A software developer and Linux nerd, living in Germany. I’m usually a chill dude but my online persona doesn’t always reflect my true personality. Take what I say with a grain of salt, I usually try to be nice and give good advice, though.
I’m into Free Software, selfhosting, microcontrollers and electronics, freedom, privacy and the usual stuff. And a few select other random things, too.
I damaged a few insoles, so maybe take care of them separatly.
I think general advice is to remove insoles and shoelaces. Choose a program that keeps spinning to a minimum. And put something else in so they don’t spin around like crazy. And dry them slowly, stuffed with old newspapers.
I occasionally wash them. I also put in a few dirty rags or something. Seems fine, but I haven’t done it frequently.
Well, there’s this study from 2018: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11416-018-0319-9
Given that Priton / Wine / … try to simulate a Windows environment, it’s certainly possible. But I’ve never heard this happened to anyone. And the discussions on the internet seem very theoretical.
Surely it highly depends on the exact kind of malware and what it tries to do. And it doesn’t really seem to happen in the wild. But I see no reason why it wouldn’t theoretically work.
And you need to configure protonvpn correctly so it uses their DNS. In the VPN world this is known as a ‘DNS leak’.
Not sure what they use (you could ask one of them.) Bue we’ve used OBS Ninja for similar things. As far as I remember it works well, has acceptable latency and everything is open source.
Edit: Obviously you have to put in some effort to configure OBS to your liking, make appealing slides etc.
Since you got your data off that drive, there is no way to make it worse. So sure, go ahead and open it up and learn something. But I think you’re underestimating the flimsiness of the mechanics inside. It’s like nanometers clearance between the read heads and the surface of the platters. You won’t get it right without expensive equipment. And changing the PCBs is probably not going to change anything if it’s a mechanical failure.
Ja die sollen da mal Pseudonyme einbauen, Anonymität, sowas wie Altersverifikation und zwar so dass and das dem gegenüber ich mich ausweise nur angezeigt wird ob ich 18 bin und nicht wer ich bin… OAuth und 'nen Ersatz für tausende Accounts und Passwörter. Vllt wäre auch mal ein rechtssicherer und verschlüsselter Nachfolger für Briefe und E-Mail angebracht. Aber bitte alles so, dass es funktioniert und nicht nur bei 3 Firmen genutzt werden kann.
I own the same phone. Also mine still is perfectly alright. I’m currently on GrapheneOS but that’s also not supported anymore. Sometimes I get some smaller patches. I’m planning to switch to LineageOS. The phone seems still supported there and they even have Android 14 available.
I’m certainly not wasting that phone. Except for the camera which seems a bit outdated to me, compared to the camera of my partner’s Samsung… It’s still a really nice phone. And I refuse to buy a new one at this point.
Sure. But running an unmaintained operating system also is an huge security issue. I mean the proper choice is quite obvious: get rid of the phone and buy a new one that’s supported by Calyx or Graphene. But since I’m not willing to do that, I have to choose what’s more important to me.
And with security, it always depends on the specific threat model. I’m not sure if I need secure boot that badly. Can people steal my phone, flash a different OS and access the cryptographic key to my storage? Because that’d be one of the things I worry about. If not, I don’t think I care about secure boot that much… YMMV
