The same goes for domain names; do NOT use a public domain name you do not control in your configuration, documentation, or UI language.

Instead, use one of the available reserved domain names documented in RFC 2606, such as 'example.com', 'example.net', or the .example top-level domain.

❌ test.com
❌ yourdomain.com
✅ example.com
✅ yourdomain.example

Pass it on to your fellow developers, designers, documentation writers, and so forth.

“Prosecutors in Germany have confirmed a press report that investigators have listened in on phone calls of climate activists from the Letzte Generation ("Last Generation") group, sparking widespread outrage Sunday.”

State surveillance of climate activists based on bullshit reasons, like ’suspected of forming a criminal organisation’ 😒

Since I keep seeing developers use ‘pretty’ IP addresses like ’1.2.3.4’ in example configurations; a reminder that you MUST NOT use publicly routable addresses that you do not control in your code.

Instead, use one of the available 'TEST-NET' IPv4 or IPv6 ranges documented in RFC 6890;

192.0.2.0/24
198.51.100.0/24
203.0.113.0/24

❌ 1.2.3.4
✅ 192.0.2.4

and for IPv6;

✅ 2001:db8::/32

Pass it on to all of your fellow developers, documentation writers, and so forth.

On December 9th, 2019, the Dutch counterterrorism unit put out another report stating that far-right extremism doesn't really pose a threat, because 'barely organised', while warning again about jihadists, left-wing extremists, and the climate movement.

"The FBI has had concerns about white supremacist activity within the military and law enforcement for a long time, but there's little evidence of investigations into it."

The Southern Poverty Law Center flagged this in 2008, for example;

It's basically the Sturmabteiling;

Remember; Western christianity is the original white supremacist cross-border organising network, well-funded, and backed by empire.

They have been at it for a very long time, and know how to play the long game. Temporary setbacks don't matter, because they will win across generations. What they view as 'persecution' is expected, revered even.

"A neo-Nazi group in northern Italy had sent members to allegedly fight alongside Russia-backed separatists in the Donbass region of Ukraine. Apparently, the group brought some things back from their adventures—including a French-made air-to-air missile that somehow found its way from Qatar into the home of a neo-fascist extremist."

Weapons, Nazi and other fascist relics, the works.

You're more likely to live near a white supremacist zealot who is preparing for 'race war’ than any flavour of jihadi. The religious extremists you should be worried about are white, in power, and supported by the State.

One of the ways in which I used Twitter was to build a timestamped record for myself, something that couldn't easily be tampered with, as a set of receipts that could be referred to later.

Since last year's buyout by the Edgelord Messiah it could no longer be relied on for this, and while I had started to rebuild some of my ongoing threads on .lol, that too went away, so it is once again time to restart my longest-running thread, which documented the ways in which fascists and nazis are organised and affiliated, not lone wolves.

Will be a long, ongoing thread, mute if the hashtag if you need to.
