- Comment on German teens traveling to US jailed and deported after loosely planned vacation deemed ‘suspicious’ 2 weeks ago:
I’ve traveled a lot, and it’s pretty common to have to specify your place of residence on your entry card. i remember my guide book telling me to just pick some place you intend to stay from their accommodations section.
but I have never been asked to document my full stay as long as you can show an exit ticket within the allowed time frame.
once I went to Thailand, planned on traveling there and down to Singapore later - as the flight back from Singapore was later than my allowed time in Thailand I was forced to buy an early enough flight to Singapore on site. so yes, there are all kind of requirements in all kind of places - but they can be handled in much better ways than what this article is describing.

“WHO SHOULD APPLY? Your travel is for 90 days or less”
I’d say 5 weeks is well within the scope of esta.

I’m disappointed. I thought you figured out how to have a decentralized scoring system 😃
- Comment on Incremental backups to optical media: tar, dar, or something else? 2 weeks ago:
never heard of nushell, but sounds interesting… but it’s not default anyhwhere yet. I’d go for bash, perl or maybe python? your comments on zfs make a lot of sense, and invalidate my respective thoughts :D
- Comment on Incremental backups to optical media: tar, dar, or something else? 3 weeks ago:
your first two points can be mitigated by using checksums. trivial to name the file after it’s checksum, but ugly. save checksums separately? safe checksums in file metadata (exit)? this can be a bit tricky 🤣 I believe zfs already has the checksum, so the job would be to just compare lists.
restoring is as easy, creation gets more complicated and thus prone to errors

just did the very same, inspired by your post. the image does not load but it looks better…

I considered claiming this point, but I used traveler cheques once, so um not sure
- Comment on Trouble keeping a top-heavy TPE part on the bed 5 weeks ago:
ah thanks for the insight. somehow I assumed you measure the filament directly, but what you describe sounds good enough. I’ll replicate that in my workshop :)

how do you measure the percentage of moisture?

I mean… like everything this comes in many levels… go on the main road with your car, cameras will catch you. sign in with your public transport card when boarding the bus… these are obvious. use a cab, pay cash. ride a bike, change cities, change states, change countreis… depends on your threat model I guess :D

if your travel with burner and normal phone for one hour, both switched on, cell tower registrations are in sync and both are easily linked. if your switch on your burner only occasionally at random locations, but cut real phone is/was there at the same time they are linkable.
to use a burner:
- never switch on at home
- leave main phone at home
- travel a reasonable distance before switching the burner on
- don’t travel with people who know you and who carry a phone
- sim & phone mustn’t be bought/topped-up in a traceable way
- cover cameras at all times (there are 0click exploits available to three letter agencies)
it’s possible, but certainly not trivial.
also: depends on the power of your adversary, as always the personal threat model is relevant. using a burner to cheat on your spouse is not the same as using one when plotting to the nuclear codes.

it’s rather easy to link a burner phone to you if you don’t know exactly what you are doing. no need for a phone, don’t take any risk.
- Comment on Amazon Boycot March 7-14th | No Purchases. Its time to disrupt the system. 1 month ago:
I completely ditched amazon - private and for my company. there are so many other options, slightly less convenient admittedly, but also slightly cheaper. works for me!
