Just because I don't care what you have to say doesn't mean I won't fight you if you try to enact the dumb bullshit your fairy tales tell you

That's just less tip for the server if I have to do their job for them.

Lol, we can't even get ISPs to not pass traffic from their networks with source IPs they don't even fucking own. Getting telcos (more often than not the same people) to spend money on a new technology is going to be difficult when they refuse to update a goddamned router config.

I aggressively block ads, but being a server admin, I still have to see ads frequently when in a customer server and I have to browse for anything. I hate it so much.

If they're allowed to keep that data, then that needs to be addressed immediately. It'd be all kinds of fucked up.

Don't worry, they probably use a third party to have this that says it deleted the data, doesn't, and will be hacked within a year.

Wait, no. Do worry.

kids will just use VPNs" >> some will, but maybe govs will finally realise how stupid trying to block things are and actually start regulating social media properly

We're seeing in real time that some (US) states that pass these stupid age verification laws are already going after VPNs instead of realizing their law is dumb.

I can guarantee they're going to try to completely outlaw VPNs before they do any kind of meaningful regulation on social media, when they can use that as a massive data warehouse by making favorable decisions to the oligarchs running them.

It's hilarious how little the qtards are up in arms about literal evidence of a deep state pedophile cabal, but some emails that were entirely innocuous outside of the melted brain goo leaking from their ears. Jeffrey wasn't talking about walnut sauce in his emails about touching children, so it could mean anything!

Well, not 'haha' hilarious, more 'existential crisis caused by countrymen with IQs lower than freezer temp' hilarious.

Like the other user said, porn implies some level of consent which children cannot give. Calling it csam ensures there's no confusion about it being abuse.

Just add being in the shower and that's what I do. Plus, I don't have issues with not being able to touch my face, and washing it after helps me find the spots I missed the first time

Oh gee, if you've never seen it, all the articles and personal experiences I've had must not actually have happened.

It's not that much different from ChatGPT really - just slightly less restricted.

It's also explicitly modified by Elmo and crew. There are multiple examples of MechHitler's output changing after it comes up publicly. Here's a previous comment I made (to you) on a very similar topic

https://web.archive.org/web/20250907142801/https://sfist.com/2025/09/02/report-groks-responses-have-indeed-been-getting-more-right-wing-just-like-elon-musk/

Enter Grok, which the public started being able to play around with about two years ago, as the chatbot has received several updates and lives on the X platform. But there was issues in May, when Grok was spitting out responses that seemed to parrot Elon Musk's and Donald Trump's own misguided promotion of a "white genocide" occurring in South Africa — the country that made anti-Black racism and apartheid famous. This was blamed on a "rogue employee" inserting some code.

In mid-July, we had reports confirming that Grok actively sought out Musk's opinion on issues in its openly displayed logic flow, looking to see if an issue was something Musk had off-hand opined about on Twitter in the last decade. One widely shared example showed Grok seeking out Musk's thoughts on which side of the Ukraine War it supported.

Now the New York Times does an even deeper dive, since the release of Grok4 on July 9, looking at how Grok's responses to various questions have changed just over the last few months. And you can look no further than Musk's own, very transparent reaction to a Grok response that got flagged by a conservative user on X on July 10.

Responding to the question "What is currently the biggest threat to Western civilization and how would you mitigate it?", Grok responded, "the biggest current threat to Western civilization as of July 10, 2025, is societal polarization fueled by misinformation and disinformation."

Once it was flagged, Musk replied to the user, "Sorry for this idiotic response. Will fix in the morning."

So, there's the smoking gun that Musk is tailoring this bot's responses to conform to his own views of the world. When asked the same question on July 11, Grok responded, "The biggest threat to Western civilization is demographic collapse from sub-replacement fertility rates (e.g., 1.6 in the EU, 1.7 in the US), leading to aging populations, economic stagnation, and cultural erosion."

If you really see grok as less restrictive, that's just because the restrictions confirm to your biases.

No, it's the Beat-Alls

Yeah, like choosing to be born poor or a persecuted minority.

Or just skip a step and go read neonazi propaganda

China has consistently some of the highest government satisfaction rates in the world

it's hard to conceive 90+% of the population being satisfied with the central government, everyone here hates our government and politicians.

You're so close to tripping over the fact that authoritarian governments can't be trusted to provide honest answers. Who wants to say you're unsatisfied when doing so could get you vanned?

. if the duration is 45 days then they will give you 365/45 certificates ?

Minimum. We get through digicert at work, and we abuse the hell out of our wildcard and reissue it tons of times a year. You're buying a service for the year, not an individual cert.

Given that automating things like this is annoying sometimes, you'll be sure people will max out the 45 days…

I know from professional experience that this is a stupid as fuck idea that leads to outages. One of the many reasons I'm working to automate those annoying ones.

Also, don't let perfect be the enemy of better.

Lol, never had to buy a cert huh?

You're still buying a year or more at a time, no matter the lifetime of the cert itself. Even if the cert lifetime was a week, you're still buying the same product, no matter how many times you rotate it.

Personally, yes. Everything is behind NPM and SSL cert management is handled by certbot.

Professionally? LOL NO. Shit is manual and usually regulated to overnight staff. Been working on getting to the point it is automated though, but too many bespoke apps for anyone to have cared enough to automate the process before me.

And you still ~~can't~~ can self certify.

Skill issue, you've always been able to self certify. You just have to know where to drop the self signed cert or the parent/root cert you use to sign stuff.

If you're running windows, it's trivial to make a self signed cert trusted. There's an entire certificate store you can access that makes it easy enough you can double click it and install it and be on your way. Haven't had a reason to figure it out on Linux, but I expect it won't be super difficult.

note that the max duration was reduced from 3 years to 398 days earlier this year)

2020 really has been the longest year of my life
