I like and encourage encryption, especially with communications.

But the thought process below is worth considering when it comes to encrypting your own storage.

@gabriel fundamentally, the issue is that the data requires code execution to access, and that code will require the key material.

A drive that allowed you to approve access levels/modes, and used bio-metric to confirm your identity, I think would be closer to the ideal.

I had the chance to talk with an Offensive Security penetration team, and they more or less told me that, their time in Africa made them realize that, in a physical environment, the person will always be the weak link. (aka rubber hose attack)

And, personally, if I sit down and think about it, I buy very little privacy or protection from encrypting. But, I lose performance, and make the possibility of losing access to my own data much higher.

Prior to the war with Iran, all polls concluded that he would fail to secure the seats necessary to form a government. The poll claims he would win 62 seats.

The war with Iran has increased the popularity of both #Netanyahu & #Likud Party, while decreasing support for the war in #Gaza

Israeli settlers went on a rampage in the town of Kufr Malek, northeast of Ramallah, killing three Palestinians. The attack is the latest in an escalating wave of settler pogroms against Palestinian communities between the Jordan Valley and Ramallah.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- GE Appliances announced a nearly half-billion-dollar project Thursday that it says will create 800 new jobs and shift production of clothes washers from China to its massive manufacturing complex in Kentucky.

The $490 million investment positions the Kentucky home appliances company to rank as the biggest U.S. manufacturer of washing machines, it said.

I'm trying not to to be an asshole about it. She knows my stance and I'm not budging. That said, I don't throw it in her face. In fact, I only told her once that I won't do the vow renewal until she quits. We have an otherwise perfect marriage.

We haven't had the vape conversation, but I'm not in favor of that either. You don't quit drinking by switching from beer to vodka. I honestly don't know how I would feel about her switching to vape. I hate the smell of her addiction but that's not my biggest issue. I hate the effect on her health but that's not the complete picture either. I hate the concept of a smoking addiction. It's not my identity, and I don't want it to be the identity of us as a couple. We are blue collar AF, but I still feel like her smoking diminishes us.

I used to be proud of her for quitting and staying quit. Now I'm not anymore.

That identity thing seems counterproductive. The way addictions works, you generally kind of stay addicted indefinitely even if you manage to quit and stay off the substance forever. And in contrast to beer vs. vodka, vapes are healthier than cigarettes - even if that doesn't actually change anything for you, it's definitely better for her.

Facebook started out as a college kiddo platform. Then rapidly aging females started creating accounts to helicopter mom over their kiddos away at uni. By 2011, FB had become a service for middle aged Females to show off status with photos of grand kids, vacations, newly bought houses, and then of themselves.

Younger females opted for Instagram, which, itself, as become almost a soft core version of OnlyFans and (P)orn Hub.

Islamic doctrine does not merely limit women's rightsโ€”it annihilates their sense of self-worth from the very beginning. The Quranic Sura 2:282: "A woman's testimony is worth half a man's," and Sura 4:34: "Men are in charge of women... and if they disobey, beat them," are not just verses; they are the foundation of a system built on the dehumanization of women. Girls are taught from their earliest years that they are inherently worth less than men. In court, their testimony is diminished; in marriage, their obedience is mandatory; in society, their rebellion is met with sanctioned violence. Even in Islamic communities in the West, forced and arranged marriagesโ€”often between first cousinsโ€”result in severe health issues like congenital disabilities while also sustaining a culture of honor killings, child marriage, and the systematic imprisonment of women within their own homes.

The most insidious aspect of this oppression is that it breeds its callous enforcers. Women do not simply endure this systemโ€”they uphold it, enforce it, and ensure that it perpetuates. Mothers force their daughters under the hijab before they can even understand their choice. They pressure their sons to dominate their wives, training them from childhood to be emotionally detached tyrants. Older women, robbed of autonomy their entire lives, redirect their frustration by policing younger women's sexuality. Mothers-in-law establish their dominance in the household by abusing their daughters-in-law, a cycle of cruelty passed down like a curse.

And yet, many of these women who have been conditioned to defend their oppression flee to the West, not for freedom but for security, economic stability, and the benefits of a civilization built by the values they despise. They arrive, settle in isolated parallel societies, and refuse to integrate, carrying their submission like a family heirloom. They raise their sons with the same entitlement and their daughters with the same chains, forcing their little girls into hijabs in countries where child veiling should be considered abuse. They demand the West accommodate their imported gender apartheid and cry "Islamophobia" when faced with even the slightest pushback.

The abhorrent prime minister of #Canada #MarkCarney (or Mark Carnage) had the audacity to say that he was supportive of working on "a path towards establishing a 'Zionist' Palestinian state"!!! ๐Ÿคฏ

A "Zionist" Palestinian state?!!! He wants a state for Palestinians who put the interests of those who inflicted unimaginable suffering onto them on top of their own interests!

Mark Carney is without a doubt a Netanyahu slave, a foreign agent, "if you will".

"The mental contortions these Western leaders put themselves through on behalf of the Israeli regime is remarkable.

People who don't admit they have hearing loss are annoying. No, I'm not talking quietly - everyone else can hear me. Get your ears checked, pick up your hearing aid, and stop saying "what? what?"

And certainly don't suggest we go someplace noisy to continue the conversation.

Should probably get your eyes checked while you are at it. Those are probably not at their peak either.
