I use nginx conditionals and useragent checking, then respond with 418 or 410.

Probably too late now but my list needs updating

.onion, aka a TOR internal URL. They look like this.

Documentation: https://support.torproject.org/about-tor/onion-services/what...

There are also many web sites that provide an onion address in addition to their clearnet address. For example, the BBC: https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-50150981

If I ever get a .onion (everyone should have an onion probably) I'll also register the same domain "dot net, it's dot com" just for the lols.

It doesn't cost anything to have a .onion. You just run Tor and enable hidden service mode.

And onion urls are a sha hash of i think the private key of the site

They contain the full key now which is why they are longer. Apparently it was necessary to fix the vulnerabilities in the previous version.

Public key obviously, not private.

It's an onion link (TOR).

Uhg i totally forgot about their round mouse. Bright colored iMac days!

Unless you watch actual TV theres no reason to buy an actual TV in my opinion. You can get nicely large monitors and displays for pretty cheap, and a minipc or even a stick pc and youre good to go.

Both of my 'TV's are big monitors with some lenovo minipcs running debian. Hardwired, but i could wifi them if i want.

Zero tracking, zero bullshit.

I literally felt ill from reading this.

Security is important, but not at the expense of complete removal of human privacy.

I recently dove down a somewhat similar rabbithole. DNS is a mess of addons over the years to an originally minimal protocol. I wanted to see if it was possible to replace dns entirely. In short, its not. You can easily write your own resolver to do whatever you want, and easily add it to the windows or linux stack. Everything immedoately falls apart as soon as you start talking about MX, TXT, and other records dns provides. It turns out most of these lookups are handled by other libraries and you cannot replace them since they are engrained in the app needing to do the lookup.

Unfortunately, dns is so engrained in the internet, theres no way to replace it without replacing the internet

How? You are here on earth, looking at a neutron star. It pulses about N times a minute. I am 5ly away, looking at the same neutron star. Yes, i see the pulses happening at about N times per second, but the pulse delay you see at time T(a) is not the same pulse delay i see at time T(a), it would be another 5 years before i see the same pulse you saw.

I seriously doubt we will stay on earth like that. Humans have always been explorers and pioneers. You can only look at something through a screen for so long before you get the itch that you cant scratch through a screen. Humans will inevitably leave this planet.

Robots on other planets is a rough process. Most planets, lacking atmosphere, have dust that gets EVERYWHERE, and its really bad for mechanical, electrical operations. The moon has a static charge that causes the regolith powder to seep into the smallest cracks. Humanoid robots will not last long, and all other forms are just a single failure from uselessness. Until they can either self-repair, or repair others (meaning n+1 minimum robots sent), it will not be useful for long exploration. And, honestly, id be pretty worried to find robots that could self-repair or repair others. Thats just a small step away from self-replication, and that leads down other scary paths.

By now, a lot of machinery has operated on Luna and Mars. That seems to be a solvable problem.

Venus, though... That's too hot. Last lander was in 1982 (USSR) and lasted about an hour and a half before overheating.

I deal with some regulated things and some users who usually wouldnt be allowed to see/work on a thing are granted special access to do so, with extreme limitations. Recently i was approached asking if we could strip down the users desktops to no gui, no sudo, for use as a jumpbox. I explained why users need sudo to do what they need, and was asked about limiting sudo.

Its really tough to tell someone who is all about security (not linux security but regulatory security and such) that basically granting any bit of sudo access can lead to full access.

There is a way that this can be handled, but its honestly sort of an afterthought functionality. facls. You can delegate multiple owners/groups and permissions for things, and it can work well, but you have to deal with facls on multiple fronts, setting them for basically the entire system. facls are great, in theory, but they feel like such an afterthought that they are often ignored.

You could provide decently meaningful and targeted sandboxing using mount namespaces and an overlay FS, while retaining sudo privileges for what you need to do.

It's really interesting to me that people write these sort of messages in this context. The context being multiple companies with actual material scientists that think this is viable, and that are investing actual dollars into this idea.

My first assumption when thinking about wood is the one that you are having. But my second assumption would be that they've probably thought about the same things.

We are in a post-hyperloop, post-spinlaunch, post-theranos, post-oceangate world. You can't trust that any project is not just there to generate VC hype.

But we are talking about multiple companies considering the same approach. By definition it shouldn't be vapourware.

I would imagine the wood would be processed.

Conditions in space are extreme but at least they are stable and known so i'd bet we would know how to treat the wood for this environment.

"Engineered wood" is a whole field. It's basically an organic composite, a slightly more flexible form of carbon fiber.

Take another look at the article; it addresses exactly this.
