- Comment on Novel attack against virtually all VPN apps neuters their entire purpose 1 month ago:
I wonder if it applies to routers made by a company who likes collecting user data. Because this is a situation many people are in.
- Comment on Bitwarden has launched a new authenticator app 1 month ago:
2 factor came into our life because people were using same passwords everywhere. With unique passwords, which are easy with password managers, it’s rarely needed.

Wait until your workplace requires you to only use MS Authenticator push notifications 😭 and HOTP occasionally…

It’s a separate app with no sync to Bitwarden accounts.

Screw this guy, but what’s baffling is that Meta didn’t do the same to Netanyahu. I guess genocide doesn’t violate their policies.

Build a fucking train.

Directly via exhaust? It’s a significant number, but maybe not the biggest one. But add manufacturing, oil (or battery materials) extraction and refining, road infra construction and maintenance, emissions connected to suburbanization, microplastic pollution from tires, health and safety impact, and you’ll get a much grimmer picture. LEDs won’t cut it, and cars do not scale to 8B people.

Does it have a Linux app? no Does it have a duo plan? no Does it have a good rating on Google Play? no Does it have a decent Windows app? last time i checked, itunes looked like an app from 2005

It’s not hard. Mullvad is €5/month. In torrent client, set up Mullvad proxy. Go to thepiratebay or any other tracker to download. Watch.
You can also do it on your old laptop and use it as a home media server. Android TV can access network shares, I’m sure some of the others can too.
