Sanctioned killings are authorized by a government representative, which indemnifies the killer. Murder is by definition unsanctioned, hence those are not the same.

[-] viking@infosec.pub -2 points 21 hours ago

Yes. An unsanctioned killing is murder, no matter what.

You need professional help before your delusions drive you completely over the edge. Seriously.

I have no idea what sign I am. Never cared, was never asked.

That one is not hard evidence though, for example delivery drivers from FedEx in my area send text messages from their actual phones announcing an upcoming delivery.

The messages are still standardized, so I'm assuming they are company phones and send pre-programmed messages from templates, but if I call that number, I'll actually speak to the person handling my delivery.

Whatever my wife feels like, assuming she's the one to survive me. I don't hold any religious beliefs demanding me to do something specific with my body, so I'll leave it to her to decide.

Should she be passing before me, I'd just want to be cremated and scattered somewhere in the most cost efficient way to not affect anyone's finances.

Moin zusammen,

Als ich letztes Jahr reddit den Rücken zugekehrt hab, habe ich sämtliche Posts und Kommentare via shreddit überschrieben, und im Anschluss meinen Account "unwiederruflich" gelöscht.

Hin und wieder lande ich via google mal in diversen reddit-communities, gerade wenn es um Nischenthemen geht, wie jetzt als mich ein Kumpel nach meiner alten Espressomaschine gefragt hat und ich ihm einen Link zum Hersteller raussuchen wollte.

Bin dann also hier gelandet: https://www.reddit.com/r/Coffee/comments/4trskb/best_budget_espresso_machines_im_hooked_on_flat/d5jp1rr/ - definitiv mein Kommentar, besitze ebendiese Maschine, jetzt seit exakt 10 Jahren (2 Jahre vor dem 8 Jahre alten Kommentar, Preis passt, etc.). Ich erinnere mich auch noch, ihn verfasst zu haben.

Hab dann noch in ein paar anderen communities nachgeschaut wo ich aktiv war, und auch da gab's einiges von mir, allerdings nicht so eindeutig nachvollziehbar.

Habt ihr ne Idee, was ich DSGVO/GDPR-mäßig tun könnte?

Happy Monday!

How was your weekend? Any plans, milestones, major dread or whatever else you want to share coming up in the week ahead?

And how are you generally?

Firefox my beloved.

Since it's been kind of weekly since 8+ weeks... Maybe start this thread again?

Not a moderator or anything (nor trying to be one), but I liked this community on reddit and would be sad to see it die.

Hallo zusammen,

Ich hab mein Depot bei FlatEx und bin damit an sich sehr zufrieden, aber jetzt stelle ich mir die Frage, ob sich dahingehend eine Diversifikation anbietet?

Bei der DKB als Hausbank hab ich ebenfalls ein Depot, aber da sind nur noch Karteileichen von vor 15 Jahren drin; irgendwelche endfälligen Zertifikate bis 203x, bei denen die Verkaufsspesen höher wären als jegliche Rendite.

Jetzt möchte ich gerne meine Anlagestrategie ein bisschen diversifizieren und zu dem ETF-Portfolio gerne kurzläufige Staatsanleihen kaufen. DACH mit kleiner Rendite, max 1 Jahr ab Kaufdatum, nix wildes.

Hintergrund ist, dass ich ggfs. in den nächsten 6-24 Monaten Geld brauche um ein Haus anzuzahlen; gleichzeitig aber das Volumen die Einlagensicherung übersteigt, sonst hätte ich es einfach auf's Tagesgeld gepackt oder Festgelder regelmäßig verlängert, das geht nun leider nicht.

Jetzt die eigenltiche Frage: Bei Flatex würde ich für diese Order knapp 4 Euro zahlen, bei der DKB 32,50 Euro. Sollte ich früher verfügen müssen und entsprechend nochmal verkaufen, ergo das doppelte (Endfälligkeit ist kostenlos).

Eigentlich ja ein no-brainer, 28,50/57 Euro zu sparen; aber bietet es sich eurer Meinung nach an, hier denoch das Ausfallrisiko auch über 2 Broker zu verteilen?

Danke im Voraus!

To avoid such issues in the future, CrowdStrike should prioritize rigorous testing across all supported configurations.

Bold of them to assume there's a future after a gazillion off incoming lawsuits.

Hi all,

First off: Can't switch to Linux, Windows is a work requirement. Please spare me.

With that out of the way, here's my problem:

Since 2-3 days I've been seeing ads disguised as a minimized video player popup on my Windows 10 Login Screen image.

Initially I thought I might have been watching something on youtube and forgot to close the tab and it autoplayed in the background until reaching this stuff by chance; but that turned out not to be the case (I'm also using Firefox exclusively, which I thought wouldn't integrate with Windows, but I wasn't 100% sure on that end).

I tried to research this a bit, but the only similar case I found was in an old reddit thread saying that some Windows update installed the LinkedIn App for them, which is not the case here.

Antivirus (Bit Defender) and Malwarebytes both give me a clean report.

So I did some more digging and right click that thing with my firewall set to deny all to figure out where this is taking me, and surprise...

Image

There's a total of 100 connection attempts from Windows Search to around 10 different IP addresses, all of which belong to Microsoft.

I have not installed any updates in the last 14 days, no new software, and have not changed any system settings.

What did change is that I am currently not in China, where I normally live, but am on a business trip to Malaysia, where a bunch of services that are blocked in China might be accessible, and are now splicing in those (somewhat disguised) ads.

Does this happen to anyone else, and if so, do you have an idea how to get rid of it?

Thanks a lot in advance!

Dear all,

Since feddit.de has fallen into disrepair by its administrations, some of the fine folks over here have started feddit.org as a second home.

Like most (all?) feddit.de communities, we have now launched !germany@feddit.org (or alternatively https://feddit.org/c/germany, if your instance hasn't federated the community yet) to continue talking about all things Germany, in English.

Welcome to join us over there!

Hi all,

Just updated FF to 124.0.1 and now the whatsapp web view is broken. The text input field is somewhere in the upper third of the screen and in the background, overlayed by text boxes so that I can't actually select it. It's automatically selected when switching from one chat to another so I can type there, but only blind in most cases since any comment boxes overlap it.

Tried restarting, clearing cookies, re-authenticating, disabling all plugins, nothing worked.

Does anyone experience something similar and/or know a workaround?

Thanks!

Edit: Fixed by logging out of whatsapp web, clearing cookies, restarting the browser, and then logging back in. Neither of the steps had worked on its own previously, but the combination did the trick.

Childfree Chatter (infosec.pub)
submitted 9 months ago by viking@infosec.pub to c/childfree@lemmy.world

Hi all,

As our community is still small and not overly active, I thought instead of trying to have a weekly or monthly chatter thread up as a sticky, we could try a perpetual one and see what happens.

So anything you feel doesn't warrant a post of its own, just put it here.

Cheers and take care!

Lawyer time. At will, maybe. But you've been assaulted on the job, are now suffering from severe anxiety (right???), and got fired on top of it? They'll eat your boss for breakfast and get a nice severance package out of it.

Hi all,

Need to pick your brains for a bit regarding best practices for handling of account recovery issues while traveling.

Premise would be that my phone gets lost or stolen, and I may not have easy access to my laptop either, and being in a foreign country I couldn't easily get a copy of the original SIM to restore via OTP.

Consequently, I also don't really love the idea of using some password manager with a master password and no F2A.

Under those circumstances, what would you consider the best way forward to ensure accessibility without crippling myself in the process?

The only thing I can come up with is a random subdomain on one of my domains, with random username and random password, where I store an encrypted container containing txt-files. Maybe even further obscured with a random cypher (all numbers / letters shifted x positions to the right or something).

But there's gotta be other use-cases out there, so I was wondering what you are using?

Ideally something that doesn't involve another person.

Thanks!

Hi all,

I've got a bit of a spam issue that isn't solved by either keyword or actual spam filter. The problem is that I'm in China and mass email marketing here is acceptable for some reason, so local spam filters don't catch the perps, and international ones are useless based on the language.

And since I'm in a customer/supplier facing role, quite a few genuine mails use the same keywords as the spammers, so that doesn't work to fix my problem.

However, the mails are usually sent to hundreds of people at once, all with their mail addresses in plain view in CC.

So I'd just like to set up a filter to send mails with >100 recipients or something like that straight to trash, but can't seem to find it in the outlook rule settings.

Does anyone know of a useful workaround?

Thanks!
