Been back on a Jessica Lee Mayfield kick the past couple days.
She gets played on repeat for a few days every few months or so.

There was some weird issue displaying for a little while after the update due to a duplicated Content-Security-Policy Header ... Should be fixed now.
I just happened to check the site from a different device than usual and noticed it looked strange. I do a lot of local caching because of my piss-poor internet available (data caps) so hadn't noticed it.

Also increased the max upload size to 3mb. That should be plenty large enough for memes, screenshots, etc.

"Rather than go full nuclear on the tracking, Google came up with a compromise solution to the cookie debacle. The company plans on using the browser to group together internet users who have similar browsing patterns. In turn, businesses can serve relevant ads to these clusters of like-minded people, removing the need to track users individually."
No thanks. Use Brave instead

This is great news, CloudFlare must be avoided at all costs, they give up information without hesitation.

I'm not using an old browser, but some naive spoofing. Which is apparently enough to run into IP blocks of this site, which happens to me regularly since a few days ago. I then have to press a button to get a new identity and everything is fine again.
After I figured out the privacy nightmare that user-agents are and that there's nothing you can do to any single user-agent to avoid this problem, I've opted to instead have the user-agent change every few minutes. Which includes IP information.

Reply to spotting shitty (cbd¿) weed? by Asterix
That's why I am happy I live in a legal state. This is CBD flower https://preview.redd.it/fcn49vby5cd61.jpg?width=576&auto=webp&s=3000728cb2e24e2a440fea8764216a911ace272f which looks like some of the high THC stuff I get from a shop. If I was buying street weed again I'd be afraid of dropping money on an ounce only to get CBD flower instead.

Reply to comment by CyberKat in Best method of converting PDF files to HTML files? by Rambler
Thanks for the resposne. I actually ended up using Calibre to convert to html with some limited success. I think I need to adjust the settings more, as some of the pages had some weird formatting issues with the embedded images and text overlapping them, or in some cases lines not wrapping to the page causing horizontal scroll in the browser.
It's still something I want to get working as I have some great ebooks on alternative construction, gardening, and a lot of homestead and off-grid living stuff that I want to share. Maybe some day soon...

First time posting so take it easy on me please... I use Linux Mint and have found a program back when I was a windows user called Calibre which is an ebook management program. It is a Linux program that normally is in your Software Manager. Among it's features is the ability to convert ebooks to different formats. HTML is one format, I personally use it to convert them to .txt and then use text2wav and Lame to convert them to mp3 as I am an OLD computer user (53) and am slowly going blind. Hope this helps! if you want me to send you my .sh I wrote to handle the .txt to .mp3 process let me know via email fu.killme @ gmail.com

Pretty good read.
The capabilities of today must be pretty far advanced. What do you think they can do?

Dead shot. I'll consider home-built quantum networks.

Well, with option #2, they get to keep this magic eraser that they can use on pretty much whoever.

Would depend on your settings, really. I do 100% BW share and have optimized the settings (mainly just router.config, but wrapper.config as well for increase memory usage to serve more traffic).
Since I have a data cap at home with slow rural wireless, I'd have to do very limited sharing to make sure I don't hit any limits.

Reply to comment by div1337 in I spent 2020 replacing all the Google things in my life. Here's what I use now instead. by Rambler
I used to use Piwik in the past and really enjoyed it. Now I'm wanting to find something that does it all server side, and pulls data from access logs. I don't need all the fancy graphs and analytical data, but being able to chart out traffic/visits/popular pages and basic stuff like that would be nice.

Reply to No, you shouldn't use Brave. by Rambler
Brave is at the forefront of browser privacy, bringing fingerprinting shield and tor browser to the non-techies and their (upcoming?) p2p protocol will be so awesome.

Sometimes I mistake him for junichi suwabe (known for voicing archer from fate stay night and is urrently voicing sukuna from jujutsu kaisen and yami sikehiro from black clover) especially when they scream they both sound very similar, but when speaking calmly, I can kinda sometimes them apart

I doubt it. 45% of registered republicans supported the actions of demonstrators who stormed the capitol.
They have a big national security problem on their hands. There are two main ways they could deal with this.
-
Thoroughly investigate the 2020 election and make real improvements to ensure that people have confidence in the results of future elections. Allow people to have more freedom and stop passing unconstitutional laws.
-
Label anyone who questions the validity of the result a terrorist or potential terrorist. Ruin the lives of demonstrators. Increase domestic surveillance so that if anyone takes it upon himself to water the tree, he can be prevented from taking out anyone too important.
So far it's clear that they prefer option 2.

As the last resort I bootstrap tor via i2p. I also reseed i2p using tor.
