Seriously, I have been medicated for a few years now and been working hard to get diet and exercise right.

It’s such a big deal and absolutely can and will kill you. He was only a year older than me!

His voice will be dearly missed! He truly was one of the modern voice acting greats, a massive loss to the voice acting industry.

I hate what the hacker ethos of “routing around bad legislation” has become “routing around all legislation.”

Hastings also was asked about Netflix’s decision to remove an episode of “Patriot Act With Hasan Minhaj” in Saudi Arabia after the government threatened the company over a segment in which the comedian criticized Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (aka MBS) and the regime’s role in the murder of dissident journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

“We’re not in the news business,” Hastings said. “We’re not trying to do ‘truth to power.’ We’re trying to entertain… We don’t feel bad about [pulling the ‘Patriot Act’ episode in Saudi Arabia] at all.”

first time in my life I was relieved to see a site down for maintenance

I wouldn’t buy that for a dollar!

Yep, my Firefox mobile hasn’t updated yet either, gonna see if there’s an update I can grab.

Even though DHS was created for horseshit reasons and was immediately used for racist purposes post-9/11 no one ever questions it. I mean the name said everything, and people like me said so at the time that “Department of Homeland Security” sounded deeply fascistic and dystopian on it’s face. The TSA? Created as a stealth jobs program for Bush’s failing economy, basically says “lol fuck the 4th amendment,” is nothing but security theater and they do more stealing people’s shit than they do stopping terrorism… but no one ever questions why it’s still around. The thread of 9/11 is long past, but they won’t let go of these levers of control, neither political party will, because it makes domination and control all too easy.

I think the point other people are making is that this can set precedent in German law and allow other people with similar issues to bring suit and win on merit and not have to fight as hard for their case to be considered. It could also end up inspiring similar cases in other countries using similar frameworks, adapted for local laws.

If suddenly Alphabet has thousands people taking to them to court in jurisdictions all over the world, that can indeed hurt them, although it will take longer than injunctions on Google now, I fully agree.

Here in Washington state, “Independent” has always been code for “Republican but that’s not as popular in this state so covering it with Independent”

Their policies are somehow almost always lockstep with the Republican party.

This kicks ass. I hate that my country is ruining itself and parts of the world with pointless weapons and war… but I am glad that the United States’ self-defeating idiocy has the whole world turning away from oil.

I already block an absolute fuck-ton stuff with Pi-hole, so I made a Wireguard VPN that pipes my phone through my local network. It’s been very effective at killing mobile app ads.

It’s one of the features I love about Njalla for domains the most.

You don’t even need a ddns service because they support updating through simple https calls.

So I have a super tiny script that basically checks the WAN IP through ipify, then checks that against the routers current WAN IP, and if they match it does nothing and ends, but if its different, it sends out a curl with the new IP. I have it running every few minutes in a cronjob. It’s actually technically my service with the most uptime according to healthchecks.io.
