Well, it’s Mental Outlaw. He’s a contender for one of the most paranoid tech YouTubers out there.
But its great that people like this exist imo. The average person might not need it but if someone does actually have a real reason for this level of security then its nice to have sources or at least entrypoints into the topic.
Yeah I like his videos though
he has good linux videos, he seemed kinda right wing tho
Idk I didn’t see much right wing stuff in his videos but he’s a big fan of freedom 🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅🦅
relevant meme: https://lr.psf.lt/img/nxyqaxzna4e91.jpg
He never hided it, his video are kinda great tho
If you are paranoid it doesn’t mean you are not spied on.
That’s true. But paranoid people often mistake how much of a shit others give about being spied upon
A lot of people didn’t give much shit before Snowden’s leak. A lot of themstarted after.
“Tech youtuber”? this guy just regurgitates whatever is already trending and then adds in his own right wing idiocracy. He’s “tech’s” reaction video guy.
A person who uploads videos discussing technology to YouTube is a tech YouTuber, notwithstanding the originality of those videos.
“Check out my gun! By the way I use Arch.”
Wait, is that a real gun? That looked like a toy to my non-American eyes
That’s just a sand colored SIG, very real gun.
Edit: Accidentally thought it was a Glock at first, my bad.
That is a SIG idk the exact model
Definitely not a glock
Yeah likely a p320 m18 or m17 in FDE. I didn’t watch the video but he probably said that in the video aswell
I just watched the video, he didn’t say, but you’re right.
SIG broken. The accidental firings (one caught on camera) have ruined the trust of the company.
Ah shit you’re right, I didn’t look too closely at it. I saw the Lego brick shape and my mind went to Glock
Edit: Accidentally thought it was a Glock at first, my bad.
Sig boys are seething
Looks photoshopped in, though, and they blurred off markings
If you were an American cop, you would’ve unloaded over a 100 rounds on this guy’s back.
unloaded over 100 rounds on this guy’s back if he’s not white
FTFY
Mental Outlaw isn’t white, sooo…
Well, if it comes from florida man…
That looked like a toy to my non-American eyes
And that’s why they ban guns.
What about it makes it look like a toy?
I don’t really know, it just looks like a plastic toy your nephew would play with.
The fact that it looks like something from a 90s Judge Dredd comic and is a funny plasticcy colour. I would have totally gone for it when I was 9 though.
Yes, that’s a gun. Maybe its time for you to brush up on guns.
That’s not really knowledge I need day to day, lol
Thats not needed knowledge in many areas of the world. Police is still shooting people in Germany,
Core 2 Duo
wow
This reminds me of that copy pasta about having an old printer and a gun in case it does something unexpected; can’t remember the exact words though.
sorry for low resolution image
Tell me you’re American without telling me you’re American
I mean it’s MentalOutlaw
Oh I remember that guy, I watched like 2 videos and then removed them from my watch history hoping that YouTube wouldn’t recommend him again lol
based
If you have a YouTube watch history you are doing it wrong from a privacy and freedom perspective.
For real I keep that off 🤣
Or don’t use YouTube. There are plenty of third party clients
I exclusively use NewPipe on my phone, and it works well (although it seems comments broke recently, but I’m sure it’ll be fixed in due course), but I try to use Piped on PC and I find that it is significantly slower, most videos I have to play at 720p or lower, and it usually takes 20+ seconds to initially load. Being in Australia probably doesn’t help
Is there any other alternatives that I should consider?
I found FreeTube just recently and I really like it so far. It’s a desktop app that uses electron and the Invidious API. It supports 1080p and is really snappy, at least for me. https://freetubeapp.io
If you want a native client for Piped on your phone, check out LibreTube
If you want something closer to NewPipe on your PC, check out Invidious, Tubo or FreeTube if you want a native client. There’s also an Invidious client for Android called Clipious.
You can also try out Tubular on your phone, it’s a fork of NewPipe with some nice extra features like SponsorBlock integration
On my phone I use Libretube and for desktop I use Invidious.
The thing with Libretube is you have to flip though instances to get it to work.
They can’t rival the youtube app because if I want to have the same subscriptions on yt web I’m gonna need to subscribe on both apps. Revanced is perfectly fine for me
I wish he didn’t ramble as much as he does. Most of his videos could be a quarter of the length.
He’s kind of like that crazy prepper/survivalist uncle who lives in the ass end of nowhere, has a homemade fallout shelter stocked to the ceiling with canned chicken and peach, sleeps with a combat knife under his pillow, and rants about the government and agencies whenever he gets the chance. The family still keeps him around because he sometimes does something useful.
Luke Smith, on the other hand, is already out in the desert building a shrine to Old Man Atom.
Luke Smith would be the second least paranoid Arch user
There is no software solution that protects from a crowbar, you have to go to the hardware side.
Intellect is undoubtably a good thing,
But a lot of things are solved with your solid body
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I’m open-source; check me out at GitHub.
That quote goes hard for no reason
Average Mental Outlaw video
Mental Outlaw is a Gentoo user, BTW
Chad
That explains why he is still compiling
this is why I always laugh when people use biometrics. best case scenario, they use whatever it’s locked behind with you under duress. Worst case? they take whatever.
“I laugh at people who use security that is possible – unlikely – but possible, to defeat”
-Internet Chode #577645086
Security that is impossible to defeat is literally logically impossible
I dont get it. In that cenario, using Biometrics is not less secure as that wrench would convince you of telling the password.
Btw biometrics dont work on first boot on android, or after you used the wrong finger a few times on GrapheneOS. They will also implement a duress long-powerbutton-press feature in some future, to reboot the phone.
I dont get it. In that cenario, using Biometrics is not less secure as that wrench would convince you of telling the password.
A password is safer because they will need you alive and conscious. To bypass the biometrics, you just need the body part.
At least they need to keep you conscious and able to speak if its a password tho. Small mercies.
Okay maybe
The random person the receptionist let into the main office is not likely to chop my finger off to access my phone or computer. I don’t use biometrics because I don’t want Samsung and Microsoft having my fingerprints for their eventual reconstruction of humanity into Tleilaxu gholas in service to the shareholders.
the random person that wandered in is also unlikely to ask you for your keys or your password
Lol, he used this comic in the video as an example of what to do against a Wrench Attack (CVE-1800-4096), to shoot them before they beat you with the wrench.
Protecting your self is important not to mention shooting guns is fun.
Lol for protection you should have like… public healthcare and stuff
Also true
“Hello Mr. Deadly Attacker, you’re going to kill me with that knife? Well watch out because I’m going to defend myself with this universal healthcare!”
Stab stab
“Oh no! It seems that concepts, lacking physical properties of any kind, are inadequate defenses against a knife which contains actual matter! At least my family won’t be charged by the coroner if that counts as ‘healthcare,’ so that works out I guess!”
An attacker in a society where everyone has guns, will have a gun. And you cant protect yourself against a gun, with a gun. Thats the point.
If you want to protect people, you should build systems that protect people, not give everyone a murder weapon.
Here, some numbers.
See, that’s where you’re wrong. Not only does rely on an assumption that is flat out untrue, as people do get robbed and killed in America with other weapons all the time, but contrary to your claim guns can indeed be effective against guns, as cops, self defenders, and even gang members often prove.
I’m not going to bother going into the specifics on if you have a subsecond draw blah blah blah because let’s be honest you don’t really care, but again it has been demonstrated time and time again that guns are in fact an effective weapon against guns.
To my other point, of the four robberies that I’ve (or in one case a roommate) been victim of, only one was at gunpoint. One was just strong arm, two was my roommate got stabbed and then robbed, three was a home invasion (this was the one with guns), four was at knifepoint (unsuccessfully, because after #3 I picked up, you guessed it, a fucking gun.) #4 decided to walk away instead of stab me for some odd reason that “surely wasn’t me drawing my gun,” so I consider it a success.
Crazy. We for sure live in very different areas.
Did you consider using condoms, instead of shooting it?
Shooting guns is meh. I still prefer shooting just airsoft guns
I like both, airsoft does happen to be a whole lot cheaper though
And I don’t need ear protection
try to not go deaf by 40 after suppressor bans challenge [impossible]
not enough guns, needs a rifle and a shotgun at least.
Not just bikes, but with a twist
“How intensive gun usage solved my commute problems!”
That is the most cartoony/toy looking handgun I’ve seen in a good while
don’t let the US military know that you don’t like desert camos. they’ll get real mad
Just because of the color?
That’s the M-18
hey uh, open source guns when?
we already have them. It’s not hard to make a firearm, and the 3d printed weapons scene has taken off quite well. all of the good ones still need metal parts ofc, but they are pretty easy to get your hands on in many cases.
You can watch videos of people shooting them, many seem to work quite well.
They are nowhere near as reliable as a properly manufactured gun but they are still pretty solid for plastic and a bit of metal
Oh ya for sure
It really depends on the design and how much of it somebody is committed to 3D printing. If somebody wants to 3D print the bare minimum for legal purposes and use a parts kit for the rest, there’s a number of designs that seem identical in function to something factory made.
It’s not hard to make a firearm, but it’s pretty hard to make a good one. I could maybe make something about ten times worse than that thing that one Aussie kid made during WWI in his garage.
You’d be surprised.
ok but i still want my GNU approved gun. Give me my GNU gun goddamnit!
Are the metal parts gun specific or multipurpose?
specific parts. you need metal to withstand the pressures of the actual bullet to get a somewhat degree of reliability, so any pressure bearing part needs to be metal, everything else can be plastic, but the more metal the better. Now you can get some more basic designs with parts that you could fabricate at home, but a lot of the higher end designs require off the shelf gun parts.
The “leading design” right now is the FGC-9 which is actually seeing a degree of use in myanmar(??). The design requires metal parts that could be feasible to fabricate at home. However it is shockingly easy, even in heavily restricted countries, to be able to order the metal parts.
You can get parts or parts kits (random example) and make the receiver/frame (whatever the legal “gun” part happens to be on a design) yourself.
arch security
the decades long joke still keeps paying dividends. well done to trolls that kick-started the whole thing.
Hell yeah he’s the least. What is that, a 7 round mag? What a joke.
Sig p320, looks to be the M17/M18 version with a manual safety, not the extended 21rnd mag though, probably the 17rnd mag; unless CA, NJ, CT, IL, NY, MA, WA, (fuck I know I’m missing one or two), who restrict their citizens to 10rnds arbitrarily. That’s a double stack 9mm magazine, def more than 7rnds.
In theory it could be a .40sw, but afaik they don’t make them in that caliber and you’d need at least to rebarrel it if not need a new slide too, and new mags and such ofc. That isn’t impossible, because they do make those parts for the regular p320, but afaik they only make the 9mm version of the slide with the manual safety, more likely that it is stock.
You’re right though, the more rnds the better, but also concealability is a factor. Tbh, we don’t know if he has an AR with 100 surefire 60s stacked up right off camera, either, but we know that wouldn’t fit in his pants lol.
Looks like the [320-M18] model, which comes with a [15] round flush magazine. But mechanically it can take a longer magazine and we can’t see the bottom of it in the picture.
Do they make those in FDE and with a manual safety? That’d be news to me.
Ah you’re right. I guess this is 320-M18 model. I was looking at 320-M17s and thinking this looked to small to be that.
Found the American
Duh captain obvious, it’s basically either that or Czech and they don’t know much about variances in US state laws typically.
I remember he shit on new jersey and new york(validly) for having very expensive permits to carry so he’s probably in a freedom 🦅🇺🇸 state.
I believe that the gun he has is the sig Sauer p320 m18 or m17 which both have either 17 or 21 round magazines.
Looks like the [320-M18] model, which comes default with a [15] round flush magazine. Then again we can’t see the bottom in the picture and nothing is stopping him from putting an extended magazine in.
I think you’re right it’s an 18 not 17, you can see the mag clearly in the actual video and it’s the flush mag.
You guys are seeing something I’m not. Both that barrel length and the mag look way smaller to be what you guys are claiming. I’ve got a FN 509 that’s close what you guys are describing and it’s much bigger than that (although the angle of the pic could just be messing with my eyes)
https://duckduckgo.com/?q=sig+m18&t=fpas&ia=web
Must be the angle, it’s clearly a sig with the 15rnd mag and manual safety. They do also come with a 21 rounder, but this is the 15.
