Very similar to if you were to send a traditional paper letter in an envelope with a stamp, and put an incorrect return address on it. You could even make it look exactly like something the real company would have sent. There is no validation of the return address. If the recipient were to respond to the return address, it would expose the ruse. The scam is that the contents of the letter have further instructions that lead to the scam.

Another complication is that the From address in internet email contains an address part and a description part. The address part is what is actually used to route the email, and the description part can be anything, including something that looks like an email address that doesn’t match the one in the address part. Most email clients only show the description part and hide the address part.

For example:

From: “Bob Smith” <bob@example.com>

From: “robert@somewhere.com” <bob@example.com>

From: “Do not reply” <noreply@example.com>

From: “quickbooks@notification.intuit.com” <scam@attacker.com>

https://simplelogin.io/ (owned by Proton) is great for this. They have a feature to generate an email address by random word or even by uuid.

The pieces of refrigerators that have failed me in the last 15 years have been the plastic parts. A small improvement in plastic quality or engineering seems like it could double the life of the refrigerator. And of course a small plastic replacement part costs $50 or more.

iOS has Lockdown Mode which it sounds like you could benefit from.

I succeeded in doing this once long ago. Then while in the Linux vm I wiped the VM’s partition table, which wiped the physical disk partition table, including windows. Do not recommend.

Professional CMake: A Practical Guide by Craig Scott is an excellent guide to modern cmake usage. Well worth the $30 if you need to build, maintain, or modify a CMake project.

Do you perhaps have Resist Fingerprinting or Strict Enhanced Tracking Protection turned on?

I was never able to get videoconferencing sites working with any combination of those (on Linux), so I just use a vanilla Chrome instance just for videoconferencing.

Isn’t this basically how lisp works?

Was it just the public part of the key, or was the secret key there, too? If it was just the public part, then maybe you imported the key at some time in the past?

Yes a back up is possible. Don’t back up partitions, back up the whole device. All 150+g at once.

Whenever you try to mount the device or the filesystems, make sure to mount it read-only so that no changes are written to the device.

Also, shrinking 84g of data into 32g is definitely not possible. Just changing the fdisk partition table doesn’t shrink or relocate the data. You need a filesystem-aware resizing tool to shrink the filesystem before shrinking the partition.

Hopefully you can just change the partition table back to the original values and get a clean fsck.

I see you’ve met my boss.

I’m living this right now. Bad requirements lead to bad results and lengthy rework.

I would like to know how you found out about the cat nip thing by accident.
