- Comment on UK/EU homelabbers: would you host a hardened Pi so I can watch baseball I already pay for? 5 days ago:
“MLB only checks your location at the moment a stream starts.”
This is/was what Pandora.com did, and the solution was to run a small proxy that directed the exact login url through Tor with a Merican endpoint while stream was normal, but you can just select an EU/UK endpoint instead.
I used a Tor proxy - privoxy, I think - from the openwrt package repo, but others exist, and for other platforms…

‘$1 HTML’
Why tf do US/western kids always think its okay to monetise everything they touch !? Just make something that are free because it doesn’t cost you anything, because it was fun, or because you want to share with others, ffs ! This is the same annoying ideological mindset as new game-programming kids that have setup ad-servings in their games before they have a gameplay, assets or any other working code.
You managed to enshittify your entire ‘fun’ project before it was even released. I think that is a horrible, childish, capitalist mindset/project, and I don’t think sharing/open-source people would want to support your selfish for-profit kid-project - ‘fun’ or not…

…hm, knee jerked a little, but you are right, it is a slow and difficult route. Perhaps sometimes also the most thorough, surprising, or rewarding way ? not sure tbh…
- Comment on just realized whoogle is dead now 1 month ago:
You should look into why so many people isn’t angry at Russia and are now blaming US. Your anger is exactly how US manufactures consent for all their wars, and it keeps you from discovering why people doesn’t hate Russia and even blame US/the west for starting it. They simply create a lynchmob - an echo-chamber - where people won’t listen to counter points bco anger. It works.
ALL US moral attacks on their ‘enemies’ (Ussr/Russia, N.Korea, China, Iran and oc ALL nations that wont be dictated how to live by the US elite) are such manufactured BS, and it all runs on the anger they create in people, and from there, they can do what they want in the name of ‘war against evil’. It will continue as long as people keep believing US and their controlled information bubble.
Give it a try, just read all the headlines in this list: What really happened in Ukraine?
If you couldn’t, or you still refuse the idea of foul play after reading - they got to you…
