The times we live in.

I want off this ride.

They’re going to put you in jail anyway. May as well stop providing them with the money to do it.

‘I wish’ but I’m certainly not going to hold my breath.

I’m not confident there will be significant resistance from within the US anymore. I feel like it’s more likely the US collapses into fascist authoritarianism, festers and grows until it spills over and the rest of the world manages/is forced to unite and clean up this mess. (ie actual full blown WW3, at the scale of previous world wars.)

I would love to be proven wrong though.

I can’t think of a place more deserving of a mass-shooting than this room.

At least right now, there is no way the US declares a war of aggression against a former Ally and doesn’t fall into Civil War. It will take a hell of a lot of internal suppression for that to change

A $200 billion army explicitly created to suppress US citizens ought to fix that.

They are.

That’s actually one of the better scenarios.

Currently; it looks like MAGA is building the world’s third largest military force that’s greenlit to operate on US soil kidnapping and disappearing ANYONE without given reason, no legal process, and 0 recourse.

You’ll be fucking lucky if that money just disappears into some billionaires pockets.

Anyone can cosplay as an ICE agent; all you’ve gotta do is remove your license plate and wear a facemask+hat.

Not sure if just ‘haha tech-rhyme, using common error message’ or deeper:

Connection reset by peer = Other party ended the conversation. Immediately after you’d stated you’re queer…

They don’t use the same words I use, burn them at the stake!!

/s

What are the beavers releasing and why do they need licenses?

A lot of the hate comes from Microsoft forcing it down everyones throats.

If it had been left to user choice, they may actually have a decent userbase; but instead it’s been forcefully installed on pretty much every windows computer regardless of the owners preferences, it repeatedly re-asserts itself as the default browser, some windows features are hard-coded to use it and break if its removed, there is no simple uninstall process, and windows update will re-install it if you manually remove it.

It’s my damn computer; if I don’t want a piece of software, I should be able to remove it.

Ditched Windows entirely 2 years ago partly because of that, partly because of the same upcoming behaviour with AI. Fuck Microshaft, I’ll take my money and attention elsewhere. (I was previously paying for/using pro licenses, for features like RDP hosting)

 sudo chown -R <user> /

Never have a permission issue again! Lmao

Participated in democracy? Devoured by vampires, lmao

But if you’re born in the USA, you didn’t agree to any ToS it was forced upon you at birth. Never chose to accept/agree to them, but obligated to follow them or face punishment.

A contract signed under duress is invalid.

-having no personal insight/knowledge of japan’s drug scene, just my impressions-

Saying you’ve found none in six years, doesn’t make me think there’s none comming through; I immediately think you haven’t been looking very hard.

Finding very little I could understand, but NONE? Na, you need to try harder.

An $11/yr domain pointed at my IP. Port 443 is open to nginx, which proxies to the desired service depending on subdomain. (and explicitly drops any connection that uses my raw ip or an unrecognized name to connect, without responding at all)

ACME.sh automatically refreshes my free ssl certificate every ~2months via DNS-01 verification and letsencrypt.

And finally, I’ve got a dynamic IP, so DDClient keeps my domain pointed at the correct IP when/if it changes.

There’s also pihole on the local network, replacing the WAN IP from external DNS, with the servers local IP, for LAN devices to use. But that’s very much optional, especially if your router performs NAT Hairpinning.

This setup covers all ~24 of the services/web applications I host, though most other services have some additional configuration to make them only accessible from LAN/VPN despite using the same ports and nginx service. I can go into that if there’s interest.

Only Emby/Jellyfin, Ombi, and Filebrowser are made accessible from WAN; so I can easily share those with friends/family without having to guide them through/restrict them to a vpn connection.

You can use cloudflares DNS and not use their WAF (the proxy bit) just fine. I have been for almost a decade.

So hold them in contempt and seize a couple warehouses.

They don’t bat an eye at casual fines; so hit the business itself.

For months, masked individuals with no police agency markings have been leaping out of unmarked vehicles that have no licence plates, refusing to identify themselves in any way, then kidnapping people off of the streets; and not one of them has faced any true resistance.

What the fucked has happened to America. Is “hey don’t do that”, really all you’ve got???
