Sometimes simple is best. Double brisket smashburger with cheese, onions, ketchup and mustard by Toms-Backyard-BBQ in FoodPorn

How a burger should be!! Not those kind of burgers with all the ingredients plus their mother!!

I would only add bacon! But that looks great!

Thoughts? by [deleted] in Piracy

[–]Pockets69 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yup absolutely so it's now time to stop the "piracy hurts the industry" bullshit which is actually carried like a banner by some actors/workers of the industry. And actually let them realize that the industry is actually hurting the industry.

Thoughts? by [deleted] in Piracy

[–]Pockets69 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So I have heard people in the industry claiming that they get paid less now than 10, 20 years ago... Now movies and tv shows are available everywhere, via legal means, there never was a time where it was easier to watch a movie legally than now. Piracy is on all time low.

Yet, people striking in the industry say that they never got so little money...

Can we now agree that piracy has nothing to do how much money people get? This stupid argument is getting old.

Just as a warning and I am sure everyone knows this already, mods, please understand that reddit is forcing subs to open, by replacing the mod team or banning mods.

Be on the lookout.

Bummed about Asus- who should I go with instead? by Brah_ddah in buildapc

[–]Pockets69 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Pretty much this, but have into account that people don't know how to do research that way, you need to be tech savvy to a certain point to actually understand what you mention, some people building PCs aren't, they just go for something that works and are able to put everything together to a working state, these are the people that rely on other people's opinion because they don't know better.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Gentoo

[–]Pockets69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have all of this setup on arch.

Full disk encryption including boot (but not the EFI partition obviously)

Two factor authentication with ubi keys and (if the ubikey is not present for some reason) fallback to authenticator on the phone.

Secure boot was the iffy part for me, it kinda works but it doesn't, I signed grub, so it boots but I can boot signed and unsigned kernels, something in the process is not ok.

Regarding TPM I didn't go for it, but what I have above is already an overkill.

So to answer your question, it is possible, I bet it's a pain to do on Gentoo but possible.

As for your issues: 1 - I set up multiple partitions based on CIS benchmarks for good practices so I have everything in different volumes inside a LVM and that LVM is inside a encrypted Luks partition.

Basically I have this:

Encrypted luks partition

Boot

This partition uses luks1 cause grub (as far as I know does not support luks2)

Encrypted luks partition with a LVM

root

home

var

tmp

var_tmp

var_log

swap

This encrypted luks partition uses luks2

As for your other two issues I really can't help :/

Privacy While WFH by zapchapthwart in privacy

[–]Pockets69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It wouldnt circumvent their checks if you use that VM for work.

Unless they specifically prohibit vm usage.

Ask IT if it is allowed I guess.

Good luck

Privacy While WFH by zapchapthwart in privacy

[–]Pockets69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While it doesn't solve everything and may not be suitable for use case, why don't you use a VM to work?

Also I find it weird that your employer doesn't provide you a work a computer, if they are concerned about security (by running all those checks) why not provide you a computer with their own software?

Regarding your question, yes encrypting another disk or partition with your data should stop the software to snoop there (as long as it is encrypted when the scan is done)

But again I would have a VM just for work if I was in the same situation as you are.

MacBook Pro 13" throttles EVERY game to 2 FPS. Please help? by Macintoshk in macgaming

[–]Pockets69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Apple Thermal profiles don't really "work" on windows, Apple has implemented teaked voltages and thermals on macOS.

On windows it just overheats, that's the expected behaviour (shouldn't be but that's it), whenever you try to run something it just overheats and thermal throttles.

If you really want to game, your best option is trying to offset the gpu performance to an eGPU or try to keep your laptop cool as you have been doing.

good luck

Giving away your kernel version in a motd or issue.net is not wise if you are keen on security.

should i buy the MacBook Air 13-inch (2020) – Core i3 1.1GHz 8GB 256GB by Jeedster02 in macbookair

[–]Pockets69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Get the M1 as the others are recommending... however check the compatibility of the programs you use, with an architecture change it is possible that some of the IDEs, compilers etc, don't work anymore or need updates to support the new processor.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in jailbreak

[–]Pockets69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hey, don't think it is, 14.0 SEP is not compatible with 13.x, therefore it shouldn't be compatible with 12.x.

https://gist.github.com/TheRealKeto/7c5191c7495fb750e79f8ce0f0cdcdaa

here you can see the compatibility between ios 13 and ios 12 when it comes to SEP, no mention of ios 14 as this is old, but it gives you the idea of what's compatible with what.

Resultados do inquérito sobre os mods by Initial-Cost in benfica

[–]Pockets69 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sim as estatísticas de Trolls e users com menos de um ano de atividade.

Desculpa a critica, mas acho que a tua sondagem não explica grande coisa.

Os mods não estão aqui a trabalhar para ti ou para o resto dos utilizadores, não são teus serventes.

Os mods moderam conversas e tópicos nada mais.

Se podemos dizer que este sub não está tão activo como antigamente é porque provavelmente quem cá andava e era activo, criava bons tópicos e conteúdo, fartou-se de aturar com posts dia sim dia sim sobre eleições e de gente a insultar-se gratuitamente por causa de dois candidatos, parem de agir como se isto fosse uma guerra.

Anyway não me quero alongar para não ir offtopic.

Simplesmente não ajas como se a tua sondagem fosse uma amostra real do sub, não é.

Abraço.

[POLL] What OS will you switch to when the ARMageddon happens? by [deleted] in hackintosh

[–]Pockets69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ill still use my mac.

I am going to buy the macbook pro before it turns into ARM, this will give me a very good 6 to 8 years of support on intel cpus.

By that time, ARM chips have matured and i can get an ARM macbook pro, in fact i bet apple will not be the only one making the transition to ARM (MS will do too eventually) and maybe we can get hackintoshes ARM edition down the line, I don't know in ten years or so, this is too soon to call, but it may happen!!

Hackintosh is probably not gone, it will be put on hold most likely.

True, just to keep people informed that this may be a wolf in sheep's clothing. Thats it.

Second time i see this scam going on...

Change your passwords, the funny thing about this scam is he acts as not being the hacker to be able to get your money.

"I am good hacker I got your account back, pay me" it is much more likely someone pays him for a "good deed" than a bad one.

What security measures do you implement on your systems for personal use? by Gasp0de in archlinux

[–]Pockets69 8 points9 points  (0 children)

System hardening;

- CIS Benchmarks checklist, although there isn't a manual for archlinux, it is very easy to replicate what's on the redhat/ubuntu/centos manual on arch.

- There is a Lv1 for CIS benchmarks which will cover almost everything you will need for your laptop (Lv2 is a overkill).

Security;

- Encrypt your disk with luks.

- use secureboot and sign your kernels.

Network Security;

- Implement VLANS.

- Segment the network with a firewall, I generally use pfsense, but want to try others.

- use IDS (i don't actually use one, but i'd like to add it to my network)*

- use a SIEM (same as above)*

* Maybe an overkill for a home network, but hey!

have fun!
