Is it really that much of a problem to chose a tracking device you can turn off? We've established in this thread that it was a known thing re: the devices forever. The only difference now is that our institutions are failing us. And t

So take the battery out. And before you say, I can't, well, you've made a bad choice for the world we currently live in.

Not sure if you're disregarding the call to action to turn off your cell phone when not using it or if my prior point is literally playing out as we speak ("You know the problem but it's too useful to acknowledge."). I m

If you carry a radio based tracker on your person you will be tracked. This information will eventually be abused. It's not a hard conclusion to come to, and one supported by too many repetitions of abuse in both sensible and not sensi

Self signed certs are the standard for mailservers and work just fine as they have for the last 25 years. Just like self-signed certs worked for 20 years until the megacorps decided to break people's browsers because only their for-p

This is nice, it's okay, but things like this have really decreased in quality and utility since Flash went away and the partial replacement of javascript took over. The old online-go "Learn Go" implemented in flash much, muc

Which also means it's impossible to host a visitable webserver for random people on HTTP/3 without the continued permission of a third party corporation. Do it "right" means "Do it for the corps' use cases only

So does this mean that you can't self sign anything and have to involve corporate CAs for your ssh now? Because QUIC cannot do anything without CA TLS approval being involved.

Wow! Does this mean that Firefox can re-enable self-signed certs for it's HTTP/3 stack since it's using a custom implementation and not someone elses big QUIC lib and default build flags anymore? That'd be a huge win for

The old web never went away, it never died. It was you who left. You who runs a corporate browser that can't even load HTTP pages anymore. You who only post on massive corporate run social media (like I am with HN). You who host your w

No doubt cloudflare will refuse to receive emails from any mailservers except those that run special cloudflare extensions or whatever. It'll be a whitelist that's mostly corps only. For "security" of course. And eventua

There have been plenty of free distributed hosting services for the web that worked perfectly (popcorn time, etc, etc). It's just that every time they become popular they are attacked legally and shut down. The problem is not technical

Nope. It's because the cloudflare captchas require a bleeding edge browser. If one uses a modern commercial browser it works and you've never even presented with a captcha. But in both cases I am tunneling to a VPS to avoid Comcas

Cloudflare is running the largest and longest denial of service attacks in the history of the internet by acting as arbitrary gatekeeper to important government sites like congress.gov. I haven't been able to load it in years.

Exactly. Github is the Facebook of code hosting. It's the place where you can make money and that's why people use it: some form of eventual profit motive. Weather actual money or just as a resume.

I understand now that I was talking about how youtube currently works and you two were talking about how youtube could be contrived to work. Yes, it could. It'd only just waste more bandwidth having to redownload and cause more pauses.

You could. But youtube's website itself would fail this "only 10% at once" test.

Youtube is a youtube downloader. Everything is a downloader. It's literally impossible to interact with a thing without downloading it and having the data. The difference is that the data is usually deleted later (a silly practice done

Stable? Huh. Never thought of Java that way. Dead, yes, but it was never stable. In my experience I have to set up a custom JVM version for every java application I've come across. Is your experience different?
