No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Only use encrypted communication, use a phone running GraphineOS, and your computer should be running a secure OS like QubesOS (in addition to Tor and/or MullvadVPN). Basically you need maximum security and maximum privacy, a Thinkpad running Libreboot is the best laptop and a Pixel will be the best phone.

Good suggestions, however, I don't think even pigeon carriers will stop yourself from mysteriously dying of suicide with 2 shots in the back of your head.

Of course, at the same time its not harmful to do as much as you can. However, as the saying goes "the game was rigged from the start"

Definitely a dead man switch, and several letters from me and my psychiatrist specifying that I'm not suicidal.

It’s pretty sad that not only are we at a point where this is a very legitimate question, but that the answer is something that should be taught in schools.

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

If you have a union...

School aint teaching this shit. That would imply that you should be a whistleblower or be a witness to wrongdoings. No way governments would let this be taught.

This is what parents should be teaching at home.

Tails on a usb on a personal device only. Never do anything in person. Redact all personal information for all people yourself included. Use a pdf to image embedded pdf conversion tool to hide all possible pdf metadata. Remove all image metadata. Never tell anyone any traceable information this includes names, locations, times, contacts, you voice, anything that can in any way be identified as unique to u.

Do not raise suspicion quit within a short period of disclosure of information, speak out about issurs, etc. Use simplex chat or pgp encrypted email with a new randomly generated email address not linked to personal info (phone number, existing email etc). Do this all via tor on ur tails install.

Data exfiltration is difficult and can be linked/traced depending on threat model (boing will have extreme capacity and can be considered as dangerouse as a government actor). If u can take the device home and their is no device opened detection in BIOS then extract drive plug into personal device thats booted with tails and copy files from drive to tails (avoids any logging of files being copied or what fikes).

If files are on a secure server then exfil will be traceable. U can avoid this by taking pictures of screen with an oldschoop dslr (be carfull of information leakage (the monitor reflections etc).

If u are to testify and therefore need to disclose your real identity then u could theoreticly livestream ur entire life untill the point of testifying at which point u state clearly for the record u are not suicidal that u fear for you life and hope to hell thwy dont suicide u out of spite. Also if ur in the states carry a firearm and learn how to use it effectively.

Also deadmans switch which publicly dumps info. Files, audio/video from ur phone streamed to a remote server (in an internal durastinction they cant get to easily or quickly)

Idk tho just some thoughts

Psych eval, video uploads, video camera on me at all times with an atty that has access to the recordings.

[–] meco03211@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago

There are apps that will upload video to the web live while recording in the background. Don't have any interactions with random strangers that you aren't recording. Have security cams at your house recording 24/7 saving remotely to a secure server.

None. If you've ever worked at Boeing, you know this is not something they are capable of doing (honestly it is a shock they are in business at all).

[–] Waldowal@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

All it takes is money to hire someone who is capable.

Their margins are negative (like 45%negative) in 2 of 3 business units. Business skills like those suggest the leadership isn't even smart enough to think of suiciding anyone, which aligns with my personal experience there.

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

there exists a dark package infrastructure. usually used for stealing money from grannies but does drug drops and others. get in contact with them on a burner. send them the package with fee and they will deliver it anywhere you need it.

make sure you find a scapegoat within your company that knows what's going on but doesn't know you know. make them the whistleblower.

sit back and enjoy the shitshow as the trust breaks down and the company goes under.

I can't believe no one has said to keep and train with a gun. The best way to live is to kill your killer. Secure channels and home security cameras won't do shit if you don't have a good way to physically defend yourself.
