True. That was a CVE 10 vulnerability. But unless you are going to airgap your system, I think using these ubiquitous libraries is as good as we can get to being safe.

I think that’s covered by “Don’t trust other companies”. You just need a business internet line with a static IP to host your own stuff in your house.

Store your own shit on your own Linux server. Don’t trust other companies. Use industry standard libraries like OpenSSH, LUKS.

Welcome to my blocklist, asshole.

The whole system is broken. Putting a financial incentive in front of the review process is not going to fix that.

this is the way

This kind of idea has been floating around for a while but it takes a really smart person a decent amount of time to get a proof of concept off the ground that will excite other people and create momentum.

Your idea is a little nieve and could be accomplished in much more efficient ways using things like hashes and checksums. A new p2p protocol would need to be developed for the use case of real time messaging and historical message histories.

There are already some concept peer to peer messaging apps that use wireless to create mesh networks for the scenario of total internet or power collapse.

All creatures, including humans, possess instinctual knowledge. This is stuff we are born with. For instance: fear of snakes, or estinating how much protein is in our food by taste. Some of our instinctual knowledge is about mate selection since procreation is a very important goal for a species. We use our nose to detect if others are a good immune system match, and we use our eyes to see if they are sick or unhealthy and also assess their ability to nurture children. That last part is where the boobs come in. They make breast milk and so they are a feature that gives pleasure to see. There is no choice about it. We like what we like because of our genetic programming.

Let me tell you about borrow return policy at libraries and the associated fines for late returns and how to find something using the dewey decimal classification system. Fun times!

I’ve been using duck duck for the last 2 years and it’s fine if you don’t need localized results. If I’m searching for x thing in y area then I go back to Google for that.

They would have to choose between their mobile phones and electronic warfare protection systems that could possibly stop a drone. Add some security guards and you have some locked down unhappy rich people, which makes me happy.

True and besides that, they might just have bugs or inaccuracies that could make them think their owner is a target. Humans are much safer for now.

At least in most democratic countries you can’t just bribe the politicians legally. That helps a lot.

This is exactly how I have always thought about it too. Pure greed. My father ran a company for 35 years and for 3 of those years he took either no payout or a very small payout so that he didn’t have to let anyone go. I asked him why he didn’t just downsize and he said that other people needed the money more than us. That’s how shit needs to be run. People centric not profit driven.

Combined age? Combined age. COMBINED AGE!

I’m surprised that drone assassinations are not more common. Strap a home made explody thing on a cheap FPV drone with a cheap servo release and you can take out anyone from the safety of a random parking lot or hotel room.
