@Iguanadelmar The reason makes a huge difference.

Headline: "Jew Beaten Up While on Vacation"

Did a nazi do it because he was wearing a kippah or did an anarchist do it because he overhead him talking about being active duty IDF?

@TheGreatLlama It was added the week after Unite the Right and there's many other quite sus things

I have been informed Mein Kampf was on his reading list

@thedandeliongrove In a conversation with a friend, it seems "neo stoic Nizchean ubermensch" is the vibe. Which is not who we want to paint as a hero. Bad people do the write things sometimes eh

Can we please get Bonanno in the wee chidrenses hands instead of this rubbish

pretty fukken auspicious day to publish a zine about how some people (fictitiously) do a big ol' crime

CEOs getting shot will always be funny

@raize Yeah but Muse markup support for tables is pretty atrocious, as is all variations on markdown to my knowledge (so this isn't a dig against Muse). Since I care about print the most (why? I don't even know myself), I like to write in Latex because that gives me the most control there, and when it matters then it really matters. I don't know if there's any kind of markup that exists that can simultaneously output to PDF, HTML, and ePub with high degrees of control for each.

Sometimes I feel that by publishing essays on security in the west where very little "happens," I'm contributing to a stifling effect. "Be suuuuuper careful, so careful even that you do nothing!!!" Or some such shite.

But then I'll be in a meeting where somehow multiple snitches are present and everyone will boo and hiss when I point this out thus reminding me that actually yes we desperately need to have these discussions.

@viq I likely would so a semi-manual pipeline of latex -> pandoc -> html -> edit -> pandoc -> epub and then save the edited html in version control. Past attempt at using latex native tools to get epubs has been... unpleasant.

@viq This is a common request, and I haven't really found a way to do this cleanly without maintaining two sets of texts. Maybe it's about time to make that happen. Or, call me crazy, actually just post these as HTML articles too???

Something like 2 years after it came out, I watched How to Blow Up a Pipeline. I gnashed my teeth and tore my hair while watching all the OpSec fails, and thusly I wrote about. Can we learn something from the film? Is there risk of activists mirroring the bad behavior they see on screen? Or maybe it's just fun to read something less dense than theory.

PopSec: How Not To Blow Up A Pipeline

I keep seeing opsec posts about how to secure your phone to stop cops from checking it. These mitigations will never do a great job of protecting you from a state level threat (they may from stalkers, thieves, and domestic violence threats).

If you are worried about state level actors getting information from you, it should not touch your phone.

@einsiedlerspiel Yep. That's the one.

@michael_w_busch @einsiedlerspiel It got worse, iirc.

Hive mind: I once saw an article about the Three Body Problem book written by a (maybe) chinese person explaining why the online chinese right loved that book/trilogy for it's anti-feminist and militarist views. Does anyone have a link on hand?

@philjreese ProtonMail cooperates with law enforcement. Depending on your circumstances, it can be dangerous to rely on it. https://kolektiva.social/@hakan_geijer/110363655378077821

@amberage I'm sorry what is your point? If a death squad comes you're definitely going to die? Because 1) fascists are cowards and there's always the (miniscule) possibility to scare them off and 2) even if not, if you can injure one of them it's a deterrent for whoever they target next.

@amberage You don't need to hit a target to scare it off. You might not even need to fire. And yes I've shot a variety of guns, before you ask. I'm not claiming to be an expert, and I know that confidence and technique all rapidly improve with time, but "requiring" 200 hours for self defense is a ridiculous.

@LordCaramac yes but you are also in my mentions saying these things which implicates me. There's a reason people choose to stay silent around these things. If everyone says nothing, we all look equally uninteresting
