Technology@lemmy.world•Microsoft's GitHub bans security researcher who posted zero-day Windows exploits because company 'ruined their life' — expert claims action is vindictive and promises further retaliationEnglish

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Canada is about to end private digital conversation — Bill C-22
0·1 day agoUm, no. I am perfectly happy to use 5 MBPS Tor Hidden Services. If I didn’t want privacy, I would just use the fucking clear net because it’s so much faster than Tor.

0·2 days agoI so want to like I2P, but it’s so difficult to do so.
As an example, I set it up on my 100 MBPS fiber connection and it wanted to contribute like 300 KBPS with the automatic configuration and if I wanted to contribute more, I had to manually configure it up.
I run my own Monero node as a tor hidden service, for example, and connecting with my phone to it over tor I get 5 MBPS. I tried an I2P Monero node from a person I trust, and was getting 40 KBPS. At 5MBPS, Monero is perfectly usable. At 40 KBPS, it is totally unusable.

Technology@lemmy.world•Data centers raise nearby temperatures by up to 4 degrees in PhoenixEnglish
1·6 days agoOh, I know exactly where you’re talking about. As I said, I used to live in Southeast Minneapolis over by the U of M, but I used to work near Franklin and Nicollet. There was this pizza place I used to visit on 24th and Nicolet quite often. And there was also a place called Glamdall Donuts on like 26th and Nicolet that I used to visit pretty often.
I used to take the MetroTransit 2 bus to and from work.

0·7 days agoI do it all the time and it works fine. I designate my phone as my primary computing device and I always update my password database on that device and then synchronize it across to my computer using these things called USB flash drives

1·7 days agoI lived in southeast Minneapolis right near the U of M. I wasn’t there for the winter of 2013-2014 as I originally came in October of 2014 and lived there until 2019.

1·7 days agoI remember it got cold enough during that winter polar vortex thing that the power company was asking people to keep their homes at like 60 so that we didn’t overload the power grid and gas pressure. I want to say that was like 2016 or something when I used to live there.

92·8 days agoIn that case, could you put them in Minneapolis and run them in like January?
I used to live there, and during the winters it can get brutal. During one of those polar vortexes is the first time I ever saw an air temperature of negative 50 with a wind chill of negative 70.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Just got this popup whilst trying to open a website using archive.is
0·8 days agoI agree, and this is strictly because Google wants to kill forks like Graphene OS. Anybody who implements this is going to get their tab immediately closed on my browser and I’m never going back. I will have zero tolerance for this.

23·11 days agoThe only way I would ever even consider this is if the firmware was open source and the software to interact with it was open source and it had no direct connection to any sort of network at all and required an external device that I could turn off or on to connect to it an external network. Oh, and the hardware would need to be open source as well.

Yep, so everything here is needing Google Play services. So in other words, it’s total bullshit.

3·13 days agoIt may not be quite as friendly, but PayPal or your bank can also freeze your account at any time and nobody can freeze your Monero address at any time for any reason.
So you can pick sovereignty or convenience. With Monero you have full sovereignty, but with the banking system you have a lot more convenience.

3·13 days agoA wallet is nothing more than a piece of software that understands the Monero network and the way it works and allows you to store Monero. Look at getmonero.org for a list of recommended wallets.

14·14 days agoBuying a product is actually rather easy. You’re just presented with an address and an amount and you can copy and paste that address and amount into your wallet and click send. You are also presented with a QR code where you can scan it and a lot of websites even present a open with wallet button that you click and it will auto fill in the address and amount necessary.

131·14 days agoIt’s a donation platform that uses Monero, and therefore, even if, for some reason, they took down your page, you still could receive money.
My primary thing is trying to figure out how to live without a phone number at all. I think that it’s absolutely ridiculous that I would have to give an ID to have phone service and then them have to keep my ID for four years after disconnection. As I said in the post, that’s just a honeypot for hackers.
