lol if you trust a random foreign based company that's spending a fortune on advertising with all of your traffic. If they wanted to, they could selectively target you with dumping your browser's ephemeral key material and then decrypt everything you've conveniently routed through them. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Projects/NSS/Key_Log_Format if you want to proxy your traffic go buy a vps and run your own wireguard vpn, or socks proxy or something. Although its unclear what good that does either.

Any large VPN provider is fine if your threats are shifty local coffeeshop wifi and the RIAA. None of them are good enough if Mossad is after you.

Trapick posted:Sorry, how do you figure my VPN company is going to get access to my computer to install something so they can get any keys I have locally? Do PIA and friends not require you to install a client? If you've installed somebody's software with enough privileges to reconfigure network devices and your route table, they can do anything. If you're worried about starbucks wifi, I've good news for you that all your favorite sites have been using tls for 15 years.

Also yes, make sure you're on https on any sites you remotely care about/enter any info on. That'll deal with nearly all the trouble a vpn would save you.

There used to be a Chron's disease thread in e/n where people talked about digestive medical problems, you could make a new one if you wanted. I wouldn't recommend the eating disorders thread for talking about problems that come from a physical disease or injury rather than a psychological disorder.

Why don't we all type on stenotype keyboards if stenography is so fast? I mean I don't want to but it seems like it would be a good idea

Manager Hoyden posted:Why don't we all type on stenotype keyboards if stenography is so fast? Qwerty keyboards were actually specifically designed to slow down typists in the days when typewriter keys could get jammed together. People have developed much more optimized keyboards but very few people adopt them cause people are just used to qwerty and don't want to learn a new keyboard for just a, idk, 10-20% increase in speed? Stenographers use them because they have to keep up with people talking, but most people are typing original words and the time it takes to think up what to write is probably the limiting factor or similar timescale as typing, so I don't even know if most people would benefit from a 20% boost in typing speed.

There are people who program at least a bit who use chording keyboards of one form or another. Someone who does both steganography and some programming has done things like this Vim demonstration: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MuVUGKBOp9Q

Back when I worked for Books-A-Million in the mid-aughts, their staff intranet page had a section that mentioned author appearances on TV and radio that made it really handy when someone came in asking for a book that they saw on Good Morning America or heard on NPR or whatever. Does anyone know of an aggregate website or a publication that has this information? Or was that feature something BAM did in-house?

Did something change in Facebook for everyone? Facebook is repeatedly injecting links to businesses and other things (including a song, at one point) after or at the end of my replies today. For example, I had a post referring to the greyhound rescue, and FB put in a link to some restaurant called the greyhound restaurant. I had to delete the reply and repost it with "greyhound" replaced by "racing dog" to get rid of the drat thing. Earlier, I mentioned Kia and Hyundai in a post, and got all sorts of weird links underneath it, for a car dealer as well as for some bizarre site whose name was a partial homonym of Kia, I think. I got rid of those bye replacing Kia with "K i a", and similarly for Hyundai. I've only been able to tolerate FB because I use FB Purity, but this may be a bridge too far.

As for "foreign based", I sure as hell trust a Swiss company more than a US or Australian one!

Which means it's phonetic, not an actual spelling of words so that seems to be less than optimal for a lot of things that require exact spelling.

Facebook will try and detect businesses in posts and link to their FB business pages and it sounds like it's either gone a little haywire or you're part of an A/B testing some new feature that isn't working quite right. I would give it a few days and see if it sorts itself out. I don't think there's anything you can do.

Wow, they sure have made it easier. I deleted mine probably a decade ago, but at the time, the only way was to copy a specific url that was only in the public record because a lawyer sued facebook to delete their personal information instead of just deactivating their account. Think I found it on some obscure tech news site.

Tiggum posted:No. It isn't. If someone tells you they cut their finger and wants to know if there's anything they can do to stop it hurting, "cut off your hand" is not a solution. Technically their finger would no longer hurt, but you know it's not the outcome they're actually looking for. Yeah but that's a poo poo analogy If someone has an unrecoverably necrotic finger and keeps using it and they keep leaving pus trails all over their keyboard, cutting it off is the right move.
