European Medicines Agency (EMA), the leading certification body for #covid vaccine in EU has been hacked and some of email and registration documents stolen and then leaked on darknets but, most importantly, they were *modified* prior to publication "in a way which could undermine trust in vaccines".
This is interesting, because if you're into business espionage, you don't leak your trophies. In this case the objective seems to be boosting existing anti-vax paranoias.

Wow just discovered that it's #zfs scrub on my 3 HDD array that heats my CPU to 85°C which results in a hard thermal shutdown from BIOS (previously unexplained).
The solution: lm-sensors & zpool scrub in an ugly script which periodically checks temp, pauses scrub before it hits 85 and restarts after a few mins wait to cool down.
If my son asks me "what you do as an infosec engineer" what do I say? 🤦♂️ 😂

@fribbledom That's how they make sure old people get the vaccine first. They sign up on paper, while young ones try online 😅

So services will either not serve Poland at all, or else will need a capability of inhibiting access to content on a per-country level (which means identifying the country from which a user is visiting the service)?
A good way of entrenching the richest companies.

An interesting wiretapping implant found in an iPhone of a Russian opposition activist. Equipped with an independent SIM and GPS tracker, it was discovered because whoever installed it also broke speaker and FaceId.

Just found a great #NHS resource where they critically comment on popular #health related news stories about supplements, alternative therapies etc. Most of these stories are click-baits that get the #statistics completely wrong even if the underlying research was perfectly sound.

@GNUxeava Someone once proved phone numbers used for 2FA could be used to target ads at people.

Normie: "Facebook is stealing my data through WhatsApp!"
Me: "How about you switch to a decentralized alternative?"
Normie: "Fuck that! I'll just make a mock account on Facebook!"
Me: "That won't do anything. They'll still know who you are through your phone"
Normie: "Then I will make a WhatsApp mockup account! They won't know it's me!"
Me: "Oh, really? Will you also provide a fake, probably stolen phone number too? Will you use a proxy, TOR, I2P, or at least a VPN to hide your IP address? Will you also route your DNS queries through TOR or at least a safe enough DNS server over HTTPS? Will you also root your device and spoof your MAC address, as well as your IMEI, phone brand, model, serial number, OS version, AND your WLAN SSID? Will also ALL of your contacts do the exact same thing, so that they don't know who is who and who is contacting who? Will you at least give a fake name?"

switch to activitypub!
twitter = pleroma, mastodon, gnu social
instagram = pixelfed
facebook = friendica
tumblr = writefreely
youtube, twitch = peertube
There's actually upcoming #markdown specification, and it's much more useful as a cheat-sheet than any other documents I've seen so far:
Years ago on some Polish forum someone posted a rather unpolished but extremely funny story of his life that started "my old man is fishing fanatic".
Apparently now someone made a whole movie of it, and it's actually quite good - on top of the tragicomic story of fishing you get a typical 90's Polish mass housing scenery.
And it's on Netflix, so comes with English subtitles.

Wolność w sieci | Mój debianoid
Rzygam już tą burzą wokół zablokowania kont społecznościowych Trumpa i innych prawoskrętnych ścierwojadów. Cała “afera” ma kompletnie żenujące podłoże i przede wszystkim mówi nam o jednym: polityczne świnie maści wszelakiej, dziennikarze i tzw. “opinia publiczna”, to koszmarnie tępa masa idiotów, która nie ma zielonego pojęcia, o czym mówi.

Ej dobra, ten Activity Pub ma dużo sensu, ktoś wrzuca coś na PeerTube i od razu mi się to wyświetla tutaj. Może się tym dalej będę bawił.
