I spent way too much time wondering why my RSS script wasn’t grabbing a particular site, only for the site owner to reveal the other day that they’ve gone darknet-only.

@ryo Almost any time there is a sequel in some beloved franchise, there are always a crowd who insist that the new version is ruined and that the prior version is the only real, pure, ordained game, bestowed upon them by the lady of the lake. I saw it happen with Starcraft, Super Smash Bros, and quite a few other games.

@ryo @bronze As of November 2022, 19% of all websites use cloudflare. I would consider it Russian roulette just visiting any new page.

@bot @Hoss @TerminalAutism @ryo @sweet_peony ISPs being bullied by regulators into disallowing traffic associated with instances.

@TerminalAutism @ryo I’m not joking when I suggest sneakernet. I have upwards of 4TB that I am prepared to share with likeminded people, in person, if it comes to that.

@ryo @TerminalAutism

or DollarVigilante (until a few months ago I thought they were legit, but I got pretty warry of them after the crypto bull run last year with promises that never went true, not only crypto, but geo-political and economical too), or some other “I’m bringing you the news of the day or week” person or organization that does all the thinking for you.

I’ve come to the conclusion that these types largely serve to filter and relay the mass media narrative to the dissenting crowd. It is probably better not to pay attention at all (I just trialed doing so for the last few months). It started to become quite sad to see Jeff, for example, open so many reports with “…and I haven’t watched television for years, I don’t pay attention to any of it anymore” and then he proceeds to talk about the current narrative for the remaining 50 minutes.

I think it’s time to just refocus on our various crafts.

Doesn’t even make sense for a internet blackout to happen

It does if you consider the end goals. The blackout would not be universal. Just widespread enough to disrupt the daily activities of normies, get them fired up at “these dangerous hackers, won’t the government just do something about it already?!”. Then to implement significant barriers to the operation of small/independent sites so that only FAANG & friends can afford to exist on the web.

@ryo @TerminalAutism More than that. They had been turning the key in the ignition waiting for the engine to start nearly every year; bird flu, ebola, zika, and others filled the gaps from 2009 through to convid.

@ryo That’s it. When I first installed it was just opening a tab to 0.0.0.0 but all is good now.

@ryo It has some issues directing to the management panel although that could be something else in my config blocking it.

@ryo @Beefki

Internet activity map by day and night. A good reference to have when you’re coordinating with individuals on different continents.

@mint @inference The authors of those papers do state that it would be difficult to replicate outside of a lab environment. I don’t think the goal is to scaremonger average buyers as most people have never and will never hear of spectre, meltdown, retbleed or any other CPU execution vulnerability. The real target is probably corporate clients with their obsessive compliance strategies who need to perpetually check all the boxes of arbitrary “security” checklists.

@WarrenFahyAuthor

in the wake of the vaxes is vaccine guilt. People who feel regret and shame, even, that they got the vax.

If the injected people I knew could even make it that far, I’d consider it progress. They all still think that the injections are the greatest thing ever and literally saved the population of earth from certain death.

@Suiseiseki @colinsmatt11 Very few people seem to understand this. Calorie intake is like 90% determinant of body weight while physical activity affects maybe only 10%. It is possible to laze around doing nothing and still lose weight if one just does portion control.

@Alt_Name The upper right panel does happen unironically and nobody has a problem with it because everyone knows it’s harmless.

@iska @khan I pirate because DRM is cancer.

@DarkSky Option #4: no phone

@xianc78 @matrix Or the Facebook shell of the program dies, they shed it and some other Sequoia Capital funded shell takes its place.
