  • That would be a great follow-up joke.

    Now if she chooses the dirty pickup line, you respond with "girl, are you a viking steel crucible? 'Cause I'd put a bone in you."

  • What will the cops do, shoot them all?

    His security detail might. Shooting civilians is their specialty.

  • So what is the reason for doing it that way?

  • Something my opponents always smugly point to right when I've found a mate in 15

  • And you think that's going to happen by removing the trashcans?

  • The point is that fascism is not unique to the US, i.e. not everyone from the US is fascist and the EU also has fascists. To imply that universally EU=good and US=bad is nationalistic. Just be aware thay this sentiment may also attract people who join out of a sense of national pride rather than anti-fascism.

  • As long as it's not an exit node, nobody will be able to tell what the traffic is. It's all encrypted including the metadata.

  • This 100%.

    The US bullied the rest of the world into passing these anti-circumvention laws that make it illegal to modify the appliances you buy. Stick it to them and let us run our own firmware free of US cloud services.

  • Last I checked Ukraine is ceding a lot of ground in Kursk. Are you saying that's all a lie?

  • The remaining issues could be mass surveillance

    Might there be a problem like this with this DNS from the EU?

    Unfortunately yes. Some member states have laws requiring ISPs (and presumably also DNS recursors) to log all traffic data, although this was partially restricted by the EU's top court. It's difficult to say what exactly is shared with law enforcement and this may well change in the near future.

  • The most important thing is to not go for options like Google (8.8.8.8) or Cloudflare (1.1.1.1), which a lot of techies default to.

    Using your ISP's DNS is actually relatively okay, because they are quite well regulated by the GDPR and ePrivacy Directive (e.g. they cannot sell your traffic data or use it for advertising without proper freely-given consent) and you're already paying them so they don't need to sell your data to turn a profit. In most cases this configuration is good enough.

    The remaining issues could be mass surveillance (some EU member states force ISP's to keep traffic logs for fighting crime). Switching to a third party NS recursor could work, but you would then have to trust them.

    Or perhaps you want DNS over TLS or HTTPS, which not all ISPs offer. Without that, DNS is unencrypted so an wiretapper between you and your ISP could monitor what websites you visit. But such an attack isn't very likely to happen.

    Lastly, some internet censorship is done by forcing ISP's to block domains at the DNS level. Using a different DNS recursor gets around that, as long as there are no more sophisticated blocks in place.

  • Arooo, that may be so. But I know a place where the constitution doesn't mean squat!

  • Fun fact: some of these are made specifically for US prisons because you can't hide contraband in them.

  • As someone who knows nothing about entomology, it reminded me of this one beetle with a comically large pointy bit. I think it's called a hercules beetle.

  • That fact that you think "idealistic version of early US" is a compliment is very telling.

  • Your proposal is just an idealistic version of early US. You claim that corruption is fundamentally impossible, but assume that magically "the monarchs aren't allowed to own property" without regard to enforcement. You claim to have an alternative to democracy but still propose majority voting on replacing rulers and constitutions. You simply assume that monarchs will keep each other in check and not devolve into the conspiring, warmongering tyrants that history is full of.

    Power can always be abused to get more power and go against all your original ideals. The only way to definitely prevent corruption is to ensure power is never concentrated in the hands of few.

  • Both, but the US in particular.
