Guess the issue is that us big bads are blocked in china. So while ccp can leverage social media to monitor western countries. Western goverments can not leverage western social media to do the same in china.

Other xmpp servers that want to yes. But i have nobody that uses xmpp again.

Hosted my own xmpp server back when you could talk to facebook messenger and google chat users via federation. But when they closed their walled garden there were nobody to talk to so i stopped it.

Now with matrix i have again a homeserver. Bridged to messenger, google what the new thing is called, slack, and a few others.

old post, but I so wonder why you got downwoted for saying it like it is. a good isp will give you a /56, the minimum best practice. a great isp will give you a /48 you’r router will also participate in the wan /64, but that is just the uplink, and not something that will be used on the lan. https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-690/#4--size-of-end-user-prefix-assignment---48---56-or-something-else-

What the social media algorithms did to teenagers are for sure a catastrophe involving blood. Suicide went up 48%. 131% for girls.

Adding before:2023 to the query helps on older stuff. For new stuff i have no idea, all i get is a torrent of SEO AI worthless junk.

There also needs to be an obstacle in the way for the radar to detect. The low railroad track is probably not enough.

How often depends on how much work it is to recreate, or the consequences of loosing data.

Some systems do not have real data locally, get a backup every week. Most get a nightly backup. Some with a high rate of change , get a lunch/middle of the workday run.
Some have hourly backups/snapshots, where recreating data is impossible. CriticL databases have hourly + transaction log streaming offsite.

How long to keep a history depends on how likely an error can go unnoticed but minimum 14 days. Most have 10 dailes + 5 weeky + 6 monthly + 1 yearly.

If you have paper recipes and can recreate data lost easily. Daily seems fine.

Talk about trumatic memory. The amount of family and friend gatherings i spent cleaning malware of a old beige windows machine is horrifying. Opened internet explorer, and it was more toolbars then webpage area. No wonder i run 100% linux nowadays.

I do not think that ever worked.

Compared to some old group b videos. This looks very safe. They are even outside of the road.

Used to do that for decades. Nowadays with steam i just return the game.

Never canceling that. I’d rather rewatch anything d20 over anything on netflix.

I post about 1/20th of the replies i write.

Not very much interesting rf you can pick up passivly anymore. Getting access to encrypted wifi, or running a fake cellular base station do require transmitting.

So facinating, even gravity is affected by those 8 minutes. Iow we would rotate around a missing sun, for 8 minutes, same as with light.
This is all also related to relativity, that someone else wanted to talk about in this post, i am just saying ;)

This is so true, and while i have never discussed the concept. I definitly adjust my answer based on the recipient.
From the name of the hill my house is on, for locals. Via hamlet,muncipiality, county,region. Up to : “the western part of norway, with the fjords and glaciers”, to forigners. I have never had to go for northern europe, or northern hemisphere. I am looking forward to the day i need “the third planet of the sol system”, that will be an interesting day.

Probably more that the long term use of coffee is very well understood and researched. And while excessive use of anything is bad, coffee have not displayed issues bad enouhf that it needed regulation.

A “coffee” at starbucks, or an energy drink Have more in common with a dessert, then water filtered thru ground up beans.
And 3 desserts a day have quickly shown health issues.
