Thanks to TLS, Netflix and Fast are indistinguishable. All your ISP knows is the IP address you’re talking to. They’d only know that you visited Fast in particular if you were using your ISP’s DNS, which you shouldn’t be using anyways :)

I switched my personal website to a Raspberry Pi 4 in my basement a while ago, with cloudflare caching and roll-your-own DDNS - I’ve been pleasantly surprised by how easy the whole thing was to do (although my requirements are far from exot

That’s why you also check Fast.com - it’s on Netflix’s servers, so you can’t whitelist Fast without also whitelisting Netflix.

I can’t help but find the introductory quote a bit much, given that Parler’s moderation scheme (judgement by other Parler users) typically resulted in the removal of all opinions other than those held by the majority of Parler users. In any

Two things: I was mostly addressing the post I was replying to that claimed that nobody was opposed to direct cash payments - which I think is not true at all. Also, I’m not trying to sweep it under the rug, and I’m not saying that many hom

I'm not sure exactly what the correct set of actions for Apple is in the Pakistan case, but I don't feel these two are all that similar. In that case Apple broke no laws. The FBI very likely did not have the legal power to compel

My understanding is just because something meets the layman definition of, say, “market manipulation” doesn’t mean it meets the legal definition of that. This also applies to things like recklessness - the legal definition and the layman de

Which IMO is silly. Institutional investors hold 160% of GME’s float. For every institutional investor wanting it to tank there are others who want to see it rise. It’s not like the institutions all agree or anything - “The man” is on both

I wouldn’t give that rumour any serious thought considering there’s literally nothing backing it up and it mostly just feeds what people already want to believe. People are pointing out in the comments that some of the details don’t line up

I have a dynamic IP and I was curious about how often it changed (I wanted to host some minor stuff out of my house). So I rolled my own DDNS solution, and have it send me a text every time my IP changes. I have only seen one change in the

Oh Alpine sounds cool - I’ll have to look into that. I’ve always just kludged raspibian into running read-only, but it’s fiddly. Your solution sounds much nicer.

I have a first gen Pi running miniDLNA and an FTP server plugged into a cheap 1TB USB drive. I threw it together on a lark, but my wife gets a ton of use out of it watching content that isn’t available on Netflix.

How is what the researcher did vigilante justice? The researcher found fraud, and then reported it to the appropriate authorities who investigated further acted on it. It would be vigilantism if he had gone outside of the proper channels to

Less labour than driving to the store, finding the part, buying it, driving home, and carefully making an accurate cut with a hacksaw :)

The vote spikes are simple - early voting ballots getting reported [1]. Biden encouraged his supporters to vote early. Trump did the opposite. Accordingly, the early/absentee votes are ~90% for Biden. Due to the way they get counted th

"Can the US pay it's debt?" is the wrong question. The US can pay off any amount of debt, because their debt is measured in USD and congress can issue new USD as needed. "How does the debt actually effect the economy? (D

Wouldn’t that be impossible to do as you’d have to somehow execute every code path in the plugin? The domains don’t have to exist as strings - there are lots of ways to obfuscate network requests.

It seems a bit arrogant to claim that every one of the thousands of economists who study inflation are idiots. You can look up the methodologies used to determine the basket of goods. By non-volatile I mean that they’re aggregates over purc

Economists weren’t born yesterday. Inflation is measured in many ways, most often by looking at a basket of goods where the prices are relatively non-volatile. Using the USD/Bitcoin ratio as a yardstick for inflation seems very misguid
