Right. Don't replace systemd, compete with it. Don't remind everyone that your competitor exists.

I guess everyone means UVC here. A UVA flashlight is cheaper than lunch ;) edit: my facts were scrambled. C is the nasty one... maybe my favorite (unsafe) language will help me remember that from now on.

Referring to the article in [0], facts are not copyrightable. If you're going to write some code, then you usually choose to base your work on a particular language, which means you copy a lot of the design decisions and original wor

MetroPCS (prepaid MVNO now something like a subsidiary of TMo) required the 8-digit PIN on the account in order to change IMEIs. A bot would take down all the info, then if/when it was to a phone you'd never used on their network

Yeah it is kind of silly. If you aren't truly anonymous, you blow out some of your deniability just by discussing deniability. You said law enforcement and I straw manned another thing today. Great.

Have you ever remembered something that you left in a home directory on someone else's server but only after you no longer had access to it? It wasn't sensitive but then, it wasn't something you'd leave in a public place

If your /boot is on a USB drive and you set up with detached header then the disk can already be 100% random data. On the down side, that USB drive is not very deniable and the system can't be set to destroy it since you probably

Violent is the point-- shutdown might be prohibitively slow. Or it'll get stuck waiting to umount a network share. Or maybe, you want the DRAMs to go dark and start losing ASAP, I don't know. If you must, simply precede 'o&#x

I apologize. Obvious sarcasm blew right over my head and I need to hurry up and stop pretending. I feel like my effective IQ right now is between 90 and 100 at best . The supposed reasons for that are all wrapped up in Facebook drama (minu

It installs and loads in Waterfox, but of course it still hasn't been touched in 3.5 years. I used Scrapbook in the past (which also still works) but I usually just save random things in ~/webpages/ since (apparently) 2011. T
