I am replying in this thread with Firefox 140.3.1 ESR. My queries are going to my router/firewall.

Verify that about:config network.trr.mode is set to 5.

If one has control over their local DNS they can also create a local record, example in Unbound DNS. Some applications will query this to see if DoH is permitted in the network.

local-zone: "use-application-dns.net." always_nxdomain

If that does not work create a startup script that will loop through all the common DoH providers and blackhole route them. Some may say that DoH could be on any CDN node but that is not the case. The DoH providers use static addresses and in some cases vanity IP addresses. [1] using this entire data-set is unnessecary as Firefox has only ever used Cloudflare and Google in the past.

for OpenRes in $(grep -Ev ^# /usr/local/etc/_open_resolvers.txt);do /sbin/ip route add blackhole "${OpenRes}" 2>/dev/null;done

If using Unbound DNS enable logging of query responses to a tmpfs mount and ensure log rotation keeps the usage small and sends the compressed rotated files to the disk. Query logs can help verify requests are being processed by local DNS.

log-queries: no log-replies: yes log-servfail: yes

Three thoughts:

- Isn’t the point of apps like TikTok that they show you content that is interesting to you? Why can’t they show politics to people who are interested but not to people who aren’t?

- Does TikTok ban all political content? Or just some? Do they ban all “non-joyful” content? Or just some?

- Might this be related to the sale of TikTok to American investors linked to Trump?

> I went to an elite school and have friends that make much less even than $150k.

They're doing so by choice to do PhDs or go into public service. They (as in, the ones in quantitative majors and many even outside of it) _also_ had the choice to make several multiples of what I made by working at Jane Street or HRT or Citadel or now OpenAI and Anthropic.

I didn't have the choice. Nobody is selecting me for anything, I don't have the optionality of doing just anything. I took the best offer I got at a company that most elite school students would consider to be beneath them (Amazon).

Anyways, I'd also bet you make multiples of what I make now too as someone with a higher level if you're an SWE or adjacent.

Holy shit, I have no skin in the game except some stablecoins/gold coins or 1$ in some cryptocurrency that's stuck lol but I still like going to r/cryptocurrency or coinmarketcap

They are both in frenzy right now.

There is literal blood on the street 25% drops lol https://coinmarketcap.com/

I have written my thoughts/article like 3-4 months about it and I also sometimes like to talk to crypto traders about it just to have some fun talking to them and trying to convince them that what they do sort of is irrational imo and seeing their responses (I mean no shade on anybody if someone's into it, I just hope that you all have safety nets please, please invest into international index funds maybe excluding US right now given its in a state of bubble-ish but please I have nothing against US)

I wanted to be a investor but I found out that sure there are people who can do this, 99% people don't need it and index funds are good enough, even for myself. I read intelligent investor just barely but I read john bogle's book (bought it) and 20 most important things something book from my school library and both of them share on how its not guaranteed and how imo index funds can be the best option for genuinely everybody

So reading that, I actually kinda shifted away from that to some other finance but then I found out that I was gonna be a beauracratic slave or take some cuts saving some rich guy some money from taxes which I think is cool but I found linux cooler :)

>“I don’t think anyone has hired more people or given more money or supported San Francisco more than I have,” Mr. Benioff said.

So that entitles you to call for an invasion of the city?

> Since the pandemic, he has mostly lived on the Big Island of Hawaii, where he has bought up numerous parcels of land.

An antisocial, entitled oligarch. Just what we need. I think at this point it's fair to say we don't really live in a democracy. The people with money can do whatever they please, while whatever value they return to society is debatable at best (Salesforce??? wtf). This system is well and truly broken.

I'm single and have 11 devices on 2.4 GHz:

Wireless temperature monitor Sync module for some Blink cameras 2 smart plugs Roomba 5 smart lights RPi 3

3 of the smart lights I currently don't need and and so aren't actually connected. That leaves 8 connected 2.4 GHz devices.

On 5 GHz I've got 16 devices:

Amazon Fire Stick iPad Printer Echo Show Apple Watch Surface Pro 4 iMac Nintendo Switch EV charger Mac Studio A smart plug Google Home Mini Echo Dot RPi 4 Kindle iPhone

The iMac and the Surface Pro 4 are almost never turned on, and the printer is also most of the time. That leaves 13 regularly connected 5 GHz devices.

That's a total of 21 devices usually connected on my WiFi, right what the article says is average. :-)

>The Nobel Peace Prize 2025 was awarded to Maria Corina Machado "for her tireless work promoting democratic rights for the people of Venezuela and for her struggle to achieve a just and peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy"

>I dedicate this prize to the suffering people of Venezuela and to President Trump for his decisive support of our cause - Maria Corina Machado

Seems to me democracy isn't her real priority or why flatter someone who tries to transition from democracy to dictatorship?

People tend to do this justification behavior where they claim their dopamine hits are good for them/their health/society, when in actuality it's detrimental.

Almost no political junkie I know has changed their view on Trump over the past decade. They'll spend hours a day, sometimes hours a week, focused on him, but it ends up absolutely having no positive impact on their selves or their lives (usually a large negative impact).

Then I ask them about their local politicians, where they stand on certain issues, what their record is, what's been happening with their local government - and they have absolutely no clue. They can't even recall who was running in the previous local primary, or why they voted for who they voted for.

They're wasting countless hours on Trump and national politics because it feels good. Then they won't even spend a fraction learning about things that could actually make an important difference in their voting, because it's too boring for them. Even worse, many people will try to pass off these actions as being virtuous or being informed.

> But here’s the most telling data point from the school’s National Student Clearinghouse data: Over 60% of WKU-admitted applicants who don’t attend WKY don’t enroll anywhere. Not at a competitor, not at a community college — nowhere. Colleges are still competing with one another, but increasingly, they’re competing with the labor market itself.

Labor shortages are leading to college credentials not being needed. This is objectively good (as college debt and the time opportunity cost is avoided for an unnecessary credential), and hopefully will continue as demographic dynamics continue in the US. Is it good or bad the US has many colleges that will close because they are no longer needed due to a slowly declining fertility rate? It just is.

The biggest impact to consider is the disruption to food production.

Predictable climate is key to keeping everyone fed. Random droughts, freezes, and unlivable temps will have pretty notable impacts on our ability to produce food.

Will we continue to be able to produce enough food for the world? Who knows. But that's the thing that has me most concerned. If there's a doomsday related to climate it will be that.

drawing using GL_LINES is old school fixed function pipeline and it's how modern graphics hardware works. If you want a single line, draw a small rectangle between V1 and V2 using geometry. The thickness is the distance between P1 and P2 / P3 and P4 of the rectangle. A line has no thickness as it's 1 dimensional.

Draw in screen space based on projected points in world space.

set gl_Color to your desired color vec and bam, line.

Makes sense. Economic tit for tat. Crypto is a cable for moving money out of China and Russia and back into assets in the west mainly real estate hence the huge disparity between income and housing prices post Tether

What concerns me is China can absolutely trigger a market meltdown in equities as well especially pull the rug out from entire companies with a flip of a button ex) SVB

The timing of Xi Jinping's stroke 11 days before the 4th Plenum where a new leader is supposed to be announced, massive build up of military assets around Taiwan recently is not a coincidence

My money says China is getting ready to take Taiwan but not in the way many in the West envision in their WW2 fantasy.

I sold all my stocks. We are going to see assets across the whole sector correct even gold.

Also we might be seeing the start of the end of CCP.

Nothing says the Time Exceeded packets elicited by your traceroute have to follow the same path back to you that you initiating packets followed out. It's a convenient fiction to think about IP networks acting like circuit-switched networks and in most LAN and small WAN applications they do. Mostly you can get away with thinking that way in more complex networks, too. When you end up in a situation where path asymmetry is causing you grief, thought, it's nice to have the understanding that each datagram can have a unique routing destiny.

So if Mozilla had offered to monetize by asking $299 to use the <blink> and <marquee> tags that would turn you off the rest of the browser? Or do you think you could make text blink another way?

Here's how you replace the URL without a page refresh:

function processAjaxData(response, urlPath){ document.getElementById("content").innerHTML = response.html; document.title = response.pageTitle; window.history.pushState({"html":response.html,"pageTitle":response.pageTitle},"", urlPath); }

Similar snippets for the other few and you have successfully avoided helping fund the framework!

It's interesting psychology. You can do buy now, pay later + get it later without Klarna. Just go to checkout, divide the sum by how many instalments you want to pay. Then open your banking app, setup a monthly transfer for that instalment to savings account, setup reminder in 3-6 months, then in 3-6 months just buy it. Just few more steps, but for a human it's more attractive to get item now and feel the pain later, rather than the other way around. That's how they make money.

Tangled & other folks run their own AppServers for doing Tangled views of the network. Those aren't insanely expensive by any measure.

Many of the people on Tangled especially host their own Personal Data Service themself. It's fantastically cheap.

This seems like you either don't know much or you are super super cheapening out on credit. Fear uncertainty & Doubt is a low motive.

Ok, let's say US Agricultural production drops in half - I don't mean prices double, I mean for every two tons of produce we produce today, we produce one ton in this scenario. What do you think that looks like for our country? How do you think we adjust to that? Do you think it looks like the same place that it does today? Note too that this is not an uncorrelated change - there's no "somewhere else" to get food here.

Let's say that India faces the same problem - that's a nuclear armed state. How does that play out?

Remember the power outage in Texas? By and large, that was because Texas didn't have its grid hooked up to the rest of the country - but how many different areas do you think need to be facing the same conditions before we knock out the power across a region we can't laugh at for a substantial amount of time? What happens if we have to deal with that on a regular basis?

People think "civilizational collapse" is "we're now hunter-gatherers" - typically, it means "the existing state apparatus falls apart, the wealth and health of the people diminishes significantly, and what was a previously recognizable culture and lifestyle is no more. Think "Roman Empire circa 450CE" - that's what we're facing. Yes, there will be humans in 100 years - pending that India question, of course - but that's not the victory condition here.

Who knows, but worth noting at least that China has demanded purges of negativity across the internet. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/10/08/world/asia/china-censorsh...

I don't think it's probable that that's what's going on here. But it is possible. And the overlapping concerns of state control & platform censorship seem abundantly clear.

Disruption to food production makes it more expensive. We use ~all the land to produce food not because we need to, but because that's the cheapest way.

Greenhouses can produce several orders of magnitude more food per acre than dryland mechanized farming does. (Greenhouses are just one example, there are lots of other ways to produce food more expensively). If we lose ~half of US food production capacity due to climate change we don't halve food production, we switch to more expensive production methods.

Increased food prices might collapse poor societies, but you're going to need a lot more than that to collapse rich societies.

Telnet scanning has been on a slow decline all 2025, I did see a small blip a couple weeks ago, but it's always been blippy, there's been one practically every month.

> 1. If it could be made to work in such a way that isn't invasive, it could be a boon, particularly to the most disadvantaged[0].

> 2. If all of the places that regulate it well kick it out, then they lose political capital that could constructively be used to encourage their neighbors to also regulate it[1].

I keep seeing that kind of thinking permeating tech. It is used often to hand-wave away any objections on the thesis that “well, we just have to get it right.”

Dr. Ian Malcolm is instructive here: “you were so preoccupied with whether or not you could, you never thought whether or not you should.” (Paraphrased from memory.)

And how long does it take to do that? What do our reserves look like? Where are those new greenhouses? Who pays for the food? How do we adjust our food system around that? How long does _that_ take? How many restaurants, shops, farmers go out of business? What happens to them? How does the economy shift around this? We already have people starving today, how many more do we add in this scenario?

The real insight here isn't about interoperability—it's that we've been treating identity as a data integrity problem when it's actually a semantic mapping problem. Giovanni's "F" isn't a bug, it's a feature of systems designed around Anglo naming conventions trying to force-fit multicultural reality into rigid schemas.

Even perfect APIs won't solve this. Names carry cultural context that gets lost in translation between bureaucratic systems. We need identity architectures that embrace semantic ambiguity rather than eliminate it.

What would a name system look like if it was designed for a multicultural world from the ground up?

Crypto actually has all of the same fundamental flaws the person you are replying to claims it liberates people from, they just take slightly different forms.

As you mentioned, like any currency its worth whatever people collectively believe that its worth and nothing more.

And on top of that, while it may not be tied to a singular government like the USD, it is heavily tied to being used in a place with operational telecomm and electricity infrastructure, which requires a functional societal order that the "military and economic strength" the original reply was talking about provides.

"We have more technology than ever before yet it seems like job quality and stability peaked some time ago. Why is the retirement age growing? Why is the gape between wages and productivity increasing?"

- Your first statement is some sort of nostalgia or rose colored glasses. We have hard data on this. Globally speaking, but also in America specifically, people work fewer hours for higher inflation-adjusted pay than they did 20, 50, or 100 years ago. My grandfather was born in 1926, had the exact same educational attainment as me (although he attended a much more prestigious university), and I earn more and work less than he did. I have more vacation days. I have a higher savings rate.

- To your second question, the retirement age is increasing because our demographic pyramid around the world is inverting. This a function of birth rates being below replacement for too long. It's just math. Too many old people and not enough young people. But to my previous point, the ability to plan your family like this and have fewer kids is also a result of increased wealth and opportunity (to do things other than raise children).

- Lastly, the gap between wages and productivity is increasing because wages are only indirectly a result of productivity. They are directly a result of demand for labor against the supply available. Increased productivity allows companies to have the resources to bid more, (hence why some comparable role like middle management in a tech firm pays a lot more than middle management at a grocery retailer). But I don't view this as a problem. As long as the tide is generally rising, and it is as my first paragraph explained, no one is hurt by a gap increasing. It's not a zero sum game where a winner implies a loser. But also, increased productivity results in lower prices, which is equivalent to getting a raise. The classic example are things like electronics, movies, music, travel, and food which have gotten much cheaper than they used to be. In 1950, Americans spent an average of 21% of their incomes on food. In 2025, that number is 10%. That's the equivalent of raise in that one can pay for necessities and have more spending power left over. Interestingly, the areas people complain about are mostly housing, education, and healthcare. These are three sectors that have seen zero to negative productivity increases over the past few decades. Yes, the construction sector in America is less productive than it was in 1990 per man hour of labor, and higher education is a total wreck in terms of productivity. Places like Stanford now have more administrators than students.

On iPhone, tapping an NFC tag with a URL opens a popup that allows you to navigate to that URL with a single click. If this URL is supported by an installed app, this app will handle this. For example, if you write a URL of a Spotify playlist onto your NFC tag/sticker (which you can also do from the phone via an app like NFC Tools), then bring that sticker to iPhone, it will show this as a Spotify URL, and you can tap on this notification and go to that Spotify playlist. So all you need to experiment with is a writable NFC tag and your phone, no other hardware required. I bet Android phones offer a similar experience.

You are simply wrong. Mechanical engineering majors, as an example of the most common non-CS major, don’t have any such high-paying opportunities until at least after a PhD (and even then they are lower than you are saying). Many make less than $100k out of college. Even CS majors have a hard time getting an interview at those top-paying companies.

Consider that Facebook's conclusions are why they don't have anything remotely as successful as TikTok, for engagement.

> in the best interest of the users?

I don't understand this. Is this some moral motive? TikTok is an independent for profit company that has a product with better engagement than any other in the world. Within that context, yes, it's in the best interest for the user, measured by engagement.

> IMHO the only questionable pilot decision here is to divert to Edinburgh rather than Manchester immediately.

The decision will have been made based on the forecast weather at Edinburgh prior to the flight (that is used to select a suitable alternate), and the actual reported weather at the time. Both the forecast and actual weather are precisely reported in an aviation weather language ("TAF" and "METAR") and assessed objectively. The investigation will certainly consider if the pilots erred there. Mostly likely the outcome will be that the decision was the correct one given the weather information they had available to them - this is what has been found in similar previous incidents.

Trump claims that China has practically approved the deal, but as of Oct 10th we again have a 100% tariff threat on China and no confirmed Chinese approval:

https://www.nbcnews.com/business/economy/trump-threatens-chi...

With Trump flooding the zone, this news was difficult to find. Much of the press just reported that the deal is practically sealed, which he (probably falsely) bragged about on Truth Social.

So the ICE censorship appears to be still done by Chinese algorithms, perhaps to soften up trade relations or because their algorithms are tuned to censor videos of persons in military gear beating down a citizen anyway.
