Seems to require a phone number? Won't be for me...

This, though there is a very real problem of a mass-adopted online payment method where that $1 transaction is a net profit.

I'll concede that a small closet can get pretty warm from even lower power devices. However, as long as the CPU isn't overheating and the space is clean and dry, it doesn't matter.

Just install a low power CPU. You can get one on eBay delivered for a little more than USPS 1st class shipping. Most of my devices, including my NAS, consume 25-35w, so up to 15w additional consumption, as checked with Kill-A-Watt.

Ever do a tiny load of laundry to get one shirt clean? You've just used something like a year of computer running.

Do you run your air conditioning while your refrigerator exhausts into your kitchen? I call that a kitchen heater. You're heating a cooled space.

I find for whatever reason, tech people all worry about the energy consumed by tiny devices.

You can run them on an old computer. Used mini-towers and desktop form factor can be had for close to free.

The next major release of pfSense will require hardware encryption support (e.g., AES-NI).

OPNSense is very reliable, but has fewer features though is in active development. Haven't used it in around 18 months or so.

I picked up an HP 4-port 1gbps PCIe card for $40.

And it doesn't make it true.

This is speculation.

Or perhaps a red priestess?

Well, they obviously don't have the training or technology to resuscitate someone who is mostly dead - for this, you need a miracle wizard.

What if the reason PG&E is turning off the power is not because they are concerned about their lines starting fires, but that they are being scapegoated by the state of California for damage resulting from poor public policy relating to fire dangers?

The predictions of a future with large amounts of fires go back quite a ways, and there is some evidence to suggest that native Indians took measures to limit the spread of wildfires. Even if it is assumed that PG&E equipment starts a fire, the exceptional damage caused by the fire is the result of the poor management policies.

I've drifted around on my opinions on this whole matter, but currently I find that PG&E is working to steer clear of lawsuits, nothing else.

How is the problem invalid? I mean, seriously - those guys spend a lot of money greasing the wheels of your local town council, and they gotta' put food on their plates like everybuddy else.

What you are describing doesn't seem to be a MITM attack on https traffic, but something else, which is why I stated "sans CA cert".

Do you have a link to anything on this? I'm still not clear on how to MITM a TLS transmission sans CA cert.

Why not get a $5/mo VPS and use VPN?

That's interesting. Can someone elaborate on this? My understanding is once the session is established, that's it. just encrypted traffic. How to inject something into ecrypted traffic?

A homeless person desiring to gain some employable skills has an easier time doing such with the Internet and an access device, such as a phone - even if the phone has no cell service but can use free WiFi- than prior to the existence of the Internet and those devices.

There is a silent class of homeless people whom I am not clear you are including when you state "homeless", and that is people living on cars and/or "couch-surfing". On the occasion I've seen it mentioned in articles, it seems that it is nearly impossible to come up with reliable numbers on the actual population of homeless people living under such conditions due to their transitory nature.

It is likely true that the genuinely destitute homeless people, which is comprised in large part of people who suffer severe psychological and mental disorders, are only minimally aided by cell phones. I suspect the way they actually benefit is they carry on their persons a means for those trying aid them to find them as well as a life line they can tug, should they so choose.

"Inequality" is a divisive term with no genuine academic definition. Another correlation is that as "inequality" has risen, so has the greatest reduction in people living in subsistence farming and abject poverty in history of mankind, a conclusion that would suggest that "inequality" positively correlates with greater human flourishing, but the real purpose of my mentioning this is to demonstrate that "inequality" is a largely meaningless metric, by itself, used for manipulating people not familiar with broader understanding of what has occurred for so many billions of people on the planet.

I think he has mentioned that early episodes were with people not in same room.

What I have found interesting about Rogan's show is that on the rare occasion he has more of a previous generation personality as a guest, I find these personalities are about 15 minutes of interesting. It's as if this new format requires personalities of greater depth, which, somehow, feels more gratifying.

Behind all the security a Subaru station-wagon.

I'm frankly blown away that the comments I'm seeing here don't suggest to just roll your own.

$5/mo is the typical price nowadays for a 1 GB VPS with 1TB upload. Cancel at any time. Save image, redeploy monthly/weekly/daily to protect from longer term IP address tracking. Use scheme of your choice (e.g., SOCKS proxy, VPN, standard HTTP port for everything, etc.)

The bases of your claims are in court decisions. Is it correct that courts are the ones who grant powers?

The broader issue is why a federal court is interfering with municipal policies.

The Seastead Institute promotes that newly created flotillas in the open ocean create habitat that was previously non-existent.

What do you mean? My understanding is most of the problems arrive with the various Google services, but LineageOS can be installed without all that noise, or can it?

After visiting a friend of mine who was attending UC Berkeley in the 90s, I made the comment that "if you don't have an open mind, then get the fuck out of here." This current movement feels very much like an extension of what I felt there.

So why be so concerned with soldering stuff to the board? Wouldn't they just alter the die?

What about LineageOS and no gapps?

Do you use Google Drive or Docs to store anything critical?

Also, CIA installed cameras in Xerox machines:

Wow, if I am to understand this article correctly, bad actors gaining access to my hardware can do bad stuff.
