Potato, potato…

Whether we call them ‘undocumented commands’ or a ‘backdoor’, the affect is more or less the same; a series of high-level commands not listed within the specs, preventing systems engineers/designers from planning around vulnerabilities and their potential for malicious use.

Flooded farmland, provided 0 help to the wildfires, and now there’s less water reserve for the actual agricultural season…

Genius.

Just knowing who those two people are requires education and we can’t have that.

Plus the sexual references? Double whammy; Ban approved.

Integer overflow; suddenly everything’s free.

It’s even worse: They weren’t gifts to Ukrainian mothers, Russia gave them to their own.

That’s far more fucked than a troll gift to ‘the enemy’.

Took their sons, forced them into a figurative meat grinder for a needless war, then gave them literal meat grinders as souvenirs…

That’s so fucked…

“Thanks for sending your son to the meat grinder; we got you a souvenir!”

tariffs hurt the populace of the country imposing them more than anyone else.

Tariffs always hurt the customer, especially when it comes to raw resources; but can have the potential to hurt the seller as well (in the form of lost business).

With import tariffs the recipient pays to import an item, directly costing them more. With an export tariff, the shipper pays extra, so they raise their prices to compensate, also costing the customer more.

Now with manufactured products, the customer may have local options that are now cheaper than an import+tariffs (but still more expensive than they were paying previously), which means the foreign manufacturer has to invest in a local facility or loose customers. The customer may just be stuck with it though.

With raw resources however, it’s much less likely the customer can purchase cheaper elsewhere so they will likely just be stuck with the higher cost.

Potash for example, the US heavily imports from Canada for use in fertilizer and just doesn’t produce in sufficient quantities for it’s farmers (>90% is imported). If Trump follows through and imposes his tariff on that (I think that one was 10%), farmers will have no options but to buy less or spend more. It does nothing but harm the US.

Likewise with Canada imposing a tariff on electricity; our energy companies are going to charge more per kwh to compensate for the extra costs, and the affected states will have no choice but to pay more. Again harming the US as a result of Trumps decisions.

Seems we’re going to impose 25% export tariffs on power anyway, because just delaying a month isn’t good enough.

While we’re at it, we might just get a chance to literally punch Trump (jr) right in the fucking mouth.

I’m also pretty sure the Starlink contract is still being cancelled, and there’s a ban on future US contracts atm. Liquor stores have greatly reduced American inventory and encourage local products, travel to the US has dropped dramatically; and overall there’s a general ‘fuck America’ attitude in the air. It’s kind of refreshing.

Maybe they weren’t permitted/encouraged, and eventually got removed, but you could definitely find them there. I wish I’d saved images; but this was 15years ago.

I wish I’d have saved some of those images; I can assure you they did exist. I don’t think it was a prominent part of the site, with their main focus on illegal substances/goods, but it was definitely there.

Worse; you could buy people from the silk road. Wives, children, nanny’s slaves… Along with military equipment, drugs ofc, stolen goods, and pretty much anything illegal that has a buyer.

Had a friend that liked buying drugs there, and would send me screenshots of some of the insane ads he found. He was pissed when it got shut down, and moved to a market called ‘Agora’.

Broke off that friendship quite a while ago and haven’t heard about it since. Not really my scene…

From the linked article:

The Take It Down Act is an overbroad, poorly drafted bill that would create a powerful system to pressure removal of internet posts, with essentially no safeguards. While the bill is meant to address a serious problem—the distribution of non-consensual intimate imagery (NCII)—the notice-and-takedown system it creates is an open invitation for powerful people to pressure websites into removing content they dislike. There are no penalties for applying very broad, or even farcical definitions of what constitutes NCII, and then demanding that it be removed.

It would mean Trump and anyone else could demand the removal of pretty much any image that features them; with legal penalties for not immediately complying.

Think DMCA takedowns for youtube videos, but against every image on every platform available in the US. The platform has to comply, remove the flagged content, and let the courts sort out whether it should go back up.

‘I drew a mortally wounded vial organ for you, enjoy’

‘I also cut off this plants genitalia, hope you like them’

Tobacco is a hardier plant that can be grown in more places than coca AFAIK.

Now you can support your community with locally grown and cultivated cocaine, instead of relying on imports. Lmao

Honestly; I’m impressed they both messaged you and gave you options.

Usually you wouldn’t find out until the mailman is demanding payment for the package he’s holding hostage in front of you.

I’m not convinced there will be an election in 2028…

Looking at openspeedtests github page, this immediately sticks out to me:

Warning! If you run it behind a Reverse Proxy, you should increase the post-body content length to 35 megabytes.

Follow our NGINX config

/edit;

Decided to spin up this container and play with it a bit myself.

I just used my standard nginx proxy config which enables websockets and https, but I didn’t explicitly set the max_body_size like their example does. I don’t really notice a difference in speed, switching between the proxy and a direct connection.

So, That may be a bit of a red herring.

On your update:

Ah, Linux. Forgot about that variable. Interesting to see you didn’t have to mess with it much, that used to be a hassle though doable.

Linux gives you a bit more freedom to get around these blocks; so to counter this Netflix and many other streaming providers limit the resolution and bitrate available to Linux clients. Often they won’t serve better than 720p to any linix client if I remember right, even with you paying the premium for 4k content.

Some people may be fine with that, others not so much. Louis Rossman made quite a fuss about that a while back.

You might have more luck with an AMD card, but Nvidia works closely with these DRM companies. It’s baked into the graphics drivers that you can only get from Nvidia. Doesn’t matter what recording software you use, they ALL have to go through the graphics drivers which will not release the video stream to them.

Without cracked drivers; you’re SOL going down that route.

DRM prevents that. Your graphics drivers will refuse to release the video info to the screen capture software leaving you with an empty black rectangle in the video. Otherwise a lot more people would do this.

You might be able to use either a capture card to grab the actual video signal being output by the machine; or a VM with the capture software running outside it on the host. I’ve never tried the latter, but I’m told it works.
