Haemm0r··on Experian’s credit freeze security is still a joke
I always withdraw cash money using the debit card when I'm abroad. It has acceptable exchange rates(always better than the money exchange rates at the destination country) and much lower fees(mostly just a fixed amount of €) than the credit card (quite high percentage + fixed fee).
Haemm0r··on Don't Pick Up: Missed calls in India
In Austria the former provider "one" had a prepaid plan, where you where not billed for listening to your mailbox and talking to the mailbox of others using the same provider. You can imagine that they did not earn much among teenagers.
Haemm0r··on VPNCloud: Open-source peer-to-peer VPN written in rust
What would you use for layer 2 transport today(in spefific for playing ild games)?
Haemm0r··on LineageOS 18.1
... of which I am aware of as it is a "custom rom". Which means it is nothing different to what the OP is using.
Haemm0r··on LineageOS 18.1
It is still possible to get OTA Updates for the Xperia Z2 Tablet (Snapdragon 800) using the AICP Rom too. I'm really glad that I bought this device.. Link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/rom-official-aicp-15-0-q1...
Haemm0r··on Whistleblower: Ubiquiti Breach “Catastrophic”
"an amazon company" already makes some warning lights blink in my head. Do they have cloud integration of any kind?

The vaccine will check your implanted payment chip receipt number before activating the payload.

Just waiting for first copy protection mechanism for mRNA. SafeGene and SecuGene here we come :o
Haemm0r··on EU experts to say nuclear power qualifies for green investment label: document
Where is the money coming from for the mentioned reactor? According to the wikipedia page a lot of French money is involved of a company connected to the French state.. edit: A breeder would for sure be a good way to reduce waste as you said..
Haemm0r··on EU experts to say nuclear power qualifies for green investment label: document
The comparison of a happening with basically no longterm consequences to future generations like MH17 to nuclear fallout / necessary waste treatment is quite lame imho.

Nuclear energy without subsidies is not sustainable at all. Just do the math if you need decades to dismantle and decontaminate an old nuclear power plant alone.

Haemm0r··on Avoid Consumer Routers
Can confirm that. I run an apu1c4 with pfsense on it behind the isp modem(in single user mode) for multiple years now. No issues so far :)
Haemm0r··on Zoom Escaper: self-sabotage audio, making your presence unbearable to others
For extra protection cover your webcam :) That should work.
Haemm0r··on We Don’t Use Docker
Same thing is achievable with HA VMs.
Haemm0r··on Germany suspends use of AstraZeneca vaccine, along with Italy, France, Spain
Except UK, Austria etc
Haemm0r··on Why are most climate models in Fortran?
I wrote an addon for the MBS application Simpack[1] in Fortran as part of my master thesis and I have to say except for the stupid line length limit I enjoyed using Fortran (was first contact with Fortran then). My educational background is Mechatronics, so my cs background is not web/gui applications, but rather embedded systems.

Haemm0r··on Fake_contacts: Android app to create fake phone contacts, to do data-poisoning
For Android I can recommend "Shelter"[1] which lets you setup a work profile, so you dont have to share your contacts, files, etc.. Downside: If you have already a work profile, it does not work (Android allows only one work profile)

Haemm0r··on I heat my home by mining crypto currencies
If you do not have temps below 0-5°C that might be true. Below the freezing point efficiency drops quite a bit.

"Modern A/C systems can pump heat at 500%+ efficiency even with very cold outside temperatures, no pre-heating needed."

Name a source please.

Haemm0r··on Full System Control with New SolarWinds Orion and Serv-U FTP Vulnerabilities
I didn't know, that serv-u is still a thing. Last time I heard that name was like 10-15y ago, before bittorrent became the big thing. :)
Haemm0r··on Kids find a security flaw in Linux Mint by mashing keys
Classic thing was to write file:///C:\ (or something similar, I do not remember it anymore) on computers with only kiosk mode IE on them to access the local file system. :)
Haemm0r··on What You Should Know Before Leaking a Zoom Meeting
you could let your recreation algorithm do the same thing. add and remove filler words randomly. This way in the end you can't be sure whos audio it was :)
Haemm0r··on Apple's MacBook revival plan: Bring back old features
Maybe because of the power requirements?
Haemm0r··on Poll: Switching from WhatsApp
What about wire.com?
Haemm0r··on A new release for GNU Octave
I use it from time to time. Octave performs very well to the point, where you have several encapsulated for-loops, where Matlab is several times faster in my experience.
Haemm0r··on Tesla’s Nemesis in China Is a Tiny $5k Electric Car from GM
If you equal SUV with AWD then it may be true. However if your sedan had a proper AWD, locking differential(as some Ladas, Subarus, Suzukis, .. have) and slim tires with or without spikes it will beat every now so called SUV with ease.
Haemm0r··on Robert Gore has died
As far as i remember, people wearing clothes with this type of insualtion had problems with overheating.

However things may have changed since then

Haemm0r··on Bella Thorne, OnlyFans and the battle over monetising content
I observed the same in China, however it's mostly men paying for female company in clubs.
Haemm0r··on Ventoy: A new bootable USB solution
Thanks, but no tampering with this system anymore until I have a replacement on the desk...

Remember: Never touch a working boot setup an old Mac with a crippled EFI. ;)

Haemm0r··on Ventoy: A new bootable USB solution
Thanks for the hint ("beast" descibes it perfectly :) ), seems mine is castrated: "Furthermore, it appears that although subsequently released MacBook, MacBook Air, and pre-"Mid-2010" Mac mini models all are equipped with "Core 2 Duo" 64-bit processors and 64-bit EFIs, Apple has blocked these "consumer-targeted" Macs from booting in 64-bit mode. iMac and MacBook Pro models released in 2007 with 64-bit EFIs seem to have been blocked as well."
