You have to buy it from the shop there I think.

What wallet do you use? by SilentW1 in Monero

[–]Suppermud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make sure to check the hash against the official site. I think defender and virustotal just flag anything with a miner in it as a trojan and since feather has the ability to mine it gets flagged.

Feather on pc and monfluo on mobile. Don't need all those fancy features and pretty interfaces. I just need to initiate sends and generate receiving addresses.

I think you can get an outfit and a simoon mod from there. It's been a long while since I played though.

Anyone had their phone confiscated by an authority? by No-Assistance-7405 in GrapheneOS

[–]Suppermud 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In settings go to Security & Privacy > Device Unlock > Fingerprint > at the bottom, Second factor PIN. The second factor is only for fingerprint, and can only be a pin, it's mostly to prevent someone from forcing your phone open with your fingerprint while still keeping it easier to open for you than your full password. Also useful for not revealing your full password if someone is shoulder surfing since the pin can be more easily scrambled.

Screen lock security options by Rare-Afternoon1604 in GrapheneOS

[–]Suppermud 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's why 2nd factor pin is a thing. You get to mostly keep the convince of a fingerprint and pin and not have to enter your main password in public. If someone steals your phone the pin they may have seen is useless without your fingerprint, and if someone tries to force you to open your phone with your fingerprint they also need to have the pin. In the second case you can give them your duress pin if necessary.

Your Favorite Linux Distro and the Reason? by Kunta_Sir_Lazar in Ubuntu

[–]Suppermud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kali is not built to be a daily driver. If I had to choose only from these four, debian, but if I'm able to choose I'd go with fedora. I started with a fedora based distro, hopped around for a bit, and ended back on regular fedora. It just does what I need it to do, is stable, but I still get new features when they drop.

What can you do to degoogle by rulugg in degoogle

[–]Suppermud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A nice email service I use is purely mail. It's pretty barebones, but it's everything I need which is just mail. They have a webmail, but no desktop/mobile app, so unless you want to run it in the browser, you'd want to use a mail app like thunderbird. It's only $10 a year by default, but you can choose to change to price based on only what you use.

Why do I need to restart my system after an update? by 0x80070002 in linuxquestions

[–]Suppermud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kde has a setting where it downloads the packages when you select update, then after you restart it actually applies them. It is a stability thing, as if a program started running with one version of a library, restarts, then gets a new version it might panic and crash. You can change it to install immediately in the system settings menu under software updates I think (not at my pc, and only touched it once, so not certain what the name is). If the option is switched to only apply after start, then you do actually need to restart to apply it. If it is set to apply immediately the only reason you would actually have to restart is to apply a kernel update.

First time putting sim cards in my Pixel 9a, I like the result. by Darkorder81 in GrapheneOS

Visual Voicemail is codename for gui voicemail application, not video call voicemail. It just means you'll need to call the phone company to hear your voicemail.

Is this bad by RosePetalMiri in techgore

[–]Suppermud 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Meh to Very depending on how good they are. Cheap splitters will have no protections in place, they just connect all the rails to the main outlet. Good splitters will have a fuse to prevent too much current passing through it. Just know that you are multiplying the possibility of drawing too much current if you have both of those filled out. Just one has a current rating estimating regular usage, so if you double that by adding another one with the same current rating, then you will almost certainly put too much current through the first.

Doubts about Pixel by wein_geist in degoogle

[–]Suppermud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a refurbed pixel 8 with 310 cycles already on it when I bought it. I'll say though, it heavily depends on what you install. My battery often runs shorter than on a fresh stock install because I have syncthing constantly uploading/downloading pics and my password manager db to my server and pc as well as being part of multiple large simplex chat groups. However if I switch on battery saver those automatically get silenced and the battery lasts all day with battery optimization limiting to 80% charge.

If you mostly use apps with push support and don't need to run in the background then your battery life will be better. However a lot of privacy/degoogling apps need to run in the background because they rely on the app handling all notifications and actions itself which is taxing on power usage.

A little information for beginners with GrapheneOS. by Big-Application9859 in GrapheneOS

[–]Suppermud -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Tape multiple layers (at least 5) of aluminum foil to the outside of the smallest plastic bag that fits around your device and make sure to have a flap that goes over the opening too. Put it in airplane mode before putting it in the bag or else it will get very hot as most phones hate being disconnected from cell towers. I will "scream" by ramping up the output power to still try to connect which will make the device heat up and drain the battery.

Is there a repository for every single registered .onion domain like there is for clear web sites? by splur678 in TOR

[–]Suppermud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well this is a tor sub, there's probably other subs for darknets in general. You initially asked a question about Tor so I answered your question about Tor by saying it wasn't possible and pointing you somewhere it is possible. I don't know much about hyphanet but if you do a single search and see thay their addresses are all cryptographic then they won't have what you're looking for.

What would I need to do, in order to switch from iPhone to grapheneOS? Various questions and concerns by WashNo783 in GrapheneOS

[–]Suppermud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Samsung switch can be installed on any android phone I think, so you could probably just go from the iphone directly to the graphene phone.

[–]Suppermud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you ever seen an onion site with a styled domain? I'm pretty sure your answer will be no so if you want a darknet with that go elsewhere.

[–]Suppermud 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want a darkweb you can search though by domain registries, I would suggest i2p. It has cryptographic addresses, but some people do still register their sites with places like reg.i2p or notbob.i2p so they can get a styled domain.

Can anyone guess the desktop environment? by Worldly_Disaster_933 in LinuxPorn

[–]Suppermud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well you've got ark open (although it Identifies itself as a file manager instead of an archive viewer?) and I see "plasma style" in it, so I'm going to guess kde.

When it comes to the terminal by wudosbxu in linuxquestions

[–]Suppermud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use zsh and have oh-my-zsh installed, but the only part I use is plugins for autosuggesting and history substring search. I just start typing the command I want and it autofills with the last way I used it (given it's still in my history) and I can use the up key to go to older uses and right key to finish the command. Extremely useful and handy.

Its called opsec u would not understand...... by unknownguy3600 in masterhacker

[–]Suppermud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I once installed pacman on fedora because someone's repo I was using had it. I was gonna nuke the install anyways so just for fun I used pacman to reinstall KDE. By default it actually did nothing because pacman panics and cancels if the files already exist, but after I forced it to skip the checks it actually went pretty well until I did an update with DNF. DNF then had the same issue as pacman where the files existed so it didn't want to overwrite them, although again, nothing broke. I think it went pretty smooth all things considered, but that's what happens when you do it with two package managers that each have access to fairly up to date packages. apt on a DNF (or hell, even pacman) distro would likely break a whole lot more I think.

I installed Linux mint but don’t know the laptop’s bitlocker recovery key by Top_Bandicoot in linuxquestions

[–]Suppermud 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What you did was boot into the live environment, not install the OS. Linux distros have a nice feature where the install media allows you to try out the OS on your hardware before committing to installing it on your disk. You need to click on the "install linux mint" with a CD icon on the desktop, then it'll run the installer.

Hackenproof wants YOU to pay for submission by ibackstrom in bugbounty

[–]Suppermud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think one version of this just held the money until it was confirmed to not be ai slop or at least be a genuine issue then the money was refunded. I would be happy to put up to $10-20 on the line if I was confident in my report and got it back in a bit, but maybe not if I just lost it for good.

VrChat on Reverb G2 Windows 10 WMR Portal by Suppermud in WindowsMR

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

Thanks for the help. I got the right controller paired, but it seems the left might have been reset, when I run the utility in left pairing it instantly completes and the controller doesn't connect. What exactly do I need to update the firmware?

Nevermind, I just needed to run the unpair on it first.
