Simple guide towards mail privacy in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 51 minutes ago* (last edited 16 minutes ago)

I feel like email is the one option where "total privacy" is either difficult or impossible to get secure, because the relay/service stores a copy and the receiver accesses that copy. If either of them are insecure or otherwise able to be configured to be no longer fully-private (e.g. ProtonMail), your efforts at private email are rendered moot.

Something is certainly better than nothing in this regard, but it seems to me that if you truly need secure communication, you should be using an E2EE chat app with local-only storage.

Edit: Saw your edit. Wiki sounds good to me.

Maybe we should rethink if wolves are the best choice for the job then, eh?

No, because there's areas where deer are so prolific that they're considered pests. I knew many hunters in one such area, and nobody fed the deer, because it would have been costly and pointless.

Resist. Learn about your vulnerable neighbors. Join an ICE Watch.

Whoever wrote that obviously never lived in an area with deer hunters.

And if you really want to disconnect, leave your phone at home. Bring a map for directions (if you need it) and a disposable camera for pictures.

It's worth it!

Penultimate Build (pixey.org)
 

cross-posted from: https://reddthat.com/post/32967733

I said I'd post photos when I got everything working, so here's my penultimate build!

It's penultimate, because I need to get an active cooler for the NVME drive nestled above the GPU, but otherwise, this build is basically in its final form.

What's the proper etiquette with multiple-day contractors? (reddthat.com)
 

My SO and I have some contractors coming out to install new windows throughout our home. They will be here for around two days.

SO says that when they were growing up in the Deep South, it was expected that you would provide lunch for the workers if it was a multi-day job. Is that still a thing? What's the proper etiquette in Texas?

Had to upgrade my CPU cooler. Found this comparison of the heights of the Phantom Spirit 120 SE vs Normal/EVO. (reddthat.com)
 

cross-posted from: https://reddthat.com/post/32123809

My Big Shuriken 3 isn't really sufficient for my new 5700X3D, even with undervolting, so I'm upgrading to the Phantom Spirit 120 SE. I've seen elsewhere that some people claim that the SE and the Normal/EVO versions are the same height, and the 154mm height noted by Thermalright is coldplate to fin.

Well, here's what seems to me to be definitive proof that the SE is indeed shorter than its capped siblings. The 154mm seems to be coldplate to pipe tip. Note that this is not my image; I'm just sharing for anyone's future reference.

The new cooler will be going into an NR200 (non-P, non-Max), and it will be paired with the aforementioned CPU on a Gigabyte B550I Aorus Pro AX. It seems to be the same overall shape and tower offset as the Peerless Assassin, so I'm expecting it to fit similarly. Will post pictures when everything is installed and working.

A Letter From the Editor (of The Devil's Panties, a webcomic mostly about mortgages apparently) (thedevilspanties.com)
 

A brilliant, introspective summary of how single-issue voting got us here and how it won't save anyone.

The system sucks, but please, be pragmatic. Vote for Harris, hold the Dems accountable, and donate to STAR and Ranked Choice Voting initiatives in your area to avoid this dilemma in the future.

Twenty years ago, I made a choice that left the world a distorted echo of what it could be.

Twenty years from now, you too will reap what you sow.

Supreme Court declines Biden’s appeal in Texas emergency abortion case (apnews.com)
 

The "Pro-Life" Party, everyone. SMH

Meanwhile...

At a campaign event over the weekend in Fort Worth, Texas, hundreds of Allred’s supporters broke out in raucous applause when he vowed to protect a woman’s right to an abortion. “When I’m in the Senate, we’re going to restore Roe v. Wade,” Allred said.

Please vote, y'all. There's more at stake than just a presidency.

State constitutional rights to abortion are on the ballot in Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Maryland, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New York, Nevada, and South Dakota.

Idaho, Iowa, Kentucky, Missouri, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, and Wisconsin have initiatives on the ballot to ban noncitizens from voting. It's already illegal, but the initiatives will probably be used to harass and disenfranchise minorities and activists, if they pass.

Colorado, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, Washington, D.C., Alaska, and Missouri will vote to adopt or prohibit ranked choice voting.

Alaska, California, Massachusetts, and Missouri will vote to adopt a $15-18 minimum wage.

And so on. Ballotpedia has a complete list.

Go register to vote, or check your registration if you've already registered.

Will I need to overclock RAM again? (reddthat.com)
 

I'm saving up to get a 5700X3D around Christmas, upgrading from a 5600G, but I want to make sure I prepare properly before I do the swap.

The RAM I bought couldn't match the C18 @ 4000 M/Ts advertised and still remain stable, but I managed to manually overclock to C16 @ 3666. Should I drop to JDEC specs before I upgrade, or is it a non-issue?

Are we falling behind Lemmy.World again? (reddthat.com)
 

I noticed that a lot of the posts from Lemmy.World are showing with few or no votes, and often no comments. Going to the actual post shows votes and comments.

Did something change with how we/they sync up?
