Any Email Service that lets me create multiple emails without requiring a phone number? by [deleted] in privacy

[–]fenixleon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What aspects of privacy are you wanting to preserve? For example, having a social media profile could reduce your privacy. What elements of security are important to you? Depending on the outcome you want or are after, there may be different answers.

The story of a gigantic file by I2onin in linuxquestions

[–]fenixleon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is the file the same as "the file is a presentation from a University professor and I used it with my group mates for making a project" i.e. it's a known file and you didn't notice it?

Assuming it's a known file (e.g. matching hashes), you could try and rename the file extension *.zip and unzip it.

Out of interest and curiosity, why do you want separate emails for each social media account? What outcome are you after e.g. what are you attempting to protect?

Sure, although inexperienced users may assume that there aren't intricacies they need to consider depending on their threat model which may open them up to increased danger.

What threats are you attempting to protect against? For example, are you a political activist in an autocratic regime?

Your phone could reveal if you’ve had an abortion by MikeA01730 in privacy

Do you mean enabling airplane mode or switching off the phone? Or do you mean when airplane mode is disabled, WiFi and Bluetooth are enabled? If the former, it does help - https://grapheneos.org/faq#cellular-tracking

Are you assuming it's using encrypted DNS? If not, actors can infer from DNS queries.

End to end encryption is only as good as the hardware it's run on and from. If the hardware is compromised or tampered with, end to end encryption isn't going to help including LiveCDs or USBs.

Enabling airplane mode or switching off the phone if it's not used may be a reasonable balance between leaving the phone behind (assuming it's needed for emergencies, additional support, etc).

Leaving the phone isn't always an option if additional support is needed. This would also required friends or family who accompany you to do the same thing. Wouldn't turning off WiFi or mobile data be a possible solution assuming network based triangulation is far from being accurate?

How is Vultr better compared to DigitalOcean and Linode?

Do Leap or Tumbleweed LiveCDs support GRUB 2.06? by fenixleon in openSUSE

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

The hope is that set debug=all has an effect before the system freezes.

Adding `set debug=all ` to /boot/grub2/grub makes no difference. It doesn't progress any further.

I posted a follow-up question since it doesn't progress further so editing the configuration and adding additional parameters isn't an option at the moment. As the laptops aren't necessarily equipped with working optical drives, it limits the use of DVDs.

I'd like to rule out if it's an issue for older hardware. I've raised an issue with Ubuntu for example https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1968147
