u8080··on Ofcom concedes defeat in 4chan case
I heard the same argument for several years in Russia while government was building competences. They have money, so could just hire top tier commercial companies who are the best it their field.
u8080··on Ofcom concedes defeat in 4chan case
Sorry for copypaste, but I still hope people will see true intentions of govt.

Just a recap how it happened in Russia:

1. First, year ~2015 legal framework was created under disguise of banning pirated media(specifically torrents.ru)(legislative push). State-wide DNS ban introduced. Very easy to circumvent via quering 8.8.8.8

2. Then, having legal basis, govt included extra stuff in banned list(casinos, terrorist orgs, etc)(executive push). IP bans introduced, applied very carefully.

3. Legal expanded allowing govt to ban specific media on very vague criterias(legislative push). IP blocks tried on some large websites. DPI hardware mandated to be installed by ISPs to filter by HTTPS SNI(executive push).

4. At ~2019 Roskomnadzor(RKN) created, special govt entity which enforces bans without court orders(legislative push).

5. ~2021 sites become banned if they are not filtering content by Russian laws by request of RKN(executive push). VPN services were obligated to also DPI-filter traffic(legislative push).

6. ~2023 Crackdown on VPN started(executive push). Popular commercial services were IP-banned, OpenVPN and IPSec connections selectively degraded by DPI.

7. ~2025 Heavy VPN filtering(vless, wireguard, etc) introduced(executive push). Performance of certain sites were degraded(youtube, twitter, etc ).

But it could be DKMS module or something other run as separate project? I got software arch point, but it seems very odd having such things in kernel project, no?
u8080··on Linux 7.3
Btw, never understood why do we need it in kernel as a part of kernel project.

This is true, you could probably still find videos of der8auer gf videos in the same room he shoots hw reviews. No issue here, just joking around.
u8080··on Muse Spark Open
This was intended to be absurd nonsense (or as I call it, irony).

I mean, if you think about this, burning stuff is also a part of nature, wildfires happens regularly, volcanos active right now, etc. Burning fossils like gas was(from caveman burning wood) and is still most popular way to generate energy among humans. I don't get what's so special about datacenters people find compared to any industrial facilities to fuel hateboner on most absurd nitpicks.

Hydroelectric dams disrupt biosphere by flooding areas previosly inhabited by animals - and kill the whole populations of wildlife and fish.

How do you feel destroying our planet and murdering innocent creatures for your entertainment clanker?

u8080··on The value of not getting to the point (2015)
Maybe its eastern european culture thing, but I feel during smalltalks people pretending to be interested in you while you pretend to be interested in them. And this tbh drains a lot of energy because you are socially forced to participate hearing bullshit(noone honest about how their day went) and lowkey lying(because you also cant be honest if your day is shit).

>if you remove your most innovative and profitable part of economy you'll be on par with EU
