Another 30+ years of “terrorists”

America claims its attacks are to stop ‘terrorists’, but it’s exactly those actions that are creating ‘terrorists’. And they’re fully justified in becoming ‘terrorists’ imo.

If I lived in Iran, I’d certainly want revenge for this.

(here I’m using the word terrorist to mean ‘enemy of America~s administration~’, as that’s what America has turned that word into)

Prior to this attack, as well as the bunker busters dropped last year: I do not believe Iran is/was creating nuclear weapons.

Since these two attacks however, I believe they’d be justified in seeking such weapons simply because America has proven over and over that no nation is safe without them.

In short; I don’t think they are/were, but I do think they should be in response. As much as I don’t like nuclear proliferation, I’m much much more against deliberately killing innocents, particularly children.

Perhaps I’d have a different opinion if America/Israel struck military targets; but they didn’t. They struck homes, schools, and other civilians.

America is truly a Terrorist State, if not just a lap dog of Israel’s genocidal regime.

You might just have to settle for a big flesh-coloured dildo and some nice photographs.

Pretty sure that’s their slogan.

“The board of peace: bored of peace”

Then go get you some dick. (or whatever’s your fancy)

You’re the one that asked for serious answers.

When you say ‘craving for a certain man’, is this still talking about cannibalism, or is this some sexual desire?

If it’s the former; you may be realizing a vegetarian diet is not for you… Go have some bacon, then see how you feel.

Anecdotal; but I spent 5ish years pirating via torrents from my home in Canada. Never once used a VPN and received an emailed copyright notice forwarded through my ISP about once every 3-5 days.

They never went further than that. The ISP isn’t permitted to give out my personal contact info short of a court order, and the copyright holder(s) can’t be bothered to pursue it further to get that info.

As long as you never reply to the notice; all they have is an IP, a time stamp, and a copy of the letter they sent to the ISP. They don’t know who I am to drag me to court; so first they’d have to sue the ISP for that info. Even then, tieing one specific individual to an entire IPs traffic is next to impossible. Was it the IPs subscriber? Another person in the household? A guest? Someone with unauthorised access? Too many variables/possibilities to prove ‘beyond reasonable doubt’ in a court of law.

Now a days however I use usenet. $12/year for an indexer, and ~$5/month for access to a usenet provider/server. Fast reliable downloads that always complete within 5min. No more waiting on slow or seedless torrents that potentially take days before giving up and trying another. This is all done though an ssl connection to a private server, so there’s nothing to snoop/get reported for.

If you have a static IP address, you can just use A records for each subdomain you want to use and not really worry about it.

If you do not have a static IP address, you may want to use one single A record, usually your base domain (example.com), then CNAME records for each of your subdomains.

A CNAME record is used to point one name at another name, in this case your base domain. This way, when your IP address changes, you only have to change the one A record and all the CNAME records will point at that new IP as well.

Example:

A example.com 1.2.3.4

CNAME sub1.example.com example.com

CNAME sub2.example.com example.com

You’d then use a tool like ACME.sh to automatically update that single A record when your IP changes.

Back in my day, (shakes cane), Teamspeak and Ventrillo were the big voice chat platforms/tools. Both have text chat and channels/rooms; but their focus is voice chat for gaming.

Stuff like this is an interesting issue;

On the one side: if Youtube is ‘defiant’, refusing to block streams the Israelis have ordered them to block; Israel will just remove/block Youtube from the country entirely, so no one has access, worsening news outreach overall.

But on the other hand: when Youtube complies like this, they’re seen as stifling free speach/news and submissive to Israel.

Neither is a good choice, but there’s no winning options here.

I don’t really see this as surprising. Drones have been used in mass coordinated swarms for things like new years light displays for years.

It was only a matter of time that gets used as a weapon system/platform.

A swarm doesn’t give you much advantage over a single drone though. There’s more targets to shoot down, so perhaps there’s a better chance of getting one through drone defenses; but they also lose the stealth factor a single drone brings… Maybe a really wide surveillance view if you combine their camera feeds?

IDK, doesn’t really seem all that beneficial.

Fuck off TACO; we’re taking our business elsewhere

The phrasing in your previous comment comes across very rude to someone that’s just trying to provide a solution for you. There’s better ways to ask for clarification.

I apologize if hostility was not your intention; but, food for thought.

Yup, and if you opened the webpage within a VM, you could easily screenshot it without the DRM blacking it out for you.

You’re in a piracy community asking for tips on pirating content. If you’re going to be an asshole when they’re given to you; you’re welcome to fuck off somewhere else.

A lot of DRMed content that prevents screen recording can be played within a VM, with the host recording the display output window.

Or so I’ve heard…

I don’t know why I avoided this for so long and stuck to whatever the first search result for ‘online youtube downloader’ was; but it’s been much nicer having a consistent and versatile tool at the ready.

Perfectly happy to pay artists for their work; entirely unwilling to pay the scum that aggregate and charge for access to that art, with countless strings attached.

Bit old, but pretty much everything Source Engine is self-hostable isn’t it? Most of them even come with a pre-configured SRCDS (SouRCe Dedicated Server) you can download and run right from the steam launcher.

I know I ran a GarrysMod server for quite a while; piling a shit ton of mods on it. Plus any source game you’ve got installed, Garrys Mod can and will use the resources/assets from.

:/ shit.

I’m pretty sure I saw this a few months ago and moved to the beatkind/watchtower fork, but it’s not been updated in 6mo either. (Devs only been active in private repos; so they’re still around, just not actively working on watchtower)

Guess I’ll find another solution. Hell, I might just put my own script on crontab. Looping through folders running docker compose down/pull/up isn’t too hard really.

My wife got very upset. Apparently she likes the ads.

Set static IPs for her devices, then whitelist that device IP past the block lists by adding it to a group, then regex allow domain: ‘*’ for that group.
