  • There are nation states just straight up intercepting and storing signal data on their networks in hopes that it can be decrypted in the future. 20 year old messages will still be useful.

  • Heres everyone’s daily reminder that the luddites were not anti-technology.

    They were the high-skilled tech workers of their time! They were concerned with the power and wealth concentration that came with industrialists that used automation and abused low skilled labour to make obscene profits. They even proposed plans to phase in the new tech in a humane way before turning to the (ultimately failure of a) strategy to target and destroy specific machines.

    Groups like the EFF and tech labour unions have more of a connection with the luddites than people who get together the bust their own iphones.

  • Absolutely! I should have said both the dns and certificate are subdomain wildcards. Thanks for clarifying.

  • I remember being in some lecture halls where, if someone didnt have the greatest vision, the low contrast of chalk could have been a problem near the back. Otherwise, it was fine I guess.

  • In addition to a reverse proxy with mandatory TLS and some IP filtering, I have headscale running on a sub domain (subdomain dns is a wildcard). The main domain is a different, static web page, so anyone scanning IPs for headscale wont see its a headscale machines unless they can guess the subdomain. I figure that might be useful in case theres a zero day that pops up. It just looks like a regular web server to drive-by script kiddies.

  • This is how they deal with rape in those communities - make the girl marry him. Then all sins are forgiven.

  • Just an anecdote but a friend has an early nissan leaf. Its range is well less than 100km now, but works nicely for their second vehicle for around town.

  • Even the 80% number is still a fully functional car for regular commuting and errands. Its just the echo of range anxiety mostly.

  • I just created a specific folder for it, then in Subscription management, click the little gear beside the folder heading and play with the purge settings for that folder.

  • Yunohost for sure. And start simple. One service

  • The purpose of the electric latch is to save the frameless window panes. It can lower the window slightly in the instant before it opens, to break the seal and avoid torsion on the glass.

    Now, frameless windows are stupid and not necessary, so theres that. One dumb idea propagates another.

  • Floccus is so neat. Way more than just Mozilla's sync.

  • Which shows that wholesale, data subcriptions are probably a few dollars a year.

  • Automated license plate readers (both fixed abd mobile) means old cars are tracked as well.

  • Well, we have like 3 decades at most of this kind of tech, and really only a couple of generations modern capitalism, so it's a bit tough to say "always" about anything. It would be more accurate, historically, to say that the monarchy always wins - but especially in that case - past performance does not guarantee future returns.

  • People expanded to places with resources that they could live in, or bring back home. There are no resources that we know of in space that are not more easily accessed on Earth, and living out there would require a material investment from Earth that would be devastating.

    Most of the Earth is currently empty of humans, while space is colder than Antarctica, and less accessible than both the top of Everest and the bottom of the Mariana trench. You could build a city in any of those 3 places easier than even low-earth-orbit and any other celestial body would be thousands of times harder still.

  • There's no job from those times you couldn't do today while literally living better than they did. Quit your job, give away everything you own and go live in a tent in the woods harvesting mushrooms: Your life would still be better than theirs because you would still have access to some emergency healthcare, foodbanks when you are starving, and be protected from marauding pillagers.

  • Even being a king of that time would be a brutal life in a lot of ways. Death all around and a piss-poor chance of surviving any given year with every bit of your body intact and functional, extremely limited dietary variety, and the smell. Oh god the smell.

  • Yeah, camping and campfires are nice. They are nice because they are temporary and by choice.
