First wholesome Vaporeon meme.

Is that what was wrong here?

[–] user224@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Am I missing something or are you conflating two different issues? Why isn’t anyone saying anything about this.

The issue was choosing a password, which not being a single word, my mom ended up forgetting. That part is security. The privacy part comes with my father arguing that setting a more complicated password is stupid because they have nothing to hide.
Plus he mentioned usage of Google Photos backup system, which in this case wouldn't really be secured. But he says the photos also aren't private, because it's just photos made in public and old photos of me as a kid (which I hoped he lost with his old phone).

Well, actually, about that.
According to DSM-5, which is basically the thing for diagnostic criteria in the US:

Pedophilic disorder


302.2 (F65.4)


  • A. Over a period of at least 6 months, recurrent, intense sexually arousing fantasies, sexual urges, or behaviors involving sexual activity with a prepubescent child or children (generally age 13 years or younger).
  • B. The individual has acted on these sexual urges, or the sexual urges or fantasies cause marked distress or interpersonal difficulty.
  • C. The individual is at least age 16 years and at least 5 years older than the child or children in Criterion A.

Note: Do not include an individual in late adolescence involved in an ongoing sexual relationship with a 12- or 13-year-old.

Specify whether:

  • Exclusive type (attracted only to children)
  • Nonexclusive type

Specify if:

  • Sexually attracted to males
  • Sexually attracted to females
  • Sexually attracted to both

Specify if:

  • Limited to incest

So it does generally include 13.

Edit: Improved formatting (trying to copy the book).

I was thinking of Android, and whatever some apps may be doing. They should already be pretty limited in what they can do, so it might be forced to just read the clipboard from time to time and hope you don't notice (android now shows pop-up when something reads clipboard).

[–] user224@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 3 days ago (2 children)

in which case you’ve lost before you even started.

And once I came across even better limitation. "Only English characters and numbers are permitted. Passwords are case-insensitive."
OK, the last one wasn't actually mentioned, but I just found out the case didn't matter either.

[–] user224@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 3 days ago (5 children)

Is there something that would perhaps also work on Android? Also, how do you move the passwords from password manager into the fields? My problem with clipboard is that anything can read it. Of course, that means there has to be something to exfiltrate the data, but 1 problem is better than 2.

As far as I know, the thing is that randomly chosen words will be more secure because there's simply too many words. However, sentences will be more predictable. And a single word will give quick access to someone with a sufficient wordlist.

Honestly, I don't remember what exactly my recommendation was, just that I recommended against something quite simple (common word), and that she shouldn't tell me or anyone else what it is.

Edit: but I am not a professional, so don't use me for advice.

 

Just came up with my father again.
He blames me that mother forgot her phone's and Google password because I recommended against it being a word.
I mentioned encryption, "not necessary unless you're doing something illegal".
When mentioning lack of privacy with targeted advertisements, he said that he actually really likes them, because he bought a couple of things he wanted for years.

I don't really have good arguments.

Hey now, that also works for the region of penile frenulum.

[–] user224@lemmy.sdf.org 25 points 3 days ago (4 children)

I think you're forgetting femboys.

[–] user224@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 5 days ago

OK, you explained it well to me with the car example. I am not a car person, all I know about them is they can usually move, but I am not really interested to learn more.

I actually thought I was having issues with Debian. I was only getting like 6 - 8 updates when I tried to do them, even after a longer period of time. I kept searching around how to update Debian properly, but found no good answer.
Then something like 2 months later there was a large number of updates at once. So it is working then, huh.

 

Domain names seem expensive in comparison. The cheaper VPS that I use for playing around is just $10.29/year.
I thought I'd get a domain name from RackNerd as well, but they're $24.95/year + I think $4.99 for privacy.

I've checked Namecheap, and that seemed great, until I found that renewal prices are often through the roof.

I don't really care about it being nice. For now, mostly I just want to use the VPS as image host for Lemmy, since Imgur and Catbox are both a bit problematic.
And without a domain name, the images only show as link posts in the default LemmyUI (though it seems to work elsewhere). Plus it makes migration impossible.

 

Yeah, they overlap since I did whole hour (120 30-second codes). I didn't know specific time, so it's 2 pages, 3 hours, 42 minutes and 30 seconds.

People often find it odd when I say I don't play PC games, but it seems rather complicated (and also expensive) to me.

I mean, I enjoyed it back when I had friends with PS, but I never had to set up anything myself. Searching around it seems rather... overwhelming, and I don't know if it's actually the case.

  1. PC seems most versatile, and with the prices, I considered piracy, but I would need a separate computer for security. Hell, I wouldn't even trust the device firmware on it afterwards.
  2. So I considered maybe paying the amounts, but I went to check some games and lo and behold, kernel-level anti-cheat. Great, so pirated games might even have less malware in the end.
  3. Since I'd need a separate device anyway, how about getting a PlayStation. With a disc drive, I want to be able to go future proof and fully offline. Well, about that... apparently it needs to verify the disc drive online. For what? It's a BluRay drive, either it works or it doesn't. And then I heard another shitty thing, "most games are released almost unplayable and need updates right away". So they just release Alpha quality software on the most permanent medium???

So that just sounds like shitty experience no matter what. How is it actually? I'd expect consoles to be least buggy and fully future proof.
The only thing I ever had was a $4 NES bootleg console from AliExpress, Contra was glitched out and Battletank unplayable because they forgot the select button, but ok, $4.

And it always causes issues.

Anyway, I hope the main joke got spotted too.
Let's Encrypt now does IP certs: https://letsencrypt.org/2026/01/15/6day-and-ip-general-availability

Certbot doesn't seem to be up to the task yet, but lego works.

But I'll probably change it to some image host later, because I have no idea what I am doing.

Why does it not work... It embeds when creating the post.

Seems fine too, it's HTTPS after all, should work.

OK, seems that it's just the default LemmyUI that doesn't like it, which is strange for the number of pict-rs requests in access.log.
Also by the number of 429, 5r/s is probably too low. Was. Anyway...
OR, that's why there is the burst option. Right.

 
 

According to the prosecution, Glukhikh searched for pictures of Azov insignia on Google while he was on the bus on the morning of 24 September, though how the security forces had been made aware of the search was not disclosed.

The case materials include an image of Glukhikh’s phone lying on the table, clearly displaying the search query he is accused of making.

Bruh...

Sorry for the Imgur link, catbox wasn't loading as image, just as a link again: https://files.catbox.moe/j3a7cl.PNG

 

Approximately EUR 8 including shipping. Still sealed (probably - if not re-sealed).
There's definitely some more stuff in the box like a manual and driver disc that I can hear moving around. After all, the boxes are fairly large compared to what you'd get today.

I'd want to unpack them... but I also don't because they survived so long. I don't know. Maybe if I'll get yet another one...

Here's a look at the entire box:

Specs:
Bluetooth 1.2 Class 1
USB 1.1

Minimum requirements:
300MHz CPU
128MB RAM
Windows 98SE

So what about the Class 1?
Typically the devices you use are Class 2 with Tx power of up to 2.5mW and range of around 10m.
Class 1 can go up to 100mW with range of around 100m. Assuming both ends are same class. Otherwise you're just causing more interference on 2.4GHz.

It also has an external antenna giving it some cool factor.
