@StandardHelp @StandardNotes When I try to sign out, I get scary messages about 4 unsynced items that will be lost forever. When I try to force a sync, nothing happens. Suggestions?

If you’re a long time Standard Notes user signed into the legacy sync.standardnotes.org server, please sign out of your account then back in to avoid syncing disruption. Signing in will automatically default to the latest and correct up-to-date server.

@MalwareJake @hacks4pancakes Vulnerability in depth.

If this is the way the Parler hack actually went down, it’s a fantastic case study in cascading security failures.

@IanColdwater Relax, people. This is just Big Coldwater promoting their brand

@violetblue Your bad attitude is sustaining in these hard times. Thanks for your roundups, your guides, your todays, your postcards, for sharing your struggles and Sam and Max

New by me, Cybersecurity Roundup: in which I lament the bad-at-crime Trump cyber-sideshow, and congratulate the CEO of Coinbase for trying to be Mark Zuckerberg. Also, more of my bad attitude: patreon.com/posts/cybersec…

@TheAuthorGuy So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into Four Seasons Total Landscaping.

He was an old man who fished alone in a skiff in Four Seasons Total Landscaping and he had gone 84 days without catching a fish.

Was criticized today for “taking sides” by reminding people to vote. If encouraging people to vote is taking sides, at least I know I’ve taken the right one. #VOTE

@The_Mi_ke @cybergibbons Once planned to buy an ostentatious safe on eBay for my medical office. Fill it with rocks/concrete. Add a big label: Narcotics Only

@cybergibbons Better off digging a hole in the garden and burying your valuables. Have a big heavy safe in your house with nothing in it.

@SwiftOnSecurity clonezilla: OS agnostic sector-by-sector hard drive (or SSD) clones

What are some good utilities/tools that you don't think other people know about? They can be commercial.

@SwiftOnSecurity Nah, it’s just the absence of the cleaning crew disconnecting racks to plug in their vacuums.

Undersea datacenter dulled with nitrogen has failure rate 1/8th of land-based systems. Good reminder oxygen is a a ridiculously dangerous nightmare chemical killing everything we build that humans breathe for fun. bbc.com/news/technolog…

@hacks4pancakes and you thought landlord-controlled _locks_ were bad: gizmodo.com.au/2020/09/amazon…

@EFF More important, but harder to see, are the lawsuits you never had to file because the potential miscreants, knowing you were out there, chose to behave.

EFF has prevailed in lawsuits against the federal government, the FCC, the world's largest entertainment companies, and major electronics companies, among others. Take a look at some of our most recent victories: eff.org/victories

@AletheDenis Grats!!

@corbden @RellimMij @EatLiquidGold @violetblue OMG Violet Blue Velveeta — the Velveeta of bleu!

We are in a relationship now I hope you can all respect what happens between a girl and her cheese twitter.com/EatLiquidGold/…

@SwiftOnSecurity Relevant XKCD: xkcd.com/2335/

Which is more secure: - US dollar made from unique cotton paper impregnated with 3D security strip, watermark, microprinting, duplication protection patterns, and holographic markers - A Bitcoin you can copy on a floppy that doesn’t work without electricity Checkmate coinbros

@AletheDenis Used to keep a toll-free number through a different SIP trunking provider for redundancy. Toll-free because otherwise customers got confused about which number they should use and wondered why we had two.

@duckduckgo Google's 8.8.8.8 is returning 40.89.244.232 for duckduckgo.com here, which times out. Quad9 (9.9.9.9) and other DNS resolvers seem to work fine.

@sonyasupposedly Your mails are the best!

@AletheDenis The eagle has landed. Now I just need to figure out how to most effectively tell Alexa to go f&@k herself. I'd love to just shear off the mic, but that might just pooch the whole device. Maybe hot glue? Root it and deactivate that portion of the software? #helpmehackthehub

@DoctorRon @SwiftOnSecurity The medical profession has this idea that faxing is "more secure" than email. That everyone forced to deal with them uses an email to fax service never occurs to them.

A vendor is asking for a scanned signature on a document. Maybe they should think about this a little harder.
