Or Battlestar Galactica. Create a new species, make them humanoid, make them sentient, and then treat them like shit. Great.

But why? If you don’t need moving parts, don’t use moving parts. Simplicity is king.

LP is probably very audit-friendly … (in regards to its stored data).

Well, welcome to society, which consists of different types of personalities all mixed together. You want to stress-out everyone else too. That isn’t better. There is no one-size-fits-all solution. As others said: the solution is to have individual exemptions, not preventing everyone from get-togethers in the first place.

Edit: btw. not even “introvert” is a good-enough category. I am also introvert and am completely depleted of energy after a day in the office or a team event. But I still enjoy it. You need to force me to attend, but afterwards I am typically glad I did.

I’ve worked in many projects where I met people only over phone and WebEx or similar. It was always pretty “dry” and tensions rose quickly whenever shit on one end hit the fan. Typically after just one personal meeting (kick-off, war-room, whatever) that changed completely. You start to joke together, you let your guard down more easily. You talk differently, even on the phone and in virtual meetings then.

I also often enough witnessed people bitch at each other over some formulation in a pull request or a comment in a chat room. In person they completely behaved differently and were able to talk it through.

Not everyone ticks the same, but in a large team you can be sure to have at least some people who have an easier time reading body language than hearing nuances in a voice filtered through a microphone. And for these people it’s then less stressful to work stuff out in person.

A few social events make sense. Working completely anonymously doesn’t work IMO. Meeting someone in person is completely different from seeing them on a screen.

Interesting take. I guess I need to check for more details if Brave hides these infos or not. Thanks for that hint!

… or just use the built-in feature of my browser and don’t require running another software?

• Included TOR browsing
• Included IPFS

I hope they also add results for “kids swear”.

My password database contains a few hundred entries. Good luck memorizing that.

Enpass uses the open source library sqlcipher (which is an sqlite fork with encryption). So while Enpass as a whole is not fully open source, you can still exfiltrate your passwords with open source tools, should they ever vanish or radically change their business model. You can then use for example enpass-cli.

That gives me enough confidence to trust in Enpass, since they can’t easily hold my data hostage.

Sorry, but log files can contain any amount of PII that is absolutely unsuited to be sent over an unencrypted channel to a person/company that should not even need some details.

I sure as hell also skim over logs before I send anything out and remove anything that I don’t want to leak.

So you didn’t fully read the mails either, did you?

Sweet. I guess I will use that for a month or two and then reevaluate.

Many security experts I know consider AV software to be snake oil. I do so too. They are so complex and need so far reaching permissions to be somewhat effective, that they become the attack vector and/or a large risk factor for faulty behavior.

Add in lots of false positives and it just numbs the users to the alerts.

Nothing beats educating users and making sure the software in use isn’t braindead. For example Microsoft programs that hide file extensions by default is a far bigger security problem than a missing AV tool. Or word processors that allow embedded scripts that can perform shit outside the application. The list goes on …

Happy to help.

Replacing a python service (searxng) by one written in rust? Count me in.

I mean … that’s basically how the internet works today. And even if you don’t “run” proprietary stuff on your end, their service as a whole is still proprietary. So it seems like a pointless battle, IMO.

I would rather ensure to use a browser where I trust its sandbox to properly isolate the shit it has to run inside.

But he said “proprietary software to run”, not to “setup” or “register” or whatever.
