Just sent some Sats for consolidation to an exchange via SegWit from Electrum with slider set at lowest fee (5.1 sat/b) and i got notified by the exchange about the deposit almost instantly.  NICE!!! |

Most linux distributions can be run on read-only filesystems (same as from cd) BUT the only true security hole is running them as root, because volumes can be remounted in rw mode on the fly. I'm using this strategy on my raspberryPi that is running the game console emulators for the kids. They don't do no shutdown, they just pull the plug/wallwart. Roms are stored on etx4 USB, mounted read-only. This one is just mounted in rw mode on the PC, to manage the roms and emulator binaries.
Just make sure you run linux as unprivileged user. Privilege escalation is a thing though, but unlikely on patched systems. However, when you're not connected to the net, i doubt there is a fair chance of catching a successful exploit via USB.
Again, your postulated security described above is utterly dependent upon the rando USB device implementing only a storage class endpoint. Whatevs. Good luck with that. I would care less if i am running as unpriv. user on a system that is not network connected. I didn't mention that i'd never use a host with actual user data on it. I thought that would be clear because i was replying to Dabs' "frozen sysimage" approach. I would definitely not use a guest VM but a dedicated box that i can reset via dd or similar disc imaging tools, i wasn't clear on that, as i just recognize while typing this. And yes, it's part of the very basics: there is no 100% security, only 100% security against certain (and therefor known) attack vectors. |

How can mounting a USB stick on an AutoRun-disabled VM affect your host's BIOS? Honest question, I want to know.
Don’t lost track of the fact that USB is an acronym for Universal Serial Bus. That device could contain any number of USB endpoints, each implementing a different device class. What if one of the endpoints identifies as a Human Interface Device — for example a keyboard — and injects a number of commands to the system? From the users perspective, invisibly. Or even deeper, a bridge device, giving it access to the underlying I2C bus - maybe even the SMB? Yeah, but who is going to maintain the discipline required to ensure any potential infection does not spread from the separate PC to others in your stable? There is the Yubikey which types for you like a USB keyboard. There is that Rubber Ducky, which types like a USB keyboard and can type like it was there at 100 words per second or something as fast as a keyboard will accept, such as Windows-R, CMD, and do any number of commands from the command prompt. https://shop.hak5.org/products/usb-rubber-ducky-deluxeAs for virgin clean PC's, I used to (and still do) use something called Deep Freeze, reboot to restore thing. If the host computer it's installed on gets infected, before it can propagate any problems to the rest of the network (assuming you disconnected it physically from the rest of the network), you just reboot, and it's back as new, as if it was never updated. Most malware is unaware of it's existence. It's great for setting up kiosks that provide internet access through regular browsers. At the end of the session, reboot, it's back to the way it was. If you need to update anything, reboot, turn it off, update, reboot, and it will stay that way. In theory, it can still be hacked, but in practice it's as if the whole computer is one giant VM. Reboot, and it's back to the way it was yesterday. If you need to save data or files or documents, you save them on a different drive or partition or folder designated as such. But the rest of the OS, reboot, and it goes back to the way it was.

Hard to get some beans, noodles and rice already. Came home and i saw that i already advanced to Jr. Member!!! ...again  Again? This is mainly for VB1001:  I'm just going to eat McDonald's food if there's a crisis. No bacteria or virus can live in that stuff anyway and the probability of dying from SARS-2 is likely higher than the probability of dying from eating only McDonald's food for a few weeks. As an added bonus, there won't be a queue. Uh, oh, no... Sorry, bro! According to a testing from last year, the bacterial and fungal density, count and variety of the bottom side of the grips on McDonald's trays are higher than on their toilet seats! No joke, mister. You probably get in contact with SARS-CoV-2 from an asymptomatic carrier this way, either directly or indirectly via the wiping cloths that do not get exchanged for several days. You're better off by getting their "food" through the McDrive instead. |

Please do continue at this pass
Starting to look good. Maybe R0ach threw all his PM on the market and goes all in on corn again?  Would a set of spoons create this sort of reaction? Actually the best laugh of the week so far  |

Also got a bunch of stuff wrong. 5 days is... slightly more than a minute. Imagine that all would be correct Haha .... Its an old book and just the conspiracy and doom and gloom fools are getting off by it probably  You might be one of them?? Or they made it better as what was written..... Dig twitter, there are already enough conspiracy theory followers on this book. The WHO warned about pandemics about 30 years ago, too. It was about time, i'd say. |

We have power outages a few times a year because trees falling over power lines, because of heavy snow (yet to come this year) or storms (had enough already). So to a certain amount we're prepped already over here, it should last us about up to two weeks (six person household). People in our village are like: Covid19: "Just a flu..." No more beer: "We're all going to die!" And it's even not as ironic as most of you might think Or no more toilet rolls, maybe? It's probably the madness of crowds that is of most concern... There was one article about Wuhan that said a truck was held up and robbed of toilet rolls (can't find reference, or prove it, but it's anecdotally illustrative). In the event of supply chain disruption, it may be simple stuff that you will miss most. With any hint of a lock down, as per a recent post by one of our Italian brothers showing a stripped supermarket - it's probably a good idea to have a decent stock of basic non-perishable food and basics like toilet rolls, first aid etc. - just so you don't have to actually go out to hunt down basics. You can always use it up later, or give it to a food bank someday. As for the state using the virus as an excuse for oppression? Well, maybe we should take a leaf from Trump's playbook, he won't let the pesky bureaucrats take over, he's got it covered: "In 2018, the Trump administration fired the government’s entire pandemic response chain of command, including the White House management infrastructure." https://foreignpolicy.com/2020/01/31/coronavirus-china-trump-united-states-public-health-emergency-response/Well, Trump should about to be almost famous for the almost granted backfiring effects of his decisions and orders. A mad man in a critical age, on the top of a nation's administration. This is the reason for real democracies (let's say: more democratic, to be fair) to not rely on decisions of a single man or instance. Toilet paper, drinking water, household water, rice, beans, noodles, chicken food (for egg/protein supply), dairy, candles, firewood, fuel, soap. Just like almost every cottage in the mountains would have stored somewhere. Plus we have a lot of farmers here (milk, meat, dairy), about 150 pounds of vegetables, fish and meat in the freezer(s). Next step is to up for photovoltaic panels, but i put half of the money into corn and also some fair amount into working memory training and therapy. Always buy the soft toilet paper, in case you ever run out of paper tissues. |

At the time it's still easy hodling. |

Observing $9.359 BTC seems to recover from the dumps, resistance is weakening and hopefully there will be no more dumps within the next few days.
Not willing to defend anyone here, but 1,000 points when Dow Joans is at 20,000 (feb ‘15) are equal to 1,500 points when Dow Joans is at 30,000 (feb ‘20).
Trump: If ... ever ... falls 1,000 points in a single day... Me: When moon sun? |

One of my favorite movie ... I love him madly! Steeper only "Pulp Fiction"!  Its a piece on my arm... if you look closely the body as in that pic, but the face from another scene .... 5 merit for the first one who post the scene of that head "only one scene posting for a member" "only first pic post counts"   Also got these Good Evening (GMT) My shot:  At least a very similar facial expression, no sunglasses but other angle/direction. EDIT: May somebody please quote for display of the linked image? THANKS Tomorrow the image posting restriction should be gone, so i don't have to bother anyone anymore. |

76 days till the Halvening and all is well. yes, but at the moment BTC is a bit lacking behind to Gold as an asset class for crisis situations IMO. the reason is a bit unclear to me. is it because of the early stage of that asset class for Institutionals or is it because of manipulation in a low volume market before the halving because everybody hold his bitcoins back to speculate for higher prices after the halving? this confuses me a bit. just saying. My explanation: Human nature. Everything that is not considered or established as solid and secure in times of FUD is likely to drop. And we all know the history and historic value of gold. 1+1=1 The biggest influences of human decisions are emotions and habits (i think there is a statement from Einstein or Freud that also highlights this). |
