Among these select topics, there is one that has intriguingly held the limelight since my tender age of three - computers. As I reflect on this fact, some three decades later, I find it intriguing and deeply insightful. **Let's be clear**, it was never the hardware of the computers that held my fascination. Rather, it was the orderly, simplified, and democratized access to information and knowledge that truly stirred my curiosity. It was the potential for learning, for endless discovery that fueled what ultimately blossomed into my =="Information Obsession."== :spider_web: Such obsession did not stop at mere consumption. It demanded action. I found an irresistible compulsion to dismantle and rebuild, to innovate and create. This pursuit led me to explore new hardware devices, to experiment with modified firmware versions, and to venture into the untrodden paths of uncommon software and complex architectures. It prompted me to engineer entirely new systems. And thus, the magnetic pull of computers isn't about the metal and wires but about the limitless possibilities they represent. ==__It's about the ability to generate and disseminate information, to learn and to educate, to break apart and rebuild.__ **This, in essence, is my unquenchable 'Information Obsession.'"**== ### Resume --- (apart from being a douche, i'm aslo: :arrow_down:) - Breaker of all things that can either: - have some sort of circuit - electrocute - turn on/off - have some sort of switch - should probably not be within the reach of children - Can either be really expensive or incredibly cheap (it ain't about the price - rathe, 'tf else can i do with it?') - Learner - Curious S.O.B - Tinkerer/ Modder/ DIY-ist (aka `h******` ) - Auto-didact (EgoManiac) - Programmer - R&D Engineer - ICT Engineer - Mathematician - Systems Engineer - Solutions Architect - Computer Engineer - ICT Engineer - ICT Security - CyberOps Dabbler - Geek - Dweeb - Dork > Currently working specializing in 'How Information Flows thru Networks', building/breaking 'Computational Trust Models' and, creating reinforced solutions which aim to distinguish signals from noise. ---

macOS Security Guide

macOS: Commandline & Basic Security Guidelines :::spoiler if you're looking for true security, forget macos and windows altogether - You should be looking at OpenBSD, Whonix and/or Qubes for desktop use || GrapheneOS for mobile. ::: Table of Contents This is a really really really high-level starter guide whose aim is merely to ensure minimal security standards for users of macOS. ==Regarding the CLI Commands: Probably the most important part of this entire document is this yellow warning== :arrow_down:

CypherPunk Manifesto Back to activism.net/cypherpunk/ A Cypherpunk's Manifesto by Eric Hughes Privacy is necessary for an open society in the electronic age. Privacy is not secrecy. A private matter is something one doesn't want the whole world to know, but a secret matter is something one doesn't want anybody to know. Privacy is the power to selectively reveal oneself to the world. If two parties have some sort of dealings, then each has a memory of their interaction. Each party can speak about their own memory of this; how could anyone prevent it? One could pass laws against it, but the freedom of speech, even more than privacy, is fundamental to an open society; we seek not to restrict any speech at all. If many parties speak together in the same forum, each can speak to all the others and aggregate together knowledge about individuals and other parties. The power of electronic communications has enabled such group speech, and it will not go away merely because we might want it to. Since we desire privacy, we must ensure that each party to a transaction have knowledge only of that which is directly necessary for that transaction. Since any information can be spoken of, we must ensure that we reveal as little as possible. In most cases personal identity is not salient. When I purchase a magazine at a store and hand cash to the clerk, there is no need to know who I am. When I ask my electronic mail provider to send and receive messages, my provider need not know to whom I am speaking or what I am saying or what others are saying to me; my provider only need know how to get the message there and how much I owe them in fees. When my identity is revealed by the underlying mechanism of the transaction, I have no privacy. I cannot here selectively reveal myself; I must always reveal myself.
