There's no guarantee it's even the police. Could be sex traffickers for all you know.

There is no guarantee this is an arrest.

These people are not showing that they are law enforcement. For all we know we just watched someone get kidnapped by sex traffickers.

Bystanders shouldn't stand by idle, if someone is getting kidnapped right in front of you, and you're able bodied, you should do something about it, violently. Even if it means grabbing the closest heavy thing and throwing it at them. Yell, make a scene, yell out "kidnappers help me!" ....etc

NEVER LET YOURSELF OR SOMEONE ELSE BE TAKEN TO A SECONDARY LOCATION. EVER.

Anything your captors are willing to do in public is only a fraction of what they would be willing to do in private.

You don't necessarily have to put yourself in harms way, but you can still show some level of resistance to kidnappers, rapists, and the rest. No one should just let those things happen in front of them, and simply pull their phone out to film.

That's some psycho pass level shit.

Legal defense doesn't matter for you when you're shot or choked dead by "police" because you defended yourself against an unknown assailant.

Well, this is in JS to be clear

Instead of

const name = user.name

It's

const userToName(user) => user.name;

const name = userToName(user);

Ad nauseum.

We have a principal engineer on our team that is pushing this sort of style, hard.

It's essentially obfuscation, no one else on the team can really review, nevermind understand and maintain what they write. It's all just functional abstractions on top of abstractions, every little thing is a function, even property/field access is extracted out to a function instead of just.... Using dot notation like a normal person.

You might not necessarily have to fork BitTorrent and instead if you have your own protocol for grouping and breaking the data into manageable chunks of a particular size and each one of those represents an actual full torrent. Then you won't necessarily have to worry about completion levels on those torrents and you can rely on the protocol to do its thing.

Instead of trying to modify the protocol modify the process that you wish to use protocol with.

Options:

  1. Very Wet paper towel on the plate, microwave the plate for 30-60s
  2. Heat it up over a flame, a ways away (ie. Butane torch under it, but like 12" away)
  3. If you have a small countertop over or air fryer/toaster. Heat it up in there briefly
  4. If you're making toast, place it on top of the toaster (not too long, it can still break).

You can also use an oven, but that's a lot of air to heat up for just a plate. If you're already using it though, that's a win.

I heat my plates up alllll the time.

Let this be a lesson to write down any fake data you enter into accounts.

My keepass entries maintain all the fake form into for each account, makes it possible to move forward in instances just like this.

Oh for sure, that's quite reasonable, though at some point you just move towards re-creating BitTorrent, which will be the actual effect you want.

You could build an appliance on top of the protocol that enables the distributed storage, that might actually be pretty reasonable 🤔

Ofc you will need your own protocols to break the data up into manageable parts, chunked in a same way, and make it capable of being removed from the network or at least made inaccessible for dmca claims. Things that is completely preventing the internet archive from being too much of a target from government entities.

Exploitable labor!

The actual volume of data is kind of insane for distribution. You start running into many scale problems.

At ~70PB of storage, assumed redundant as well. And at ~$15/TB JUST for HDDs alone, you're talking $2.1 million in just hard drives.

Installation, hardware, and facility costs will at least pentuple that number, if we're being crazy conservative. Making the cost to stand up an archive $10.5 million?


During this process I found out that their finances are public and there is more reliable information out there:

  • $2/GB for permanent storage, overall ( $2000/TB)

The cost to store the data and run the archive is a whopping $36mill/y at the moment.

Which if you consider what they do is incredibly cheap. And easily fundable by even a small municipality never mind a large Nation.

And then you get fucked by automatic IRS systems that put a lean on everything you own?

Your employer already reports out what you're paid. The IRS already knows, and automated systems can easily harm you.

 

Hopefully you all can help!

I've been to hundreds of threads over the last few days trying to puzzle this out, with no luck.

The problem:

  1. Caddy v2 with acme HTTP-1 ACME challenge (Changed from TLS-ALPN challenge)
  2. Cloudflair DNS with proxy ON
  3. All cloudflair https is off
  4. This is a .co domain

Any attempt to get certificates fails with an invalid challenge response. If I try and navigate (or curl) to the challenge directly I always get SSL validation errors as if all the requests are trying to upgrade to HTTPS.

I'm kind of at my wit's end here and am running out of things to try.

If I turn Cloud flare proxy off and go back to TLS-ALPN challenge, everything works as expected. However I do not wish to expose myself directly and want to use the proxy.

What should I be doing?


I have now solved this by using Cloudflair DNS ACME challenge. Cloudflair SSL turned back on. Everything works as expected now, I can have external clients terminate SSL at cloudflair, cloudflair communicate with my proxy through HTTPS, and have internal clients terminate SSL at caddy.

 

I just messed my ankle up and am going to a conference in a couple days where I normally walk 15-25 miles/day for the next week.

I've been advised to use a wheelchair instead of crutches. And will rent one when I get there.

I get the feeling that I'm throwing myself into the fire here, having never used a wheelchair before, and likely spending a crazy amount of time in one moving around over the next week.

I usually can't deal with sitting down for more than an hour or so before my back hurts, so I'm worried about that.

What advice do you all have for me? What do I need to know? What pro-tips should I take for the next week?

 

In my 30's and only within the last few years have I been able to really introspect my life, and realize behaviors that I've "created" or "fake" in social interactions. I struggled a lot in middle/high school, and even through my 20's. I've essentially "found" myself to some degree in my 30's, but I'm actually not sure how much of it is me and how much of it is masking.

I recognize the signs when I'm being fake in interactions that would benefit from being more genuine. It's automatic, and I've noticed others take notice when it's the wrong mask at the wrong time. Which just means I get better at it, which is nice and all, but it would be cool if it wasn't such an automatic reaction.

So my question to all of you is how do you reduce masking behavior in situations or relationships where it may be beneficial or necessary to not do so?

Awkwardly I guess you could answer this with "You get better at it with time", which is true of most things. However, I'm looking for some emotionally intelligent advice or anecdotes.

Anyone else get anxiety when waiting for communication on anything soft-planned (or even hard planned for that matter)? Spiraling and all that.

Especially if the person involved is late or didn't respond. Ofc the reaction is to check in, that's what I'd want someone else to do for me if I indicated I'd do something or message someone. However, that can be interpreted as being needy or clingy when really I just want to know the plan and not be left hanging.

Life happens ofc, people gotta cancel plans, that's okay. But what really rubs things wrong is being left without information, that's when the anxiety shoots. Do you wait for them, or go do something else? If you go do something else, what happens when they're suddenly available? That's not respecting my time, so it's rude, but do you convey that?? What if you hinged your day on something, that just throws a big ass wrench in.

Everyone is living their own lives, and things happen, preventing communication. It just feels like it's more common than it used to be, or more... Negligent?

Gah.

I guess /rant really.

 

I have already seen an allergist, and was on ramp up. We had to move, and to my surprise none of the clinics here will administer allergy shots.

There is a speciality clinic that will, but only if you are a patient of their allergist, they won't administer injections unless it came from them. There is a 3y wait-list for their allergist.

This is terrible news. My seasonal allergies are debilitating, they are a disability. In the words of my allergist "You are allergic to the world".

I could administer them at home, my spouse is an MA and knows how to do the subcutaneous shots. However, that's dangerous, and my allergist refuses to allow me to do this.

The alternative would be to just walk into a clinic or ER, get the shots administered by my spouse in the lobby. Wait the 20-30 minutes to ensure no anaphylactic reaction, and go home. And do this till I've ramped. But I get the feeling this won't go over well....

What sort of advice do you have for me on navigating this Lemmy? I was receiving treatment for this condition, and now I can't, which is essentially driving me into depression.

This is great news, and a strong step forward.

A big part of this are the limitations around part pairing. Which often prevents repairs as the parts on the device are paired to each other and do not allow you to swap them out.

Recently this has become a problem even for EUVs like OneWheel. Who lock consumers out of repairing or modifying their devices.

Whenever I try and go to this instance it shows that an unexpected error has occurred. What's the dealio?

The website itself appears to work.

 

Seems an engineer stole source code, docs, presentations...etc related to car technology.

 

I can't seem to figure out how to do this in liftoff.

The best search and find method that I have for communities is to create a new post and I can search through the communities on an instance there.

However I'm not sure how else to search for communities, it just go directly to one, as the search function isn't to helpful right now.

A good example of why GitHub and similar sites/services are not reliable or good places to publicize this sort of data.

It seems kind of dubious that the DB could be DMCA'd for containing copyrighted videos, when it actually doesn't 🤔
