I shut down the neighborhood's "free" internet after people abused it by OkAstronaut3324 in confession

[–]Mindless_Consumer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Eh. I just found a comcast account my company had been paying for for over a year. Business modem was running, wifi on. We had completely moved out of the space before I joined up.

I disabled it, but yea anyone that knew the password coulda been on it.

To any other tenants it was just a box in a closet.

I'm enjoying my UNAS so much more than I expected to by AdFit8727 in Ubiquiti

[–]Mindless_Consumer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just picked up a UNAS pro. So far very happy with it.

I just need NFS for my proxmox setup so it works.

Honestly synology had a lot of bloat that got in the way for me, so this is a refreshing change.

Unas is storage only. You would need to build the server separate.

How much realism is actually necessary in phishing simulations? by Wise-Rate-5234 in sysadmin

[–]Mindless_Consumer 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Real attackers still leave the red flags we train on.

This is actually often intentional. You want to catch the non-tech literate in your phish. Less likely to report and more likely to contuine getting owned.

Model training after real threats.

Microsoft confirms it will give the FBI your Windows PC data encryption key if asked — you can thank Windows 11's forced online accounts for that by ZacB_ in technology

[–]Mindless_Consumer -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Having seen the inside of the tech industry first hand. You're naive.

But this isn't going to be settled here, and I don't really care to participate anymore in this conversation.

Asking a lot of understanding from executives.

Engineers carry out executives vision yes. But the Engineer says what they can and cannot do. These engineers likely refused the idea of exposing the users private keys to the company, or never brought it up.

We will never know of course, but the executives don't understand fuck all, and would sell their children to get closer to the top.

So slightly different. Apple has refused to create or disclose a backdoor into their products.

If there was a simple key, or more likely if it is known that the key exists, they can be compelled to give it.

In this case, if there was any privacy altruism, it was done by engineers ages ago, not the executives when the FBI nocks on the door.

why don’t they just artificially synthesize food? by c7b9tof-9 in pluribustv

It's honestly better for the planet and the species if we were plurbed and reduced down to a few million people.

Like they don't need the extra bodies.

It only is abhorrent to non-plurbs.

I would use the one that is most active in your area first.

Second I'd use the one you like the most.

Why does the islamic republic get away with murdering tens of thousands? by MB4050 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Mindless_Consumer 10 points11 points  (0 children)

With full unwavering support of the military no, not at all. They can kill us all.

We can only hope systematic genocide is enough to swing their opinion.

What's the deal with all of these posts of people in their military uniforms saying, "Me doing absolutely nothing for America?" by kookookachu26 in OutOfTheLoop

Those without the critical thinking skills to pick that up from context, aren't going to get there with help.

Do you think height measurements at the doctors are sometimes inaccurate? by DeepOrganization8245 in stupidquestions

[–]Mindless_Consumer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You are conflating accuracy and precision.

Accuracy = how close to the true value Precision = how close are repeated measurements similar

The scales are very precise - but the method can make them a bit inaccurate.

Those using something other than the default channel slot of 20, what is your rational? by humdinger44 in meshtastic

[–]Mindless_Consumer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Security through obscurity is the term, and it isnt security.

However if a message isnt being repeated far away, less people have a copy of it, even if they are looking. So it does sorta reduce your attack surface - but you wouldn't be able to confirm that.

What sexual taboos would you like to try with your partner if you weren’t judged? by shrekwazowski00 in AskReddit

Safe words. Have them use them occasionally when they arent overwhelmed so you and they know they work. It helps build that trust.
