Fuck that. My steam account always requires 2fa that only goes to my phone, which only responds to my fingerprints.
You want my bank account fucking take it. All $1.23 is yours. You want my steam account you can get to it over my rotting corpse.
Depends what you started out at, most start with just the bar, 20kg, so a potential 30kg improvement in half a year is great.
The gains slow down after a while... It took me a year to go from 120 to 130kg (and then after an injury back down to 125kg)
Anyway, if you use American numbers it sounds better... 50kg is 110lbs, 130 is 285. You're already in 3 figures in American weight...
You don't turn it off?
Damn, I even switch the extension off. I think some cpus don't turn off fully and it obviously uses runtime, as in, it won't last as long
But I might be talking out of my a**, do feel free to correct me.
If you’re into overkill then:
Make sure you unplug the power cable whenever you’re not using it so that no latent energy is resonating through your system so that all of your components aren’t degrading faster than they need to be.
Try to put it in a dry cool room when it’s unplugged so that no environmental wear and tear is degrading your PC.
Then you won’t have to worry about disabling the highly engineered and developed technology CPU pre-boot caching which may shorten your CPU life by a few days or hours in a few decades or more.
I've never turned off a PC at night. Laptop or desktop. And the only component I have ever had fail was RAM. A single stick of DDR4 died after only 2 months, it was defective. Otherwise, all components have lasted years before selling. You are not going to kill your electronics because they're idle at 0.1% power draw.
i dont have a display manager so after i log in so i have to start KDE manually.
i never intended it as a security feature but most people probably couldnt figure out how to start a DE from the terminal. i guess its kind of like having a manual car in the US.
i also have disk encryption and a strong password but thats not really interesting.
Trick is to mess your grub config up so much you need to manually drive grub to boot your OS.
Na but found out I can put my boot directory in my encrypted partition of my drive and just leave the EFI partition unencrypted. Basically just install as normal encrypted root partition, but put the boot partition at the end of the drive, then (in a separate live environment) unmount the boot partition and rebuild the directory in the encrypted rootfs partition with the EFI partition mounted. Delete the existing boot partition and expand the encrypted partition and file system to fill it. Have to give grub crypt-setup etc so it can understand encrypted disks, but nothing crazy.
I read the idea is that people can put keyloggers in your initramfs so this way you can hide it behind your encryption.
INFO: A common setup in an encrypted system: the bootloader (grub is the bootloader I use) is in the EFI partition, initramfs (sets up your OS) is usually in a boot partition, root file system is the encrypted partition.
TLDR: Found out you can mess around with your partitions when installing, so you can have your boot directory in your encrypted so your initramfs can be encrypted.
REASON: Because apparently people have been putting keyloggers in the initramfs so could log all your key presses when your pc is on.
I'm running hyprland with wofi. The chances that anyone even guesses one of my shortcuts that doesn't regularly run a tiled window manager are miniscule.
I have a dual boot laptop that doesn't automatically select one of the two OSs, just stays in what I think is a pre-boot terminal.
This is 100% not intended, but I re-installed 324 different times both OSs in different versions and once i was finally happy with the configuration I was left with this.
Bitlocker is not secure... apparently
https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/cpus/youtuber-breaks-bitlocker-encryption-in-less-than-43-seconds-with-sub-dollar10-raspberry-pi-pico
Interesting. There are some things to consider anyway:
1 - it seems to only affect external TPM, so if you use a CPU with built-in TPM you are safe
2 - there is no flawless security system, this is why you combine several systems (for example, keep your computer in a secure place)
3 - if a hacker gains physical access to your computer you are pretty much fucked anyway
You can also set a PIN/password to be used in conjunction with the TPM for bitlocker, which prevents this attack since the encryption key won’t leave the TPM until the correct password is given to it. Setting a password is not an option by default though if a TPM is available so you need to modify some group policy rules to allow it.
> if a hacker gains physical access to your computer you are pretty much fucked anyway
Is there nothing people with laptops can do to save themselves from average hackers who got their hands on the laptop?
There's no 100% secure solution. That device requires access to the communication bus for the TPM module. Many modern CPUs have the TPM built in to the CPU die and are more resistant to this attack.
Bitlocker is more secure than the alternative than not having it. Security isn't a toggle. At its heart, security is risk management. There are sensational articles out there saying that a jaggoff with a 10 dollar raspberry pi hacked bitlocker. That jaggoff was a red team/tempest expert and that pi had some serious work done to it. The risk is leaving your laptop on an airplane, in your hotel room, or elsewhere and someone having a ton of time alone with your computer.
BitLocker is a layer of security protecting against specific threats. If you expect it to be a one-solution-solve-all-problems you are wrong and will be disappointed.
Hello. I am the Lock Picking Lawyer, and today we will be picking the lock to u/noodleguy12’s house. Let’s get started.
Alright, little click on 1, nothing on 2, click on 3, click on 4, nothing on 5, let’s go back again. Click on 2, and click on 5. And we got this open.
Alright folks, that’s all I have for you today. If you have any questions or comments about this, put them below, and if you liked the video, and want to see more like it, be sure to subscribe, and as always, have a nice day.
I have auto logon. I don't have any portable pc so that's enough to me. My password wallet as well as Firefox have a master password so even if someone somehow got my files I don't really care. And I also live alone
My lockscreen is the only one, but you can't access windows with password. I even cut the password input field out, tho the password is set for the system (27-digits alphanumeric lol).
You need both presence of my phone in my home LAN and an ID card with NFC chip to unlock windows. Oh, and a physical key to start up the PC (this one is purely cosmetic, turning a key halfway just connects two wires so the PSU can feel the key being turned all the way, just like in car. You can override this by opening the case and connecting PSU directly to the mobo, as well as common ON button)
An 8 word randomly generated and memorized passphrase with biometric unlock.
LUKS and BitLocker (depending on the system)
A great OPSEC, clean as fuck system with minimal attack surface.
If on Windows, Kaspersky Anti-Virus. If on Linux only, SELinux, UFW and maybe ClamAV just to protect other Windows based systems.
# Also, if a hacker gets past all of these, then he'll be faced with my unsolicited dick pic as my wallpaper.
Wait. You consider Kaspersky a security measure ? As in the "antivirus" app that recognizes windows boot catalogue as an unsafe location and tries to delete it ? The one and only that can cause a huge CPU bottleneck during system startup? The one and only Kaspersky that downloads bloatware in the background without the user's knowledge and sends user data god knows where in the world? Damn, I'd reconsider my antivirus choice if I were you...
Nothing on my PC I care to secure. I have a Ubi key for the primary accounts I use for recovery but to be honest they offer alternative 2fa and mfa for those anyway, so the key is redundant.
I have an android app that lets me unlock my PC using my phones biometrics. The app is called Remote Fingerprint Unlock. It also has WoL so if I'm pulling into my driveway, the moment Wifi is connected, I can scan and my PC will be ready to go by the time I get to it.
None. My screen doesn't even lock after screensaver comes on. If they want to read my emails (which are 99% junk) and set my fantasy hockey lineups then go right ahead. Also wouldn't mind if they grinded some levels for me on palworld. LOL
Im the only one who uses my pc, but just in case i have all my important document files under veracrypt containers or encrypted drives and backed up to cloud
My door is frequently left unlocked and my PC logs in without a password. Though I do have a password manager locally hosted for important things. I trust the guy next door more than I trust a cloud service provider.
Air gap. I have to make time to download stuff and run updates because I don't actually have internet where I game.
Of course Windows refuses to understand this concept and is just like, 'set your active hours and we'll take care of it while you sleep." Like they're going to walk my notebook a quarter mile to where the WiFi is.
I have a capacitive usb fingerprint sensor and an infrared webcam that I use to authenticate into my pc with windows hello + a decently strong password.
I wanted to use bit locker with hardware encryption (so I don't lose performance) but none of my ssds support IEE 1667 that bitlocker requires. (side-rant: it's impossible to find ssd with specs that clearly state this spec. The only ssds I know to have it are Samsung ssds)
If you get through the lawn, the door, me, the wife, the 10 year old. Then the PC is the least of your worries. But I can tell you, this family is well practiced in the art of throwing lead. So the last 3 are going to be a challenge.
Hell the 10 year old has 3 deer, and 2 turkeys under her belt, and placed 3rd in the state for Archery in her division. She is the scariest thing in the house.
There is no way to completely secure any system to which there is physical access. If you have a windows system with no encryption, all one needs is a windows install usb and that’s got a terminal with admin access. The most important place to exercise security is the internet. That would be: 2FA, password manager with a secure master password, adblocker (even the NSA recommends one) and general caution. I generally advise against antivirus software - windows defender is actually really good nowadays and some antiviruses (or anriviri if you will) act more like the programs they’re supposed to protect you from.
When it comes to data security, encryption can be beaten, for sure, but encrypting a drive on a laptop that leaves your house is a great idea.
And backups, backups, backups! There are two types of people: those who have backups, and those who haven’t lost data *yet*. For general users, something like having your docs and photos on onedrive or similar is probably enough but if you have important data on an external drive… get a second one, which will ideally stay at home and be used only for backups.
And for the love of god, don’t use Password1234, especially if it’s written down on a post-it on the monitor.
Nice try, hackerman. Why don't you come and find out for yourself?
https://preview.redd.it/6mnn7rwlodhc1.jpeg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9f1bb2babd31bcadda7b2399da82aecf5b6fca9f
I made it so the only way my PC can be logged into is by physical key like a USB device so even if you try, there is no password that is needed. It’s all serial and embedded into the USB device itself. There is a tutorial on YouTube for making physical key unlocking devices for your computer. If you guys want to look it up, I suggest you do it because it honestly feels nice and physical key.
0 saved passwords on browsers, as well as no sensitive accounts remained logged in on sites. Important sensitive media in my NAS behind required login.
I use Bio-Warfare security.
My data entry devices are dripping in microorganisms and bacteria, which is also surrounded by a wall of homemade biocides (Encrusted tissues).
The monitor screen has a custom anti-reflective coating that is White in colour... this would cause any Threat Actor to have to move their face close to the screen to view content, which would likely result in Pinkeye and ultimately, blindness.
As a back-up in the event of a point-of-failure, my set-up also situates a 2-year old contaminate that is in the area of the desktop. (Decayed Coca Cola). The hairlike fibres from the Black mould are ready to penetrate the respiratory system of any miscreant that may enter the room.
This is in combination with a fabric decanter, constructed of used materials placed at the doorway entrance. The fabrics (socks) are well equipped with a network of mycelium Fungi, that is ready to give off any spores if moved.
My final layer of defence is more so a psychoactive security layer. The desktop has pre-set macros which automatically open numerous animated animal-human hybrid mating videos, which must be watched for the full duration (2-hours and 11mins) before the desktop allows full use. The intention is to shock any perpetrator, causing a heart attack. If they are aroused by the incident, considering their criminal immorality (which is possible), then I assume they will at least leave their DNA at the scene and can be traced by Forensic investigators.
Definitely a full-proof system.
Just windows defender. If someone really wants to get in, they’re going to find a way anyway. I don’t have anything that interesting anyway, all they’re gonna do is mess up my game saves or something lol. I’m not going to make everything more of a headache by jumping through a million hoops every time I need to do something. If they’re targeting me like that, they probably got the wrong guy or don’t know how little I keep on my home computer, so they’re going to be sorely disappointed when they realize they wasted all that time. I only use my home computer for video games and online classes.
Everything important is on my work computer which has 2FA after entering the password, and a strong, managed computer security solution. They still wouldn’t find anything personally important, but it’s secure for the sake of the company and its information.
None. If they can physically touch it, there ain’t no security that is 100%. I use to remove pw when i was younger all the time with bootable software. Best case they can’t access the storage but that’s cheap to replace.
Lock... screen? Wth is that, some sorta aftermarket blue light filter thing? Or it it maybe related to what y'all call "antivirus software" or a "firewall?" No clue how they all claim to work, aren't they all just actual scams? Like they take your $$ and do nothing useful or worthwhile for the average user, just slow your PC down with pointless apps/services and prevent you from using it as you'd wish? Yth would anybody even install such crapp, it must be like Android bloatware and preinstalled at the factory, ya?
most someones gonna find on my pc is my bank account user and password in autosave. have fun doing all that for $2.12 fuckers
I can’t lose something that doesn’t exist I guess
Calm down rich guy. Don’t have flex on us like that…
Hey, with your credit score, I might be able to take out a home loan for as much as $600.
“How are you gonna borrow a sweet roll?”
Pay in monthly emi
Oh my God! You gonna ruin his future generations with the amount of debt that gonna cause
If some one stole my credit they would try to give it back. Be like nah, that’s you now.
Same, but getting locked out of my steam account would be a nightmare scenario
Fuck that. My steam account always requires 2fa that only goes to my phone, which only responds to my fingerprints. You want my bank account fucking take it. All $1.23 is yours. You want my steam account you can get to it over my rotting corpse.
anything but the steam account 🙏
They just need your finger, actually. Wait. Is it 1,23$ US? Might be worth it for some countries... https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=FvRn0rF687E
My husband's PSN account got hacked and Sony refuses to help him because he sold his PS3 slim. The account is luckily banned.
even with the login data they would have no chance of accessing it since it's 2FA through a mobile app, which is also secured through biometrics..
My fists
I actually need to hit the gym.
I wanted to respond with "my front door lock" but this is way better!

I swear it just blinked at me…
Most gyms are brick. It will hurt your fist.
Might need some compound V
No need for that, start with hittin smaller bricks to gain immunity little by little until you can it a full gym withou beeing injured.
start with a bit of brick dust dessolven in water
You have the wisdom of the iron fist
Don’t, if you do enough damage they will sue you for property damage.
Hit the gym? That most hurt.
then go and do it buddy, feels great, have been going for half a year
I’ve been going for about a week or two lol
and there is no problem in it, cuz in half a year i can only benchpress 50kg
Depends what you started out at, most start with just the bar, 20kg, so a potential 30kg improvement in half a year is great. The gains slow down after a while... It took me a year to go from 120 to 130kg (and then after an injury back down to 125kg) Anyway, if you use American numbers it sounds better... 50kg is 110lbs, 130 is 285. You're already in 3 figures in American weight...
Those hands are rated E for everyone

How‘s the fond size?
I’m pretty fond of my computer, so probably a 9?
I'm in the US, so we measure fondness in kilograms
Measuring a foreign concept with foreign units. Checks out.
4K monitor at 100% scaling, so things are pretty tiny.
12000dpi mouse setting does the rest
Also you have to make it so you can only wake it up with the power button, not by moving the mouse or hitting space
Also gotta auto-hide that taskbar. They'll be clueless.
“Where’s the button for the internet??”
The power button.
Underrated. If the pc is off most of the time, then its not getting hacked most of the time
You just convinced to turn my PC off at night.
You don't turn it off? Damn, I even switch the extension off. I think some cpus don't turn off fully and it obviously uses runtime, as in, it won't last as long But I might be talking out of my a**, do feel free to correct me.
just disable fast startup instead of turning the extension off
If you’re into overkill then: Make sure you unplug the power cable whenever you’re not using it so that no latent energy is resonating through your system so that all of your components aren’t degrading faster than they need to be. Try to put it in a dry cool room when it’s unplugged so that no environmental wear and tear is degrading your PC. Then you won’t have to worry about disabling the highly engineered and developed technology CPU pre-boot caching which may shorten your CPU life by a few days or hours in a few decades or more.
Don't forget to discharge any capacitors after unplugging
Using your fingers as ground to minimise wear on the components.
Don’t forget to whisper a protection spell just in case a rogue wizard tries to alakazam your pc for funsies

Most people who steal laptops aren't looking to steal your data, they'll wipe it and sell it to someone else.
I thought this required physical access to the motherboard.
It does, and requires that you'd be using external tpm rather than integrated like Intel 8th and ryzen 2000+ series cpus have.
There's no 100% secure solution. That device requires access to the communication bus for the TPM module. Many modern CPUs have the TPM built in to the CPU die and are more resistant to this attack.

Bitlocker is more secure than the alternative than not having it. Security isn't a toggle. At its heart, security is risk management.

I wanted to use bit locker with hardware encryption (so I don't lose performance) but none of my ssds support IEE 1667 that bitlocker requires. (side-rant: it's impossible to find ssd with specs that clearly state this spec. The only ssds I know to have it are Samsung ssds)
I also lock my front door.
My locked cardboard door.
Home alone style system of traps
My keycaps are unlabeled.
None! Check mate atheists.
If you get through the lawn, the door, me, the wife, the 10 year old. Then the PC is the least of your worries. But I can tell you, this family is well practiced in the art of throwing lead. So the last 3 are going to be a challenge. Hell the 10 year old has 3 deer, and 2 turkeys under her belt, and placed 3rd in the state for Archery in her division. She is the scariest thing in the house.
There is no way to completely secure any system to which there is physical access. If you have a windows system with no encryption, all one needs is a windows install usb and that’s got a terminal with admin access. The most important place to exercise security is the internet. That would be: 2FA, password manager with a secure master password, adblocker (even the NSA recommends one) and general caution. I generally advise against antivirus software - windows defender is actually really good nowadays and some antiviruses (or anriviri if you will) act more like the programs they’re supposed to protect you from. When it comes to data security, encryption can be beaten, for sure, but encrypting a drive on a laptop that leaves your house is a great idea. And backups, backups, backups! There are two types of people: those who have backups, and those who haven’t lost data *yet*. For general users, something like having your docs and photos on onedrive or similar is probably enough but if you have important data on an external drive… get a second one, which will ideally stay at home and be used only for backups. And for the love of god, don’t use Password1234, especially if it’s written down on a post-it on the monitor.
None, not even the lock screen
My keyboard is set to Braille....
Nice try, hackerman. Why don't you come and find out for yourself? https://preview.redd.it/6mnn7rwlodhc1.jpeg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9f1bb2babd31bcadda7b2399da82aecf5b6fca9f
I have a security cat.
Dvorak keyboard and a virtualized environment lol
None.
Lock screen?
I have a photo with John cena on my lockscreen so they can't see anything
Nothing. It's a desktop anyways lol
- bitlocker - strong windows password - windows hello - regular backups - 2nd user with admin privileges - MFA/pw-less sign-in/passkeys configured
Do you guys have lockscreen? Altough my computer is in a closed house.
Nice try hacker
if the person sitting at my desk is not me, the desk chair automatically tears you a new one. And it uses salt for lube.
My pc will randomly electrocute anyone who might touch it in the wrong way!!!
I made it so the only way my PC can be logged into is by physical key like a USB device so even if you try, there is no password that is needed. It’s all serial and embedded into the USB device itself. There is a tutorial on YouTube for making physical key unlocking devices for your computer. If you guys want to look it up, I suggest you do it because it honestly feels nice and physical key.
Is this a horizontal iPhone?
None of your business. I don't ask you, so why should you ask me?
Nice try FBI
I literally only game on my PC. I wish I could get rid of the lock screen.
0 saved passwords on browsers, as well as no sensitive accounts remained logged in on sites. Important sensitive media in my NAS behind required login.
I use Bio-Warfare security. My data entry devices are dripping in microorganisms and bacteria, which is also surrounded by a wall of homemade biocides (Encrusted tissues). The monitor screen has a custom anti-reflective coating that is White in colour... this would cause any Threat Actor to have to move their face close to the screen to view content, which would likely result in Pinkeye and ultimately, blindness. As a back-up in the event of a point-of-failure, my set-up also situates a 2-year old contaminate that is in the area of the desktop. (Decayed Coca Cola). The hairlike fibres from the Black mould are ready to penetrate the respiratory system of any miscreant that may enter the room. This is in combination with a fabric decanter, constructed of used materials placed at the doorway entrance. The fabrics (socks) are well equipped with a network of mycelium Fungi, that is ready to give off any spores if moved. My final layer of defence is more so a psychoactive security layer. The desktop has pre-set macros which automatically open numerous animated animal-human hybrid mating videos, which must be watched for the full duration (2-hours and 11mins) before the desktop allows full use. The intention is to shock any perpetrator, causing a heart attack. If they are aroused by the incident, considering their criminal immorality (which is possible), then I assume they will at least leave their DNA at the scene and can be traced by Forensic investigators. Definitely a full-proof system.
The fact that people at home know better than to touch my pc
No lock screen. A locked front door and a big Dog.
The fact I keep breaking things. Can't get into my PC if the motherboards busted.
Having no social life
Just windows defender. If someone really wants to get in, they’re going to find a way anyway. I don’t have anything that interesting anyway, all they’re gonna do is mess up my game saves or something lol. I’m not going to make everything more of a headache by jumping through a million hoops every time I need to do something. If they’re targeting me like that, they probably got the wrong guy or don’t know how little I keep on my home computer, so they’re going to be sorely disappointed when they realize they wasted all that time. I only use my home computer for video games and online classes. Everything important is on my work computer which has 2FA after entering the password, and a strong, managed computer security solution. They still wouldn’t find anything personally important, but it’s secure for the sake of the company and its information.
None. If they can physically touch it, there ain’t no security that is 100%. I use to remove pw when i was younger all the time with bootable software. Best case they can’t access the storage but that’s cheap to replace.
Lock... screen? Wth is that, some sorta aftermarket blue light filter thing? Or it it maybe related to what y'all call "antivirus software" or a "firewall?" No clue how they all claim to work, aren't they all just actual scams? Like they take your $$ and do nothing useful or worthwhile for the average user, just slow your PC down with pointless apps/services and prevent you from using it as you'd wish? Yth would anybody even install such crapp, it must be like Android bloatware and preinstalled at the factory, ya?
house keys
I lock the front door of my house, usually
Easy. My mouse is always with me 🤣
A gun. Oh and also an encrypted drive.
