A little bit of perspective from Finland, as a neighbour of Russia. We have suffered from old landmines, so we are pretty familiar with the downsides. Finland joined the Ottawa Treaty in 2012. That has been largely seen as a mistake. If we would deploy mines in a new war, the locations would be documented well so that they could be disarmed with no harm to our civilians. And as a small country, we are not going to invade any other country and leave mines there after a war.

So there isn't really any benefit to our civilians. But we lost one cost effective way to defend against an aggressive neighbour who has superior numbers of people to send as cannon fodder.

First at least make sure the poor sod does not have a family!

Bad news mate. WW3 already started a while ago. The world is essentially in a proxy war against Russia.

I concur. I hope this goes to court and the judge throws those patents out.

Is there anything for Linux, that would use your ISPs nameservers, but fall back to use other DNS for blocked domains?

Stop wasting time on useless features, Google, and give us back call recording.

You can start with dpigs. Then start marking packages automatically installed with apt-mark. aptitude may be a good frontend when removing a lot of packages, you can mark entire categories, like libraries, as automatically installed.

Pay attention to the package headers when removing packages. You don't want to remove essential packages.

This would be illegal in EU now, at least if the BT addresses or car plates were logged.

The Linux kernel would maintain a list of the latest Intel microcode versions for each CPU family, which is based on the data from the Intel microcode GitHub repository. In turn this list would need to be kept updated with new Linux kernel releases and as Intel pushes out new CPU microcode files.

Sounds like that would be outdated for everyone without a rolling distro.

I'm out of the loop. Is Poland considered to have a strong army?

Are there any recent Android models that have native call recording enabled in EU?

I will root the phone if necessary, but considering that Google is closing the platform down even more by making custom/rooted ROMs fail security checks, I would prefer to avoid that.

How would you protect files of a VPS (Virtual Private Server) from snooping by the service provider?

 

Many projects ask to share lots of logs when reporting issues. It's difficult to go through all the logs and redact informarion such as usernames, environment variabled etc.

Any ideas on how to anonymize logs before sharing? Change your username to something generic?
