True, somehow I mixed them both

Not an expert by any mean. But if they already did it with canceling the insurances of the Russian planes, banning effectively from the common European airspace, I see high chances of successfully implementing this.

Lol.

I honestly the paranoia path is something we all have walked until the descent to Dante infernos. Once you are there you realized this is not a place to live and then get a bit more practical. :)

I any case it is good mental exercise to check to what extend your threat model is not covering those situations. At least you know where your defence perimeter ends.

For everything else, selfhosting! ;)

Your problem is that the chain of untrust has not hit the ground yet.

At some point, you need to trust some technology or system.

You can continue until you are in comfortable ground and then build you trust chain. But honestly following your line of thoughts you will probably end up in a non digital area.

In my case I followed a similar path, but I am totally aware that I can not put resistance to a well funded and well manned intelligence agency, so the high quality industrial level is probably fine for me.

I have several copies on f my backups and all of them are encrypted and signed with rsa, the so are all of them open sources and well audited versions. The only point I relaxed is my phone and I try not have sensitive information on it but vpn and proxies just in case I need them.

I almost don’t use cloud services anymore and the one that I use he a nice record for keeping privacy.

My objective is not to stop Cia, but industry, scammers and all other nasty guys in the wild.

It is tiring, uncomfortable and sometimes cumbersome. But I think it is worthy

Because the modification of that computer is order of magnitudes more difficult than a mechanical modification of a moving part. The humanity / regular human is able to understand much better the interactions of the mechanical parts that usually are always local and well defined.

This does not exist in the Sw, FW and digital hw, the interactions are not local and are millions timesmore complex to understand and properly modify.

It would be an utterly irresponsability to modify (blindly) the Sw of an xray machine that could make it unsafe and ultimately it could kill humans, and it is the same concept with the car. It is irresponsable to make a modification that can make the system unsafe.

For the rest? Regulations, free software foundation and good selfhosting Cheers

Then don’t buy tesla, or force legislation about introducing such feature.

But make yourself a favor and don’t play Russian roulette with something that you can not understandbecause there are not data available.

And for final tip, if you really cares about that then enforce the fsf (fsf.org)

It is not comparable, not even by far.

Assuming your are not a psycho, to safely drive a car is orders of magnitude (in plural) easier than modifying the Sw in a safe and deterministic way.

It is not only that bad people exists, it is about that making a small mistake can kill you

First, second and third most important point is : Tesla needs to allow the connection to an alternative server.

The fourth should be access to the api and data that are exchanged.

You shouldn’t mess with the FW of your own car even for some innocent feature like this one, you don’t know/understand the interactions that may happen between different Sw components and the hw layer, you can not provide a similar of level of testing, including some worst case scenarios, that can make your car unsafe during some problems or unforeseen conditions. And perhaps also, the car could loose its license for driving…

If tesla allows that, then we can start speaking about it. But last time I check on that was not possible

Not good, you are going to lose a lot of stuff, from personal relations, connections to your wife and even your health.

I hope (really) your are not in a compromised financial situation and this is really temporary. If so, it is OK but you need to have a plan to reduce the hours in the foresable future.

If this is not the situation, then learn how to disconnect from the work in the spare time and spent quality time when possible, also do cardio. It helps. A lot.

When you are young you can really chew everything it is throwed at you, but it is not true anymore when you are past the 40s.

Take care of yourself, nobody else is going to do it.

I don’t refer that, the way it is cut the pull down force will de laminate the wood because only the glue between 2 layers is what is going to hold everything together.

As some other users were pointing it is also possible that the glue in recent years is better than the one I recall when I was a child

It could be, as I said before I am not the woodworking guy. Perhaps the glue improved in the last 30 years but I am pretty sure that my father wouldn’t like how it is cut :)

Not a woodworking guy but son of one.

If the picture you presented is representative, then make the cut of the wood in the other direction (not in the direction the wood layers). That piece of wood is either glued or / compressed. And in the way it is cut, if you hang heavy stuff there is a real possibility that wood layers are separated by brute force because is the glue which holds all together will not be enough.

But it is fine if you want to hang something small like a hammer.

You will need to explain a bit further this statement to mild knowledged internet stranger…

Because the point of waf is exactly about reducing the exposed surface…

Dealing with a Ds-lite connection for a fiber optic provider in latest opnsense.

It is excruciating how difficult is to run it reliable

Some clarifications :

The 3 2 1 rule applies only for the data. Not the backup, in my case I have the real/live data, then a daily snapshot in the same volume /pool and a external off-site backup

For the databases you got misleading information, you can copy the files as they are BUT you need to be sure that the database is not running (you could copy the data and n the middle of a transaction leading to some future problems) AND when you restore it, you need to restore to the exact same database version.

Using the export functionality you ensure that the data is not corrupted (the database ensure the correctness of the data) and the possibility to restore to another database version.

My suggestion, use borgbackup or any other backup system with de duplication, stop the docker to ensure no corruptions and save everything. Having a downtime of a minute every day is usually not a deal breaker for home users

Wow, no idea the novels were so many.

Any recommendation of good books thst can be read) at least partially) isolated?

What are the best books to get initiated I this universe?

Assume only the game lore is known.

Well, I don’t know how many online interactions you have. But has you ever imagined that perhaps the feedback you received here is actually the average of the people?

In these days is quite difficult to calibrate the crowd feeling for the insane amounts of echo chambers, the mass media crating opinion instead of informing and personal biases.

Usually, everybody of us is quite biased by our own interactions and knowledge of how the world worked around us. But those interactions are mainly defined by your social status, place of birth or simply where we live. By the specific details of people who debate in internet (probably accommodate urban person) it is possible that those ideas lean into a specific direction. But once again, it could be that you are simple realizing you are not with the majority

Of you already have a will the most secure, proof idiot way I’d to add that key + instructions to the will. Get some lawyers on board for that and it will work.

If you still have concerns about having the full key on a single place, add a topt or second way of identification and distribute it between your heirs.

Sometime, the old fahion way is the best one by far.

That is setting the bar really low…
