Yeah that sounds fucked up NGL. Children should not be aware of sex.
- Comment on Vaping ‘to be banned outside schools and hospitals’ in England 1 week ago:
They haven’t banned it, like most of these they are all ideas floated by our government, usually at a time of financial ruin or scandals to sway the national conversation towards manufactured outrage.
The ready meal (microwave dinner in US English) and meal deal (common UK grocery store deal on a drink, snack and sandwich aimed at picnickers and office workers out for a quick lunch) is the most recent of these: grocerygazette.co.uk/…/mps-supermarket-meal-deal/
At the same time malnutrition in children is at record highs and the average height (commonly accepted as sign of economic prosperity: see S.Korea vs N.Korea) of Britons has decreased.
In the case with caffeine, this resulted in a voluntary ban of it for under-16s by the supermarkets, which is often thought to be a law but actually isn’t.
I think it is understandable though it does make it an absolute pain to purchase energy drinks because you have to be ID’d for it, store workers often don’t understand what an energy drink is because they apparently all arrived in the country yesterday, and their home country has no concept of soft drinks, or they don’t speak English, so they’re either confused by it, or they assume it is alcohol, so do the full check, even on someone who doesn’t look a day over 50.
- Comment on Vaping ‘to be banned outside schools and hospitals’ in England 1 week ago:
Yup, all to the cheer of ignorant masses who either falsely claim vaping is more or equally harmful to smoking, fearmonger with their “think of the children” shit about unproven negative effects despite none being found still, or simply want to ban everything they don’t like - which is a sentiment especially common I’m Britain.

Are the insurrectionists and their buddies on that list too, or just the mongolian basket weaving carving gallery?

Another day in no-fun-allowed Britain
Ban vapes Ban big pints Ban sugary sweets Ban filling ready meals Ban caffeine in drinks Ban meal deals Ban having savings (raise taxes on the poor) Ban being disabled (cut their benefits) Ban the transes (ban their lifesaving care and Ban being nice to them at school) Ban toppling statues of racist cunts Ban speaking out against genocide (and fund it)
Yawn.

Lmao one reason I allows those suckers in ublock was because I realized there were less ads and less bullshit copypasted listicles or whatever, now back it goes behind that cosmetic filter
- Comment on Authentication for external sevices 1 week ago:
None. Dashy’s authentication was famously literally security theatre even with Keycloak. You could just pause the load in browser and have full access to the config. Because it let you iframe whatever you could now do so with local services to enum. Somehow Jellyfin is unbustable though. So it’s a bit of a crapshoot. Look at past vulnerabilities. Stuff like XSS unless stored you don’t need to worry about, clickjacking, tab nabbing etc. On the other hand anything that’s arbitrary file read, SQLI, RCE, LFI, RFI, SSRF etc. I would look at seriously. E.g. don’t make your 13ft public because it can be used to literally enumerate your entire private network.
- Comment on How did we move from forums to Reddit, Facebook groups, and Discord? 1 week ago:
Hard agree. I would also like to add that I think a lot of people remember forums a lot better than they were. Federation keeps admins and mods act as checks and balances on instances
*Nothing personal ofc db0 you run an awesome instance.

Do you think the genie got it from twitter war brainrot or just did too much of the sensory content back in his skibidi days?

Who even cares anymore. The sheepfolk don’t. They cheered on the death of our free and open internet. It’s everyone for themselves now.

This. Mastodon is better than twitter by the virtue of not being a neo-nazi hangout spot owned by a hack. But it’s still a twitter which was always shit celeb culture circlejerk

- Comment on Do you selfhost your own blog/website? 1 week ago:
Yes I host everything public with cloudflare tunnels. Everything more heavy is VPN with DDNS on invite basis to friends and fam. For the former it’s Hassle-free HTTPS, no reverse proxy, no firewall, no nonsense.

I don’t enjoy them, I think they’re time vampires dragging society into oblivion. I’m glad to deprive any and all content farms of income and that’s why I do it.

Great article! What a ride and a deep-dive. Thanks for falling down this rabbit hole so I don’t have to. Bit annoying with the robot text though makes using reading mode annoying.

Black Ops 2 was so good, especially with that theme by the mass effect guy and the nine inch nails guy
- Comment on I hate how anything without "world" in its name is just about the US 1 week ago:
If any instance uses anything akin to cloudflare, Google, a cloud provider or a CDN then this question makes no sense, not that it ever made any sense because why would it matter where a website is hosted if it’s equally accessible globally? It’s not like the internet is some sort of local US thing lmfao.

Why?
- Comment on Russian authorities prepare to block Discord. 1 week ago:
There is no policy that “works for everyone” when we cannot agree on the basic facts of reality. If one side says “we shouldn’t pollute the sky so much that we can never see the sun” and the other side says “there is no sky”, there is no way forward, only upwards, twirling, twirling towards freedom.

They disabled desktop registration
Huh? Worked for me.
then can randomly ban people who try to make their usage of the platform more private/anonymous…
Telegram literally only banned CSAM.
Then there is censorship, at least here. And I have heard of at least one case of cooperation with German LE, so it’s not “untouchable” for Westerners too.
Source? Because they’re pretty transparent about it and have only ever banned CSAM. If that’s what you mean by “censorship” please KYS
It was never safe with such an approach of “I can close my eyes and pretend the law doesn’t apply to me” even in the West
Except that it was, and that’s why people used it.
If it was hostile to privacy and anonymity by design
No it wasn’t? It was literally the private anonymous messenger and that’s why people used it.
it was a matter of time until it became wide open to Western LE too
No it wasn’t, or they wouldn’t have had to arrest Durov.
The sheer amount of compromate it had on users was a ticking time bomb.
Yeah, but so is every good thing.
“Highly decentralized complexity” - what does that even apply to?
The subject matter at hand - Telegram. It was legally a complex mess of shell companies in weird jurisdictions. That’s why the glowies couldn’t touch it, the level of international cooperation it would require is far beyond the realistic means of any government. This is why they had to arrest Durov and offer him life in prison or to open up, there was nothing else they could do.
That would apply to Matrix, XMPP, Simplex, especially Briar.
It would if any of these worked, or were used by anyone at all.
Even Signal can technically be selfhosted (whether it is feasible is another question)
I don’t want to self-host my criminal messenger, i live deep in five eyes shit.
in Telegram you can’t have even that because the server is closed.
I’m fine with that, as long as it’s out of the glowies hands, but fella couldn’t stay away from the hairy pits I guess
- Comment on Uniting for Internet Freedom: Tor Project & Tails Join Forces | Tor Project 2 weeks ago:
I have in my life met two people who used signal. They did it because I suggested it. They are both senior cybersec folks.
