There's one in particular who for some undefined reason has been able to essentially say 'go off and do this thing' that my own brain said is stupid and impossible, and then I succeeded at doing the thing.
Probably the first example, when I had finally gotten the idea to do some gym work (which she helped at that too) I commented to the effect of maybe I could look at doing a 5k. So she says let's go do 14k which of course sounded nuts, so we went and did that. Next thing I know I finished a marathon because why not...
A simple couple wires that work without pairing, without drivers, without 3 separate volume controls, and worked on the terribly complicated premise of inserting a plug into a hole. Next thing they'll try and say speakers need a dozen micro wires on a special propriety cable to do what they do better.
Was more an observation where I figure it came from, but it seems the LW auto bots take quite the exception to links and suddenly banned me from a dozen or so boards. 🤨
Is there a list of bad domains that it gets fussy over?
I would generally agree, the one extra factor though is that Trump will never admit he was wrong for selecting him to begin with, so there would have to be some kind of betrayal that he cuts him off for. Last I heard he was still saying Pete is a great guy and top choice, so it'll be interesting to see what he spins to blame it on someone other than himself.
What's with the wave of new accounts spamming articles about this in the last few days? They're slightly modified modern wolves, not recreations of extinct species, and largely discarded as hype by the scientific community. You're not going to AstroTurf support here...
My guess would be an online connectivity check. Most systems try and reach some domain to say if they have network or not. Would be a logical place for them to try.
Let's tack Donnie into that call for losing their job for not doing a damn thing to prevent this after the first time around. Incompetent management, why do we not have a no-confidence vote mechanism?
There where a couple women in charge of military divisions, head of the coast guard was one I think. I'm sure there have been plenty that he sees as DEI that got tossed without a lot of reporting.
TOR is just slightly harder to keep up on as far as being listed on the same tables as commercial VPN hosts because it's so dynamic. Anyone can spin up a node and be a relay or, for the brave/foolish, an exit node in a few minutes.
Privacy largely comes from a plausible deniability in that the person asking for a site could be the originator or they could just be relaying a request for the originator. Freenet, or now called hypha net is similar that way.
My perspective on internet privacy has long been that while I don't expect to be a ghost, I can make the picture as muddy as I can to make whatever profile they gather be as useless as possible.
From the infosec practitioner perspective the number of bad actors coming from public VPN pops is exceptionally high compared to any other random IP, so they get put on a naughty list. We often cut out entire countries just because they have such a high ratio of bad 2 good traffic, particularly if it's a country that we have no real expectation of user traffic originating from.
It's not so much a VPN bad, but just that you're hanging out with others that act bad. Kind of the Nazi bar thing but for hackers. If you set up a private VPN somehow on a random cloud host you likely wouldn't see the same issues, how to keep the ownership anonymous though is another problem.
