Ha. Yes it sounds ridiculous on it’s face. But... It’s the privacy thing I’m concerned about. If google the tool was all Google is, then I’d have no problem with it. It’s the rest of Google I have an issue with. I can bang google the tool a

My thoughts exactly. I always hear these complaints but I never have an issue. If I’m going technical I’ll use the bang feature (! g) and I’m all set. I’m not going back to g gle

I disagree with a couple of things. First of all, you missed one thing that is really one of my primary concerns. I hate the idea of my ISP working with other ad surveillance companies to track and sell MY data about mine and my family’s an

Good point, thank you. Because of my use case, this isn’t an issue. But I understand we all have different models and should act accordingly.

Whether this is true or not isn’t really the point. The fact that it it’s even possible is a huge red flag for my use case / threat model. It’s relatively easy, not to mention cheap (less than $10 per month) to spin up a streisand (0)

Can I flash my own router with pcWRT or do I have to purchase one on Amazon? Is this similar to DDWRT? Or a fork of some open source project?

My wife is a Cherokee historian / genealogist, and I have always enjoyed the details of her stories. The history of the Cherokee is fascinating and full of rich history! Thank you for posting this. I sent it to her for a more intellige

Thanks for this. I still want to try, even if it does fail. Sounds like my idea of a very good time.

For the most entertaining version of the answer, watch this really cool movie (1) with math, intrigue, and daytime television all rolled into one. It’s called The Perfect Bid. (Not affiliated just a fan.) I think I watched it on Amazon or N

According to recent articles I’ve read this may not be the case. Apparently at least one organization has accused NSO of doing the unlawful accessing. Standby while I look for a source.

This is how I handle all the IoT devices in my household. It’s one of the first things I implemented after I flashed my router over to DDWRT.

So if I bought my “name.rocks” I’ll have trouble using that as an email? I was looking forward to “firstname@lastname.rocks” and I never even considered it would be a problem. I’m disappointed

Very cool. I’ll have to check this out. Do you know of any stock trading sites that have bots?

My thoughts exactly. I've been thinking about going back to a flip phone and using on of these pocket computers or a tablet for my computing. Sometimes I have my phone for the sole reason of needing to be available for family or work.

Exactly. I have written my senator and congressmen about this and similar issues, and I always get very canned answers. Something like "we need to support our military / law enforcement's ability to keep us safe" blah bl

Maybe this explains where all those lobbying $$ are going. If you can’t beat China at market manipulation, then join ‘em!

I don't see any contact information in your profile. I love this idea too, especially for the project management work lifestyle I am currently living.

Not sure why you’re getting downvoted for your explanation, but I found this comment very useful. I actually just bought an old used server to play around with something like this. I want to build a set of virtual workstations for different

Came here to post this. I’ve been using streisand for a long time with no problems. I’ve given out logins to a few trusted friends / colleagues and all have had good experiences as far as I know. Plus I really enjoyed learning about th

As my old therapist would say, “a broken mind can’t fix a broken mind.” I suffer from pretty intense social anxiety. It turns out I was comparing the way I felt to the way other people appeared, and felt like a failure for a long time. I fi

I agree that I’m unsophisticated but not that I shouldn’t be trading. Most of my investments are 401k and passive index funds. But I keep a small amount of active trading capital to learn by doing. Sometimes I win, sometimes I lose. But it’

Which is why I always use limit orders. If I pick a price I don’t really care if someone front runs it or not. I’m getting it for my target price so everyone’s happy.

Just want to clear up one thing - neither the CIA or the NSA are under DHS. Those are 3 separate agencies.

I totally agree. I think a lot of people think this way and just don’t express their opinions because they have nothing to prove. But there are also lots of selfish people that don’t and they’ll probably never get this.
