A setting that pulls information from the clear net should be up to the user and not a default setting, IMO.

The discrepancy is because you looked up the noun, censorship. The censorship being referred to here is a legally defined term which is when the Government censors information;

The term censorship derives from the official duties of the Roman censor who, beginning in 443 b.c., conducted the census by counting, assessing, and evaluating the populace. Originally neutral in tone, the term has come to mean the suppression of ideas or images by the government or others with authority.

Look up censorship in a law dictionary and you’ll see the difference.

The only type of censorship that you have protection from is from the government. For example your employer can censor you completely legally. They can tell you that you’re not allowed to say certain things and if you do you can lose your job. All of that is perfectly legal. If the government does the same thing it’s illegal.

That’s the difference. Casual censorship versus Governmental censorship.

Thank you for being intelligent.

Censorship in most people’s contextual usage of it is Government censorship or protection from Government censorship–which is the only protection we have afforded to us by the Constitution.

For example you can be censored by your employer completely legally. They can tell you that you’re not allowed to say certain things and if you do you can be fired for those things completely legally. You still have the right to say them but you’re not free of consequence if you do.

The Government does not have the same right unless it deals with non-protected speech, like hate speech.

Decisions have consequences. Unfortunately some bad actors prefer certain TLDs because they’re easy to get and inexpensive. If you choose to also pursue one of those TLDs it’s lamentable but you’re kind of throwing your head into the same ring.

Censorship is blocking TLDs because you don’t like what they’re saying. Blocking TLDs because they’re mostly used by bad actors is just good threat assessment.

lol wtf

Does this key fob log every entry/exit?

Entirely depends on how the reader system is setup and configured. It’s likely, but not a guarantee.

He’s cautious with cell phones and leaves them at home, but wonders if the key fob could potentially cause problems.

They’re a passive, no power system. They require energy from the reader to function. They’re not exactly GPS trackers, but maybe someone somewhere has figured out a way to track them.

UFW is a wrapper which just makes interfacing with iptables bearable. UFW is iptables.

The performance you’re dealing with here is in the tens of milliseconds possibly hundreds if you’re lucky. Anyone seriously pursuing this issue from the angle of performance genuinely doesn’t understand the deep rooted issues here.

If you’re so incredibly hard up for compute time that it’s critical for you to squeeze out the extra 1/10 of a second from your system utilities then you need to shut your fucking computer down and go touch grass.

I mean even if this saves you 30 seconds a day 50 weeks a year 5 days a week that’s 2 hours per year it’s saving you… I’d rather slow fuck the two hours and get an extra 2 hours of pay.

The linux ecosystem, depending on which distro you choose, has anywhere from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of packages. There’s only select software that you can’t virtualize from Windows to Linux, so you may not even be required to find alternatives.

But without listing any software at all, it’s hard to tell you definitively…

IMO, if the project is open source, no courtesy is required. Specifically if the original maintainer hasn’t done anything with the repo in a decade.

Fork it, make your changes, and if you’re feeling generous in the readme drop the link for the original repo giving credit to the author. Anything more than that is above and beyond.

In the case where the original upstream was being updated, how do I integrate those with my changes?

#> cd project.git
#> git fetch upstream
#> git merge upstream/main

With democrats not wanting to stand up, and the judicial branch being silent, there’s nothing that can be done right this second. The best advice anyone not supposed to be here can have right now is to simply not be here. If you are, you might get caught and then sent to some inhumane bullshit camp they got popping up.

1. There are no “charge backs,” it’s not a credit card.
2. You can dispute any transaction, that’s US federal law

As for the “ease” I have no idea. I’ve never needed to do it. If you need the consumer protections to feel safe, then just use your credit card.

Even without install permissions, as a non-root user you can grab binaries generally. Store them in ~/.local/bin and add them to your $PATH via ~/.bashrc.

I’ve been using bin for a few weeks now and find it great for situations like this. Grab the binary, put it in your $PATH. Then just grab binaries from Github; bin install github.com/sharkdp/fd and it plops the binary in your ~/.local/bin folder. Works for updates, too;

Because of US financial laws the virtual card numbers are prefixed as prepaid cards. So in certain situations you’re going to have friction where the merchant you’re dealing with isn’t able to, or can’t use prepaid cards.

You understand that you have the freedom to…not use their services, right?

fd is in all of my environments.

I’m shockingly okay with this and I didn’t think I would be.

I feel like a small investment by users for support and continuing development in the broader scope of things is significantly better than developers searching for VC capital and other ways to fund their projects. That being said I don’t believe it’s going to work. But I would be interested in seeing data on any pilot programs they run.
