The middle-man provides plausible deniability in this case. PornHub can genuinely say they don’t see connections from age-verification states atm. That stops being true if they host the VPN, making them aware of actual client locations.

Huh, usually they ask ‘jump where?’

I’d just like to clarify: the new machines aren’t MRI (the magnets in those would prohibit all metal objects being within 100ft).

The new machines are also xray; but the xray emiters and detector are now on a spinning carriage similar to an MRI. This allows you to build a 3d model of the object and calculate it’s volume, which when combined with the density measurements gives much more reliable material detection.

This also means your stuff doesn’t have to be removed from bags to ensure items aren’t blocking each other from the scanner.

Fun fact: until recently, most airport scanners literally couldn’t differentiate between water and many common explosives. Hence the scrutiny of water based products/possessions.

I have one more thought for you:

If downtime is your concern, you could always use a mixed approach. Run a daily backup system like I described, somewhat haphazard with everything still running. Then once a month at 4am or whatever, perform a more comprehensive backup, looping through each docker project and shutting them down before running the backup and bringing it all online again.

I setup borg around 4 months ago using option 1. I’ve messed around with it a bit, restoring a few backups, and haven’t run into any issues with corrupt/broken databases.

I just used the example script provided by borg, but modified it to include my docker data, and write info to a log file instead of the console.

Daily at midnight, a new backup of around 427gb of data is taken. At the moment that takes 2-15min to complete, depending on how much data has changed since yesterday; though the initial backup was closer to 45min. Then old backups are trimmed; Backups <24hr old are kept, along with 7 dailys, 3 weeklys, and 6 monthlys. Anything outside that scope gets deleted.

With the compression and de-duplication process borg does; the 15 backups I have so far (5.75tb of data) currently take up 255.74gb of space. 10/10 would recommend on that aspect alone.

/edit, one note: I’m not backing up Docker volumes directly, though you could just fine. Anything I want backed up lives in a regular folder that’s then bind mounted to a docker container. (including things like paperless-ngxs databases)

The bridge was closer, costs $0 (as long as you’re not caught by law enforcement), and it’s difficult to enforce no-dumping laws as garbage doesn’t ID it’s owner most of the time and you just can’t watch every dumping spot 24/7.

The people that do this are also not particularly wealthy. It’s hard to justify the cost of transport and disposal fees when you struggle to feed and house yourself.

Sure, there are definitely some assholes out there; but all we’ve got here is this picture.

This does not show him being an asshole in anyway; dudes just existing alongside his toy. What’s wrong with that?

A sensible person wouldn’t judge a stranger based on the actions of others.

Something tells me it’s not a daily driver…

People are allowed to have toys.

Github isn’t taking Nintendo to court over one of their users projects. They just comply with the takedown request and remove it. The user/dev isn’t going to fight Nintendo to bring it back either.

Yo OP, your link is broken…

I’d always heard the sentence ‘hung by the neck until dead’ was taken literally: If you survived the drop, you’re just gonna be hanging there longer. The result is the same.

In much of North America not only are the taxes added after; they usually don’t count towards discount values.

$39.99 + tax is still considered below that $40 bar.

No shit, the US has been dumping arms into Israel as fast as they can…

Almost 200 pretty much exclusively from lemmynsfw before you could block a whole instance.

Once they added that, I’ve blocked very very few communities.

True; but it’s made much easier when you’ve destroyed all the infrastructure that keeps those phones/cameras charged and transmits the photos and video.

Batteries only last so long, and you’ve still gotta be able to send the data somehow.

Right now Meta has the best VR / AR that is easily accessible.

Too bad the company is absolute garbage. I’m not even willing to look at their ‘products’ anymore.

Particularly with articles like this around:

True. Known as Encrypted Client Hello now, as part of TLS1.3.

It seems many more browsers support it than last I’d looked. I’m curious to see how much of the general web has adopted support for it onnthe server side. I’ll have to look into that more, and see what it’ll take to setup for self-hosting.

But what’s not encrypted by either is the Server Name Indicator or SNI, ie: the initial request to a webserver stating which host you’re trying to reach at that IP, before establishing the TLS connection, contains the domain you’d requested via DoH/DoT, in plaintext.
