1·3 months agoThe biggest hastle was that any persistent tunnel I would make over any protocol (I tried OpenVPN, WireGuard, SSH, Shadowsocks, etc) to any IP address would be blocked after (I think) 3 hours. This let them basically block any VPN that wasn’t already explicitly blacklisted outright.
My solution was to make a simple API on the server that got a new IPv6 address for the server and returned it.
There was a WireGuard server running on port 53 and listening from any incoming IP. On my devices I would call the API every hour when idle and change the IP in the WireGuard config. On Android I had a Tasker automation to do this and on my laptop a shell script on a cronjob.

Lmao part of the reason I went so deep into the Linux world was because my school board had super advanced network policies that were able to effectively block specific traffic and pretty much any commercial VPN. I had to build my own server at home to connect to from school using a bunch of traffic cloaking techniques to get unobstructed internet access.
I didn’t really use any sites that were blocked anyway, but it made me go “watch me bitch” to whoever was overengineering the censorship system in our school board’s IT.
It depends on what you do with it.
A special kind of chuckle.

2·4 months agoI agree, she’s not the candidate I’d want leading the dems—far from it. But people are used to voting between a Giant Douche and a Turd Sandwich as their president. Biden is something different, more agreeable than some other candidates the Dems have run. But people are seriously concerned about voting for a man who’s mental acuity is declining rapidly towards senility and very possibly will not live through 2028.
Plus, I haven’t read too far into it but I’ve heard that only Kamala would be able to use the Biden/Harris campaign war-chest. It’s sad as hell that that is so important, but it is nonetheless.
12·4 months agoThat’s no attempt, that’s instant death.
True, I’m just saying that if someone wants to assassinate a current or former American President, that would be a massively more difficult hit.
The Abe killer was unscreened (like everyone else in attendance), and managed to walk directly up to Abe from behind and fire shots from 7, then only 5 metres away.
Regardless, meme funny.
It’s not like the Japanese Prime Minister (and former Prime Ministers) don’t have security, but the disparity of security compared to US Secret Service protected individuals is huge.
The fact that the killer managed to get so close to Abe without being screened is indicative of the fact that such an attack was so unexpected in Japan.
I’m hearing reporting that there is at least 1 attendee seriously injured or killed. This is still very recent, we don’t have details yet.
1·4 months agoIf the goal is to do away with tipping, I don’t know of another way besides banning it that will be effective.
The provinces of Ontario, Alberta and British Columbia all did away with the seperate (lesser) server wage so that all employees go by a universal minimum wage. I don’t think that changed patrons’ tipping habits one bit.
And servers are still reliant on the good will of people. Ain’t nobody with real expenses getting by with some of these minimum wages. Not with the current cost-of-living.
Sure! All you need is a small loan of a million dollars.
I mean, this isn’t an awful idea…
The real world logistics probably make this more complicated than implied, but I don’t mind the intent.

That’s a very simple view. Most of western Europe and Asia have higher fire safety than Canada and have plenty of single-staircase buildings. These kinds of decisions are not made based off a single YouTube video. It may be a source of public awareness about other approaches, but that’s only the springboard to get feasibilty studies and expert consultations underway. There are external fire escapes, mandated sprinkler systems and other ways to improve fire safety which alone will likely prove far more effective than double staircases.
There are many valid downsides to our outdated fire standards in Canada—many that introduce their own health impacts in other ways. And I wouldn’t quite consider a fire chief to be the ultimate expert here. Sure their input is important to have, but I also want to hear from architects, standards bodies and academics that study building design and safety.
