People routinely use worse options because of familiarity

Ships with windows or blank disk (selectable). Ubuntu/mint/fedora are officially supported but you could install other distros like arch

Certain TLD (e.g. .com, .net, .xyz) will cost a different amount per year to register. I use porkbun as well. A .com or .net may be $12.50+ per year. The cheapest domain is 9 numbers and .xyz from porkbun at 1.22/yr (e.g 123456789.xyz) but isnt as memorable. I use one of those just for external access otg with a cron script for updating the dns entries.

Also remember to hide the whois info because you will immediately start getting calls from scammers that scrape the phone number and call you telling you that you need to pay them to finish setting things up

Generic process is to register the domain, set up the DNS entries to point to your server IP, and if theres any dynamic DNS setup in your software, to enter the api key from your registrar and the domain so it can update it if your IP ever changes.

This ignores things like slave catchers who ventured across state borders into the north to catch free men (illegally) and the south by seceding was taking hostage those people and other Americans. West Virginia exists because the government of Virginia decided they wanted to secede but the people didn’t

Also states don’t get to vote on laws and just leave and get their way anyways if the vote doesn’t go their way. That’s the agreement they made, and the only basis they had for seceding was they feared a law that would make them unable to own slaves.

The confederacy also started the war with the north by attacking fort Sumter

The republicans have always gotten their way by obstructing everywhere they can and forcing negotiations even when they do not have the majority. The democratic leadership (e.g. hakeem jeffries and chuck schumer) throw their hands up and say “we cant do anything” and promptly do nothing or flip sides.

Doing this sets a standard for democratic politicians and puts pressure on the democrats to do something, anything even if it is just to be a thorn in the republicans side. Any of them who continues to waste the little power they do have will have to face their own constituents who ask “if Booker can do that for 25 hours, where the fuck were you when we needed you to fight back against this”

It might prevent them from voting too

That seems pretty arbitrary

0-2 would indicate negative, 0 being extremely bad and life changing and 2 pretty bad (worse than broken bones)

3 which should be neutral is broken bones

4-6 indicates success, but 4 seems to be just barely passing (e.g. landing it but with a fumble and falling) which doesnt seem to balance out a broken bone for 3 or something worse at 2

That is the opposite of what the we should have learned from what happened with the Nazis and what Milgram experiment warned us of. Its the reason there’s memes about “just following orders.” If pressured, most people will just listen to what theyre told even if it means knowingly hurting someone.

Passive acceptance is part of the reason Nazis were able to take over while not being the majority in Germany.

Not a backdoor, just undocumented commands on the hci. You would already need access to the device from the microcontroller side to leverage them. Also it’s not uncommon for older devices like this to have undocumented commands

If you do a 5 bit encoding (0-31) that’s enough for the alphabet and numbers can overlap with letters like in braille, plus spaces. Thats around 1638 characters. Standard ascii is technically 7 bits and that would compress to 1170 characters without the initial 0

This is smorty

Unfortunately he has a gaggle of hitler youth in tow doing his bidding for him

Lemmy.world ended up being the default instance for everyone hopping from reddit, so it’s quickly become more akin to reddit than other servers. Not to mention the tankies have migrated to lemmy.ml (developer run and explicitly marxist / tankie instance), lemmygrad.ml (marxist tankie 4chan instance), and hexbear (tankie communists that were isolated / defederated by choice for a while. They started federating and many instances blocked them for trolling. Full of trolls). I went to lemmy.ca but lemmy.world blocked me for being a bot, which I am not, so I had to make a new account because the admins never bothered to respond. Also lemmy.world admins have been going kinda crazy / heavy handed with the moderation and many people on other servers are rightfully upset with them

*will be used for

They are a fairly small group compared to other marginalized groups, and particularly vulnerable compared to others. There is already a lot of misinformation about them. Average people often dont run into them or understand them Well enough to make informed decisions. Its easy for billionaires and republicans to wield religion against them. They are often vocal about their beliefs. Intersectionality is also important (e.g. supporting and protecting other minority demographics’ rights because it is the right thing to do, and tearing each other down is counterproductive) to them, which isnt always the case. Disappearing them sets an example and is a test run for setting up the infrastructure and means to take control. See: nazi germany with the deaf, and current marginalization by the trump administration of the trans and disabled communities.

Outdated data. The votes were not done being counted on November 10th. Trump got 49.8% to Harris’ 48.3%

Means potato / lame

Because theyre a domain registrar, its not the same process for them. They can essentially pay pennies on the dollar to hold them for several months-a year. I’m not sure if they get it back like a deposit, but it costs them almost nothing. You can complain to WIPO but you might have difficulty getting anywhere without suing and showing something trademark infringement (with a registered trademark)

There are things they do that are beyond that, like if you look up a domain on their website to see if its available and it is, theyll essentially register it for cheap and then hold onto it so you can only buy it from them at an upcharged price, and even if you go to another registrar thats cheaper, you cant register it because they already own it
