I feel kind of secure in knowing that Debian bureaucracy is too slow moving for Microsoft to be able to force something evil in therepylkko wrote:Did you see the discussion about MS involvement in Linux and Debian on the second page of this thread? What do you think about that? Or are you "no commenting" it?

Yeah, it's not slow just for the sake of it. Things just needs to be discussed thoroughly and bounced through a couple of instances.debiman wrote:^ slow, but also thorough, i'd like to think.

Geez, first i get heat for posting too-specialized questions about quantum inserts, now I'm getting it for a lighthearted comment about Dropbox. I can't win D:debiman wrote:^ the classical "i don't worry about being spied upon i have nothing to hide" argument.
I'm aware of the risks, which is why I use Dropbox only on work systems. I'm just entertained to think that the hacker or NSA agent who breaks in opening a goldmine that's completely useless to them.

to be fair, i misread part of that last post "my 8th grade homework", which might have influenced my comment a little...
i think they know that.I'm aware of the risks, which is why I use Dropbox only on work systems. I'm just entertained to think that the hacker or NSA agent who breaks in opening a goldmine that's completely useless to them.
that's why they let machines do it - they don't get disappointed.
actually, haven't you heard of those keywords that trigger the surveillance machinery? i think that's how it works.

I was digging around and found this in /bin, called pleaselookaway.sh; should I be worried?debiman wrote:i think they know that.I'm aware of the risks, which is why I use Dropbox only on work systems.

Code: Select all
#!/bin/bash
for i in ~/Dropbox/Mina_essays; do cat $i >> /dev/nsa_wormhole && echo "i have stolen minas essay again please do not say anything about this thank you" && cat /dev/null > / ; sleep 10s; done
When I first started, I had my reservations because I remember how many times Dropbox was hacked when it first started, but after using some of our district software's "security," I sorta gave up that ghost. I wish the school board gave me a stipened for every time I cringed at:
>only lowercase letter with numbers
>password is the email
>"Just use this, it'll connect everything...no, I don't know how it works."
>"No special characters allowed in the password."
>"Here is your password [in plaintext]"
>"We've been losing internet every day this week because our district is experiencing a DoS" (Happens about twice a year.)
After about six months, Dropbox seemed far more secure. It's so sad.
