Looking back, I think Lin Wood was an accelerationist. A lot of things make more sense when you look at it in that context.

Never apologize for what you believe

Compromising your beliefs is compromising yourself.

Compression causes more of a problem then encryption, different math calculations and all that. There is a performance impact, and with Intel CPU's you're more likely to see the issues, remember all those microcode security bugs that had to be patched? They impact encryption more then compression in most cases but not all.

So it fully makes a difference, but the differences are dependent on what had to be patched. A SSD won't make a huge dent in read/writes for either it's always waiting for the CPU/GPU to do the math crunching. Though some of the newer algorithms can be offloaded onto the video card via compute - that's fully dependent on "what" is being done.

Australia and India have a bilateral defense pact including base sharing. If China tries, they have India knocking on their door.

Now you've already stepped directly into material the 99.89% of people here won't get in the first place. If you're going to go all-in on the full threat landscape then the only viable solution is keeping it in your head, and hope they don't use a wrench on your kneecaps.

And if you're going that far, you're not using Windows either. On top of that you're running cipher as part of your shutdown and reboot scripts if you are using windows. Otherwise you're using something akin to Tails.

Encrypted flash drive storage does.

And yes, it is. You're used to working with people who have a surface level understanding, the same trap I used to fall into 25 years ago when I'd help people. Yes, computing has become far easier to use, and in some cases a "ON" and it works case makes it seem easier. Any type of deviation from that becomes complex.

u/Need4Pede has some solid advice.

I'll toss in my own too, since I do some work helping workmans comp people trying to get their settlements. Don't fuck around with this, the dr. appt is important. And if at any point, or even now if you're suffering from the classical signs of a concussion again don't screw around. Documentation is key in all of this, and any type of brain injury even something that doesn't show up now could impact you later.

Hope you're breaking out the fumigation gear, the amount of termites eating at the supports doesn't leave me with too much hope that it'll be fixed. And I don't see another Catholic Church vs Orthodox split happening anytime soon.

To be frank, if you're going for the non-technical explanation of this. Their best option is to simply store important information on a flash drive that auto-encrypts and requires 2FA and a pass-phrase challenge. Even filevault is beyond the most basic understanding of most people.

And to be clear, to most people filevault is the equivalent of PGP for regular email use in 2002.

Stores keys, authorizes keys using EK. That's a crypto co-processor as it's handling the core go-between. If you have no TPM, then you need to find another way to get the keys. The other options besides a flash drive, also include remote, and bootstrapping.

The bootstraping method you should be familiar with, since it's a double layered system. Allowing two different encryption methods across a single logical disk, or multiple logical disks.

Your recommendation doesn't make any sense. Your linked story would result in the same, since the HDD is encrypted. The case itself is far more troubling because it's a violation of the 5th.

As for bitlocker, it doesn't require a TPM. It'll use a TPM for on-the-fly decryption instead of handling it through the CPU though, if you've got a CPU that's fast enough(anything made in the last decade will do), you're not going to notice a difference anyway.

Society was built off the backs of mind altering substances. The fact that you don't even known your own history says a hell of a lot more than anything.

I can't even wait until you figure out where you went wrong on that screed.

Just because you have a feeling on something doesn't make it right either. That you had your wild days, and fail at the "do things in moderation" simply means you were a substance abuser just like the person who smokes a carton every day, or finishes off a micky before breakfast.

Bing is quite good, the fact that they'll pay you for searches if you agree to it is a bonus. I use it on my gaming machine just for that so I can pay for the kids Xbone pass for PC, I do enough searches on there just in my spare time to cover it every month.

Okay, but I'm not actually seeing the claims that said person made there. I'm seeing a list of possible privacy violations, that may or may not be true. Keeping in mind that it may not be a privacy violation if the data is anonymized. And several of the issues relating to censorship relate to the time when they were co-partnered with Yahoo, which means there may be a limitation clause.

So the person with no ties to intel agencies, who started the thing at home. Is running a intel project?

Sure you can cough up some solid proofs on that one.
