The “record” is a SMS verification code. All that will tell the government is that you registered for Signal, nothing else.

Signal doesn’t use SMS at all, once you have enrolled. The phone number is used to validate people and exclude bots, during registration. As others have noted, you can hide your number from other users, as well.

They can “request” it all day long. Signal doesn’t store them beyond the time needed to deliver to the end user device, and while (temporarily) stored, it’s encrypted in a way Signal’s service cannot read.

1-2/day, using the default 2-minute routine. I do not leave it on the charger after using it. I only charge when it does the little vibrate pattern indicating a need to.

I’ve had a Philips Sonicare brush for ten years at this point. Do they just not make them well anymore, or did I just luck out? I only need to charge it like once very month or two.

Because Trump would likely get a better deal with Putin by letting Russia conquer Ukraine entirely?

Wow, that took me down nostalgia road…

Along similar lines, System Divide, though I think they only had one album.

So female fronted metal is my jam. Your examples have a solid range, but here’s some of my picks:

• After Forever
• Beyond the Black
• Ad Infinitum
• Delain
• Within Temptation
• Unsun
• Cellar Darling (and earlier Eluveitie if you don’t mind male and female singers mixing)
• Amaranthe
• Stream of Passion
• Illumishade
• Lacuna Coil
• Leaves’ Eyes
• The Murder of My Sweet

You’ll find a ton of female fronted bands in what (I think) is referred to as "scandi-metal) (Sacndinavian Metal).

Does SSH have to be your only way? Could you deploy something like Tailscale? Can you restrict the allowed IP ranges on SSH with a firewall rule?

Detained is often used interchangeably with arrested, as annoying as it is. And he would have been, if he was charged.

“I will guarantee you, 99.99 percent with confidence, Russia and China are monitoring those two phones,” Bacon told CNN’s Manu Raju. “So I just think it’s a security violation, and there’s no doubt that Russia and China saw this stuff within hours of the actual attacks on Yemen or the Houthis.”

This “article” provides zero evidence of the assertion, and just assumes China and Russia own these phones with an on-device compromise? Signal is encrypted, unlike the SMS infrastructure which has been fully owned by China for years. The only known way to compromise it is on a device itself, not by “monitoring” these devices (watching SMS traffic). Or, this pundit knows about secret Signal hacks the rest of the world doesn’t…

Signal doesn’t bridge to SMS any more, so I fail to see how these messages would be intercepted unless these people are walking around with compromised phones. Yes, it’d only take one person in this group to compromise the whole thing, but making this assertion without any explainer is just clickbait.

This headline was a roller coaster, considering the US has a South African president, as this point…

Non-human use cases, would be one. Like, having the ability for machines to “see” highly detailed imagery via camera. Just spitballing. My eyes are shit, so a screen that cool will never be of use.

So if she complied and her kid died, that’s negligent manslaughter, right? I wonder if she’d sue the flight crew, or the airline.

And it’s a web/Electron app anyways. At least the O365-connected version is.

Wow, replace one failing product head with another failing business head? This isn’t 3D chess, so what’s the end game here for Apple?

And this is why DNS-based ad blockers are needed. Get rekt, Discord, you’re not funneling attack vectors into my chats.

This has a whiff of “punishment for crack is 10x worse than punishment for powder cocaine”…

How could there only be one copy of it in the first place?
