I actually don't think you need to put a lot of effort in order to make Flash usable in a browser. Just get Adobe Flash 32.0.0.363 from Internet Archive (clear net only) and Basilisk Browser (clear net only). Sure, Adobe made Flash dead since 12 January 2021, Mozilla will fully kill Flash after 7 September 2021, Google made Flash dead since 19 January 2021, Microsoft released a Flash-killing update on 18 February 2021, Apple was the earliest to kill Flash on 16 September 2020, so using Flash has been made more difficult, but it's still not impossible!
And actually, if you know how Microsoft earns money, then I guess it's fine?

Flash died at the beginning of 2021. Unless you put lots of effort in, it won't work in any browser anymore.
I trust Microsoft more than I trust DDG, which is why I have no problem using Bing directly. And the reason I trust Microsoft is because I understand how they make money. I don't use Bing, I use searx. But I'd use Bing over DDG.

TL;DR: yes, ungoogled-chromium was a pain to create, but IDK why would you use Bing/Yahoo directly instead of using DuckDuckGo as a middleman.
Ah, creating ungoogled-chromium. It was a pain, and while Eloston (I guess that's their name?) is a nice and skilled guy, the Chromium codebase is massive, so I feel like this might not be long until ungoogled-chromium dies, and that's sad because I won't really have any good web browser choices:
- GNU IceCat - it's freetardist, so no Flash Player, and there's the annoying LibreJS add-on. Also, it still suffers from Firefox's BS, like the bad UI, slow speed, barely any configuration, depreciated XUL add-ons, etc.
- Pale Moon - has an add-on blocklist, enables WebAssembly by default, has spyware by default, etc.
- Otter Browser - uses QtWebEngine, which is controlled by Goolag, and it doesn't support add-ons
I think the only good browser is Web Browser, but, well, it turns out the compiling process for Windoze (which I might be still forced to use) has been removed, so that's a problem.
Also, why would you use Bing directly instead of through a proxy like DuckDuckGo? (I mean, it could fit into the definition of a proxy server - a server that is a middleman between the user and the other server) Or Yahoo, for that matter, since both are used when searching with DuckDuckGo? In this case, I would rather proxy than to directly give data to some big corpo, but okay.

Totally true.
Outlaw country = the trailer park and mucky farms. Rap is urban asses fault, I mean asphalt at 130F and projects and hoods.
Different wrappers on the same social dysfunction.
Often poverty as major underlying cause. Mental health like 80% of time in play. Drugs and alcohol are almost always an arm length away. Abuse soon follows.
I am okay with both forms of music. So long as it isn't horror and gore just for shock value. So long as it isn't artist just trying to be a bad ass cause of their scary past.
I like music that tells stories. Prefer true stories. Doesn't need to be their own story.
Not into degenerate, demeaning, etc. Some old stuff that I tolerate like that. Gil Scott Heron back in 1970s had a choice track about trannies parading around New York City. Today he'd get endless terror because of. Back then it was edgy but fine. Not mainstream airplay, nor was much of his large body of work.
WAP? Sure that's a good thing and saves on the KY. But that's some filthy ghetto stuff and no place should be for it on the public radio waves. Include in that big chunk of rap, and big chunk of outlaw country.
Toss in metalcore too and the endless satan signaling, blood worship, etc.

Reply to A Radio Station for Nostalgic Cowboys - Short (12min) documentary about a young guy running a radio station in the middle of nowhere, catering to the aging population of the town. “I’m trying to reach out of that radio and say to older listeners, ‘Hey. You can feel good again,” by Rambler
Watching now :)
Curious about this station.
Dug up link to listen to their station live:

That works in browser. Didn't work at CLI.

Facebook routinely asks for ID.
They also hunt and track you all over the net. Reason there why you should block Facebook's domains entirely on your network and only do logged in socializing there via Tor (ideally on a different device used just for that filth).

Reply to The Dead Kennedys - Holiday in Cambodia by Rambler
I am a big fan of Jello Biafra's spoken word albums.
Back when issues were real and people decent about the struggles against the imposing force of government.
Recent times Biafra has fallen out of sanity and went on Nazi rant about Trump. War of words against his former bandmates. Etc.

I'm not too skilled at interpreting the information from that email. Are these nodes associated with Cipherpunk Labs? What does the WHOIS info about these IPs suggest about the entity behind these new nodes?

i personally dont trust apple enough to think they'd continue to do this in a competent fashion. apple has the worst track record with security than any other tech company.

The effort was creating ungoogled-chromium. I'm on a semi-private searx instance that works well, mostly.
I guess I'd rather use Bing than DDG. At least Microsoft doesn't earn money by selling my information, as far as I know.

What is the Sybil attack? Is this a term that is well defined with Tor?
It's defined as:
In a Sybil attack, the attacker subverts the reputation system of a network service by creating a large number of pseudonymous identities and uses them to gain a disproportionately large influence.
Basically running a large number of network nodes (relays, exits) to analyze traffic and stuff.

TL;DR: it takes little effort to use ungoogled-chromium, searX has average results, DDG might be hiding something.
I don't think you need to put any effort to use ungoogled-chromium - it's literally just a drop-in replacement for Goolag Hrom and Chromium.
Actually, never mind, you do need to put a bit of additional effort if you want to install more add-ons than you had before when transfering your user data from Hrom to ungoogled-chromium. But it's not a lot, really: https://github.com/NeverDecaf/chromium-web-store
And about searX having good results... no, I don't think so. I think searX results are average because
- search engines block searX instances,
- even if they're not blocked, the results are weak, even when you choose big providers/violators such as Google, Bing, Yahoo,
- even if the results are not weak, they are mixed in weird ways, such as a full page with only one search engine.
I think the third problem is especially serious because searX has (or at least used to have) a bug where the results don't go beyond the first page. Of course, it depends on the instance you use, settings, and time of usage, but still.
And yeah, we might not know everything about DDG, but unless it turns out DuckDuckGo has been bought by Macroshaft (or some other big corpo), I'll continue using it. And if that thing happens, I'll just privately host a searX instance because both Mojeek and Wiby.me suck, unfortunately.

Looks like someone trying to mass control exit nodes and sniff away.

I'd scour the offers out there for cheap dedicated servers (if your budget allows the luxury). There are a number of companies offering ARM platform which will work just fine for most uses. Some of those can be had for $10-20 a month. Downside is you aren't going to do lots of nested virtualization on those. Maybe Docker.
I'd find cheapest ARM offerings and use them for single task sort of chores.
There is older generation gear piled up all over and it can be cheap rental. Straight Intel and AMD gear. Can slice and dice your server up real good and do everything.
Like here (no clue about their general reliability or private customer tolerance): https://billing.dacentec.com/hostbill/index.php?/cart/dedicated-servers/
There dedicated servers start at $20 a month.
Other companies out there like OVH which host a lot of sketch on their big fat network, but may be a sign up issue.

Future reference of filament I've already bought. Instead of trying to remember how it looks or prints I can pull one of these out if I am looking at buying it again.
