HELP : Is [email protected] a legitimate Proton address or a potential phishing attempt?

Reply in thread

i've had protonmail email for 5+ years or so and they added protonme a few years ago around the time they added drive and other services. protonmail will still work indefinitely but new accts get protonme instead of protonmail since the change, and i think even older accts can use protonme if they want but i haven't bothered. nothing sus about it, no need to worry.

Trouble automounting a LUKS parition that is on a mdadm raid6

Reply in thread

the crypttab.d thing is called a drop-in directory. linux will read files you make in these and overwrite the config files with the values in the drop-in files. it's a way to add your own edits to config files without editing the default config files directly, so you don't have to say manually copy crypttab to crypttab.old for a backup and instead always have a default config to fall back to if things go wrong by just commenting out your few changes in the drop-in file.

i don't know anything about raid, but judging by your manual command to unlock and mount it shouldn't be any different than my non-raid extra encrypted disks setup.

it should be just adding it to crypttab and fstab and a keyfile and grub config edit maybe, and if you mess up you can still get in to edit these to try again with a liveusb (easiest way to go back to previous setup is just comment out the lines you add) and manually unlocking and mounting like you are now anyway, so don't be scared.

is a lot but the specific info you need for your setup should be various places there and linked there. good luck!

THE CRAZY PILLS

"if someone is doing that" but they aren't bud. not a single person ever. why are you bending over backwards to make a nazi big fat lie seem reasonable?

if someone were jamming a big red hot metal rod covered in ants and jelly into their eyes over and over screaming they hate trump so much it made them do this, that would be bad, but the thing is: fucking no one is doing anything like that so what the fuck am i talking about?

‘Dictator’ Trump Floats Idea of Canceling Midterm Elections

they're nazis doing nazi shit they want to do, it's not a fucking distraction. it's not fucking 4d chess. this is what they want. they'd be doing this even if they weren't pedos. they've not even ever really tried that hard to hide that they're pedos. the epstein files won't bring them down even if they're all released unredacted. you're distracting yourself with what you think is the final all-powerful gotcha in our back pocket that will stop them through courts - which it won't - while they're starting their campaign for total world domination.

you know it costs more to make, too. where are you getting this 10x and 5:1 bullshit, anyway? you admit you don't have the real numbers but also insist it's not as bad as this meme makes it seem, but based on what my dude?

AI went nuts on my website and generated a $155 excessive bandwidth bill

try out crowdsec, it's a modern alternative to fail2ban that crowdsources ip blocks from its users with similar setups (optional to contribute to). in the first day i had it set up it had blocked over 50k attempts, mostly scraping and enumeration but also some known http exploit attempts and bruteforcing.

you get 3 blocklists with a free acct so sort the blocklists on their site by size and get the three biggest and you'll block the vast majority before crowdsec even has to evaluate rules. only like 100 or so or mine have been blocked dynamically by crowdsec, the rest of the now 200k or so total have been those blocklists.

edit: tho i don't know how much control you have on your hosting service, whether you can install something like this or only plugin things they have integrated into the service themselves.

incredibly confusing* comment.

it's too heavy? grid power fossil fuels? did you use ai to make this list? actually, i kinda hope you did, because yikes. 'often times lack of servicability in certain areas'? what the fuck are you even saying? you want a propane based generator but lament grid fossil fuels? bro, this is utter nonsense.

*edit: original unnecessarily harsh, apologies.

the metal would heat up very fast and very hot. definitely serious burn territory if you make contact more than like a second long, maybe sooner. a 9 volt gives enough juice to burn the clay in pencil lead graphite and make thin metal wires glow red.
