Reply to comment by TallestSkil in IRS would track all bank transactions over $600 under Biden plan; Businesses revolt by Rambler
Unsure. I own a small business that does a lot of crypto payments but there isn't much I can do for our fiat holdings. Our biggest operational costs I pay in crypto each month but still have to keep money in the bank and transfer funds from PayPal and Stripe on a regular basis.
I still claim and account for all crypto stuff to keep Uncle Sam happy and to keep things legal, but the $600 bank thing is so comically dumb that you'd think they forgot a couple of zeroes.

Acknowledging is awesome. Doing something about it is better.

I ended up downloading a few voice samples for the things I use spd-say in my scripts and pick one at random each time. Now I'll be getting a more pleasant voice experience when things go wrong. (I went with spd-say because it was too easy to overlook notifications.)

These are instructions I found on how to fill it out https://archive.is/zcsdl
I'm guessing it is double sided but I'm not sure.

How is it filled out? Is this paper double-sided?

Reply to comment by Wahaha in Why this Website is not, and may never be, HTTPS by HMTg927
Actually, you can visit sites with an expired certificate, just not those that have HTTP Strict Transport Security enabled, which, for me, is the biggest problem when a site has Clownflare, since the way I distrust Clownflare is not by the awful addon that even Dig Deeper doesn't recommend any more (compare), but by removing the certificate in LibreWolf, so obviously, it thinks they're insecure. And that's true, since Clownflare decrypts your TLS traffic, but I still use Discord regularly, and since it has HSTS, I have to use ungoogled-chromium.
As for Chromium, there is a way to bypass HSTS there, even though the RFC 6797 standard doesn't allow that, but it also looks like they're rotating the way it's done when the awareness increases, and they might have removed it at this point? It's kind of confusing for me.
And, well, using HTTPS for these kinds of websites is useless. And yes, if you still want some kind of security, use VPN or Tor (pro tip: connect to a VPN like Mullvad first, then to Tor), but you could also use the Wayback Machine or archive.today for an easier way. You also get a permalink to the website in case something happens.

I only know that the site might be buggy because of traffic, but they should be fixed in the next few days. As for the spd-say
drop-in replacement, that would possibly using cURL, PhantomJS, whatever, to simulate requests a web browser would make, and I don't know much about both. Maybe leave that to someone else... or simply use a web browser for this (it looks like it requires enabling some 3rd-party requests in uMatrix - also, does it work in Pale Moon?)

This is pretty amazing. Now guys can be vthots on YouTube.

Is it painless to make this a drop-in replacement for the Linux utility "spd-say"? Or will it always take ages to go from inputting text to hearing a voice?
Wahaha wrote
I never understood the craze over https myself. Or why browsers prevent you from visiting a site with an expired certificate. At some point they removed the "I don't care, give me the site" option.

The site uses a currently valid Let's Encrypt certificate. Are you still getting a certificate error?

Reply to Reddit suddenly cares about big tech censorship now that the Russian government was able to threaten Google into censoring the Russian opposition party. by ghast
While I don't agree with government censorship, Russia is a sovereign nation, they get to set their own rules. If Google wants to open an office and do business there, it'll have to play by Putin's rules.

Rambler wrote (edited )
I've not really followed Dark Web news / drama / happenings outside of what maintainers of code like Tor, I2P, etc actually publish and of course they never comment on things like this. Just bug fixes, improvements, plans, and discussion about the network itself and not the content on it.
So what's the consensus on this guy? A Fed? Lucky? Too smart to get caught so he's back to do it 'right'? I had never heard of AlphaBay until recently when I saw on /r/i2p that the site was supposed to be on the I2P network this time instead of Tor. Is that true?
And yeah, Thai prison isn't anyplace a foreigner would want to wind up... South East Asia isn't really a place anyone should go to fuck around with drugs or anything trafficking related. Your stay at the "Bangkok Hilton" isn't going to be very comfortable.

Reply to NOT AGAIN!!! 10% of Internet to go offline soon! Let's Encrypt HTTPS ROOT certificates built deep inside most OSes all go dead Sept 30th 2021 for All internet able devices made since 2001 and 2 years ago, or turned off for 2 years and not OS updated. Hundreds of millions of users screwed that week. by smartypants
This will not be the first time a root CA certificate has expired and I imagine it will follow the same trend as previous expirations where things break.
Translation: literally nothing is happening nor will ever happen, since they’re simply going to reissue the certificate with a new date of expiry. Like every other certificate ever.

Reply to Facebook-owned sites are down by BlueHat
While reading about this earlier I was shocked to learn just how common Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp is for everyday communication between friends, family and relatives. In some parts of the world, the vast majority of communication is now done on these platforms, all under the same umbrella.
So while I hate Facebook, it's just bizzare to me how in some areas of the world it's used predominately for their chat apps / messenger for important communication.
Like, maybe get your grandma's phone number and call her or send your girlfriend a text message.
EDIT: And from a sysadmin perspective, it always makes you feel a bit better when things like this happen. If companies like Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Playstation, etc can have widescale outages that impact millions of users/customers then it makes you feel a bit better when you goof up something relatively small that only impacts a handful of people.
