This is the way

You are an idiot.

  1. Use a 2FA app that allows you to export encrypted backup (I use Aegis)
  2. Make an encrypted backup of your 2FA keys and store that using the 321 rule.
  3. The 321 rule is 3 copies, 2 different types of media, and 1 copy offsite.

If your 2FA backup is encrypted, you can even store it in Google Drive or wherever, ask a family member to keep a copy, it doesn't matter if the password is strong.

If you're extra scared of losing your keys then you can use something like Authy as a last resort, they make it super easy.

I work in cyber forensics and incident response, 2FA and strong passwords can prevent 99% of the shit I see.

Sorry dude, if keeping your 2fa codes safe is too much to ask then you really shouldn't be on the internet.

Using a password manager without 2fa is a recipe for disaster, you might as well just use the same password for all your accounts at that point, then you don't need the inconvenience of a password manager

No..

Banks make a ton of money from debt.

Pharma makes a ton of money treating symptoms.

Weapons cannot be sold if there are no wars to use them in.

If you actually take a minute to think about it logically you'll see where the profits come from

Edit: it's not that they're doing it intentionally to ruin our lives. But they are doing it intentionally, for profit. And the intentionality to follow the profit is what's making the standard of living worse for everyone

What is in Area 51? (self.asklemmy)
 

What are the most likely theories for what is inside Area 51. No crazy conspiracy theories, actual grounded theories that are probable or likely.

[–] darkstar 3 points 1 month ago

We could make that an acronym!

[–] darkstar 1 points 1 month ago

100% this. Your android version is way out of date, huge security risk.

I work in forensics, people don't just say it's a security risk for fun, it really is a large security risk. Try update asap if you can.

Dota, 9,000+ hours. I don't play it anymore though, toxic af

I now mostly play Path of Exile and World of Warships

[–] darkstar 2 points 1 month ago

Get out of my "sight" lol

[–] darkstar 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

My patient gaming badge has been ruined by Stalker 2 and Path of Exile 2 :(

Yup, this is actually pretty amazing

 

Not an advertisement I swear, but I honestly love language models, I specifically use Chat GPT and Gemini ALL the time.

I'm someone who loves research and learning. I always have questions on all sorts of things. Before GPT I would be googling things for hours each day, visiting forums, watching YouTube videos, etc.

Now with GPT I can ask so many questions on things I am curious about, and even ask follow up questions or ask for more in depth explanations.

I think I am also a bit ADHD and so my brain is always jumping around different topics which makes me curious on specific things. My latest is insects, specifically wasps.

I absolutely hate bugs, and wasps are the worst. But I am now learning more and more how important a lot of bugs actually are to the ecosystem. It's really a great way to learn and engage with topics when you can ask follow up questions or ask for more details on specific aspects.

TLDR: GPT has replaced 90% of my research that Google used to be.

Important Note: Please be aware language models can be innacurate and prone to mistakes, so always verify the data from other sources if you need accurate information and not just general knowledge.

 

I know it's an odd question, but where I live phones get stolen often. My phone doesn't have the option for an eSim, which is a problem because 90% of the time when a thief steals a phone they take out the SIM card immediately, meaning I wouldn't be able to remotely lock or wipe my phone.

Should I consider glueing the SIM tray shut? Or are there alternative less permanent measures I can take to keep my device secure?

As per title, I'd like to know if there are any third party apps worth it still?

I'd ideally like a web app that scrapes the shit out of Reddit causing more harm than good. Anything like that available? (Even if it's a website that scrapes I'll be happy)

 

Apollo had this feature where you scroll past a post and it automatically marks the post as read. This is huge because it allows you to easily doom scroll without seeing the same content twice :,)

 

As per title, I would love a toggle option to allow in app links to open in my default browser automatically.

 

So I'm curious with the whole Ledger seed backup controversy, are Ledger devices actually safe? Should I continue to use my Ledger? I don't have much so I'm not too concerned, but I'd like to still sleep peacefully at night regardless.

My App Icon submission (sh.itjust.works)
 

I don't have any software on my phone to round corners so please excuse the square.

The fediverse is a vast and beautiful place, just like our universe. I think our app icon should go deeper and represent more than just a simple spaceship or a mouse.

As the title says, I'd like to know where I can get updates from the Anonymous group. Do they have any channels for announcements or is their an opinion site I can go to?

Edit: I know some news outlets have pages specifically for Anonymous but I'd like to try get updates from the source

 

As the title says, I'd love to view mobile data usage for wefwef specifically. Is there a way to do this? I've installed it as an app, ie added to Home Screen.

What is gorbitaska? (self.asklemmy)
 

I read a post about it but the post was deleted and I can't find anything on google. What I gathered from the post before deletion was its some kind of religious thing but it scares most people?
