  • Mexican man dies in immigration detention in Arizona

    Jump

  • Yeah, Anne Frank’s family wasn’t intentionally hiding from some big scary death camps… They were hiding from deportation. Germany was deporting jews, and the Franks went into hiding to avoid deportation. Death camps weren’t even really on their radar. They knew prison was likely, and that the conditions in those prisons weren’t great. But they didn’t realize just how bad the camps were, until they were already there.

  • Yeah, metallic dragons are basically revered as minor gods in many instances. Those mfers are powerful, and they’re definitely not something that you throw at a low level party.

  • How to selfhost with a VPN

    Jump

  • I think it’s technically possible, but your IP likely isn’t static, especially if you’re using a VPN. You’d need a new cert every time your IP changed.

  • How OnlyFans Piracy Is Ruining the Internet for Everyone | Innocent sites are being delisted from Google because of copyright takedown requests against rampant OnlyFans piracy.

    Jump

  • Yup. People talking about DMCA reform, or adding penalties for false takedown requests… In reality, this is the DMCA working exactly as intended. It’s like discussing police reform, but the police are functioning exactly how the ruling class want them to.

  • In areas where Republicans are the majority (like Louisiana) it’s not uncommon for left leaning people to register and vote in the Republican primaries and then vote Democratic in the election

    Yeah, this is me. I live in a district that will 100% without a doubt always go red. It’s gerrymandered to hell and back, and a democrat has absolutely zero chance of winning here… So I register R, and vote for the least crazy republican in the primaries. Because that’s the only time my vote will actually have any impact on the result. Whoever wins the republican primary will win the district, (and any democrat would be better than the crazies coming out of the Republican Party), so I try to influence the former as much as possible. Then I vote blue in the general so my stats are counted as a blue vote.

  • We are stopping shipments to the US - Kiwix

    Jump

  • The last I read, de minimis still applied. I didn't know until now that was done with.

    You can blame companies like Temu for putting a spotlight on de minimis. Their entire business model was built around exploiting de minimis to never pay any taxes. Rather than importing a single shipping container valued above the de minimis amount, they list it as like 10000 individual items, each under the de minimis limit.

    It was overwhelming port authorities who didn’t have the manpower to handle that much paperwork for what should have been listed as a single shipment. The tariffs originally didn’t touch de minimis, but then the feds noticed that companies were essentially evading tariffs by only shipping low value items.

  • ‘It happened so fast’: the shocking reality of indoor heat deaths in Arizona

    Jump

  • Multiple units is usually a matter of cubic feet, not backups. A single unit can only cool so much air, so larger houses often need multiple units to achieve enough cooling. It could also be an area control thing, like maybe the upstairs unit is separate from downstairs, so you can cool upstairs even when downstairs is already cool. Because hot air rises, so upstairs tends to be warmer.

  • Israel hatches plan to kidnap Greta Thunberg into “terrorist-level conditions”

    Jump

  • Yeah, the photo they choose is always a great litmus test for whether or not the article will be biased in one way or another. If an article has a flattering photo, it’s probably going to be praising the subject of the photo. If it has them looking silly, (and to be clear, in this photo Greta looks like she’s failing to hold in a fat shit while she waddles to the toilet), then it’ll probably be critical of them.

  • Trump says he plans unconstitutional executive order to mandate ID for voters

    Jump

  • Yup, flood the courts and demand appeals whenever judges block things. The goal is to overwhelm the system in the short term. While judges and lawyers are busy setting court dates that are weeks away, the regime will carry on as if the EO is legal.

  • LandChad, a site dedicated to turning internet peasants into Internet Landlords

    Jump

  • You can also just run something like Cloudflare-DDNS to automatically update your IP directly with cloudflare. If a domain registrar already manages your domain, there’s little reason to rely on a third-party service for DDNS.

  • how to start with self-hosting?

    Jump

  • Yeah, my only note is that Docker on Windows is… Kinda fucky? It uses WSL to run Linux in the background, which means that the volumes it creates aren’t easily accessible by Windows. If your container requires editing a config.json, for instance… That can be daunting for a newbie on Windows, because they won’t even know how to find the file.

    You can work around this by mounting your volumes directly to a C:\ folder instead, but that’s something that many tutorials just completely skip past because they assume you already know that.

  • Should i pirate EVERYTHING or only things that i bought, but do not own?

    Jump

  • I used to only pirate things that I owned in different formats, (like owning a DVD, but wanting to watch it on my iPad), or planned on buying in the near future. But nowadays, it feels more like stealing from billionaires is a moral imperative.

  • And the ability to rapidly pivot and discard all the preparation you did is THE most important skill for a good DM.

    A good DM prepares an intricate and fulfilling dungeon for the party.

    A great DM knows to leave half of the space empty, for when the players decide to smash straight through the goddamned wall and you need to improvise secret rooms.

    And a fantastic DM knows that the content of the dungeon is constantly in flux until the party perceives it. They may have the floor plan and ideas for each room laid out, but the Macguffin they came here to claim is always in the farthest point away from wherever the party entered. It is Schrödingers treasure chest, simultaneously positioned in every room and none of the rooms of the dungeon until the party perceives it. Party sneaks in through the basement? The macguffin is in the attic. Party sneaks in through the attic? The macguffin is in the basement.

  • Mastodon says it doesn't 'have the means' to comply with age verification laws

    Jump

  • Ideally, it would be handled directly on the hardware. Allow people to verify their logged in profile, using a government-run site. Then that user is now verified. Any time an age gate needs to happen, the site initiates a secure handshake directly with the device via TLS, and asks the device if the current user is old enough. The device responds with a simple yes/no using that secure protocol. Parents can verify their accounts/devices, while child accounts/devices are left unverified and fail the test.

    Government doesn’t know what you’re watching, because they simply verified the user. People don’t need to spam an underfunded government site with requests every day, because the individual user is verified. And age gates are able to happen entirely in the background without any additional effort on the user’s side. The result is that adults get to watch porn without needing to verify every time, while kids automatically get a “you’re not age-verified” wall. And kids can’t MITM the age check, due to the secure handshake. And if it becomes common enough, even a VPN would be meaningless as adult sites will just start requiring it by default.

    For instance, on a Windows machine, each individual user would be independently verified. So if the kid is logged into their account, they’d get an age wall. But if the parent is logged into their verified account, they can watch all the porn they want. Then keeping kids away from porn is simply a matter of protecting your adults’ computer password.

    But it won’t happen, because protecting kids isn’t the actual goal. The actual goal is surveillance. Google (and other big tech firms like them) is pushing to enact these laws, because they have the infrastructure set up to verify users. And requiring verification via those big tech firms allows them to track you more.

  • Vivaldi takes a stand: keep browsing human

    Jump

  • IIRC it’s used by a few devices that aren’t really built for web browsing. I think the PlayStation browser, some smart TV browsers, and the Kindle browser all use WebKit? But none of those devices are really intended for browsing. They just sort of have the browser bolted onto the side as an “I guess if you REALLY need to use a browser and have no other alternatives” option.
