#Encrypt Files using Command Prompt

[errorid-mt7lt7k7unfr9ttfua5]

me when companies try to force you to use their proprietary software

anyway

Layperson resources:

firefox is an open source browser by Mozilla that makes privacy and software independence much easier. it is very easy to transfer all your chrome data to Firefox

ublock origin is The highest quality adblock atm. it is a free browser extension, and though last i checked it is available on Chrome google is trying very hard to crack down on its use

Thunderbird mail is an open source email client also by mozilla and shares many of the same advantages as firefox (it has some other cool features as well)

libreOffice is an open source office suite similar to microsoft office or Google Suite, simple enough

Risky:

VPNs (virtual private networks) essentially do a number of things, but most commonly they are used to prevent people from tracking your IP address. i would suggest doing more research. i use proton vpn, as it has a decent free version, and the paid version is powerful

note: some applications, websites, and other entities do not tolerate the use of VPNs. you may not be able to access certain secure sites while using a VPN, and logging into your personal account with some services while using a vpn *may* get you PERMANENTLY BLACKLISTED from the service on that account, ymmv

IF YOU HAVE A DECENT VPN, ANTIVIRUS, AND ADBLOCK, you can start learning about piracy, though i will not be providing any resources, as Loose Lips Sink Ships. if you want to be very safe, start with streaming sites and never download any files, though you Can learn how to discern between safe, unsafe, and risky content.

note: DO NOT SHARE LINKS TO OR NAMES OF PIRACY SITES IN PUBLIC PLACES, ESPECIALLY SOCAL MEDIA

the only time you should share these things are either in person or in (preferably peer-to-peer encrypted) PRIVATE messages

when pirated media becomes well-known and circulated on the wider, public internet, it gets taken down, because it is illegal to distribute pirated media and software

if you need an antivirus i like bitdefender. it has a free version, and is very good, though if youre using windows, windows defender is also very good and it comes with the OS

Advanced:

linux is great if you REALLY know what you're doing. you have to know a decent amount of computer science and be comfortable using the Terminal/Command Prompt to get/use linux. "Linux" refers to a large array of related open source Operating Systems. do research and pick one that suits your needs. im still experimenting with various dispos, but im leaning towards either Ubuntu Cinnamon or Debian.

back in the day networking software was what is defined as monolithic: it was all one big blanket of code that handled everything from the data to send to what headers and information add to it before sending it to the Cables(tm)

problem is, get one problem somewhere, you have to unravel all of it to find where the problem is, and the network stops netting and/or working

enter, drumroll please,

iso/osi stacks

the guys over at iso (the organization) came up with this nifty little trick to slice up the Big into many Smalls: 7 layers (or abstraction layers if you are a big nerd)

application: here are the high-end protocols! like http, ftp (file transfer protocol, what were you thinking?) and the dreaded simple mail transfer protocol which i can say after studying it, it is not simple

presentation: applications dont speak internet, so presentation handles (de)codification, (de)encryption and (de)compression however the Protocols see fit

session: most protocols don't have functions or buffers to remember who sent what so session handles keeping connections alive with sessions: little tin cans with a string so the two members of the communication remember each other

transport: this guy is responsible for whether you want to use tcp or udp as a transport protocol (tcp is slower and has data validation for the recipient, udp is faster but fails more often) and chopping up data in tidbits to actually be able to wring them around the net

network: handles ip addresses, routing and telling the other guy everything is okay because that fuckass udp lost me two whole packet fragments

data-link: the oddball of the bunch because it has a dash in its name. and also because it's two sublayers under a trenchcoat

physical: takes whatever the upper layers gobbled up and zip-zaps the cable to send electricity

basically what happens is application concocts the data, hands it to presentatiom and one it is done, it hands it down to session, so on and so forth until physical sends it to the recipient who is going to do the opposite! physical takes the data, gives it to data-link, d-l chews it up a bit, gives it to network until application gets the oh-so-coveted picture of a cat the sender was sending

it's not over yet as those cheeky bastards managed to wedge the stack open with a lego brick remover and stick a little guy called secure sockets layer in to secure the sockets (woah.). he's dead and now we have transport layer security which is that, but better

whevernevr you see an s at the end of a protocol's name, it means one of these two motherfuckers meddled with your data to make it secure and unreadable to the big mean hackers typing dir /s in green letters in the command prompt

Huh

[transgenderdoctorwhomst]

tell us the linux story. 🎤

OKAY this is going to get a lot of technobabble probably but I'll try to simplify and explain everything. Also some of the explainations may not be technically correct, im a Casual hobbyist. Long post warning.

So, this started when I was checking my windows error logs, because my computer had started to randomly blue screen (again) (it stopped for a while but I suspect it was just happening in sleep mode). So I check the logs, and it's. It's bad. There's SO many errors. Windows has apparently been throwing up under the hood. I showed a computer adept friend and his response was "Oh God" followed up by "i think you need to reinstall your OS" so that was great.

First I'm directed to do what I'll call a soft reinstall, which is basically windows redownloads the OS and applies it as an update. You get to keep your stuff. I back up Everything to my external hard drive anyways because I know better. Do the install, check the logs the next day, windows is still throwing up. I'm told I will likely have to do a fresh install of windows.

I decide, fuck it, let's take a look at linux. I was planning on swotching to linux next time i get a computer anyways. How installing linux works, is you basically download an ISO file of the linux version you want, and use a program to put it on a USB or DVD, and stick it in your computer for it to boot off of. So, you're running linux completely separate from the rest of your computer, just using the hardware. Whatever you do in this environment isn't saved, so it's supposed to be a safe way to test out an OS. I imagine for people who aren't me, it is.

I try Ubunto, decide i want to try linux mint instead for petty reasons (Ubunto doesn't have shortcuts built in, mint does, i didn't feel like going to the command prompt every time I wanted to make a shortcut).

To do this, I have to restart my computer back into windows, so i can download and make the mint USB. I have not installed linux yet.

I promptly learn windows has decided to murder me for booting Anything off a USB. It's aggressively encrypted both of my hard drives. (The external drive is fine, it wasn't plugged in.) This is a security measure it must have activated in case I was a Hacker trying to bypass my login password. I cannot use my password to fix it.

Luckily, if I install Ubuntu to a drive, it'll format that drive and basically rescue it from the grips of windows. This is why I backed everything up, because windows is a piece of shit. I do that. I pick the one with windows to fucking eradicate windows.

My original plan was dual-booting windows and linux, simply because I wanted to make sure I could still run games that might not work on linux. Oh well, I decide. I'll just do mint.

I use Ubuntu to make the mint USB, wipe the other drive with mint, and then reformat the Ubunto drive. This is fine! It's great. Linux is responsive and my steam games are happy, because somehow valve made a thing that just Makes Games Work On Linux.

Now, I have a Legally Obtained Copy of ac3. There's specific ways to install windows games onto Linux like this, using a thing called WINE, and a program called lutris. Wine just sort of... translates windows stuff into Linux??? You can install windows drivers with it. Lutris is a game hub that manages all that using WINE for video games.

(I successfully installed the .Net framework with wine. Which if you're like me and have ever had a fucking nightmare trying and failing to install it on windows for Gaming, you will know this feels like stepping into the twilight zone to see.)

Anyways, for reasons unknown to me still, it has some kind of problem getting the installer to run. Okay, I say, I'll go back to my dual boot plan. I make a windows 11 install ISO on mint, boot off it, encounter thirty problems I don't understand and have to remake the ISO like three times, and then get windows installed. I also learned how to set the default drive to boot from using the BIOS, aka the super scary thing you shouldn't touch unless you're doing insane computer sjit like this. Turns out the windows USB installer needs to be the default boot while installing.

Note here: don't be me. Always install windows first, and THEN linux. They both have dual booting managers, and the second install overrides the first, and you NEED the linux boot manager.

NEW exciting windows problems! It cannot percieve my wifi card. Or, as I later learn, act like a fucking gaming laptop. It also fucks Linux again so I have to reinstall mint. I take the time to politely partition the drives (split it up into chunks, basically, so the windows-storage doesn't interact with the linux-storage), and disable the security thing windows freaked out and triggered earlier to encrypt my drives. Yay! My OS's are now installed and linux is in charge of booting, which is good because the windows booter can't tell the computer to boot into linux.

I use rose's computer to download and install a bunch of drivers that my windows install lacks in an attempt to fix the wifi, no dice. Currently I am waiting for a wifi USB adapter to see if that will get around it.

At this point, I decide to install AC3. Install goes okay! It's giving me a weird error with the launcher, but it worked on the second install, so okay. Except there's a problem: once it gets past the safety warnings and stuff, it decides to drop to 1fps. Messing with the game settings doesn't change this. Reinstalling doesn't fix this. I complain to rose. I install every driver related to my laptop I can think of. 1fps. No wifi. Audio works fine though!

I then remember a random thing a redditor mentioned while I was working with lutris: installing the game on windows, and using external storage to copy that install to limux.

So... I do that. I add it to lutris. I open the game.

It Just Works. No lag. Fully working. What the fuck. I installed the make on WINDOWS and fucking LINUX was running it better.

At this point, I had been working on this for three days, and it was 4am. I felt insane! I still feel insane! It just works!

Now, it's basically just messing with windows again tomorrow when the wifi adapter arrives, and finishing transferring everything to linux. And other small things that are basically just quality of life for me.

Windows is just going to be my non-steam windows games installer, basically. I don't think I'll need all 400gb i partitioned off for windows, I'll probably reduce it to 250gb or 300gb, so linux can have Even More. I literally just need it for edge cases and running game installers.

So, that's what I spent my weekend doing!!!!! Do more research than me if you change to linux, kids.

Apple Technicians Specializing in Drive Recovery

If your Mac suddenly stops booting, files go missing, or your drive becomes unreadable, you're likely facing a hard drive issue. In today’s digital world, that can feel like a disaster. But don’t worry Apple technicians specializing in drive recovery are here to help. With the right tools, training, and experience, they can restore your lost data and get your Mac back up and running.

Why Drive Recovery Requires Expertise

Drive recovery isn’t just about plugging in software and hoping for the best. It requires a deep understanding of:

Apple’s hardware architecture

File systems like APFS and HFS+

Encryption and security measures (like FileVault)

Mac-specific backup and recovery tools (Time Machine, iCloud, etc.)

This is why trusting your Mac with just any technician is a risk. Apple-certified professionals bring precision and care to the table, ensuring your valuable files are handled safely and effectively.

What Sets Apple Technicians Apart?

Apple technicians go through specialized training to achieve certifications such as Apple Certified Mac Technician (ACMT) or Apple Certified Support Professional (ACSP). These certifications mean:

They know how to diagnose and repair both hardware and software issues.

They understand how to handle sensitive components like SSDs and logic boards.

They use Apple-approved tools and follow official repair guidelines.

More importantly, these experts know how to safely recover data from failing or corrupted drives without causing further damage.

Common Drive Issues They Handle

Apple technicians who specialize in drive recovery are well-equipped to handle a variety of problems, including:

Corrupted or unmounted drives

macOS that won’t boot

Files that won’t open or are missing

Drives with physical damage or failure

Encryption-related access issues

Accidentally formatted drives

Failed updates or system crashes

Whether you’re working with an older iMac with a traditional hard drive or a MacBook with an internal SSD, these pros can assess and recover your data safely.

The Professional Recovery Process

Here’s a breakdown of how Apple technicians approach drive recovery:

1. Diagnostic Evaluation

The technician uses tools like Apple Diagnostics, Disk Utility, and command-line checks to assess the condition of the drive and determine if the problem is physical or logical.

2. Data Preservation (Cloning)

If the drive is still somewhat functional, they often create a bit-level clone to preserve the existing data. This prevents further wear and tear on the original drive during the recovery process.

3. Recovery from Clone or Original Drive

Advanced recovery software (sometimes proprietary tools available only to Apple-certified professionals) is used to extract files. Apple techs know how to handle files from encrypted partitions or Time Machine backups as well.

4. Verification of Recovered Data

Once files are retrieved, they’re reviewed for integrity and usability. You’ll often receive a list of what was recovered before transfer.

5. Delivery and Post-Recovery Setup

Files are transferred to a new drive or a freshly repaired Mac. Apple technicians can also help set up Time Machine, restore macOS, and install updates to avoid future issues.

Why You Should Act Quickly

If you suspect your drive is failing, don’t delay. Here are some signs that should prompt immediate attention:

Your Mac is unusually slow or freezes often.

You hear clicking or grinding sounds (HDDs).

Disk Utility reports errors or can’t mount the drive.

The system boots into Recovery Mode or won’t start.

Apps or files won’t open properly.

macOS installs or updates are failing repeatedly.

Continuing to use a failing drive increases the risk of permanent data loss. The sooner a professional looks at it, the better your chances of full recovery.

The Security and Privacy Factor

Apple technicians understand that data privacy is non-negotiable. Whether you're recovering personal photos, financial records, or business files, they follow strict confidentiality protocols. Certified Apple repair centers typically operate under data privacy guidelines laid out by Apple itself, which means:

Your data is not accessed unless necessary for recovery.

Recovered files are handled securely.

Drives are returned or disposed of properly after service.

This peace of mind is something you won’t always get with a general tech shop or DIY attempt.

Prevention Tips from the Experts

Apple technicians don’t just fix problems—they help prevent them too. Here are a few best practices they often recommend:

Back up regularly with Time Machine and iCloud.

Avoid physical shock or heat exposure to your Mac.

Monitor disk health using Disk Utility.

Keep macOS updated to prevent system-level issues.

Shut down properly to avoid file system corruption.

They can also advise you on upgrading from older spinning HDDs to more reliable SSDs, or setting up redundant backup solutions for business-critical data.

Data loss is stressful, but you’re not alone. Apple technicians specializing in drive recovery offer the skills, tools, and professionalism needed to bring your Mac and your files back to life. From diagnosing mysterious errors to rescuing files from the brink, they’re your best bet when every byte counts.

If your Mac’s hard drive is showing signs of trouble, don’t risk it. Reach out to a certified Apple technician and give your data the expert attention it deserves.

How to Securely Erase Data from Your SSD?

In today’s digital world, ensuring the security of your data is more important than ever. Whether upgrading to a new SSD, repurposing an old one, or just wanting to ensure sensitive information is unrecoverable, securely erasing data from an SSD is critical. Unlike traditional hard drives, SSDs (Solid State Drives) require special methods for secure data deletion due to their unique storage techniques.

SSDs use NAND flash memory to store data organized into blocks and pages, unlike the spinning platters in traditional hard drives. This architecture introduces complexities like wear leveling and garbage collection. Wear leveling ensures even data distribution across memory cells to prevent premature wear, while garbage collection consolidates unused blocks, making old data scattered across the drive and difficult to erase.

When a file is deleted from an SSD, it is not physically erased but marked as available for new data. Until overwritten, the data can be recovered using data recovery software. This is why secure data erasure methods are essential for preventing unauthorized recovery of sensitive information.

Several methods exist for securely erasing data from an SSD:

Built-in SSD Secure Erase Utility: Many SSD manufacturers offer built-in secure erase utilities like Samsung Magician, Intel SSD Toolbox, or Crucial Storage Executive. These tools use the SSD's firmware to perform a thorough data wipe. To use these tools, users need to check the manufacturer's documentation, backup important data, create a bootable USB drive (if necessary), and follow prompts to run the secure erase utility.

Third-Party Software: If the manufacturer doesn’t provide a secure erase tool, third-party software like Parted Magic, HDDErase, or DBAN (Darik’s Boot and Nuke) can be used. Similar to the built-in utilities, these tools offer additional features and allow users to select their SSD and securely erase it.

ATA Secure Erase Command: This low-level command, built into most SSDs' firmware, resets the NAND cells to their factory state. It requires technical knowledge and involves using a bootable Linux distribution like Ubuntu or Parted Magic to execute the ATA Secure Erase command.

Encryption Method: Encrypting the SSD before erasing it adds an extra layer of security. Even if remnants of data remain after erasure, they will be indecipherable without the encryption key. This can be done using encryption software like BitLocker (Windows), FileVault (Mac), or VeraCrypt (cross-platform).

For maximum data security, it’s recommended to regularly update SSD firmware, use multiple erasure methods, and physically destroy the drive if it’s no longer needed. Additionally, proper disposal of the SSD through e-waste recycling ensures that the drive is handled responsibly.

In conclusion, securely erasing data from an SSD is crucial for protecting sensitive information. By understanding the storage mechanics of SSDs and using the appropriate erasure methods, users can ensure their data is irretrievable. Always back up data before proceeding with any erasure and verify the process to ensure complete data destruction.
