At best, it proves only that they are selective on who are allowed on BCC list, it doesn't prove that BCC list is empty.

I trust Meta in this case because of this. Do you think that they will threaten to leave the most populous country in the world if end-to-end encryption could be circumvented? And BTW, it's up to you to prove that what they say isn't true, not...

They tried to pull that on us, secure end-to-end encryption, which they meant was from you to the server and server to target. Only this tiiiny place in the middle was unencrypted, but otherwise... If I remember correctly, they got a lot of...

Do you use FreeBSD on metal as your daily driver? Yes, I do. FreeBSD only since June 2024. Which version? I will remain on 14.3 because 15.0 is unusable on my laptop because of a nvme regression introduced in the 15.0 cycle. What DE or WM do you...

in case of email, BCC would be even better example (don't even need to encrypt it to illustrate the point). Send TO to one recipient while also having BCCs that you want. Primary recipient (TO) will never know that others are parties are reading...

I think mer, hit the nail with a hammer with his reply to my post. What makes you think that there are only 2x ends (person A and person B) in two person chat on Whatsapp? How can that be verified? Can you trust Meta? My point is saying...

I'm sorry but I don't understand your question. Every conversation is encrypted end-to-end, so there are just two "ends". Why are you talking about "3 as in (n+1)"? I don't get it.

Good, but how many "ends" are encrypted for two person conversation? Perhaps 3 as in (n+1), that would still be end-to-end encrypted, just end-to-end-to-end? Also I must reference this comment, though to be clear, It doesn't guarantee no...

I am able to access a data set, zroot/data from with an iocage jail and would like to do the same from a vm, but don't see a command for doing this. Is there something like a vm attach zroot/data / ?

My apologies. I did read it, but misinterpreted what was written. I misunderstood zfs: pool too mean zroot/vm. When a string is shown, you don't always which part is literal and which needs to be substituted. I'll know better next time.

If you are unfamiliar with a utility, you should consult the manual to ease the experience. vm BASIC SETUP Once vm is installed, create the directory which will store your virtual machine configuration and data. This directory will be...

That should be vm_dir="zfs:zroot/vm"

What provider does Bruce Schneier use? That would be a seal of approval.

Why not encrypt your mail with your public key? Then only your private key can decrypt it.

Yeah, no. They insist you store your private key on their servers? That doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. The public key that matches? Sure. That's the way it should work. My client (are you limited to using a specific ProtonMail...

It's transitional right now, I think they are waiting for cetain things to get mergd. At the moment, they recommend using an overlay as per the github page. Which I can happily confirm, works like a charm. Xlibre is an actively maintained...

Firefox will add an AI "kill switch" after community pushback Well done, FreeBSD community.

Hello world from XLibre on my recently upgraded FreeBSD 15 system. Feels good. Let's watch a movie with the tear-free on. Infinite thanks to baaz and co.

Well, new users (no matter where they come from) will have to learn. Lesson 1: FreeBSD is not Linux.

I have had some fairly decent results with smaller mechanical tasks like "can you add a suitable assert before every array access in this C source file".

FWIW when doing tests like this you should also test on filename with 2 spaces in a row. Including at the end of a filename. It is easy to script in a way that a single space is preserved but multiple spaces are collapsed into one.

I've tried bash and bash-completion because I familiar with it. But it doesn't work. $ echo $SHELL /usr/local/bin/bash $ cat ~/.bashrc [[ $PS1 && -f /usr/local/share/bash-completion/bash_completion.sh ]] && \ source...

We are fortunate that FreeBSD has OpenOffice. There has been pressure to remove it from almost every other platform's repos.

If it stores the mail encrypted, it will need the private key to show it to you in the web page, and perhaps for something more. Interesting would be decoding at client side, but that feature is not among the features bloat.

The full authority over private keys is essential. Let's have a look at Proton's key management: To make sure you can always receive your emails on Proton Mail using this OpenPGP key , we require that all imported keys have no expiration date...

In 14.0-RELEASE (bbb2d2ce4220).

The Minotaur was hidden in a Labyrinth. The creators of the tale knew how to set up the stage. If Minotaur was out there, the Greeks would mob up and kill it. Simple. In Roko's Basilisk the AI is just there. I ask how, give me the context. Is it...

Thank you for explanation! I like the solution :) Thank you all guys for providing such valuable info on the topic, I appreciate all your help and my question is answered and solved now.

Because $@ doesn't preserve quotes when you try to assign it to args variable, i.e. in your case with default IFS you are getting args='arg1 space arg2 space', which later expands to 1 or 4 different words depending on whether args is quoted or...

i chose ^V (\x16) because it is a small chance it was part of one of the args the idea is the a="$@" will join the args by using IFS so putting something rare there will allow you to properly split it again in the future it works with a tab...

IF you want to actually process filenames with white space characters in its broadest sense, then you'll have more extensive problems. 3.413 White Space - POSIX: OTOH, if you do not have to deal with <newline>, <carriage-return>, <form-feed>...

Ok, I do think I've figured it out. While following petan's method, I think the reason it wasn't working is that I was mistyping his commands and instead of doing env ABI=FreeBSD:15:amd64 pkg-static -c /mnt/upgrade update -r FreeBSD-base<br>...

can you provide your own private key in whatsapp ? eu and uk are requesting backdoors righr now. in a lot of hw devices you cant bring your own key either. they are random in theory but you cant verify that

if all the mail was encrypted end to end the govts would come with "think of the children" and will mandate a backdoor, the same as they do with chat now

I have updated graphics/blender5 with CUDA support on FreeBSD. BugZilla: graphics/blender5 Both Demo projects doesn't work for me. I've tried to disable SSE, AVX, etc... but it always failed. The only difference is point 2.2, enabling Debug...

Just builded again on 15-STABLE as well as on CURRENT. Each with SIMD enabled. Both succeeded. Did not do any major runtime tests though.

Regardless if pkgbase or not, or 3rd party packages, it's not a good idea to pkg-delete -y, --yes Assume yes when asked for confirmation before package deletion. without checking what packages are removed.

This isn't drm-kmod related, 25.11 doesn't start with amdgpu either (15.0-RELEASE). Other wayland compositors run without problems. There is a still open issue report on the x11-wm/niri projects Github repository in this regard . v25.11 fails...

Rokos Basilisk, anyone?

Your data sets are somewhat equal to partitions. Only they do not use space allocated once at system partition time but will allocate the storage needed from the zpool under it. They also contain settings which influence data safety (copies=X...

Yes, I know all that. And yep, I'm using shell functions and pass _script_ arguments into them as parameters. I just want to give $@ (inside a function) a sensible name by means of assigning it to a variable. I can't just fully understand why...

Yeah, of course, I'm just doing a script to fix filenames on my old Windows drive :)

Oh, yeah, that's exactly what I was looking for, thank you! I also tried to fiddle with different IFS values to make it work, but couldn't find a proper value for it. But how does this value of \x16 work? I found that this is the SYN (synchronous...

#!/bin/sh IFS=$'\x16' ######## args="$@" unset IFS # do normal shell stuff for l in a b c "1 2 3" d; do echo $l;done set -- "what the heck" "is this" echo $1 "==" $2 # when you want to use the original $@ IFS=$'\x16' # # for arg in $args works...

That should be vm_dir="zfs:zroot/vm"

The reason for 2 and 4 is because you are quoting the “$args” which is then interpreted as a single arg in the for loop.
