Do you believe Luigi Mangione killed Bryan Johnson? Can he be found guilty with the evidence against him?

Personally: no & yes. For the latter, a legitimate court of law ought to laugh at this case. But that's not what he is facing.

The subject came up in conversation, so I figured I would take the temperature here.

Encrypt your Linux with LUKS, like seriously.

This makes a world of difference. I know many people may know of it but may not actually do it. It Protects your files in case your computer is ever stolen and prevents alphabet agencies from just brute forcing into your Laptop or whatever.

I found that Limine (bootloader) has the fastest decryption when paired with LUKS at least for my laptop.

If your computer isn't encrypted I could make a live USB of a distro, plug it into your computer, boot, and view your files on your hard drive. Completely bypassing your Login manager. If your computer is encrypted I could not.
Use a strong password and different from your login

Benefits of Using LUKS with GRUB
Enhanced Security

Data Protection: LUKS (Linux Unified Key Setup) encrypts disk partitions, ensuring that data remains secure even if the physical device is stolen.
Full Disk Encryption: It can encrypt the entire disk, including sensitive files and swap space, preventing unauthorized access to confidential information.

Compatibility with GRUB

Unlocking from Bootloader: GRUB can unlock LUKS-encrypted partitions using the cryptomount command, allowing the system to boot securely without exposing sensitive data.
Support for LVM: When combined with Logical Volume Management (LVM), LUKS allows for flexible partition management while maintaining encryption.

Pretty much all beginner friendly distros have this thing (Fedora Debian Ubuntu Mint). You just have to enable it. Also make sure if you are using secure boot - remove Microsoft keys and generate your own.
Also its nice to have bios password setup too.

It's easy-- if you install on a single drive. If you want home on a separate drive, encryption is not so easy, and you have to learn about cryptsetup, crypttab, etc. Quite a steep learning curve compared to the installer. I do hope distros provide better coverage of this in the future. Having home on a separate drive and encrypted is just good practice.

Good question. Along the same lines, if your disk is encrypted and you make a simple backup (say using cp) is the backup encrypted and if so, how do you restore from that?

in reply to RotatingParts

relativestranger

in reply to RotatingParts • 2 settimane fa • •

if your system uses full disk encryption (such as via LUKS) and you simply copy files off to an external or a secondary drive for a 'backup', no. the copy is not encrypted unless the destination has encryption set up on it, too.

the alternative would be using a backup program, instead of a simply file copy, that encrypts its backups.

in reply to RotatingParts

floofloof

in reply to RotatingParts • 2 settimane fa • •

It depends how the backup is encrypted. Most backup solutions will give you an encryption key, or a password to a key, that you have to keep safely and securely somewhere else. If you have an online password manager or a Keepass database in cloud storage, that would be a reasonable place to keep the key. Or on a USB stick (preferably more than one because they can fail) or a piece of paper which you mustn't lose.

the backup wouldn't be encrypted but you can use luks to encrypt the backup drive too, the same way as you'd do with a drive in your computer.

AES-256 is just an encryption algorithm, it doesn’t do any compression on it’s own, so it’s not quite right to say its compressed with it. Really it was compressed, then afterwards encrypted with AES-256.

To avoid confusion you could say, "along with", or fully say, "I encrypt with AES-256 as I compress, in one step".

I understood what you meant, I was just pointing out that what you said was incorrect. Even in your reply you said

I compress my files with the compression that encrypts it.

Which is still not entirely correct. The compression is not doing any encrypting. They are two separate processes that the tool you are using is presenting as a single step for convenience. You seem to know what you are talking about, and I happen to know about cryptography, but as someone else in the thread mentioned not everyone knows how these things work. If we are trying to spread knowledge and tips in this community (like your post is doing) then I just saw this as an opportunity to clarify something that was incorrect. Not for your benefit, but for others.

Cryptomator is good but it's important also to keep backups of the unencrypted content of the Cryptomator vault that are not encrypted by Cryptomator. (You could encrypt the backups with another system.) Cryptomator vaults are more fragile than the underlying file system, and it's easier for a glitch in the sync process to corrupt them so they're unrecoverable. I have lost data due to this in the past. So it's best to make sure all the contents of your vaults also exist somewhere else, encrypted in another way.

I used borg for my backups, but why do you say Cryptomator vaults are fragile?

in reply to rinze

floofloof

in reply to rinze • 2 settimane fa • •

It's not that they're especially fragile. It's really only when you combine them with a sync process. I once had a sync go wrong and it resulted in the contents of a vault being unreadable. Because all you have are a bunch of encrypted files with meaningless names and a flattish structure, which Cryptomator interprets and mounts as a different directory structure, when something goes wrong it's not easy to know where in the vault files the problem lies. You can't say "ah, I'm missing the documents folder so I'll restore that one from backup" like you could with an unencrypted directory. And if you've made changes since the last vault backup you can't just restore the whole vault either. You could mount a backup of the vault from a time when it was intact, and then copy files across into your live copy, but I feel safer having a copy in another format somewhere else. Not necessary, I guess, but it can make recovery easier.

Ok, I understand. In my particular use case that shouldn't be an issue. My Cryptomator folder is local and I use it only locally. Then there's a sync process to copy stuff to pCloud automatically, but that copy is never touched directly by my.

Encrypting your drives is a very sensible step to take, and it's so low effort that it's a no brainer in most cases. It'll stop casual thieves stealing you machine and reading your files, and combining your password with a TPM encrypted one will mean your data isn't readable on any machine except yours, even if the attacker has your password, which adds a little extra protection.

Unfortunately, none of that protects you against an adversary who is willing to kidnap and torture you to get your files. At that point you have to make a choice, which is more important; your files or your life/not being tortured. Fortunately, most people will never be in that situation, so should encrypt their drives and accept they'll reveal their encryption passphrase if taken hostage/arrested.

A more common case I've heard of is law enforcement using face id without permission. They can also compel people to give up passwords too which is why duress passwords and panic buttons exist to wipe everything

in reply to fruitycoder

notabot

in reply to fruitycoder • 2 settimane fa • •

You want to think very carefully before giving a duress password, or using a destructive panic button when dealing with law enforcement. If you do, you will be charged with, at least, destruction of evidence. You have to decide if your data is worth that. A duress password that only decrypts part of your data is probably safer if twinned with deniable encryption, although you still risk legal trouble.

Renohren

in reply to fruitycoder • 2 settimane fa • •

This is in the US, in a lot of countries, even in EU ones, refusing to reveal your password is used as part of the case against you (not as proof but as a suspicious attitude that can, combined with other facts, bring a certainty of culpability).

So be careful and check out your local laws before following US laws concerning this.

I was actually largely agreeing with you, but responding to the bit where you said:

It'll stop alphabet agencies from brute forcing it, sure, but that's not how they would approach extracting the information.

I see ~~~you've~~~ the mod has deleted this comment thread though, so it's unlikely anyone else will see it.

As to your question about what technology would stop it, I think you may need to think differently as no technology will stop a determined enough opponent torturing you for a password, but they're much more likely to attempt a malware style attack against you to skip all that bother. So countermeasures would involve a well locked down system (think about things like SELinux with MLS enabled and using VMs to isolate processes) and good information hygiene practices to reduce the risk of infection and the risk of it spreading if you are infected.

I edited my comment, it was the mod who deleted your comment.

I don't see many people debating you, but I do see a number of comments, including my own, that are pointing out things that need to be considered, or expanding on what you'd said. I don't see much that could be called 'stupid', but you seem to be carrying a lot of pent up frustration and anger. You'll probably find you have much more productiv£ and pleasant exchanges if you dump that on other people though.

One need only read or watch the news to know that a disturbingly large number of people are being abducted, predominantly under the umbrealla of ICE, but also for political reasons. It seems likely that if an agency has interest in the data of someone like that, presure of various sorts will be brought to bear on them. Most people will hand over their passwords long before the threat of physical violence is manifested, but the threat is there none-the-less. As you say, this won't apply to most everyday citizens, for now at least.

Ultimately, it's a case of setting up your security posture to match your own threat models. Encryption is an excellent step, but only addresses some threats, online attacks being the most obvious set that it does not help with.

Given its nature and functionality, it's hard to see how the TPM subsystem itself could be backdoored in any meaningful fashion without the rest of the CPU also being compromised. Whilst that is certainly possible, and the remote management engines (IME and such) almost certainly are, it seems more likely to me that the encryption algorythms themselves are deliberately weakened in some way. The NSA, famously, have done that sort of thing before, subtly influencing aspects of the design of cryptographic systems to make them easier for them to break. It would not surprise me, for example, to discover that the supposedly random key material is actually linked to something like your CPU's ID.

None-the-less, using functionality help prevent someone who has your password, but isn't a government actor, decrypting your data.

What would actually happen is a bios level rootkit that installs a nearly invisible tiny rootkit on your device everytime it starts, but this is only if you are an important target. Most police departments can also just pay a private hacking company to steal your keys by using undisclosed exploits. Encryption can work well for other things but anything you wouldn't want state or corporations seeing, you are better off just not ever putting it on your machine.

You can be private somewhat through obscurity. Using free software that doesn't log you, not using any machine that's in anyway tied to you to do stuff, setting up your own point to point connection to use someone else machine as your access point. Never having a microphone or camera anywhere near your hacking machine. I'm not really that type of hacker, more of a programmer/hardware person, but it can be done somewhat safely if you take every effort to protect your identity.

This is what I would do if I want ed to do something on the internet that might actually really piss off the FBI and NSA. Something like releasing the Epstein files to dozens of independent journalists around the world or something.

I'd get cash, and leave my phone at home, go to a thrift store and buy an old laptop. Wait a couple of months, and never power it on. I download dozens of Linux distros a year before this, something as small as possible, and lightweight as possible. Nothing network, maybe even tails.

Then I'd have it sitting on a thumb drive for many months before I dropped the files. One day before a lot of rain was coming in, I'd walk, not drive or anything, without my cell phone, using the tree cover to avoid spy satellite rewind surveillance, to a location where there is open wifi or an Ethernet jack.

Then I'd use several layers of proxying and VPNs, although this would be slow as shit. All on fresh accounts. Using nested VMs, each carrying an additional layer of VPNs. I'd use this as my set up my own network, by exploiting some random machines in the wild to get my last couple layers of VPNs.

Being careful to only type one word per second and not misspelling anything or in anyway aiding in any type of correlation attack, I'd first upload it in an encrypted format to a web host to speed up the next part, then I'd copy it to many places. I would then send it to as many people as possible, probably using a script to hit many emails addresses at once. As soon as the files hit the drive, I would assume I had about 5 minutes before the black helicopters showed up. At 5 mines I'd take a super strong magnet and start destroying the laptop, then I'd run away, find another safe spot, and then incinerate it.

Then I'd never tell anyone, go home, take a nap, wake up, talk to chatGPT about my amazing nap that I overslept on, and carve out some hidden spaces at abandoned houses and stuff to stash the actual drives with the info.

If you do anything less then this, you will probably get caught. Legal evidence is one thing, but you should never underestimate the numerous surveillance technologies they employ for unconstitutional surveillance. You n leed to be mindful of fingerprinting, (using only a throw away device and destroying it afterwards in a way that it's not obvious that it was you) nothing that has ever touched your network or any files that that came from your PC or anything. It needs to exist in a totally separate universe. No connection whatsoever) you need to be mindful of cameras, license plate scanners, cellular modem surveillance, spy satellites which can see back in time to follow someone's footsteps back through time. Correlation attacks, common word usage that can denote your region, common misspellings that you do, the particular way you type, root kits, assume every device is compromised and if you buy a device with a camera, don't even open it until it's been sitting for months and then remove the cameras and microphones, and never power it up anywhere near your house.

Another thing to be mindful of is fingerprinting your downloads, don't download something on your PC and use it on your device.

Be wary of your footprints, this is why I said you would want to do this before a storm but perhaps maybe you would even tie wood to your shoes.

If you did this you could leak something like the Epstein files and probably get away with it, but if you are one of the few people who live in a neighborhood who is a hacker, I would expect that you'd have dozens of FBI agents watching every move you do and combing through your past to find any infraction that they could try to blackmail you with.

Never ever, trust an electronic device is better advice.

Also: back in the day, you could wipe a drive with GNU Shred or just "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda". SSDs and NVMe drives have logic about where and what to overwrite that makes this less effective, leading to the possibility of data recovery from old drives. If the data is always encrypted at rest and the key is elsewhere (not on the drive, in a yubikey or TPM chip or your head), then the data is not recoverable.

in reply to bruhbeans

From what I understand, some modern drives effectively encrypt everything at rest, but have the key on file internally so it decrypts transparently. This allows for a fast "wipe" where it just destroys the key instead of having to overwrite terabytes.

The same issue applies to Windows 10. I think the TPM (and a BIOS password) is supposed to address this for Windows 11 but I presume you could flush the NVRAM and access the files anyway. I don't know what exact safeguards there are.

Either way, I am far more trustful of passwords I enter myself. Such as wafersGeezAfterCraze.

TPM uses parts of your system like hardware configuration, bios version, can even use parts of the OS, to generate a hashcode to decrypt your drive, so if anything gets replaced it wont automatically decrypt. what this allows is to have a much more complex decryption key and allows you to rely on OS security and much simpler passwords to protect your data because your OS (which cannot be replaced without breaking TPM) will protect against brute force attacks with retry delays and limits.

ur def right about this. there are a few other things (e. g. cached mail etc) that would be good to encrypt, which I don't do right now.

if my computer gets stolen I figure no one will bother with my data unless they stand to immediately gain financially. e.g. ransom. my data (I have backups) or access my bank info (I keep this encrypted) and steal my identity. so I protect against this as best as I can without sacrificing usability too much

You act like encrypting the whole drive makes it take more power or something

in reply to Magnum, P.I.

in reply to Magnum, P.I. • 2 settimane fa • •

so the issue with whole drive encryption is that all the data is decrypted 100% of the time I'm using the device. even when I sleep the device ...

with one folder, I ensure it's unmounted and encrypted before my computer sleeps.

Files are encrypted at rest, if they are not actively interfacing with the encrypted mount it is secure. If you encrypt your entire system it's safe from attacks when powered off, but as soon as you're booted in the machine is fully accessible.

Magnum, P.I.

in reply to gi1242 • 1 settimana fa • •

But when your Computer is on and the drive is mounted, its also decrypted and available? What's the attack vector here? Someone coming into my house yoinking my computer while its asleep without interrupting the power?

in reply to Magnum, P.I.

gi1242

in reply to Magnum, P.I. • 1 settimana fa • •

usually I sleep my laptop and take it with me. with full disk encryption, if my bag gets stolen my files are all decrypted if the attacker gets past the lock screen.

getting past a lock screen is much easier than breaking encryption ofc

more importantly my desktop is online 24/7 with a static IP. if I get hacked they get all my data (bank passwords etc). but with the one folder encryption, if I get hacked they get my zshrc and init.lua 🙂

Could be a misconfiguration. Can happen when you have more than one partition that is encrypted. Grub would decrypt only root and fail to pass through the passphrase to decrypt the others. Can be fixed by putting a decryption key somewhere on the root partition and adding that to the other partitions.

That's definitely not how it should be, unless you have two different passphrases.

I wanna encrypt my BTRFS system, but not the FAT32 boot part. Only the Linux kernels are on FAT32 anyway, and I don’t care about encrypting those — they’re public stuff, not private files. I just let limine-entry-tool hash them to make sure they’re clean for booting, that’s totally fine for me.

I don’t like putting kernels on the Linux filesystem for GRUB — it just makes booting slower and causes random issues.

And don't forget folks: if this drive contains your whole digital identity, make sure your next ones do have the keys. If something happens to you, it is impossible to retrieve logins, photos, whatever your kin/whomever might need from that drive.

Same goes for e.g. homeservers, VPSs or anything your family relies on: tell them where they find the relevant logins and who could possibly help them, if they're not capable. Grieving is hard enough, if they figure they also lost all memories of the beloved one, that's terrible.

Last time I had LUKS setup on my main laptop, there was a surprizingly sharp hit in performance.

I'm glad I have the option, but is it really the most appropriate thing for me to use right now? It just doesn't make sense to talk about security and privacy without a clear threat model first.

in reply to AnimalsDream

Lunatique

in reply to AnimalsDream • 1 settimana fa • •

Sigh. It doesn't impact performance. That had a had a higher chance of being the type of partition you created. Also, in the PRIVACY group are you really confused about why you want privacy?

in reply to Lunatique

AnimalsDream

in reply to Lunatique • 1 settimana fa • •

The type of partition I created was Debian's default settings at the time.

This is where the threat modeling comes in. The laptop in question is not currently likely to be physically searched - nor does it contain any data that is likely to put me at any risk if it is searched, and the more prudent things I can be doing to protect my privacy have more to do with getting away from Android/Play Store, and being less dependent on other surveillance-capitalism services like YouTube, Google Maps, etc.

I will likely use LUKS again in the future, but there are broader overhauls I need to make to my digital life first.

in reply to AnimalsDream

Lunatique

in reply to AnimalsDream • 1 settimana fa • •

Look you don't need to be searched or expecting a search. If someone steals your laptop you are covered SIGNIFICANTLY more if it's encrypted which gives you privacy because they wouldn't be able to see your data. Doesn't matter if it's a risk to you. It's for the privacy. It's the mindset not just the random act

Currently I have fragments of my data stored on at least half a dozen devices that I've accumulated over the years. My digital life is as messy as my adhd brain. I plan on setting up a NAS at some point, and will likely both consolidate all my data there and use LUKS. But until then encrypting one drive is the least of my problems.

Although anti-theft tech in my laptop might be kind of neat.

It's a Thinkpad P51 with a Xeon chip of some sort. Yeah I don't know what happened there, only that switching to fedora without full disk encryption has resulted in much greater performance, like a difference between being able to do some gaming or not. So many variable changed there that I don't even know if the crypto had anything to do with it.

I like to keep a key on a USB so the computer boots either with a ridiculously strong backup password or a key on a USB drive. I like tiny little USB drives. So, if you find yourself in an airport or wherever and you just "lose" the USB then the device is automatically locked down.

I built a small set of scripts to decrypt when the initrd starts and can load from a file in the initrd (from separate volume), EFI, or various combinations of passphrase in GRUB. The main intent isn't to keep out somebody with physical access to the machine and sufficient time but rather makes it a lot easier to make the data unrecoverable when the drive is disposed of.

arch linux was what forced me to use LUKS on all of my installs regardless of distros, btw.

i used the standard layout:/boot, /, /home, swap. So when the installs break, the best way to fix is to use the archiso and remount and re arch-chroot.

Well.... i found out that without LUKS, anybody can use any distros live cd and mount my stuff.

At first, I used LUKs only on the main partitions: so / and /home, or just / if no separate /home. Swap remains unencrypted. Boot is also unencrypted.

You could encrypt those too but need more work and hackery stuff:

encrypted boot: can be slow if you boot the compututer from cold. There's also this thing where you need to enter the password twice => think Fedora has an article to get around this. Iirc, it involves storing the boot's encrypted password as a key deep within the root directory.
encrypted swap: the tricky thing is to use this with hibernation. I managed to get it to work once but with Zram stuff, I dont use hibernation anymore. It involved writing the correct arguments in the /boot/grub/grub.cfg. Basically tells the bootloader to hibernate and resume from hibernation with the correct UUID.

Le celebrazioni di Genova per Cristoforo Colombo

Domenica 12 ottobre, Genova celebra Cristoforo Colombo con una serie di iniziative che culminano nella cerimonia colombiana a Palazzo Ducale, che si conclude con il conferimento dell’onorificenza del Grifo Città di Genova alla partigiana Mirella Alloisio. Come da tradizione ad anticipare l’evento più solenne, alle ore 15, le partenze dei cortei storici, che animano il centro cittadino.
La prima iniziativa ha come protagonista il Corteo Storico del Comune di Genova, con una sfilata da Palazzo Ducale che attraversa piazza Matteotti, piano di Sant’Andrea, Porta Soprana e vico Dritto Ponticello per raggiungere la Casa di Colombo dove si tiene una cerimonia commemorativa con deposizione di corone e interventi istituzionali.

Il secondo appuntamento, intitolato “I Chiostri del Tempo di Colombo”, è organizzato dal Comitato Nazionale per Colombo di Bruno Aloi ed è patrocinato dal Comune di Genova. L’evento prevede la partenza contemporanea di due cortei che confluiscono in piazza De Ferrari: il “Corteo del Nuovo Mondo” (percorso via Garibaldi, piazza Fontane Marose, via XXV Aprile); il “Corteo del Vecchio Mondo” (Casa di Colombo, via Dante, via Fieschi e via XX Settembre). Insieme, poi, lungo via San Lorenzo sino a Calata Falcone Borsellino, al Porto Antico, dove viene rievocato lo sbarco di Cristoforo Colombo a San Salvador il 12 ottobre 1492. L’iniziativa coinvolge complessivamente circa 350 figuranti.
Dalle ore 17, nel Salone del Maggior Consiglio di Palazzo Ducale, si svolgerà la Cerimonia Colombiana, istituita negli anni Cinquanta. La celebrazione sarà aperta dal saluto ai liguri nel mondo da parte della sindaca di Genova Silvia Salis alla presenza di Mario Menini, presidente dell’Associazione Liguri nel Mondo.
Seguiranno gli interventi del presidente di Regione Liguria Marco Bucci, dell’assessore comunale alla Cultura Giacomo Montanari e del direttore del Galata Museo del Mare Piero Campodonico. In rappresentanza del Consiglio dei Ministri interverrà il ministro per la Pubblica Amministrazione Paolo Zangrillo.
La relazione annuale, affidata a Roberto Santamaria, ricercatore dell’Università per Stranieri di Siena, avrà come tema: “Non solo Colombo: i genovesi dominatori del commercio del marmo nel Mar Mediterraneo”.
Nel corso della commemorazione verranno conferiti i Premi Colombiani. La Medaglia Colombiana al professor Antonio Musarra, riconoscimento destinato a chi, indipendentemente dalla nazionalità, si sia distinto per ardimento, impegno negli studi e nelle esperienze, nonché per audacia nelle realizzazioni di alto valore umano o in efficaci contributi scientifici e divulgativi.
Il Premio Internazionale delle Comunicazioni “Cristoforo Colombo” sarà conferito al Corpo delle Capitanerie di Porto – Guardia Costiera, per il contributo offerto, attraverso scoperte, ricerche o iniziative di valore tecnico, scientifico, sociale e umano, al progresso delle comunicazioni e alla collaborazione tra i popoli.
Il Premio Internazionale dello Sport andrà invece a Giovanni Malagò. Il premio viene conferito ad atleta, sportivo o ente, associazione o persona che abbia meglio contribuito nell’anno a valorizzare lo sport, considerato non solo nei suoi aspetti fisici ed agonistici, ma anche in quelli spirituali ed educativi.
Nel corso della cerimonia sarà inoltre presentata l’offerta dell’olio da parte del Comune di Riomaggiore, destinato alla lampada votiva che arde presso le ceneri di Cristoforo Colombo, custodite nel Faro di Santo Domingo.
La commemorazione si concluderà con il conferimento dell’onorificenza del Grifo Città di Genova a Mirella Alloisio, da parte della sindaca Silvia Salis, in riconoscimento del suo costante impegno nel rafforzare i valori e l’identità della comunità genovese.

cinturanza rinnovistica di grado 3 per la banda ximi numero 9 (i nuovi cinturini arrivati)

Alla fine, a ritirare i fantasmagorici cinturini per la mia povera Mi Band 9 castigata ci è andato mio padre ieri sera, che doveva fare la spesa con mia madre, e allora è passato al bloccatore Amazon… e ora si gode? Non saprei, a dire il vero, ma l’emergenza è sicuramente passata, e ora posso di nuovo indossare il mio orologino magico cinese come un orologio, anziché come una collanina strana come ho fatto per questi giorni — perché alla fine, in realtà, devo dire che quell’idea non è stata terribile, e almeno come ripiego base ha funzionato, riuscendo a contarmi quantomeno i passi e permettendomi di vedere l’ora senza ricorrere ad altri oggetti… 😯

Beh, i cinturini a questo giro sono ben 3 — …che sono in realtà pochini per essere venduti in blocco, ma questo passa il convento nel nostro sistema economico malato — perché, con un budget ridotto, ho preferito comprarne una serie di uguali, anziché uno solo con gli stessi soldi… Cioè, partendo dalla condizione di avere 0 cinturini da parte, è meglio comprarne qualcuno in più di soltanto 1, perché, se se ne compra solo uno, e poi pure quello si rompe, si è punto e a capo nella stessa vecchia rogna… cinturini simpatici più pazzi, che da soli costano abbastanza, li posso sempre comprare poi, magari su AliExpress addirittura. 👌
E allora, boh! Solita marca assolutamente sconosciuta, e un totale di 9,99 euro… quindi, 10 euro… però con uno sconto del 5% al momento dell’ordine… quindi di 50 centesimi… quindi 9,49 euro… e ok, va: amazon.it/-/en/Msksjer-Compati…. Devo dire però che i colori nelle immagini non rispecchiano per niente bene quelli effettivi (mentre nei dettagli testuali dell’inserzione sono giusti, stranamente)… il bianco è più bianco, senza quella strana tinta giallognola che percepisco (e direi che è un bene), quello che sembra marrone è in realtà un rosa “secco” (gradevole, ringraziamo il cielo, altro che marrone), e il verde nella realtà mi appare più pallido (e questo è sia un pro che un contro a seconda dei casi, penso io). Non rendono al 100% nemmeno nelle mie foto, a dire il vero, anche se ho fatto il meglio che potevo, quindi si abbia pazienza… 🔪
Appena tolti dalla confezione ultraminimale che non permette una goduriosa esperienza di unboxing, però, questi cosi mi hanno fatto decisamente scoppiare il cervello, perché ci avrò messo, tra capire come fare a regolarlo in primo luogo, e poi come regolarlo per il mio braccio, non meno di 7 minuti buoni… Perché, a differenza di quelli che comprai per la Mi Band 3 l’anno passato, che semplicemente usano il velcro, questi sono di un qualche tessuto elastico (anche qui, dicono nylon, ma io che ne so) per permettere di essere tolti e rimessi, e per la regolazione usano un ferretto… che è però persino meno intuitivo di quelli che si usano negli zaini, quindi ecco; ma questo non è un problema del prodotto, è semplicemente un problema di skill (e quando mai…). Chissà se, col bonus di niente velcro, ma col malus dell’elasticità, possano durare di più o di meno… 🤥
L’importante è che, avendone provato uno da ieri sera fino a stamattina, e ovviamente ancora ce l’ho addosso in questo momento, sembrano boni. Di tutti, ho per ora messo quello rosa (e c’erano dubbi?), per cui casualmente una delle watchface che avevo già installate si abbina in misura sublime (anche se, ahinoi, in foto si nota poco), quindi l’esperienza mibandica è stata in un istante potenziata. È abbastanza comodo, lo percepisco più sottile e meno ingombrante di quello ufficiale di gomma che si è spaccato (e beh, in effetti lo è), e mi da decisamente molto meno fastidio di quello, quando sto alla scrivania… in tutti gli altri casi è semplicemente buono, non noto differenze, va benissimo!!! E chiaramente, grazie alla regolazione a ferretto anziché a buchi, e all’elasticità della stoffa, sta regolato perfettamente al polso, senza essere né troppo lasco né troppo stretto… Vabbé, dai, a questo punto è giusto dirlo: godo. 🥰

Why The Rest of the World Laughs at America

Recent global reactions show the world's diminishing respect for American leadership, particularly following Trump's 2024 election victory and subsequent actions in 2025.

International polling reveals a dramatic decline in America's global standing, with only 46% of people across 29 countries believing the US will have a positive influence on world affairs, down from 59% just months earlier¹. Even in Canada, traditionally a close ally, positive views of the US plummeted from 52% to just 19%¹.

Trump's 58-minute UN speech in September 2025 drew stony faces from world leaders, a stark contrast to previous years when delegates would laugh at his claims². According to body language expert Peter Collett, "People are taking it much more seriously. Whereas formerly it was a source of amusement when he puffed himself up, now almost everything he has to say has to be taken seriously"².

The administration's policies have further eroded America's standing. Massive tariffs imposed on nearly 70 countries have disrupted global trade³, while Trump's stance on immigration and inflammatory rhetoric about other nations has alienated allies. At the UN, Brazilian President Lula warned of "attacks on sovereignty, arbitrary sanctions and unilateral interventions" becoming the norm⁴.

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez emerged as a leading European voice opposing American policies, defending migration and open societies while warning about "the door to tyranny"⁴. Meanwhile, Indonesian President Subianto received applause at the UN for declaring "No one country can bully the whole of the human family"⁴.

Trump’s UN speech makes it clear: the world can no longer look to the US for strong leadership

US president’s speech made a mockery of UN values and highlights the need for strong anti-Trumpian alliances

The USA is analogous to the Soviet Union. Fake food, fake happiness, fake or poor quality everything- even beyond just goods and services. American speech is fake, the political class, intentionality, even well meaning people are fake. Nothing is meaningful with intention. Their democracy is fake, and so is their standing and success. All fake. Their clothes are cheap slop, everything is brand obsession but with zero substance, all marketing. Brand obsession might as well be considered a form of propaganda at this point, as the line between branding and political influence is blurry. They destroyed what semblance of country and community they once had.

They're on the verge of having one helluva hangover when they sober up.

The worst part is, they don't know it. They are living in a bubble that is bombarded with corporatism/ political propaganda.

Trump is the most Amerikan president, yet. A perfect representation of the people and the culture of the USA today.

"As democracy is perfected, the office of the President represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day, the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the White House will be occupied by a downright fool and a complete narcissistic moron." -- H. L. Mencken

Congrats to the Amerikan people on their achievement. Though they could probably go beyond perfection with their can-do attitude.

In questo video di alcuni mesi fa, Simone Angioni discute di alcune considerazioni e verifiche importanti da fare prima dell'installazione di un impianto fotovoltaico.

"Quanto produce davvero un impianto fotovoltaico da 6kW? E conviene installarlo? In questo video vi porto la mia esperienza concreta, con dati reali e qualche sorpresa (non sempre positiva...). Parliamo di produzione, ottimizzatori, auto elettrica, bollette e... un enorme problema di cui si parla poco: la sovratensione.

Had to look it up myself. The song was used as the main theme to an older web miniseries about a fictitious scene group. Just watched through the first episode and it tickled some nostalgia; mIRC, ICQ and such. Might have to give the rest of it a watch.

I’m 28. I hang out with one friend at least 1-3 times a week. I see the rest of them once every few months, but we’re all in discord pretty frequently. I also have friends in the local kink scene I see relatively often depending on how many events I go to.
