Sex work has nothing to do with children. At all. Birth control, IUDs, condoms, and abortions are all used to prevent births. Now, if you're talking about paid surrogacy, that's a whole different area, and a whole different set of

How is prostitution any different than selling our bodies to work in a factory, or construction, or retail, or .... Our bodies wear down and tire doing non-sexual labor. What makes sexual labor so horrid? As long as we do safe procedures (c

Indeed. I have my IoT system across multiple networks, some of which I do not control the router. One possible solution was to have my VPS machine provide tunnels in a star topology. It's pretty sucky for the star center, because they

As an example where CloudFlare could be very useful is the following: (since I couldn't edit my parent comment) I have a site. Because the site is... disparaging to political figures, I want to run behind Tor as a hidden service. Now,

Yeah, I was making some big changes on my blog, and things kind of exploded in my face. My fault, it wasn't terribly critical so I nuked and reinstalled. Just install Tor as you normally would, and turn on Hidden Services from port 22

The older I get, and the more software work I do, the more I come in parity to FSF's platform as a whole. IoT is a mess right now, purely because of rent-seeking anti-standards, treacherous computing. Do you own your devices? Hardly! P

Precisely. Because of CloudFlare's position regarding Tor users, along with the erroneous idea that an identity is an IP address, these changes do nothing for the Tor user and developer community at large. Tor is used for more than jus

I've heard teachers say "Well I suffered through it, so you can too." I'd like to see empirical studies to see if it actually makes for better performance as students, or if it's useless. I'm guessing the demag

I look at it a bit differently. 1. Do I have the right to run, inspect, modify, or do whatever to a binary running on my machine? Absolutely. Running Linux, I can inspect down to the kernel, if I so choose. But I can hook onto any program I

Not really. I'm a pirate. I have little compunctions about downloading whatever-have-you. Part is convenience, part is I've been burned before, part is I want to spend money on tangibles, part is literally just 'fuck you drm&

So are seeds and carrots. In reality, all root vegetables store a great deal of carbohydrates that us diabetics must watch out for. I've been 'gotten' by carrots in a crock-pot beef. I miscounted and got waylaid by them.

I'm not sure what IPFS you're reading about.... redundancy - Any node in the IPFS network can provide the requested data. That's because the identity of the data is with the name, and not the server you got the data from. fau

"ipfs mount" is certainly a command, and it mounts the ipfs filesystem over /ipfs and /ipns . And I've already used those in conjunction with programs. The ipfs mount directive has been there since 0.3.1 I don'

I'm not sure how to take this. On the simple review, this seems like garbageware and a nice exploit. But the name PUP gives it away; potentially unwanted programs. We can't say for sure that the user didn't want them. Now, if

Absolutely true. MQTT exists, as does CoAP and AMQP. There's also simple JSON blobs that can be emitted under an API. None of these things are hard... ... But they do free you from the company. And these days, ball-and-chaining you to

Oh, so researching an interesting phenomenon, that is already cited in journals is somehow "not science"? I'd be careful about letting your own biases affect you negatively. Simply put, there may or may be nothing there.

Yes. Look into IPFS, interplanetary file system. You still need machines to serve files. However, the system has some definite advantages: 1. A file/directory is referred to its immutable hash. 2. A request for a specific has
