  • not a technical but you can’t just do full disk encryption and put the password manually at every single boot?

    It seems very unlikely that a reputable hosting company would snoop even in that case

    If we’re talking about 3 letter agencies, for the dedicated servers they’ll directly seize the disks…




  • The computer response should be treated as just an indication and in all cases a human needs to decide to override that

    Otherwise we’ll all become useless pieces of a simulation

    I went to the bank to ask a loan and then it got rejected because the computer said I didn’t met the parameters by just 40 euro. Ah ok, I told the clerk, just lower the amount that I’m asking or spread it over a longer period. No, because after the quote is done and I signed the authorization for the algorithm to perform credit score, it can’t do it again in 3 months. What?? Call a supervisor and let them override it, 40 euro is so minimal that it’s not that big issue. No, impossible. So that means each single employee in the bank is just an interface to the computer and can be fired at will?
