Thoughts on Guard.io as a service for lesser tech savvy family members?

Hi there, So just watched latest video of Jim Browning and in the video he had a sponsor I had not heard about before, Guard.io. So I went to check it out, and it seems like a fairly decent service (by that I mean, a service I would put on family members devices) for helping against possible phishing attempt and general...

headroom,

Is it necessary, compared to the measures I mentioned above?

That product is trash but how is what you’re doing helping with phishing?

headroom,

Ye mullvad uses their blocklists but does not provide the features mostly listed in the security tab. I still don’t get how dot and doh are relevant with phishing.

headroom,

There isn’t much of a discussion because there are like 3 acceptable alternatives. Nord isn’t one of them btw.

headroom,

there is already many resources on the topic

headroom,

I literally said the opposite. Please stop pinging me with your brain-dead bullshit. Thanks.

headroom,

I bursted into laugjter when he started pulling out an actual arsenal of weapons. It was very unexpected.

headroom,

Why are there so many people using Linux for work. Are you using your personal machines for work? If so why? Or do your company allow installing whatever OS you want on the work machine?

headroom,

Yep. Windows or Mac. Typical corporate IT spyware isn’t even available on Linux.

headroom,

If they’re going to force me to use Windows or Mac, I’d much rather Windows than Mac. Piece of shit of an “operating system”.

You may be offered a free premium Telegram subscription – but please don’t accept (archive.is)

Telegram is giving away FREE Premium subscriptions! All they need from you is to use your cell phone as a relay to text out their OTP codes! And the recipient of the OTP sees your phone number! What could POSSIBLY go wrong with this deal?...

People in the privacy community need to get over the unrealistic dream that regular people will adopt Matrix when we can’t even get them to use Signal. The only way Matrix will have mass adoption is through getting a lot of corporate clients. Then the workers might choose to use it personally too after being familiar with it.

Finally deleted my LinkedIn account!

After putting my account into "hibernation" for the past few weeks, I finally closed it. But I'm still looking for work. Thankfully I can still find positions (SRE and software dev) by just going directly to the company's site and finding a Jobs page.

Good luck to everyone else out there looking for work!

headroom,

I keep LinkedIn telling myself it’s necessary to find a job but I don’t think I’ve ever gotten a job from LinkedIn, now that I think about it.

Are there any CPUs that work well with Linux that aren't made by Intel or another company on the BDS list/that supports Israel?

I have a Ryzen 3 1300X at the moment and it’s always had this soft lock freezing bug on Linux. I used to dual-boot Windows on this machine and Windows never had the same problem, so I think it is an issue with the Linux kernel (I’ve also replaced nearly every bit of hardware that I originally built the PC with, except for...

headroom,

Can you go and buy an ARM CPU and build a desktop system with it?

headroom,

My experience with Nvidia had been mostly seamless (although, laptops could be performing worse) up until recently when everything started bursting into flames. Electron applications are nuts, steam store doesn’t even render, multiple game broke down fully. I can’t even find any other use reports.

headroom, (edited )

I can only speak for the desktop, not laptops, when I say it works perfectly on Gnome and KDE and even Hyprland which doesn’t even officially support Nvidia hardware. That said, for the first time in two years I started having big issues with a few games (though, I don’t play a large number of games so take this with a grain of salt). Right now, I have an xorg session on the side to play those games. Although, I’m starting to notice it’s missing some things from Wayland that I’ve gotten accustomed to.

Wayland is expected to get much, much better when the 555 drivers drop explicit support in May and when proton enables the wine wayland drivers.

headroom,

I though wine merged their wayland drivers?

headroom,

I should check that out. Can you just stream any application to your phone?

headroom,

I don’t think you will ever be able to use Wayland on Nvidia without enabling modesetting which sounds like you haven’t.

headroom,

I don’t get people claiming stock iPhone is private. We literally have very little idea. It’s a closed system. It’s private if you take Apple’s word but all the other manufacturers also have similar claims. Why trust Apple and not them?

On top of that you end up locked into their ecosystem, unable to use most FOSS applications or have cut down versions of them because daddy Apple didn’t like some features.

headroom,

Yes iPhones are secure but not private. The two are related but different concepts. I’m not sure what exactly your friend is referring to though.

headroom,

Are there any benefits to using LibreWolf if I’m alrrady using Arkenfox?

headroom,

Do you need to externally encrypt the data or at least you the password field when syncing with syncthing? I mean, the traffic is encrypted already but still doesn’t feel right.

headroom,

Don’t use a VPN.

headroom,

The only purpose of vpns is to hide your ip address, which is already dynamic and is shared by many people or access location restricted content.
