Ha! You got me there. I was just about to complain that none mentioned slaves, then saw the comment that did mention them (together with aliens) which is (imho) even worst than ignoring their suffering... but here you are, making my day by reminding me that those slaves had a "fair" (/s) pay for their suffering-work :P

Is that a dragon larvae? Do you know how long does it take to fully metamorphosize into actual movie-like fancy dragons?

Arriving to Galapagos islands, in just 2-3 blocks that we walked we got to see so much life! Not the giant tortoises though. But lizards, birds, and even some underwater sea life. A local fishermen was emptying his net, taking out some giant lobsters. It was the first time I saw these animals, apparently the usual are rather small in comparison and taste better, but in the ocean they can grow A LOT. These were easily the size of a shepherd's dog..

PS. Same trip, another experience(s) were snorkeling or diving :) if you love nature, I recommend going there..

OP: if you manage to get the will to do this, please come back and tell us how it went! I am sure as hell we all want to hear the story however how trivial it may be.

The Russians have once again used ballistic missiles from North Korea. We are also tracking evidence that Russian-Iranian drone technologies have spread to North Korea. This is extremely dangerous both for Europe and for East and Southeast Asia. The longer this war continues on our territory, the more warfare technologies evolve, and the greater the threat will be to everyone. This must be addressed now – not when thousands of upgraded “Shahed” drones and ballistic missiles begin to threaten Seoul and Tokyo.

Mind at least providing a link for your pretty strong claim about Tor?

I don't have one. Thanks for asking, you made me actually reconsider the truthfulness of my own statement... I was just parroting back what I heard many times, years ago, among the people that attended a hacklab from the city I was living in back then.

Same goes with the 'tip' that said that Tor was initially funded by the US Military (which apparently is true, but then the project turn out to be independent.) These two "facts" were presented, and parroted back and forth in that space a lot.

It would be great to have real analysis knowing which data centers or actors have the biggest control of exit nodes. If there's really a way to de-anonimyze any traffic from there.

PS. Since we are on the topic, another concern regarding Tor network is the possibility of correlation attacks. It always strikes me how ISP stops providing connection at 'random' if you were a frequent user. Pretty sure there's legal forces behind it... but that's my paranoia. Now those minutes or hours offline sprinkled here and there to my router were a fact. Anyway, the dark web is really full of a lot sick places. I'd rather just stay away from it entirely and use a VPN for my privacy when searching media and stuff. That's a lesson I learned.

I hate it when I don't know an acronym, but this one is particularly hurtful to my brain since everyone is saying "yeah, that link to the FSB was obvious glad someone demonstrated it." So... I will just assume FSB=KGB and be done.

Anyway, most of our privacy "war fronts" are honeypots in one way or another. Take for example Tor network (high number of exit nodes are controlled). Except those apps or protocols that are truly decentralized (e.g. OMEMO in XMPP), these are good. But then again, they lag behind to our standards of "normal" Internet that connects us to the world, outside of our tiny circles of nerds.

Now, the thing with honeypots, is that they are there to catch some specific type of fly. If you were to use their network to take advantage of the features for anything that the "predator" behind doesn't care, you're fine. So, I will keep using Telegram for the memes and piracy channels...

From an OPSec perspective this is important news nonetheless and I will keep it in mind.

Yes, I think the problem description fits for moving from static website to having a database and a web service ( with or without javascript, could be just forms, check htmx.org ). For example, if you know Python you could go and check Django. But there are many other ORMs, all aiming to make working with databases easier. Btw, I am not expanding the ORM acronym because it would only add noise. OP should look into that, and understand why these 'frameworks' are called like that... Good luck!

I wonder which one is that group of Zionist users, will have to follow the link to the community you mentioned.

Btw, the small community that defederated feddit.org on this matter is listed in the announcement: https://feddit.org/post/12529640

I am not disingenuous toward the issue, but I might be biased since it's my understanding that Internet always has too many warriors-from-the-sofa. The real issue is with the german law, which might be too restrictive, and that's why I believe your initiative here is welcome.

For the record, I live in Germany, attended demostrations or universities camps in support of Palestine and even there, organizers ask you not to use the phrase "from the river..". That's how f**-up it is. I have seen discussions among the left, some wouldn't show any support for Palestine mostly out of fear (and, sure, ignorance, which in a way would makes you an accomplice to genocide).

+1 I use it to on all of my devices for sharing 1 folder, just set one as introducer, and keep adding nodes (e.g. phone, Work mini, laptops, PC, ...) Once you have that set, start adding folders as needed for specific cases (e.g. a folder shared among all mentioned except for Work mini.)
