[qubes-users] 2nd of 2 email extra gmail protection and freethoughts on limiting exploits..mitigation of compromise of systems hardware/software

2018-08-09 Thread MWM
https://www.amazon.com/Yubico-Y-123-FIDO-U2F-Security/dp/B07BYSB7FK



This device at this time completes the advanced security for Gmail accounts that is email.

I prefer that they be found from another retailer I have heard things about Amazon that cause me to want a secure shipping method offered by the merchant.

But it's possible if not from say newegg.com if they in fact offer a more secure shipping method that there exist other merchants offering more secure shipping methods.

You think all Cadillacs are saved by but the wrong model is not a safe by GM Motors does not make all cars equal or worthy of trust Chevrolet the first Nova was good subsequently because perhaps they needed to change the design 2 continue the price as the price of the car originally designed would increase because of the demand for the parts in the original configuration and Source the new parts at l o enough cost to keep that same model inline with the original pricing from the manufacturer's suggested retail price MSRP stable and not continue to go up and up although maybe they should continue with the original design because people know it and will pay more with the knowledge that they are getting a trustworthy car apparently that's not the way it works or would they not have done that but then again if they had done it would they have gone bankrupt Etc.

Enter in any case I am just looking for these two extra security features for a Gmail email account that last longer than what I have become accustomed to and not happy with because they do not last long I believe it is simply because the password is changed and I don't know it and Gmail cannot determine if it is returning you your account or if you are just trying to ruse your way into obtaining control of an account at cetera.

Anyway it's a device you're using is compromised I do not know because I have not researched enough but using the physical device key May will give itself away the Institute is plugged into said, revised device I would assume that but still if possible I would like to try to secure an email account and this is the first one I have seen that offers to things devices necessary to secure under what they term extra security. Inter 

 Again payment for these is no problem for me but we receive our mail at a PO Box as the neighborhood mail carrier and residence seem not to be able to keep the United States Postal Service working as it should and the fact is sometimes things sent to PO boxes are returned.

I spoke with a representative my cell phone provider and was told PO Boxes sometimes return replacement phones which are $25 for a good ZTE phone which I have replaced once before and they do not provide any upgraded security shipping options so I am looking for a bring your own device the device must have been available for the Sprint network or simply I believe it's called jailbroken so that it can be used on any network. Inter 

 I have just recently purchased and returned after testing and finding that the device was satisfactory but did not feel comfortable in the way it has been activated I would like to have the device merely for its abilities without using it on Wi-Fi or connecting to cell towers as this is the way other than plugging something into the phone any phone in the case Android is easy 4 for one determined or a determined foe 2 compromise and stand between you as a man in the middle where you see your screen but it is like looking into a kiosk with the information being perhaps true or false and you have no way of knowing which it is wow the one who really controls the device perhaps that is simulator except the simulator is actually the way the one who has true control over the phone makes the settings and those settings include what to report as being or having special privileges like changing system settings and covering up other apps which cause you to believe you are seeing an app and its information but in reality a different app has been given permission a specific permission through Android 2 appear on top of other apps.

It's not a new feature it is necessary when you need a pop up so that you can say for instance choose a file when you are running a program that is not a file manager but needs you to choose a file or photo overall complete some action which it does not provide the means to do the means to but would call on another app this second that must be able at is have permission to appear above or on top of the app requesting this extra information I file a picture or whatever it must exist but if misused it can make the user of not just an Android phone Google's os4 mobile phones and not pixel however pixel will have the same ability or any Apple phone would need to say more who created application it makes it difficult for the operator if this isn't used to determine whether the settings for instance are those desired because the app which has been given the permission to cover up the original and legitimate

Actually, I cloned today new VM on Debian 9 and tried again with your Github 
guide and it works.

"
echo Xft.dpi: 144 | xrdb -merge

set in /etc/X11/Xresources/x11-common
Xft.dpi: xxx
"


I don't know what was been the reason the first time, because I did the same 
things.

Yes, I tried it yesterday and it did not help. I even tried to install Nvidia 
driver tool (I don't know why :), maybe I believed in magic).

I think you're right and it was probably (slowly) downloading and
installing templates. Some type of notice would be nice, though.

NetworkManager as service name works in Debian too.

I have had similar experiences and used a tool called "gnome-tweak-tool" to 
correct the situation 
(https://www.militant.dk/2018/05/21/qubes-3-2-fedora-26-large-icons-and-large-fonts-on-lenovo-yoga-2-pro-high-resolution-laptop/)

But lately I think it has changed to "gnome-tweaks", so you can try that, if 
the first package is missing.

Sincerely
Max
