Maybe. Probably. I think you have to make sure it’s grounded

AFAIK it should protect it. Maybe even from any electromagnetic activity. But once away, I struggle with electronics and electricity

Electrical work is one of the many important skills I lack. I am not sure if I could open the microwave, remove the motor, close it again, and guarantee that the cage still works

Right? I’m not a prepper, but I find it’s a lof of fun to plan for this kind of thing. I never actually do, prepare anything, but I make mental notes. Right now the plan would be to get a Faraday cage, shove a microwave motor in there as AFAIK they can be great as generators, then a RPi, a tiny monitor and a downloaded copy of Wikipedia. I’d love to get some Lora devices so that I can give them to friends and family

That is the problem. If they kill a criminal it will be considered self defense. If they kill an agent, it will not

Also, if they are ice and they use lethal force, ice will use lethal force too and argue it was self defense

Seems to be a misunderstanding. We are in agreement. I mentioned it because it seems that was something that was debated. Not because I’m against the initiative

She continued: “At the same time, the Government also recognises the concerns from the video gaming industry about some of the campaign’s asks. Online video games are often dynamic, interactive services—not static products—and maintaining online services requires substantial investment over years or even decades.”

I think everybody agrees that “digital ownership must be respected”. But if you check, you don’t own the games. You own licences. You may keep the licence after servers shut down. It is total BS, but we allowed it.

I have to agree that killing online only games makes sense because they can’t be forced to run the server forever, not they can be forced to release the source code. But offline / solo / bots should keep working.

Fair

Sometimes it’s hard to figure out when the government is smart and evil and when it’s stupid and evil.

Yeah. That is a given. Bounty hunters in this case are people not only without morals (like ice) but also do not like following orders…

Wait. Are they actually worse people than ice? Of course ice does way more damage to people and they do hire them so they are guilty of their crimes, but for once, they might actually not be the people with the least morals in the room

I’m not in or from the us but I see two possible good outcomes of this. Node: THIS IS VERY MUCH WISHFUL THINGKING AND I KNOW IT WONT HAPPEN. Do not get mad, I’m just shitposting

1. Since they “can’t have a trial for anyone” bounty hunters claim the reward with no proof and the government gets scammed without anyone actually getting deported
2. Since the hunters are scamming the government, the government decides to implement a process in which the identity of the deported has to be confirmed before deporting them which gives them a chance to prove their nationality and defend themselves

I know this won’t happen. I believe that the government and the hunters both hate poor people so the hunter will round up ally he poor, and the government won’t care if they are the wrong person. Also, I think there is a high likelihood that the hunters are given the same powers as ice like search without a warrant and so on

It can be 1000x faster because it analog. Analog things take very very little time to compute stuff. We don’t generally use them because they are very hard to get the same result twice and updating is also hard

Nah. The Chinese surveillance company would still sell your data to the us

This is a very stupid rant and I already know people will downvote me(it has happened before)

The internet is no long just a network of computers. It has at least 2 centralized points

• icaan controls names and numbers. That includes DNS and IP addresses. When the Ukraine Russia war started they were asked to disconnect Russia from the internet by rejecting their IPS. They said no, but COULD have yes. Also, companies like google and amazon can get their own TLD (.aws and .ggl) you you and I can’t because we are not buddies with them
• certificate authorities: there is a fucking huge list of companies that are allowed to sign certificates. No, you can’t just get on that list, you have to ask permission and be audited. If ONE of them fucks up, there are serious consequences for EVERYBODY (yes, I know certificate pinning is a thing, but still)

Edit: oh. Also email. Want to host your own email? Good luck, everything is marked as spam, and you can’t do it on a home connection because the port is blocked

Eight Sleep confirmed that while AWS was down, the metrics collection system was still working using internal memory. This means the dead man’s switch is engaged, and any attempt to power it off would violate the terms of service, causing the bed’s very obvious human-sized mousetrap to have its safety disengaged.

are you being dense on purpose? sender and recipient are both users. never twitter.

i’m not saying that twitter’s messaging is secure. the opposite. what i’m saying is that you statement of “All end to end means is there’s a blocker preventing the network from seeing what you send not twitter” is 100% objectively wrong.

That is NOT end to end encryption. That is transport layer encryption. So basically SSL

End to end is from sender to recipient. No one in the middle should be able to read anything

Man. Props to the team. At least from my perspective (I’m not into distro hoping anymore) they came out of nowhere and people absolutely loved them. I should give them a test on a VM, specially since I’ve been recommending against them because I didn’t think they are a good fit for llinux newcomers
