The Lust series is pretty good. It’s a horror game similar to Amnesia or Penumbra, except you’re infiltrating a sex cult.

edit: … and yes, after I bought these, steam has bombarded me with the most ridiculous erotic game suggestions for months!

Sure. Let’s protect the proper culture. Like Fast and Furious 10, or the 60th marvel superhero movie rehash :P

Gmail offers imap amd smtp access. You have to enable 2FA, and then it will allow you to create account for so called “less secure apps”.

In your place, I’d either continue using gmail directly, or finish the configuration of the self hosted mail server and just use that with any smtp/imap client. I suggest getting a separate domain for testing first, before moving your primary inbox there.

you still need good security configuration of the exposed service.

In a sense that security comes in layers, yes. But in practice, this setup will prevent 100% of bots scanning the internet for exposed services, and absolute majority of possible targeted attacks as well. It’s like using any other 3rd party VPN, except there’s not a central point for the traffic to flow through.

From the attackers point of view, nothing is listening there.

I’ve used a similar setup in the past to access a device behind a NAT (possibly multiple NATs) and a dynamic IPv4. Looking back, that ISP was a pure nightmare.

This is not a guide to hide from the government or ISP. Just a way to tunnel to your home server without publishing the sshd for random strangers. Personally, I’d just publish the ssh and be done with it.

I would rather live without the correlation attacks

The more people using Tor, the less useful targeted disconnects become.

Which is still just as open, but also a massive calling card for anyone trolling around the TOR network

Luckily, it is no longer possible to easily sniff the new v3 addresses by deploying a malicious relay. Any attack to even reveal the existence of a hidden service would require a very specialized setup. And we’re just talking discovery, not the ability to connect and attack the actual service running there.

just connecting to Tor is very much a huge exposure imho

Exposure of what, to whom?

It’s not about what they do, it’s about what people think they do! :D

Must be nice to see them go up-close. I must add that to my bucket list.

rest of it reads like a copy-paste about the dangers of 5G cell towers

I was just about to say boo-hoo, a dog gone bald, but 85 decibels measured from outside your window is brutal. There’s a reason these farms are mostly built in the middle of the desert, on the oil fields, or near a dam, with no residential housing nearby.

Yeah, every medical emergency in town will be blamed on Mara from now on, but I’m not even mad. They’ve got themselves into this mess. For those who don’t know, they’ve built their entire marketing on being compliant with regulations :D

The whole thing is awfully similar to the wind turbine controversy. The reasonable people spend years assuring the public that the windmills are not going to kill them, and then somebody comes up and says “Great! We’re gonna build our windfarm right next to these houses”.

Government is better at X… because it can steal stuff. Yay for the government, I guess… :D

Of course security comes with layers, and if you’re not comfortable hosting services publically, use a VPN.

However, 3 simple rules go a long way:

1. Treat any machine or service on a local network as if they were publically accesible. That will prevent you from accidentally leaving the auth off, or leaving the weak/default passwords in place.

2. Install services in a way that they are easy to patch. For example, prefer phpmyadmin from debian repo instead of just copy pasting the latest official release in the www folder. If you absolutely need the latest release, try a container maintained by a reasonable adult. (No offense to the handful of kids I’ve known providing a solid code, knowledge and bugreports for the general public!)

3. Use unattended-upgrades, or an alternative auto update mechanism on rhel based distros, if you don’t want to become a fulltime sysadmin. The increased security is absolutely worth the very occasional breakage.

4. You and your hardware are your worst enemies. There are tons of giudes on what a proper backup should look like, but don’t let that discourage you. Some backup is always better than NO backup. Even if it’s just a copy of critical files on an external usb drive. You can always go crazy later, and use snapshotting abilities of your filesystem (btrfs, zfs), build a separate backupserver, move it to a different physical location… sky really is the limit here.

I get the feeling that the US copyright is largely being operated on a pinky swear basis. For example - the current copyright on the original Bitcoin whitepaper is held by a well known con artist, simply because he was the first to register it.

I do love lego. Some things just feel wrong, though.

They took something I love, and made it into… no. Let me rephrase…

During the communist party reign, the artists producing undesirable art often ended up slaving in uranium mines. I think it’s time to revisit this tradition.

Aren’t smart watches almost universally bricked by default unless you undergo an online activation, sharing all kinds of personal information?

I’m stuck on miband 3, since it’s the last model sold unlocked.

I also feel like we don’t need to have more beautiful games than Last of Us 2

Remember when FarCry was released, and people were compairing the ingame screenshots with real photos? We all thought “Man, this is it. It can’t get any better than this”.

It’s frustrating, depressing and time consuming lifestyle.

Plug-in systems are built around a microinverter that feeds solar energy back into the home via a standard wall jack.

What the actual fuck?

The PowerStream has three proprietary ports: one that connects to your MC4 solar panels

Almost every paragraph is it’s own, self-sufficient, malignant cancer. How did this even get published?
