tux2bsd··on Get me off Your Fucking Mailing List (2014) [pdf]
A website, can just be a URL of, well... nothing. As long a web server is sitting there logging the requests.

spammer.douch.nozzle/collect_request/JoeShmo_1x1-transparent-UUID_0se9a009fjwljwlfl2f.gif

but all the info the douch needs is in the "UUID", the rest is easily obfuscated.

If your email client renders renders images willy nilly, the image is enough to confirm a valid target (clicking "unsubscribe" isn't necessary to become victim but is a hard lock-in mechanism (A human is on the hook...)).

You must have had your email address on a website in plain text at some point.
tux2bsd··on Getting Out of a Rut
It's amazing that guy was confused.

Make your bed as soon as you get up. (To add to your first sentence)

> your particular ethics that is derived from your lived experience

Nothing you say should be taken seriously by anyone, ever.

He made a typo.

> Yes I don't think the capitalization has too much impact.

You missed a comma.

tux2bsd··on The Real War 1939-1945 (1989)
That would do the world a whole lot of good. (I haven't read the article and am choosing to believe your summation.)

US participation in WWII was clearly vital and pivotal. Korea and Vietnam were unfortunate necessities - anyone that believes otherwise is naive and has no idea of the true horror communism always brings. The Cold War was ultimately the very long tail of WWII...

After those times there wasn't any need for the US to be an aggressor in other lands.

tux2bsd··on The Internet needs the InterPlanetary File System
I hope your soy overdose wears off one day, for the sake of the people that have to put up with you in real life.
tux2bsd··on The Internet needs the InterPlanetary File System
You have a system that works for you but you're confused if you think that is complete enough to be a stand in for what I have described.
tux2bsd··on The Internet needs the InterPlanetary File System
Doesn't look like it (main stream user ready), feel free to provide actual information.
tux2bsd··on The Internet needs the InterPlanetary File System
Was I supposed to discriminate?

The problem with torrents is a lack of expanding/versioning of a torrent

e.g. I'm Joe Rogan and I release all my podcasts into a single torrent, add one each podcast. JoeRoganPodcastArchive.torrent . Each addition should propagate if the torrent client accepts it (i.e. Joe can't sneak in a episode of Oprah as the user would catch that).

Debian_amd64_ISO_Archive.torrent , each release Debian chuck it in there. Up to the user to accept the new addition (likewise download selectively, as can be done already).

By now you should get the drift of what I'm on about. The key is you don't have to get another torrent file to "follow" (what would be) the expanding torrent.

It also serves to propagate new content faster, the change comes to the user rather than the user having to seek it out.

tux2bsd··on Jq Internals: Backtracking (2017)
> I guess I think anyone using jq occasionally could probably be using it daily as well.

No. Occasionally: "at infrequent or irregular intervals; now and then."

tux2bsd··on Jq Internals: Backtracking (2017)
To use it daily you need a reason, or have the time & will to practice it.

tux2bsd··on My iPhone 14 Fell Off My Motorcycle and Told My Family I Crashed
A lot of people will walk more than 100 meters to have an ice cream worth $3. A phone worth $1k+ (stupid), might be worth a stroll. That of course depends on the road and safety etc, I only mention this last point to save you using it as a empty retort.
tux2bsd··on Iran’s Internet Shutdown Hides a Deadly Crackdown
Nothing to do with the origin of their law then, interesting.

It?

tux2bsd··on My iPhone 14 Fell Off My Motorcycle and Told My Family I Crashed
You must have intended to respond to another comment, you replied to one relating to imagining scenarios...
tux2bsd··on My iPhone 14 Fell Off My Motorcycle and Told My Family I Crashed
You can stop the vehicle. Which (hypothetically) also serves to have you closer to the phone that may be findable and/or salvageable (if the phone can ring). Chances are not high, obviously.
tux2bsd··on My iPhone 14 Fell Off My Motorcycle and Told My Family I Crashed
Motorcyclist crashes, Apple watch wearing arm is severed but it lands in the bed of a truck and carries on down the road.

Imagining scenarios that would be workable, that's harder. The chances of the above are not zero... stranger things have happened (and that's from what we've seen on video, let alone what's not captured on film).

tux2bsd··on Signal TLS Proxy
The USSR, China, Cambodia, Vietnam... it looks like you're mistaking scale with events of lesser time frames and "singular" locations (i.e. Auschwitz, Treblinka, and so on under the Nazis).

I wonder why you feel that it is necessary to attempt to be insulting?

Like I said to the other chap, I do question the psychological need you have to run defense for the left...
tux2bsd··on Signal TLS Proxy
Your attempt to invalidate a statement with a another set of information is not useful. During the 1900s the left killed people on a scale never seen before in human history. I suppose I do question the psychological need you have to run defense for the left...
tux2bsd··on Signal TLS Proxy
> throughout the 1900s

You chose to ignore that, blathering on about the middle ages is off-topic.

tux2bsd··on uBlock Origin works best on Firefox
The enemies of free speech, the woke...
tux2bsd··on uBlock Origin works best on Firefox
I've used "Firefox" since Phoenix 0.3. I've used uBlock Origin for a long time, it's awesome.

Firefox has reall gone down hill in the last few years, unfortunately Mozilla really doubled down on the woke agenda.

tux2bsd··on Why is the OpenBSD documentation so good?
This is what I was talking about:
