  • Do you know for sure that all traffic out of your devices is properly encrypted? Do you know for sure that non of your devices is listening on a port in an unsecured or vulnerable way?

    Realistically, a public WiFi is not that big of a deal as it used to be before almost everything moved to authenticated and encrypted protocols, but there are still plain protocols being used all the time (dns for example) and unless your devices are super up to date you will probably have some possible security issues.

    Given the choice you should use a private WiFi, second best is a VPN over a public WiFi, third is a plain public WiFi.

    We are past the days of connecting to an attacker controlled WiFi means you are owned, but you are still at a privacy risk and some security risk.







  • About as much as I trust other drivers on the road.

    As in I give it the benefit of the doubt but if something seems off I take precautions while monitoring and if it seems dangerous I do my best to avoid it.

    In reality it means that I rarely check it but if anything seems off I remove it and if I have the time and energy I further check the actual code.

    My general approach is minimalism, so I don’t use that many unknown/small projects to begin with.

    This. They measure these body changes and some idiots decided that these correlate perfectly with lies, but really they can correlate with plenty of things. They start with a base measurement where they ask you simple and verifiable questions such as your name, address, etc.

    Here are some legitimate reasons that can get you marked as a liar:

    • Getting nervous because you are being investigated.
    • An accusatory question gets you nervous
    • Panic attack
    • Physical discomfort, can be because of a long investigation.
    • A question agitates you
    • And more

    A polygraph can be useful to help uncover the truth as it can help investigators possibly find subjects that disturb you and could relate to lies.

    Calling a polygraph a lie detector is ignorant, malicious, stupid, or some combination of the above.

    P. S

    Good liars can fool polygraphs easily, like not even a complicated thing to learn.








  • How nice, live as the 0.0000001% that owns the world and make up most of the big evils in the world from the age of 34 to the age of 70 and then from 70 to 90 transition to the top 0.0001% and “not die rich”

    A real sacrifice, what a philanthropist, brave.

    I’m just here being a top 25% fully aware of my privilege for being born in a rich country and working in a well paying job, and I still donate more then him in terms of percentage of my net worth. (Bill gates donates about 0.8-1.6% of his net worth annually, I donate about 5-10% annually) and I truly believe that no one should be a billionaire.
