I'm very happy to read an old school flamewar, I was missing the sight of two monkeys screeching and flinging poo poo at each other. God bless these forums for keeping the discussion as dated as the UI!

Quoted tweet is gone. May I take this as an opportunity to ask that people take a picture of what they wanna show off, and attach or link it in the post? You don't even need an image editing program to just crop the image, that can be done on imgur or other hosting sites. You can even press F11 to fullscreen your browser - ie. practice OPSEC if you're worried about the cropping being done badly, leaving the original image on the server. Gonna be doing this myself, naturally.

It was something about how the big players like eBay run portscans. None of it made any sense at all.

The basic thrust was that NordVPN could protect you by using a browser extension or some poo poo like that. Because those large, scary corporations will totally scan your computer "illegally". The implication being when you visit their site with your browser, they are going to hoover up all the information they can get by hook or crook. It was basically dubious techno babble designed to scare rubes into using their product.

all of that happens, the issue is that a browser extension won't stop it

Do they mean the thing where websites do a portscan of localhost via inpage javascript for unique identifier purposes? I can see there being some value in blocking that.

Today's winner in "don't store your passwords in cleartext, what is this, 1965" is .... Livejournal! And of course a lot of us (shame on us, I admit it) reused passwords from LJ to Dreamwidth, so those are compromised too. This breach is especially bad because it's guaranteed to lead to doxxing lots of people who used pseudonyms to protect their journals from their families/friends/would-be employers.

I can't even remember what email address I used for LJ. I do remember manually deleting all my poo poo entry by entry. Probably the only ones that will effected by this are the ones that posted nudes.

Yeah I got an email from the pwned site and I was like.. “wait, I have a livejournal?” Turns out it was just a bunch of dead photobucket photos of a hockey game I played in .. from like 2005. I don’t think I even bothered changing my password, even knowing it was compromised.

I'm looking to get a VPN for my personal connection. I know it's not the be-all and end-all of privacy, and you're just having to move who has the information about your browsing from your ISP to your VPN. Is there a recommended VPN to use? Or any particular attributes you should examine on VPNs for the more trustworthy ones? My roommate and I have gigabit fiber, and while money definitely is an object, I don't mind paying a bit more for a better service.

Mullvad, because they get just about everything right that you could ask for, privacy-wise: https://thatoneprivacysite.net/blog/mullvad-review/ That review is now a few years old, but I have yet to have any issues at all with their service and their blog still sounds to me like they're ideological privacy purists. Runner-up: ProtonVPN. I have a lot less experience using this one but they do seem to know their poo poo, and their encrypted email service is very good. e: Just saw the mention of gigabit fiber. I certainly can't speak to that kind of speed, but I can usually max out my 100-megabit cable modem through a Mullvad host. Powered Descent fucked around with this message at 05:07 on Jun 2, 2020 |

Depends on what you're using it for. Mullvad is the only good commercial VPN, but if you are just trying to spoof location for Netflix, you can also use Algo. If you want security then just use Tor; VPNs are not for that.

Mullvad also supports Wireguard, which is nice if you want to run it on your phone/router/raspberry pi/whatever.

NPR Journalizard posted:I once had to have a bank password that was exactly 8 characters long. No more, no less. That is when you are working with old as poo poo databases with a fixed width on the field, if they are limiting you to 8char, that means /somewhere/ can't take a password longer then that, OR is storing it in the clear, OR its like DES and can only store 8chars

A lot of government systems are the same way. I know when I was doing subcontracting work, the overall system we had to log into to manage our account was length of 8 exactly, alphanumeric only. No special characters.
