Correct, that’s why I mentioned “crossing borders”


Use it themselves

That’s why a Yubikey is a 2nd factor. You still also need a password which you are not legally bound to divulge (in the US). Additionally if you uninstall your pw manager in advance they may see you have a key but they don’t know what it belongs to.


Thanks for the suggestions. Here is what I’m probably gonna do:

  • Upgrade BitWarden to premium
  • move my TOTP codes into there
  • Get a Yubikey for 2FA for it
  • Keep a second 2FA TOTP option available in case I lose the key

Then all I’ll need to do is reinstall it, and log in with the master password and key and be good for any of my sites.


Traveling internationally (question)
So I’ll be traveling in such a way that I’ll be crossing the US border. I want to take a burner phone so I can wipe it, or have innocuous enough data. The problem: all my passwords are stored in a password manager that uses 2FA tied to my primary phone which will be sitting at home (along with other sites that use 2FA tied to authenticators on my phone). So remembering passwords is out. And not having access to 2FA presents a catch-22. So what’s the best way to approach that?

One of the reasons I actually like Apple Pay (besides the convenience) is the fact that it randomly tokenizes your information so stores can’t track you as easily. That’s why the push for loyalty programs so they can continue to track you where they can’t by card anymore.


Why in the world are you using company resources on a personal device? You should always seperate the two for your own peace of mind as well as privacy.


Are there any search engine aggregators which can pull the top X sites from multiple locations and display them on a single page?


Freeze your credit

I don’t know if it’s the same in the EU, but this is the single biggest thing you can do to protect yourself (I mean besides passwords and such). Freezing your credit makes it much hard to open a line of credit under your name like a random store credit card or such. Please try to do this as soon as you can.


I’m glad I am on their older version. Their recent update was a shit show. They removed: sleep timer, queue management, access to music on a NAS… you know, all things I bought the product for. And then they’re announcing adding them back like it’s a good thing they’re doing. “We listened…!”


For starters, don’t use é anytime you say resume. It may be correct but it gives the impression that you’re pretentious. Resumes are all about a first impression and what you can do.


I think there’s a difference between “generic ads we show you to support our platform” and “we’re selling your data to other people to give us revenue, so you have to offset that loss”. The latter involves your privacy around data which is the target.


Ironically I used to use BO for actual system work…. And one time to prank the hell out of my worker by playing sounds remotely.


“Now the execution / collection would be a bitch”. That’s my point. It’s basically unenforceable as they would have to go after every federated instance on the internet, including knowing every single person that spun up their own instance, so basically this law would be pointless. It’s better leveraged against companies, not small individual entities, so good luck utilizing it.


And for any of those “processors” outside of the EU? Good luck. I could stand up a processor anywhere outside the EU, get all of the feed data and 1) good luck finding it, me, or where it’s at. And 2) removing it. There’s no centralized authority to fine.


Unless he gets a direct request he’s not bound by the requests other instances get. Which actually brings up something interesting. Because of the way the data is shared, someone wanting to delete data would have to contact all instances one by one which is function impossible.
