AP posted:All the other ships are concept art, the game he's playing is in his head and he can't even get the name of one of the two ships that actually exist in the "game" correct. It's all amazing to me. With SC, most of the gameplay is in your head, so it's not too hard to get confused. Apart from streamers, I bet 98% of the backers haven't the existing missions more than once.

I don't read his missives, but if I were Derek and OSC is doing such a good job of owning citizens; I would want them to think I was him... Besides who cares what they think other than for what humor can be extracted. And them thinking up a vast conspiracy where everyone who speaks the obvious truth about SC is Derek is more humorous than not.

AlmightyPants posted:I live just outside NYC, I don't have a reddit account to contact OSC but I'd be happy to hop on the train and verify that he's not Derek. I don't know how to confirm that verification to the internet though. I'd assume the shitizens would need some extraordinary evidence to prove that OSC isn't Derek? That would be a toughie. OSC has a security clearance, so you probably can't waltz into his place of work. If you take a photo with the guy, it could have been any rando you found in Starbucks. About the only thing I can think of is making a video recording of he and Derek on a Facetime call, having an extemporaneous conversation. I think that's something many people would pay to see anyway.

You're identifiable by being a conspicuous absence, among other things. The real scary thing is that no matter how strict you are with your privacy, all it takes is a less strict friend to kill your privacy dead.

I hooked up with a girl from tinder, we have no friends in common. The day after she came up as a "do you know this person" on facebook. Is it safe to assume it's because she cyber stalked me on there?

XK posted:Nope. I have a Google account under an assumed name, that's the best there is on me. I never use the same name twice, anywhere, except for where I have to order things to be shipped to my house. Yes. There is no real anonymity anymore, Tracking takes place pretty much everywhere. You can redirect various domains to 127.0.01 using hosts files (or your own DNS server), but the companies are using aggregation services that allow for the various companies to link up the data in the backend. By the time the EU clamped down on cookies, we'd already moved to different tracking techniques. One of the earliest was facebook's button, that was an iframe that would track you through you movements across pages. I tend to block iframes because nothing good comes of them, but we've moved to mainly server side techniques. Given the moves by Congress and the FCC, I'm building my egress firewall with split routing for a VPN, because loving hell if this government is more interested in cash than safety.

Ghostlight posted:It's mostly just IPs and fuzzy bacon-separation logic. A few months back my boss asked me why I would have popped up as a recommendation on her girlfriend's facebook - almost certainly not because it knows there's a connection there, but because we both would've at some point checked facebook while connected to the company wifi. This. It's getting more finely granular because they do actually have decent graphs of people. Now think of what government has, and why agents keep checking up on their nearest and dearest. Even better, it's something that triggers paranoia in people because they sleptwalked through the last decade.

Sillybones posted:You have your IP address for your location. You have cookies on everything for tracking. Christ no. 'remember password' is basically the browser hashing the password for you. Form's will be remembered, but again, that's the browser. it's not a _great_ security idea to have a piece of software remembering your passwords because then your login password becomes the primary gate. Someone with access to your machine can then poke around in anything. I wouldn't sweat it, though. Sillybones posted:Your browser has a unique (enough) digital fingerprint so cookies aren't actually required. This, along with the above means they basically know everything about who you are, where you travel physically, who you talk to, what your preferences are. Kinda. Browser fingerprinting uses the headers that are sent out by the browser, usually user-agent, and whatever can be grabbed by javascript, but they're rarely personalized except where you volunteer information, open an account or otherwise enter your data. An exception to this is the iframe, which reports the visitor to the embedding page back to the embedded site. Facebook used this to track facebook users; your account cookie would be reported back to facebook from the site the button was embedded on. Porn sites used this to hilarious effect in the first days by faking permission to post porn. Sillybones posted:You connect a phone to your wireless, now your phone browsing and terminal browsing are linked. As is all the other devices you have connected to the internet with. If you take a laptop with you and connect to other places you are now tracked in that physical location as well. Not entirely. Wifi is not GSM. But free wifi is not free, so avoid it. People like me put free wifi up with SSL offloading all the time. If you do use free wifi, use a VPN. quote:Edit: I really wish I did some sort of computer security subject. The stuff I read on the net is terrifying. How anyone can secure any program/system from all angles of attack seems impossible. It's not impossible, it's just expensive at the enterprise level, and there's not a lot of 'win' at the user level. We tend to use multi-layered defenses and a bunch of different and rotated passwords constantly. We have software agents that check submitted code for high entropy strings (think API keys) that trigger a procedure that involves a 'do you know what you did' and 'are you going to do it again' education. The trick is to trust nothing and no-one; for example, we don't trust our internal network. Everything is tracked, monitored and watched - although sometimes the tracking is wrong, the monitors are old and the watching is sporadic. The internet was designed over robustness. You can actually tunnel most traffic over most protocols, which leads to fun like information egress through DNS queries, but they're really, really far out there. That poo poo about the ultrasonic loop should worry people, though. It's why I don't loving touch Android.

XK posted:I have no contacts or acquaintances. Your doctor does, and it's you. If I allow Linkedin to go through my contacts, it adds people that *it* doesn't already know about, and arranges them next to me on the graph. Someone else I know joins and has the same/more details (naive bayesian or similar), it can confirm the relationship. If it's not sure, they ask if you know them....and so on. A graph is a collection of nodes. You can rearrange them in the most amazing Kevin Bacon game ever. Funnily enough, for most of the social media sites, this graph is where the value of the company lies. Oh, and facebook 'pages' and 'groups' that people like, and the applications/games get the primary information for a user; name, birthdate, email address. Terms and conditions specifically state that you cannot use the details in external campaigns, but we know how ironclad that poo poo is. Erenthal posted:that wont work Potting compound for safety.
