I do something similar, but I guess scorched earth edition:

• Only use firefox, no chrome or chromium variants

• Never signed in to my google account (only have it to keep a gmail forward going for old ass subscriptions)

• Have firefox configured to only keep whitelisted sites’ cookies and data between restarts - google is not on that list

• uBlock Origin

The last several months I started seeing that youtube screen “enable history to see recommendations” blank page when first landing, as if it was a punishment to me. It’s not. I remember all the channels I like, and it’s easy enough to keep checking back. So that blank screen is actually a nice bonus to me.

Ten pills once is chump change

When I was a patient at the VA pain clinic for a couple years, I could fart ten pills on any given day.

Lighten up, Francis.

before tomorrow morning?

DoD contractor: Sure can, but it will cost you huge.

(Lies about the former, 100% accurate on the latter.)

jumping won’t impress her

Unless it’s jump humping.

As soon as I read this I read the rest of your comment in Al Gore’s voice, ca 2k SNL, lol.

ITT I wish those that can recall would name and shame.

valuable

Till he’s not, or worse, becomes a liability.

Once he’s washed up there, would be funny if they extradited him back to the US. Double whammy if he ever makes it back.

It’s a vehicle for trump to accept foreign money, that’s how.

*Quick Stop Groceries, with two drug dealers standing out front.

Was the transition into management easy for you, or was it a slow acceptance?

Funny thing I’ve been driving for 30+ years, and have never had a formal driving test:

• Permit at 15: No tests, only restriction was to have a licensed passenger in-vehicle

• License at 16: Had driver’s ed in school, state’s driving test waved, and license transferred to other states without any new driving test

• Motorcycle license: Took a safety course while in the military, state added endorsement without any test, which also transferred out-of-state

• Heavy vehicles: Trained on military 5-ton/deuce+0.5/Frontloaders/HMMWVs - all kinds of heavy equipment - no formal tests, only unit sign-off (even on civilian roads)

• The kicker: I now live in a US state where a driver license is good with no re-testing till age 64

Gonna suck when I actually do have to take a test. Hopefully there will be sane infra to go completely driverless by the time I get that old.

Turns out dope.af is redirecting to andy.is, til.

lol, no - just curious what town/city, or even just state/country. The vegetation, river walls, and architecture all seem so unfamiliar to me. I’m just not sure where this might be (Greece? would be my guess)

Where’s that at?

If your grandmother dies at age 102, Fox news would blame it on immigrants, somehow.

It’s NBC news, the same org that tried to hire and retain the former RNC fucking chair as a political commentator.

Fuck NBC.

“We regret what happened, it shouldn’t have happened,” Pangemanan said, insisting the soldiers’ actions were rogue, and not representative of the Indonesian military.

Plot twist: What he regrets having happened is those troops getting caught, not what hey did. The “rogue actions” were them taking personal cell phone videos and retaining them, making it easier to get caught and less easily denied.

Doesn’t it require a separate process to be using the cryptographic algorithm in the first place in order to fill the cache in question?

Yes, that’s my understanding. I haven’t looked at the code, but their high level explanation sounds like their app is making calls to an API which could result in the under-the-hood crypto “service” pulling the keys into the cache, and there’s an element of luck to whether they snag portions of the keys at that exact moment. So it seems like the crafted app doesn’t have the ability to manipulate the crypto service directly, which makes sense if this is only a user-land app without root privileges.

why wouldn’t the app just steal your password and avoid all of this in the first place?

I believe it would be due to the app not having root privileges, and so being constrained with going through layers of abstraction to get its crypto needs met. I do not know the exact software architecture of iOS/macOS, but I guarantee there’s a notion of needing to call an API for these types things. For instance, if your app needs to push/pull an object it owns in/out of iCloud, you’d call the API with a number of arguments to do so. You would not have the ability to access keys directly and perform the encrypt/decrypt all by yourself. Likewise with any passwords, you would likely instead make an API call and the backing code/service would have that isolated/controlled access.
