Speaking as a soulseek user, be careful. You are now manually deciding what users you will accept data from with only the validation and security your computer or you yourself provide. It is incredibly easy to look up desirable rare recordings and create believable dummy files with a payload.

Full disclaimer: I been using daita since its introduction and that’s generally good advice.
It’s important to recognize though that to do more than just dodge the work WiFi pornhub block you gotta be thinking about your own physical security the same way. We are recorded by hundreds if not thousands of cameras every day and the ones not controlled by the state are controlled by business owners who cooperate with them.
At the very least, polarized license plate covers (where legal) and sunglasses/mask.

If you don’t like that software then fish a bill out of the trash can and write your list on that with a pen stolen from the bank or the bar round the corner.
You get takedown notices because automated systems, or at worst the rights holders legal team, recognize the content.
If there’s some form of authentication in front of the content then the automated systems and lawyers don’t see it and can’t file takedown notices.
The hosting provider isn’t gonna be shuffling through all your files to see if one of them is elisa from frozen. They have enough on their plate to begin with.
If you’re using some kind of easy style make a website bullshit like square space then they might be shuffling through your files to see if one of them is elisa from frozen. The best way to avoid that is not to use anything like that and just write your site with some kind of program or by hand.
If you don’t plan on authenticating users somehow then you need to use a service that doesn’t respect copyright. If you authenticate users then you can use whatever (comedy option: tiny vps with vpn cdn backend.
There’s a lot of funny responses in this thread. What you change in your life depends on what you do now and how you expect to be targeted.
If you’re a normal person, my advice is always to speak less and recognize your surroundings. Recognize that the internet is a social media advertising platform.
I use air for torrents and mullvad (with their doh and https proxy) for everything else. Air came out to like ~$2-3 a month on a three year sub and mullvad is a flat $5 a month. Air goes through a gift card that’s not really anonymous but it doesn’t matter. Mullvad gets send a hundred dollar bill in an envelope with a number about every year or so.
Okay, so you got pots and pans and ten bucks every once in a while.
Don’t worry about that big reply I made, we’re going smaller.
Instead you’re just gonna focus on one recipe, the hoppin John. Beans and rice are incredibly cost effective and by varying the specific beans and grains you can use that rough outline of a recipe to make dozens of different dishes.
Same ingredients, but this time you’re buying smaller amounts so you can afford to spend more on greens and other vegetables.
$2 - 2lbs white rice
$2 - 2 lbs dried beans
$6 - vegitables
Vegetables is a crazy item, but you might get like an onion or two, a bulb of garlic, a jalapeño pepper, whatever greens are cheap and a half pound of mushrooms that are on special.
Cook the beans like I said before, but reserve all the leftover liquid and use it to cook the rice and make a simmering sauce for the veggies. You’ll have about three quarts of beans and about as much rice, but cook that 1 cup at a time (makes about a quart, 1 cup dry rice to 2 1/2 cups water) so you don’t have stale old cooked rice hanging out. Maybe a quart and a half of vegetable mix when it’s all done.
Make sure to season your beans after they’re done with salt and pepper and put salt and pepper in the water for your rice.
The technique with making a little topping for your beans and rice is knowing what takes the longest to cook. I always go mushrooms -> onions -> root veggies -> garlic/aromatics -> greens and pull it when the greens look like they’re really “popping” with color. For long sautees like this make sure you salt “through” by adding a little bit with each ingredient and any other spices you want to use.
Tase the food you’re making as you go so you don’t end up accidentally over seasoning.
When you make a bowl go ahead and put a dab of sauce from the sauce packet drawer on top.
Thats about six thousand calories worth of food. You can use different beans and different grains like grits or oatmeal or whatever too, so if you end up with ten more bucks before you run out you can use the same buying process to stock up on more staples and vary your goop scoop up.
E: I did my math wrong af, it’s about 12000 calories.
If you give me the amount you can spend now and a budget per week I can do better.
~$83. not as bad as it could be but still fucking brutal. a lot of this is amounts you’ll use throughout the month as well though, and nothing is insanely perishable so it’s no serious loss if you can tolerate spending that amount to get up and cooking.
grocery list

$4 gallon milk
$1 bread. wal mart has a bakery usually and the french bread is a buck.

meal plan, recipies and prep instructions
We’re opening up with something simple, you just need a big bowl, whisk or fork and oven safe dish (cast iron pan):
Cornbread
basically follow the instructions on your bag of self rising corn meal mix. it’s all some variation of 2 cups mix, 1 egg, 1 1/2 cup milk and 1/4 cup vegetable oil. before you start in on it go ahead and preheat the oven to 350 or 400 or whatever your bag says and put your oiled up pan in there to get hot. whisk all your ingredients together in your bowl until its smooth (if you wanna be fancy about it, start with the egg, get it completely scrambled up then mix together the wet ingredients with it and add the mix last) then pull out the hot pan and pour your batter in. return it to the hot oven and it’s done when a toothpick comes out from the center clean of goop, about 20-30 minutes.
make up some eggs and toast to have with a wedge of cornbread when it comes out. that’s a quick breakfast for the week and you only had to do a few minutes of prep for your cornbread. put stuff on the eggs and toast or cook them different ways to keep from getting bored, although it’s hard to get bored of eggs. just try em with salt and pepper or cheese and whatever else you have on hand.
A Coffee Drink
make some coffee, when it’s done take a cup or two and combine it with the same amount of sugar and mix it until you got a coffee simple syrup. mix coffee, coffee simple syrup and milk to make the drink you like to stop and get on the way to work. just play with it until you got what you want.
Next is an easy lunch that takes a little prep to get ready but will work for the whole week:
Hoppin’ John
it’s just beans and rice with stuff in it. make the beans first, soak 2lbs of em overnight, dump out the soak water, boil em until tender then containerize them. save a quart or so of the bean water to make rice with. If you get an instant pot you can avoid the soak and just toss 2lbs of dried beans in with water to the fill line, set it for an hour or so and press start. once the beans are done, look up a video on how to dice an onion and throw a couple diced onions in there while the beans are still hot. go ahead and salt to taste too. it’ll take a decent amount. save the onion skins and butts in a old bread bag in your freezer.
make your rice in a pot. just rinse off two cups of rice, add it to the pot with a little oil or something and stir it with a fork to get some on all the grains. add 4 1/2 -5 cups of water, a couple of teaspoons of salt, bring it to a boil then stir it up good, cover and drop it down to low heat and wait for it to be done.
fry up your bacon ends and while it’s going, separate the stems of your greens until you have what feels like too much greens. put the stems in your freezer bag and chop the leaves into ~1" squares by just bunching them up and going wild. watch your fingers. when the bacon ends are almost done, toss the chopped greens in and cover the pan. it’ll only take a minute or two but you’ll know when they’re good and done because they’ll turn “greener”.
make a serving of rice, beans, bacon and greens with whatever else you might have, leftover salsa, just whatever’s in the fridge.
you’ll have plenty of meals from this one.
Whenever you run out of rice just make more.
For a snack you’re gonna have carrot sticks and peanut sauce
Celery and Carrot Sticks with Peanut Sauce
take the ends off some carrots and celery, peel the carrots, wash the celery and put the ends and peels in your freezer bag. slice the carrots and celery so they’re around twice the length of your pinky finger and about as big around. store em covered with water in some container. make peanut sauce with a fried diced onion, finely diced jalapenio, minced garlic clove or two (add garlic last in the pan), a half cup or so of peanut butter and equal parts coconut milk. use your littlest pot and brown the onions, jalapenio and when everything else looks almost done, garlic. add peanut butter, mix it up on the lowest of low heat and add as much coconut milk as you did peanut butter. add more to get the texture right. it’ll be real runny when hot but much thicker when cool. i usually have to add another 1/4 cup of coconut oil to get the texture right.
Dinner/portable lunch is very not vegan but it makes a ton of food and is versatile.
Creamy Chicken Burritos
This is a lot of work but it makes a ton of portable high protien food.
start by defrosting your chicken the night before and cooking it off after it’s completely defrosted. baking is fine. just hit 165f or until the juices run clear to avoid salmonella. while all that’s happening go ahead and chop up a bunch of carrots, celery, onions and garlic and pan fry em until they’re tender. use vegetable oil or butter and remember to salt. If you have some greens left do like before with the hoppin john and cut em up into pieces and add at the end of the fry. put all the skins , stems and ends in your freezer bag. pull your chicken and let it come down to handling temperature and debone all those leg quarters. this may end up being what radicalizes you to veganism. put your skin, ligaments, werid crap and bones in the freezer bag. chop up the chicken into little pieces and set it aside. if you have a stick blender, hit the choipotles in adobo with it, otherwise just mince em up real small and put them in your biggest bowl with the cream cheese, cottage cheese and about two fists wirth of the other cheese grated. mix this by hand to get a good consistency. a food processor or blender could be nice here if you have one.
add the cooked vegetables and chicken to the bowl and mix it up. contain a few quarts of this mix to add to stuff later, then dump a bunch of beans and rice into it and mix it up more. add plenty of salt and pepper to taste and if it’s not spicy enough consider adding another can of chipotles in adobo. look up a video on how to roll a burrito and then brown the burrito on all four sides so it sticks together. repeat until you run out of mix or wrappers. cover the burritos with aluminum foil and freeze/refrigerate them.
the cheeses and chipotles are what makes this the way it is, aside from onions, garlic, beans and rice, you can just wing it and add whatever you like.
sunday dinner is gonna be soup but you’re gonna make stock first
Make stock by taking all the crap in your freezer bag, dumping it into a pot, adding water to cover then bringing it to a boil and letting it simmer for two or three hours. strain out all the crap and skim any foam that forms on top and contain your delicious homemade stock.
i’m tired of typing out recipes. go download the Good and Cheap pdf and make the curried squash soup in that cookbook. use your newly made stock in place of however many cups of water it calls for.
serve it with a big ol chunk of toasted bread.
things you may need to buy
a cheap chefs knife - $5-10: don’t overthink it, just get something on sale. look up how to hold it with the “pinch grip” and be aware that cheap knives can be a little fishy when they’re new and sharp so keep your head on and other hand crabbed when using it.
a stick blender - $20 or so: again, don’t overthink it, just get whatever and use it. cheaper ones have attachments that fill up with water in the dishwasher so it may end up being hand wash only.
a thermometer - $5 or so: get instant read, it’s great.
a 10-12" cast iron pan - $10 or so: go to the goodwill and get one that doesn’t have any cracks. you’ll know it doesn’t have any cracks because there won’t be any cracks on it. it’s okay if the surface is crap, you can fix that. now you have a good pan to use on an electric stove and bake things in.
a coffee maker - $5 or so: pick this up at the goodwill too. get the simplest one possible. remember to get filters, they’re like a buck.
Maybe later:
instant pot - $80 or so: it makes stock and beans set it and forget it. save your pennies and get the max version with More Power
this list and meal plan will make you much, much more than a weeks worth of food, and starting from zero you’ll have plenty of ingredients left over to fuck with next week.
If you don’t just eat leftovers from this meal plan for the week after, you’ll only need to spend 10-15 bucks to make for that week.
I don’t think huawei will open source. They aren’t stupid and are without a doubt seeing the amount of scrutiny applied to open source projects and maintainers by cops, private security consultants and just plain old criminals and deciding to not get in the pool.
It is while logged in to icloud for sure because it’s trying to find the private relay server.
Make them defederate so they can remain Nazis. The only reason to cut contact should be to protect users and in the words of the bard: “cyber bullying isn’t real!”
There’s… a lot more information needed to make real recommendations. I can get away with $30 a week for two people because we have a relatively well equipped kitchen, a decent pantry and enough time to prepare meals for the week.
So what’s your kitchen like, what kind of stuff do you already have, what kind of time can you commit and what dietary restrictions do you have?
E: I gotta ask all that bullshit because if all you got is a plug in kettle and a worlds greatest dad mug then your options are significantly different than when your kitchen looks like some shit from the about the author section of a cookbook. If you’re lactose intolerant or vegan then you’re gonna end up buying different shit than I do. If you don’t have any time to prepare meals or anything to store em in then you gotta do it different than a lot of people. If you’re building a pantry from scratch then you’re gonna have at least ten bucks a week of buying a giant ass bag of something that will keep.
Oh yeah, and what’s around you? Having a Asian or Mexican store is different than having a grocery store (and the iga is different than the Walmart) is different than being stuck with dollar general or whatever.
This is all literally true (except that the toolkit isn’t proprietary any more) but the alternative is gnome so it doesn’t really matter.
It looks bad. The accessibility options will allow you to turn it off, just like previous versions. If you want to get a little more snappiness out of your old model, turn off all that stuff in accessibility and be amazed.
What’s more interesting is jumping uhh eight major versions to have all operating systems use the same version number as the year they came out and having unified apis.
It makes the support window more predictable for people who don’t know about that kind of thing and most likely means there’s been enough work under the hood of macos to get it to where ios is security wise.
They also said 26/tahoe will be the last one to support intel. That means those 2018s are gonna end up with ~10 years of support. I thought they’d be quick to drop like the old 2011 15” models.
If you want to get into the mac game cheap, there’s never been a better time to get an m1. It’s guaranteed three year support window (likely more) on a ~$200 arm64 laptop and then asahi after that. The m1s support rosetta 2 so they can run x86 applications as well.
They will unlock your phone if you don’t have a passcode and will look through it. If you do have a passcode they will ask you to unlock it so they can look through it and deny you entry if you don’t.
If there are social media accounts with your name on them they will ask you to log into them so they can look through em and deny you entry if you refuse.
This all presupposes that your phone and it’s os are hardened against cellebrite, which if you’re running older android devices or really android devices in general is not the case.
Your best bet is to cancel your phone plan and make a backup of your phone then walk through with a blank phone (“I heard the cell towers are different so I’m gonna go to Verizon to get this one turned on”) and restore the backup and set up a plan after you’re in.
Assuming you have the technical ability to do this, access to the technology required, and the competence under questioning to avoid getting jammed up.
The dumb guy method is to just not walk a phone through. They can’t look at your device if you don’t have it with you.
Users of the automated arr torrent and usenet stack have been complaining about malicious fake releases on public trackers which hit before the content street date and contain esoteric archive files that can run a program upon unpacking for maybe the last month or so.
The files are automatically downloaded by the users software because they match the users profile for that movie or series.
The users are mad that the devs told them to stop using trackers that distribute malware rather than the devs agreeing to implement filtering.
The only reason old archive formats are being deployed in that attack is because most antimalware doesn’t pay attention to them. Almost every modern archive format can at least open a link when processed but even the software that the users os calls to perform the operation has some kind of interlink built in to prevent that from happening without user awareness.
So there are currently malware crews actively and successfully targeting piracy networks and software.
Many years ago, one vector for mp3s other than extension-fu was embedding clickable links in the id3 data so that when displayed in Winamps playlist a user would accidentally or inquisitively make contact with some server. I first encountered this on soulseek.
There are also circumstances where extension-fu isn’t required. You can test this out on your own system by making a copy of some standalone program and renaming it with a wrong extension (say, .mp3 for instance!) then trying to open it.
