  You can just ask me, I’ll tell you.

  Here are two ways to pay for things without the payment method being a direct line to you: Use cash. People will say stupid things like “I’m European and live in a surveillance state and they track the serial numbers!” Let me introduce you to something called “money laundering”. What you do is ask for change or for a big bill. You may need to be a normal person, like a customer of some sort, or a non schizophrenic shut in computer nerd if asking of some person (like a bartender getting off...

  The real question is what you’re trying to accomplish and why. That informs your choices. Privacy, security and anonymity are different things.

  You’re 100% right and I’m glad you’ve made this post. Haters will vote you down but they aren’t running the dodi cbp repack.

  Lots of stuff breaks when you block cloudflare so a better way to avoid its data collection is to use a vpn and clear your browsing data.

  Ahh, let me be clear: systemd is bad. Age verification is maybe bad. The age verification added to systemd is a field in the userdb json that the administrator can set. It’s intended to comply with California law that requires the device attest when queried. If that isn’t clear enough: it’s a plaintext field in a text document set by the administrator. If that still isn’t clear enough: the California law lets you lie and the systemd implementation is designed to accommodate that allowa...

  Worth noting that a company used extremely small models and found something like 80+% of what mythos is claimed to have found. The claimed circumstances are different, “mythos, go find exploits in open source codebases” vs “model, find a vulnerability in FreeBSD”, but there’s a subtle distinction.

  If you have a keyboard, anything that supports vi keys is one handed.

  Uhh displaycal? I think is the program. Last I looked nothing worked right in Wayland or gnome, so if either of those are in your setup it’s worth getting rid of em. You’re not gonna like my practical tip: generate a profile on Windows or mac computer and copy the profile to the linux machine. I don’t know what you’re actually trying to accomplish so if that’s not absolutely secret squirrel shit maybe lay it out but my other advice is the same as the first verse: use a mac instead of tryin...

  Usually people don’t that. The preferred solution for those mice in linux for as long as I can remember is modifier left clicking where you hold down ctrl or alt or whatever when you left click to get right or middle. The reason people don’t do long click and instead do modifiers is because it allows you to use three button inout which is what x and whatever came before it were designed for and secretly everything in a linux gui expects. If you absolutely have to have long press and cannot...

  Universities often have requirements for student computers in order to use their online or distance learning software and anti cheat/anti llm stuff. Your first step is gonna be to figure out what that is so you can choose an operating system. The most sleek, trimmed down, hackerman version of windows 10 or linux isn’t gonna cut it if you can’t do your classes on it. The next thing to accept is giving over control of your device to the university. It is often a requirement, separate but inter...

  Extant information is safer than just uploading an id (which is what the laws want). No one needs to know your birthdate or identity if your account is 18 years old. No one needs to know your birthdate or identity if you have a cc on file (you gotta be an adult to have a credit card and therefore to have credit card on file). This is the best possible solution, where there isn’t a requirement to upload a scan of a government issued id.

  You live in America and consider yourself middle class. You have been targeted by an individual before and want to feel safe and secure. Buy a gun and become licensed to carry it concealed.

  You can just make a publicly readable s3 bucket and pay a nickel if it comes down to it.
