A roommate’s girlfriend rummaged through my drawers and took some small bills and change from my dresser. My roommate sided with her, saying it wasn’t a big deal.

Our friendship soured, I got a new lock for my room that only I had a key to, and I set up a security camera on my desk. She never did do it again after being caught, but it made the rest of the time I lived there not particularly pleasant. I always felt slightly on edge, keeping an eye to make sure nothing had been moved or taken.

Well shit.

TLDW?

I guess a better question then - when is the juice worth the squeeze?

Like, I’m sure that government agencies have an interest in tracking who is making what comments pseudonymously online, but it would take a lot of effort, computers, money, energy, etc to constantly scan and store information for everyone, right?

Which is where we get into different levels of security - I’m going to try harder to hide my identity if I were to pirate a movie vs browsing Wikipedia.

I guess the question is: who is motivated to collect what information, and what needs to be done to make that identifying information useless for them to connect the dots?

Although, what are the odds someone goes to the length to match writing style and personal details that you let slip while using a pseudonymous account against an online presence where you are identifiable?

I’m sure it’s possible, especially if there’s a reason you might be targeted, but I imagine it’s still pretty challenging and time consuming

I have an idea for a building decarbonization co-op enterprise that I’m really excited about, but it’s difficult for a few reasons: lack of time outside of work to develop the business plans, lack of connection to others to build with, and lack of financial capital to get off the ground. I’m not opposed to putting in the effort to try fixing those, but they are all significant challenges.

Thank you!

Thank you!

Are there any resources available for how to do this? I feel like I more or less understand how Docker works conceptually, but every time I try to actually use it, I feel in over my head very quickly

I would also like to become a tree! My grandma’s cabin that I spent a lot of time at growing up is right next to a national forest. I hope that type of service is more widely available when I die

Thank you!

Thank you!

It seems quite fully featured to me, and v1.0 was just released

I’m Starting To Worry About This Black Box of Doom by Jason Pargin. It’s an excellent thriller, with a great exploration of how Internet rumors can spill over into the real world

How is offering users the option to set a backup/recovery email a dark pattern?

A lot of models are being trained on “synthetic” data now, right?

Pretty cool, good on ya Bitwarden

I’ve done this before with a laptop and KVM switch. It worked fine. YMMV depending on the dock and switch in question though. The only issue I ran into was needing separate cables for the mouse/keyboard and video from the switch to the dock.

One of my new favorites when trying to decide if something is worth doing - “Is the juice worth the squeeze?”

Wichita Lineman is excellent - “the first existential country song”
