  Fuck!

  iOS: Clocks

  Hypatia is good on Android. iOS needeth no antivirus.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is your favorite cybersecurity tool and why?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I have a page on my Gemini capsule with a list of the software I use. Ask away about my reasons for any of the entries.

  Gemini | HTTPS

  I also quite like LUKS, VeraCrypt, and geli(8) for disk encryption, and I use mainly physical media (e.g. CDs) for music and video.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I just acquired a new PC⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, for all of the above, I’d personally recommend using Linux Mint to get started. I’ve always found that it’s too much work to debloat Windows, and it’s considerably less secure than Linux (normally).

  Most Steam games run on Linux, but there are a few that do not. Music production could also be a bugbear, as a lot of popular software does not run. You could always try using WineHQ to run the Windows versions, however, or try a compatible alternative.

  If you simply must run Windows, you have two options. Dual-booting is a good idea, as this lets you select whether you want to boot Windows or Linux when you turn on the computer. Another option is using a virtual machine; this would allow you to run Windows inside Linux. For this, I’d recommend VirtualBox to start with.

  It’s honestly an achievement when an airline is so bad that even Ryanair is better.

  That’s an oxymoron.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Streaming Has Reached Its Sad, Predictable Fate | What should I watch? is now a much easier question than How do I watch it?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Almost. I tried t’ get it on DVD, but one o’ th’ sellers were bein’ based in China, and th’ other were bein’ a “large retailer” operatin’ out o’ a garage in London, and not th’ nice part. I had already been piratin’, but I thought I’d try t’ get it legitimately t’ support th’ people who worked on th’ show. Aarrr! Few movies and series be good enough t’ earn that, in me book.

  Noice.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Streaming Has Reached Its Sad, Predictable Fate | What should I watch? is now a much easier question than How do I watch it?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  And that’s where the piracy comes in. How do you think I’ve been watching The Owl House?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Streaming Has Reached Its Sad, Predictable Fate | What should I watch? is now a much easier question than How do I watch it?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  The streaming services have managed to completely forget their business model of being marginally more convenient than piracy.

  As for me, though, I’ll start ripping my DVDs. I’ll sail the high seas when I have to, but I’d may as well get hard copies of my favourite films and TV shows.

  What about iOS 17 Public Beta?

  DVDs, people. DVDs and Blu-Rays.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to use Microsoft Teams Privately?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  If you use Linux, I’d recommend using teams-for-linux. It’s the web client, but in its own little box.

  If you really want to be anonymous, you can probably run this app over Tor with the command torify flatpak run com.github.IsmaelMartinez.teams_for_linux or torsocks flatpak run com.github.IsmaelMartinez.teams_for_linux; but occasionally this causes problems. It’s also not great for calls.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Threads' New Terms and Conditions Affects the Fediverse⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Would it be possible to blacklist Threads, but also whitelist specific accounts? I don’t want any more to do with Meta than I already do, but I’d also like some way of sending questions into The Last Leg.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New York police will use drones to monitor backyard parties this weekend, spurring privacy concerns⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  For people wanting to take down drones, I think a HERF beam would work. It uses a beam high frequency radio waves to disable electronics. Since there’s no projectile, it would be easier to use without getting caught.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨2FA app⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  For Android, I recommend Aegis [Play Store] [F-Droid]

  For BSD, either try compiling OTPClient from source, or use KeePass.

  Vivaldi is pretty good. Henry from Techlore seems to like it. Also, while it is proprietary, the source code is available to view, audit, and compile.
