that has any kind of secur…

    Did you try Ravio OTP? I've seen good things said about it by FOSS people. https://raivo-otp.com/
