apple 1 ROM disassembly

Creates an early grub core image for ESP to cryptmount a LUKS+LVM partition where the grub files /boot/ and the kernel is stored
#!/bin/dash
# Creates a standalone core image with grub to be started by EFI.
# It complements the excellent cryptroot tutorial at
# https://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/2061
# for grub on BTRFS inside LVM inside LUKS.
#
# It initiates decryption of the root device which contains
# LVM with BTRFS on the root volume where grub is installed.
# Therefore, it allows to load grub from an LUKS encrypted BTRFS
# root file system.

Some notes about Reporta app since some people expressed worry about Reporta's security.

Analytics

Analytics track you, but they also keep local files really useful for forensics to gather evidence against you.

Google Analytics

Because of course, you need to know if people actually use it when it's developed by a PR firm. Google Analytics tracks a lot of your moves and stored locally in a cache then uploaded to Google servers. Every action is logged.

Most VPN Services are Terrible

Most VPN Services are Terrible

Short version: I strongly do not recommend using any of these providers. You are, of course, free to use whatever you like. My TL;DR advice: Roll your own and use Algo or Streisand. For messaging & voice, use Signal. For increased anonymity, use Tor for desktop (though recognize that doing so may actually put you at greater risk), and Onion Browser for mobile.

This mini-rant came on the heels of an interesting twitter discussion: https://twitter.com/kennwhite/status/591074055018582016
