How is this preventing anyone booting up an old pc and sharing a usb key data. This is utter nonsense made to control people and instigate fear and self censorship... this is 'the system' discovering the internet in slow motion and immediately pushing its boot over it. We live in an artificial moral panic that should have no place in the minds of smart people.
tried to roll my own email server on a .xyz domain...basically a big no go, couple of emails went through, then nothing, just a black hole. Thanks corpos and the safety theatre.
as much as I'm all for the freedom of knownledge, given the sorry state of the world, releasing these tools to imbecils is not peak foresight.. mcafee for linux next ha../s
when the state if the nation is so bad that you have homeless everywhere, healthcare, housing and education are something you have to fight for, prisons are a business, suddenly another perspective seems more alluring, a modern Nordic socialism? putting a brake to unhinged late stage capitalism? or on the darker side, a promise of better conditions in 'some ways'...this is no national security risk, people are getting simply fed up with appalling state of the nation.
Interesting behaviour, usually any normal rope knot makes the rope weaker at the point of maximum curvature/choking etc. Would be enlightening to get a comparison why the different behaviours, just a scale/friction non linearities?
Unhinged capitalism will be the cause of the most devastating global crisis that is just around the corner. You can see it very easily on a simplex plot, you cannot solve for anything useful, like global quality of life, when there are parameters that have infinites, ie infinite 'growth' bullshit. It's a closed system, limited planet. We need to find a better metric, and forget about 'getting rich, work all your life' crap, when you are dead you take few cubic meters of space including ground, all your real estate 'investing' and stress, they just end 6ft under.
It really boils down to medical professionals developing one or more protocols to a peaceful death, this has been hindered by too much religious crap being forced down to everyone. Just give me a bag of nox and leave me high and happily pass out and die ffs.
Also I think the real estate disaster is one of the main culprits of most 'common people' problems. One cannot afford an early retirement from a taxing job, cos guess what mortgage is a criminal 10-15x their yearly salary..so good luck pensioning before 70...if at all. Here in the UK this has reached absurd levels and nobody in the goverment says a word about it in real (and no, 'easier access to credit' is absolutely not the right answer)... pay 5-6 pounds for a filter coffee and a plain croissant.. cos the tiny shop has to pay 100k / year in rent.... it's just a road to civil war... hopefully soon.
I ran a citadel mail server on a pi, using a xyz domain..worked for few days before getting blocked as possible spam from google..no appartent solution... the old internet is indeed broken..
soon we'll own our lives to some 'benign' all knowledgeable government...I guess it's where everything is heading, all needs to be measured, assessed, risks calculated, resources optimized.. and nobody seems to be too worried, maybe it's just evolution in action... quite terrifying if you ask me.
absolutely agree, probably the worst general category in wikipedia, feels very much Bourbakian, extreme rigor and nothing else. Worst way to teach/introduce math imho.
