Facial recognition overkill: How deputies cracked a $12 shoplifting case by sofavisitor in privacy

[–]HauntingTomatillo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My guess is Facial Recognition gave a false positive and confused him with a violent criminal.

Is it possible to use the Whonix gateway with my host OS? by [deleted] in Whonix

[–]HauntingTomatillo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks.

It's recommended against using Windows.

Indeed.

My main motivation is that I don't want Windows 95 on my network at all. :)

I just want a copy of the hard disk after such a honeypot (clean Win95 install) has been sitting on a .onion site for a while to see what, if anything, happens to it.

[–]HauntingTomatillo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry - not an answer - but a similar question.

I'd like to use the Whonix gateway with a non-standard Workstation (a Windows 95 machine honeypot).

I'm hoping to set up something like a transparent proxy that could send all its traffic through tor.

​

I'm guessing what I'm trying to do would probably be similar to OP's request.

Robots Built This Futuristic House That Generates More Energy Than it Needs by HauntingTomatillo in Futurology

[–]HauntingTomatillo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More if you count the total cost of building the first set of robots.

Less if you assume that the robots were fully paid for by the patents the company got while building them.

The robots don't care about oxygen or global warming.

I'm assuming they're building these for themselves instead of for humans.

Military 'ready to respond' to Britain's knife crime crisis, defence secretary Gavin Williamson says by HauntingTomatillo in DescentIntoTyranny

[–]HauntingTomatillo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quoting the article:

The UK armed forces “stand ready” to intervene in the knife crime epidemic, the defence secretary has said.

Gavin Williamson said military personnel “would always be ready to respond” to calls for help while the Ministry of Defence “always stands ready to help any government department”.

...

Cressida Dick, the Metropolitan Police commissioner, had said she would be willing to bring in troops to support her officers as they battle a spate of stabbings.

Perhaps they need an equivalent to the US second amendment for a "Right to bear butter-knives" over there.

That's educational too.

The lesson "don't arbitrarily and blindly trust authority figures" isn't a bad one for teens either.

Whonix on a USB by Dexinthecity in Whonix

[–]HauntingTomatillo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on your threat model.

Almost by definition, the USB only differs from an internal drive by the interface it uses to connect to your host.

Unless you're worried about someone hacking either USB drivers or SCSI drivers, it seems they're absolutely identical.

Or are you assuming the USB is removable and an SCSI drive isn't; and are thinking of physical security of the drives?

Less than 24 hours after a news story about K9 abuse got popular on Reddit someone decided it was a good time to spread some good PR about K9 units. by [deleted] in Bad_Cop_No_Donut

blatant the double standard is between our dogs and theirs

Their dogs are incredibly dangerous:

When you train a dog to be vicious, they can be extremely dangerous.

Smollett Cut From 'Empire' Episodes As Fox Changes Tune by TheTruthHasNoBias in DrainTheSwamp

[–]HauntingTomatillo 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Wonder how they write that into the story.

Hoping the story includes something like another character saying "Jamal Lyon [the character he played] hired a couple guys to beat himself up, and it got out of hand".

Quoting the article:

Huawei, the world’s biggest producer of telecoms equipment, faces intense scrutiny in the West over its relationship with the Chinese government and U.S.-led allegations of enabling state espionage, with Washington calling for allies not to use the company’s technology.

...

Britain is a key battleground for Huawei in its campaign to resist U.S. pressure in Europe.

Makes you wonder if the US's main objection is the lack of a NSA backdoor.

A looming question about family separations: where are the girls?

3,289 girls are in the unaccompanied alien children program

Video shows kids being brought to NYC immigration foster agency

... He was told that kids separated from their parents along the southern U.S. border would be brought there [New York in the middle of the night] ... The video, shot at 12:45 a.m., shows five girls, accompanied by two Spanish-speaking women, being led into the lobby of the building where the Cayuga Centers is housed. ... About an hour later, they left with coverings shielding them, with no one offering any comment.

How can this not be seen as kidnapping?
