What’s an O-counter?

Every vehicle behind it was really fucking warned though.

Since you opened up to a response; Yeah. A little bit gibberish. But thats okay.

blockchain is a public ledger. There is no increased anonimity in it. Its core essence is that it is open and public, and everyone can check and validate it. The privacy part comes from not knowing which person is behind which wallet. But hey! You can do that here! Or anywhere.

Looking at the article:

According to Kolektiva, the seized database, now in the FBI’s possession, includes personal information such as email addresses, hashed passwords, and IP addresses from three days prior to the date the backup was made. It also includes posts, direct messages, and interactions involving a user on the server. Because of the nature of the fediverse, this also implicates user messages and posts from other instances.

Focussing on that last part first; Posts, PMs, and other interactions are open and public in the ActivityPub protocol (which lemmy and KBin and Mastodon work on). If the FBI wants that, they can just go to the website and make an account, no raid needed. Blockchain tech wouldnt chance that.

Focussing on the first part: email addresses, hashed passwords, and IP addresses, those are not all open to the public. And you may want to protect those better. But as I said, you dont need hip blockchain for that!

• Dont use your primary email directly when making an account, but hide behind an email-alias. SimpleLogin, HideMyEmail, Guerilla Email, 10minute mail, Proton Pass, are all services that let you provide an email that is not your own, but does connect to your actual inbox.

• Dont reuse passwords. Use a password manager to generate random ones for each website. Bitwarden has a good rep. LastPass is still used, KeePass exists, Proton Pass is new and promising.

• Dont browse without a VPN.

• bonus (use a privacy focussed browser with extensions that block un-whitelisted javascripts, block trackers, and block canvassing/fingerprinting).

Can your private info now still be obtained? The answer ranged somewhere in between possibly and probably. But you’ve made it a lot of work. Work that almost only a governmental agency can perform, in a way that takes manpower time and warrants. You’ll have to have them very interested in you as an individual to go through all of that.

I compare it to going outside. You wear clothes so that you arent naked, shoes that protect your feet, and if you touch something icky you’ll want to wear gloves. The internet is basically the same. Just remember, like outside, most of the internet is a public space. Information that you volunteer, conversations that you have are public. And differently from the real world, they are recorded forever. Need to discuss sensitive stuff in private, switch to “private places” such as encrypted email, Signal, or Matrix based platforms like Element.

Now this post probably isnt complete, and flawed. So I welcome anyone who wants to build further from it.

Before too many people come in saying she needs a longer sentence just a quick reminder; The singular only reason she is serving time at all is because she stole money from other rich assholes. Had she just scammed the poor rubes likes us here as the top class is supposed to do she would probably still be on several boards and gotten press coverage as the “inspirational power woman who bounced back”.

Can you elaborate?

The mental image of me looking at a qr code on my phone screen, and only then wondering how I would catch that on the phone’s camera did make me laugh.

I know the topic of whether adblock is piracy is debated

Its not debated. Its bullshit.

flat earthers existing doesnt put the earth’s sensual curves up for debate either.

why nvida sprecifically?

as in, actual post originating from people using a lemmy based instance, or all fediverse ActivityPub entrances?

AskWomen felt to me like the kind of place where the mods always set out with clear and understandable intentions, but where the end results became less than the sum of its parts. They wanted to create a safe space and they had all the rights and arguments to do so. And they succeeded. And it became so safe that its practically living as a bubble-boy now.

I imagine a future where the youth raised on tiktok video’s matures and ask each other in six second max conversations over nuclear winter bbq’s where they were when the furry insurgents stormed the kremlin and ghadaffi’d putin.

I’m planning to go that route too. Does anyone know of good tools that allow me to download a list of my saved posts before I delete?

It’s an Android app for lemmy. I just checked, and if you’re primarily registered on kbin it isn’t possible yet to log in with that account. Might become so in the future. Fedilab is another android app that I’m keeping an eye on for future kbin support.
