My concern is that if you’ve got so many that the enemy can’t keep track of them I have concerns that perhaps you can’t keep track of them either.

I never understood why any country needed more than like…20 nukes.

If someone is willing to risk you firing one nuke at them, I don’t think another thousand will detur them.

I’m glad this disgrace is getting some international traction. We have weaker laws around lobbying than the USA which is hard to believe.

I think he means 30meters. miles is mi.

remember Cambridge Analytics? no one else seems to…

I never said i was on the right

I appreciate your rant and think your username is very apt.

meanwhile I have mates telling me that googles SSO is the best thing since sliced bread.

well what’s the name for people who don’t think there is a doomsday coming but feel like its not a bad idea to keep a tanks worth of petrol some canned food and a few blocks of water in the garage? I don’t think the internet is going to stop anytime soon either but if it did I’d be able to access Wikipedia, watch a few movies and my security cameras and smart home would still work.

Either you are splitting hairs or do not understand how precarious our way of life is.

Running out of food, water or fuel is not some hypothetical future bad thing. It happens all around the world, sometimes even in western countries.

In Australia we had a fire at one of the gas processing plants in the 90’s and the whole state was without gas (actual Liquid natural gas, for cooking and heating) for almost a month, back then literally everything was run on gas. hot water, ducted heating, ovens, many cars because it was so cheap and plentiful). It seems ridiculous considering we are one of the biggest producers in the world.

You think you are tacking ‘real’ issues with your servers, but to the average user you seem just as crazy as a guy with a basement full of beans and piss jugs, screaming about the government is watching us constantly.

But now we know that they are watching, and pushing people towards specific ideas using social media and many other things we though were just crazy talk.

I’d have a bit more sympathy for the preppers if I was you.

Even if I didn’t run my own DNS, the cache on the local devices would have been enough to let me access things like plex or nextcloud. Or just type the local ip in directly

depends what the bad thing is in your opinion, i guess.

If you mean “losing any semblance of control over the things we need survive (digitally)” then I’d say its the same a prepping.

You can quite comfortably exist in the digital space and access everything you need via others if you want.

Just like you can exist in the real world, using fuel, food, power and other goods and services, supplied by others.

Both scenarios work well right up until they don’t.

That’s actually kind of reassuring. As an Australian that didn’t loose his until he was 18, it felt like everyone and their dog was rooting well before me.

I don’t think you have to be autistic to have a passion for something and realise that the only way you’ll pass that knowledge on is via written text.

Before the printing press the only way to copy a book was by hand. Do you think the people doing it were odd or just pragmatic?
