Thanks for your kind words ^^.
guilamu··on EFF launches Age Verification Hub
Agreed, I just wanted to say I agree with your sentiment.

Well, you just answered brilliantly to your own question. You nailed it.
guilamu··on Meta replaces WhatsApp for Windows with web wrapper
It seems that anybody mentioning Telegram is downvoted, but I'm gonna try anyway just to add a simple fact: I just looked up the app in my task manager, while being used, the Telegram app is using 24 mb of ram.

Telegram has its own faults and issues, but the native Windows app is incredibly good and fast.

guilamu··on Why Nextcloud feels slow to use
I'd say Ente-photo is at least as good if not better than Immich.

guilamu··on Ventoy: Create bootable USB drive for ISO/WIM/IMG/VHD(x)/EFI Files
Never had this issue.

Tested isos: Windows 10 x64 (Pro, LTSC), Windows 11 (Pro, LTSC). I've installed windows on hundreds of computers with Ventoy and it never failed me.

guilamu··on Tinnitus Neuromodulator
A message of hope.

I got mine in my 30's too. The first week I thought I was going crazy, and this was the end of my life. I was shocked, I couldn't go to work for a whole week.

I then saw a doctor who said to me: "Man, I've got tinnitus since 20 years and I barely hear it anymore. The more you accept it, the more it'll fade."

A decade later, my own experience is exactly this. I accepted it as one of the body malfunctions that comes with age for everybody. I barely hear it anymore except in extremely low noise situations and it doesn't bother me at all.

I wish you well.

guilamu··on Ask HN: 10-Year Reddit Account Hacked Despite 2FA [updated]
I was able to get my account back, but I don't know why the re-enabled it.
guilamu··on Ask HN: 10-Year Reddit Account Hacked Despite 2FA [updated]
I've just had my Amazon account hacked with an order of a gift card. I saw it immediately so I was able to request a refund, change passwords, add 2fa, remove any payment info.

This is probably linked, I still don't understand how this is possible...

Thanks again for your input! I'll look into crxplorer.
guilamu··on Ask HN: 10-Year Reddit Account Hacked Despite 2FA [updated]
Very interesting idea, I hadn't thought of that. I'll contact them tomorrow and update here if I have any kind of answer.

Hello, thank you very much for your very insightful comment!

The cookie theft is also IMHO the most probable scenario. The malicious extension is the only thing that make sense to me.

log out all devices: done

rotate password and 2FA: done

switch to a hardware key/WebAuthn: not done yet

audit browser extensions: done (I'm using only what I think are very "secure" ones: Bypass Paywalls Clean, Control Panel for Twitter , Correcteur d'orthographe et reformulateur — LanguageTool , Google Images Restored, I still don't care about cookies, Keepa - Amazon Price Tracker, Reddit Enhancement Suite, SingleFile , uBlock Origin , Voir image (https://github.com/bijij/ViewImage)

scan the box: done

revoke any third‑party app access tied to Reddit: there are none

Anyhow, thank again!

guilamu··on Ask HN: 10-Year Reddit Account Hacked Despite 2FA [updated]
My account have been re-enabled a few hours ago. No reason were given nor even a message. It just works again. Maybe it'll be blocked again tomorrow, I have no idea what happened...
guilamu··on Ask HN: 10-Year Reddit Account Hacked Despite 2FA [updated]
I wondered if it could be an "inside job"

This is the only thing that makes sense to me from a technical point of view.

The only thing I do not understand is why? What's the point of deleting this account? Who is benefiting from this? I don't get it...

guilamu··on Ask HN: 10-Year Reddit Account Hacked Despite 2FA [updated]
I guess I'll just GDPR them and legally request that everything I wrote to be deleted.
guilamu··on Ask HN: 10-Year Reddit Account Hacked Despite 2FA [updated]
Yup, I'll just do that.
guilamu··on Ask HN: 10-Year Reddit Account Hacked Despite 2FA [updated]
Just Windows built-in av. I know it's not the best, but still...
guilamu··on Ask HN: 10-Year Reddit Account Hacked Despite 2FA [updated]
I really doubt it, but I'll look into it, thanks.
guilamu··on Ask HN: 10-Year Reddit Account Hacked Despite 2FA [updated]
It does seems like it, but I'm completely puzzled by the level of sophistication the attacker must have gone to hack my account. I mean super strong unique password + 2FA + firewall + AV? What individual can hack that? It just doesn't make any sense...
guilamu··on Ask HN: 10-Year Reddit Account Hacked Despite 2FA [updated]
Thanks for the precision. No, I did not get this message.
guilamu··on Ask HN: 10-Year Reddit Account Hacked Despite 2FA [updated]
Thanks for your input.

No, nothing about a human intervention/automation was mentioned.

guilamu··on Kagi News
Looks pretty good at first sight.

However, I set my feed up on the web app, seeing that it should sync on "all my devices".

Next, I installed the Android app, and mybe I missed something, but I don't see any way to connect to my Kagi account.

So much for syncing...

guilamu··on Unofficial Windows 11 requirements bypass tool allows disabling all AI features
Thanks for your insight, I might go and try something like that.

The new 'good' (more like less worst) version of Windows is Windows 11 iot ltsc. It's as clean as windows 11 gets (https://massgrave.dev/windows_ltsc_links#differences-between...).

Still, I've been using computers for 30 years and I'm starting to feel the itch to look for Linux alternatives and I'm pretty old. Change does do not comes easily to old people. This is bad for ms.
