The entire point of a web browser is to allow scum to:

• endlessly throw loginwalls and paywalls at us

• load dodgy third party sites libraries

• insisting on kyc as an act to show and display continuous acts of compliance

So not surprising the linked site has either a login or paywall.

Forcing a phone number is kyc. kyc is obnoxious.

Thx for sharing

Stract on github

Can self host

The other suggestions aren’t suggestions at all. They are obsoleted by searx.space

DDG … obsolete

startpage.com … obsolete

Browsers have default search engines. Curse everytime, DDG is accidentally queried.

DDG is a curse word!

Any centralized site, with privacy claims, is treated as lying thru their teeth. Front run future news.

SHUM

A FOSS app for digital payments, must have a company front to sign deals with country retail store chains. Although customer kyc can be avoided, the payments from the front company to retail chains would be thru a corporate structure.

… maybe convenience is the wrong path

The advantages of PoW crypto, over digital (and PoS), it’s possible to force between seller and buyer:

• communication with end-to-end encryption
• privacy oriented marketplaces

With the goal of fostering our own private communities. Over time, might spawn a sub-culture, identity, and ultimately people hood.

I hope this is sarcasm

When is collaboration irrelevant within a large organization? Your company uses Linux which is commendable.

Taking it one step further

Multiple team members being able to work on the same project at the same time

Can/do all your coworkers use git? Even the secretary and janitor?

Have never listened to a podcast

Don’t have a dog to walk and capable of remote work so not driving

Prefer coding over passive content consumption

Cue reality as R&D vs actually getting products to market are two HUGELY different things

All 99.99999% of science PR, will never be heard from again.

I live for cringe!

Dead Snow I was sad.

Dead Snow II i’m still besides myself. They hit the ball out of the genre!

But if you can’t appreciate (good) cringe then the point would be missed

pirate: My dreams concern ccy off ramps. Remote work is our future.

At all costs, never ever answer any kyc/aml questions:

• What’s your name?
• How old are you?
• What country are you from?
• Where do you live?
• Can i have your phone number?

The truth is vastly overrated concept.

openssl rand -hex 20 <-- memorize this. Adjusting integer affects output length. Try it now. Now try is 20 times in a row. This is your name and password generator. My name is a71fe7b7ec46e0ae0a191004509af262cb2bbe99

Outing your identity has HUGE financial and legal repercussions. Not outting your own identity saves on: stress, time, filling out forms, and you can keep your income and house (a motel is insurance). There will be fees to be paid to ccy off ramps, but they are nothing in comparison.

If anyone insists, insist they give you their credit card. Then keep it. This is an important life lesson. Anyone can be de-systemed. And as soon as you internalize that … the better. If you are not de-systemed, consider yourself de-systemed. Plan accordingly. I know folks who are de-systemed.

Make a telegram group for onboarding. Create invite links as needed. Then no need to exchange phone numbers. I’m ok with Russia viewing my communications. In fact, that’s hilarious. Could use e2e encryption. Boris is busy anyway.

If you talk about coding always, you’ll become immune to censorship. Normies brains cannot withstand such punishment. They’ll find someone else to censor.

HVAC: mini splits

black mold forms and causes breathing problems. Clean aircons (air conditioner) every 6 months - 1 year.

If water is dripping from the outside unit, your aircon is lacking gas. Making it into a giant fan.

A mini-split is chosen to meet the needs for one room. Some folks, and can’t be convinced otherwise, think an aircon can cover the entire universe. And to prove it, they leave all the doors open.

This is proof we live in the matrix. It’s completely unsolvable issue without self closing doors

Lets repeat this a few hundred more times. A clock and a gold fish are going to have a better trading records than you can ever hope for.

Any country the US sets up a pier near, will have no choice but to deal with the local government. In no universe, will that not be the case.

If not, that pier is Israeli territory! They can land troops there and just say, Thank you!. And there is not much the US could do.

So cooperation with Israel is key to making this precedent work. Might be quite the show watching the US try to do humble

No problem. Dump them into Libyan slave markets.

This will free up the pier for more able bodied workers, err i mean, refugees.

Think about beauty of it. The Barbary Pirates of North Africa were targeting US trade during Thomas Jefferson term in office. Forcing the formation of the US Navy.

The US can get back to being ol’ friends with them.

And come back history wise full circle

Can see the Egyptian POV.

These refugees previously were politically destabilizing Egypt from within. They don’t want a repeat of that.

The US is a 3rd party. If Israel deported them it would be a war crime. If the US accepts them onto that pier, it’s not.

Solves Egypt and Israel mutual problem.

The US could then push them into Canada. If anything bad happened there, it would be an improvement over the status quo.
