I’m super happy that Techlore invited me on their YouTube channel to talk security and privacy 😀
Henry was mostly interested in my work with BusKill (an open-source dead man switch), but our conversation ran a gamut of issues regarding security and privacy — including
How to mitigate State-sponsored interdiction attacks, minimizing attack surfaces of mobile phones with broadband processors, the threats of AI “identity verification” systems on privacy, and much more

Hi, I’m Michael Altfield. I write articles about opsec, privacy, and devops ➡
I’m going on another cross-country cycling trip this summer, and I’m in the market for a good, solid MP3 player.
Disclaimer: I’m a software guy who likes my devices to be good quality and long lasting. I’m by no means an audiophile, hardware tech, or professional MP3 player reviewer. All of my research was done using Google, and the only MP3 player I’ve owned is the Sansa e260 v2.
Requirements
Note: These are my personal requirements. They effectively eliminated a *lot* of products in the MP3 market.
1. Rockbox Support
First and foremost, I need rockbox support. Rockbox is a must-have FOSS firmware for MP3 players with a fantastic feature list. You can buy an MP3 player with terrific hardware design, but your experience can be absolutely ruined by poorly designed firmware. My old Sansa e260 was this way, but once I installed rockbox, it was like the device was freed from a software prison. And, of course–another benefit of it being open source–you can completely customize the look+feel of your MP3 player with other user’s custom rockbox themes.
Here is a list of MP3 players (targets) and their support status for the Rockbox firmware.
Well, my old server died (I think the processor fried itself somehow). Due to school workload, I wasn’t able to properly configure a new server until now, thereby this blog has been down for months (and, surprisingly, I’ve actually had people comment about it being down–mostly because they were unable to flame me, though *shrug*).
Anyway, I’ve finally got a new (actually, it’s quite old) rack-mountable server (minus the rack) running FreeBSD as a replacement. Moreover, I’ve changed the theme, so this site had both a different software and hardware look!
