My kryptonite is du which reports disk usage, and df which reports disk file size, or no, wait, du is file size and df is disk usage.

Most of the time I can only remember whichever one I don’t need at the moment and futilely hope that its man page will mention the other (which it doesn’t).

Ah, damn it! I’ll look it up next time. *sudo vim /etc/passwd*

There’re a lot of privacy enthusiasts who seem to view privacy as a binary. So because Mozilla isn’t perfect, it’s as bad as can be.

They also commonly have little understanding of the underlying technology, law, business, etc., which I guess is why they can’t do any threat modeling. They’re just really scared of a nebulous threat they do not understand. Which I can sympathize with.

But privacy then becomes more about “staying pure” in some abstract sense, rather than about avoiding concrete threats.

(As a tip to those who want to do better, any real security starts with threat modeling. There is no such thing as perfect security, it’s always a tradeoff. So you must do threat modeling to make sure you’re putting your resources where they will make a difference.)
