    Sorry, but log files can contain any amount of PII that is absolutely unsuited to be sent over an unencrypted channel to a person/company that should not even need some details.

    I sure as hell also skim over logs before I send anything out and remove anything that I don’t want to leak.



  • Many security experts I know consider AV software to be snake oil. I do so too. They are so complex and need so far reaching permissions to be somewhat effective, that they become the attack vector and/or a large risk factor for faulty behavior.

    Add in lots of false positives and it just numbs the users to the alerts.

    Nothing beats educating users and making sure the software in use isn’t braindead. For example Microsoft programs that hide file extensions by default is a far bigger security problem than a missing AV tool. Or word processors that allow embedded scripts that can perform shit outside the application. The list goes on …

    I have probably around 40 T-Shirts (most with some funny or technical prints), obviously several business shirts in different colors, different trousers, etc.

    I have difficulty keeping an overview and keep reusing only a very small subset. I also don’t want to pull them all out of the wardrobe each time to sift through them to figure out what would fit my mood today.

    For cloths (bed cloths especially) the problem is mostly that their instructions are unreadable after a while and I then have no clue what I can wash at 95°C, what only at 60 an what may only survive 40.
