That’s your firmware and/or rEFInd’s fault. Tweaking flags for the Linux kernel will do nothing here.

What is inherently better about using GrapheneOS vs Other Privacy Focused ROMs?

I know that GrapheneOS has a lot of security features that make it basically impossible to compromise your phone. And that it has a lot of control over permissions and has some privacy features.

GrapheneOS has a lot of security features that make it basically impossible to compromise your phone

This is very dangerous thinking. No software is perfect; there are always ways to get in.

Now, in practice most people aren’t victims of targetted attacks and even devices with dozens of known local privilege escalation and remote code execution exploits won’t ever be attacked but those who will cannot rely on “x is basically impossible to compromise”. It takes layers and maintenance to actually be somewhat secure.

Is there a way to convert radiation from atomic decay into energy directly, the same way we do sunlight with a solar cell? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Mesh is terrible, don’t fall for it. It can get you at least some connectivity in the extended areas but it won’t be good connectivity.

The only actually good way to extend WiFi is to install access points and run cables to them.

Cables don’t necessarily need to be regular ethernet but that’s usually the best option. MOCA usually also works great. Powerline can be hit or miss, I’d only consider it a last resort and even then wouldn’t expect it to work well.

Because Microsoft manages Windows update, it’s not like a package manager in Linux.

Windows update is a package manager. It’s hot garbage (obviously) but its job is indeed to manage packages and their updates.

Drivers and other HW-related tools have been distributed via Windows Update for years now and it’s generally a good thing. Before M$ did this you had to plug in driver DVDs or scour the internet for drivers (ugh).

Any strategies for guessing a passphrase that I am missing one word of?

I forgot my Bitwarden password and I know most of the words, I am missing one word and I know the starting letter of of the word. Is there like a strategy to guessing passwords? Is there a program to assist in guessing passwords? I feel like guessing manually would take months.

Atemu ,
@Atemu@lemmy.ml avatar

you could start by using every word in the English dictionary that starts with that letter (would take you years)

On a mainframe from the 80s maybe.

The number of words is quite finite and the number of words in commonly used wordlists even more so. On the order of thousands maybe.

Given that they claim to know the starting letter, that should narrow it down to hundreds.

Even at multiple seconds per check that’d only be a few minutes.

The other wrench in this problem is that Bitwarden vaults are not readily able to be brute forced. I won’t go into the specifics, but passphrases are not stored in “plain text”, but rather in “hashes”, which is kind of like a “fingerprint” of a file in that every file has a unique “fingerprint”.

A simple hash does nothing to slow brute force. It’s the underlying mechanism to do any password verification at all and usually rather quick.

State of the art for master-passwords are PBKDFs such is argon2i which are basically a hash hashed again and that hashed again and so on such that you must do a high number of hash calculations in order to verify a password; each depending on the previous.
You choose the number of iterations in a way that is still relatively quick to do in human terms but rather lengthy in computer terms (hundreds of ms to a few seconds). Every time you enter the master pw your computer runs through this PBKDF and you probably don’t even notice.

This does indeed “slow down” brute force attacks a good bit in relative terms but in this case the difference is inconsequential in absolute terms.

Bitwarden won’t let you constantly slam your vault stored on their servers with brute-force password attempts.

I don’t know about BW limitations in this regard but depending on whether @WtfEvenIsExistence is still logged in on any of their devices, they might be irrelevant because you don’t need to interact with any of BW’s servers even once to crack your own password. BW works offline if you have logged in once which implies that the pubkey, salt and whatever else is required to verify the password and unlock the vault are available locally.

Atemu ,
@Atemu@lemmy.ml avatar

How did you generate this password? Which wordlist did you use?

I’d first extract all words with the starting letter from that list and simply take a look at them; whether any of them jog my memory.

Are you still logged into any BW client on any of your devices (or have such a state contained in a backup)?

Why don't I see the newer phones in the Lineage OS list?

Atemu ,
@Atemu@lemmy.ml avatar

No OEM to my knowledge provides BLOBs publicly.

LineageOS instead extracts these from the official ROM.

RE and/or shimming only need to happen when those BLOBs become incompatible with newer versions of Android.

The actual task of a maintainer is to configure the rather generic AOSP/LOS to work with the device’s specifics and integrate device-specific components.

For a few simpler examples, it must be configured which of a device’s SIM slots (if any) are eSIMs, which brightness values the device’s light sensor is expected to return, where the device has a fingerprint sensor (if it has one), the dimensions of the notch cutout and many other such things.

I’d see this to be implemented in Lemmy itself. Hashtags are a global thing, not instance-specific, and should already be available to Lemmy via AP.

Lemmy would “just” need the ability to display a hashtag as a “community” containing posts made under that hashtag. Question is what to do with replies but given Lemmys design, they could probably simply be left out because, if it’s truly on-topic, the post will likely contain the hashtag too and therefore land in the hashtag “community”.

Atemu ,
@Atemu@lemmy.ml avatar

I was being a bit unclear here, what I meant was that replies mentioning a hashtag shouldn’t show up as posts in its pseudo-community; only posts. Replies to a post with a hashtag would show up regardless of content.
