I'm not entirely sure where neonazis come into play here on the topic of human liberties like freedom of speech. Fascists on the other hand... that's the topic isn't it? By applying an amendment to freedom of speech to prevent or force any speech is authoritarian by definition.

Just so we're clear fascism definition "Fascism (/ˈfæʃɪzəm/) is a form of far-right, authoritarian ultranationalism characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition and strong regimentation of society and of the economy which came to prominence in early 20th-century Europe."

I'd prefer to speak solely on the point of human liberties.
And just so we're clear, you can see the differences of civil rights and human liberties which are naturally inherent to all people. https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/civil_liberties
"Congress shall make no law" - This is the first Amendment of your Liberties, and regardless of the reasoning, changing them will only trade 1 evil for a worse one.

The way it is now is that all may do as they wish... with lawful consequences unless protected by the your rights and liberties. To be clear what I mean is that if you cause damages and there are victims of the "crime" then you should be held accountable. The problem we are facing today is that so many people have those their integrity as to make some people regret having rights and liberties. But it's a slippery slope, imagine on the far side of the extreme where the fed comes to your home in the middle of the night with guns and cameras in tote and force you to say something against your will. That is inherently against your liberty (freedom of speech), would you give this up because someone else said something you don't like?

In my opinion all media should be completely and totally decentralized... a bit like bitcoin. What this means is that no one should be able to control media... not even the federal institutions (especially not them). Fascists and neonazis... well they can all be ousted on decentralized networks for all I care. Every news/media/message should be accountable, but should not be controlled. If someone claims or says something that causes damages it should be accounted for, but there should be no control over it from any outside force.

In China every website, every video, every message has what can be referred to as an OID, in software these can be used as public universal identifiers and can be traced back to a source. The problem with China is that their fascist federal institution will reward and pay people to report and take down any media they don't like. That's fascism. That's the exact opposite of what America should be by our constitutional rights and our inherent liberties. However! Their tracking system is astounding and could help the people take lawful retribution on any damages caused by some created content.
No way. NPR is clearly aligned with the Democrats. You have to live in a bubble not to see it.
What APs do you use with a MicroTik setup?
> I get the concern you're expressing, but not everything is a slippery slope

This won't age well.
Sure, NPR and Axios exist. I think where Matt is wrong is that Fox, Salon, MSNBC and all the like need to be gone for a while. Their impacts will always overwrite whatever great accomplishments in truth and lack of narrative the other outfits work to establish because they're just another option to the average coffee pounding conservative or liberal looking to get their ideological rocks off on their break or in the car. These are the kind of people who describe nuanced views as "both sides" or claim they're watered down versions of "the truth".
>Calling them communist is pretty hilarious even if the word is in their name

Why? China was clearly a communist project, and this is what they became. Why is the end result we see in reality less valid than the theory?
yep. From what I've seen: it's because a bunch of chess Twitch and Youtube people have been building up communities + meme-scapes around the game. QG added a bunch of new people who found the online community and got into it -- especially because with the pandemic people have been wandering the internet searching (unintentionally) for new hobbies to get invested in.
what you need to understand about the halting problem is that at is core it is an epistemological problem. An other expresion of it are Gödel's incompleteness theorems. Imagine a blank sheet of paper the area of the paper is what is knowable now start building logic as a data structure. We start with the first nodes which are the axioms now everything derived conects to other nodes etc as it expands as mold its going to cover some of the paper but wont be able to cover all. So the danger here is that computers are living on that fractal dimension and will never be able to see outside of it but us human beings have as kurt said intuition. The fact that we can find this paradoxes in logic means that our brains operate on a higher dimension and that computers will allways have blind spots.
I'm having already Unifi's AP's, the controller running in my NAS and a good switch for the current setup.

Do you have some better suggestions for the router software? I'd love to run Opnsense, but a native Wireguard client is a must, and so is a good web interface for the setup.

The main problem was that Kentucky went R+26. Throwing money at a Dem candidate who isn't Manchin, hoping to overcome that difference was an exercise in futility. You'd have better luck trying to primary him.

Sure, money can't do the impossible, but if you only need a few percentage points it's pretty likely to help
We do have VC in VR.
This was a useful comment, assuming it is true, and even though it is a "debate on definitions" quibble.
I think you misunderstand me. I was surprised that the domino effect started with Parler, but that was several days ago. Now I’m surprised that the domino effect hasn’t reached everyone they do business with.
> Twitter permanently suspended Bannon after he called for Dr Anthony Fauci to be beheaded in an episode."

Actually Bannon didn't. He used a metaphor comparing what could have happened in medieval times.
It would be very unusual for an ISP to drop idle connections. This implies all your connections are going through a layer 4 router. More likely you have a statefull firewall in the path somewhere. home router, server ISP firewall, etc...

[Edit: ] Or in this case, an ISP in Denmark that is trying to minimize ipv4 cost by using LSN (carrier grade nat) which also has many other drawbacks.

A SSH session does not generate any traffic

This does not have to be true. You can enable TCP keepalive in the server and client configuration.

Client via ~/.ssh/config:

TCPKeepAlive yes
ServerAliveInterval 60
ServerAliveCountMax 2

Server via /etc/ssh/sshd_config:

TCPKeepAlive yes
ClientAliveInterval 60
ClientAliveCountMax 2

Why are the TCP keepalives only sent after 2 hours?

Each OS has a default time set for keepalives. If you do not specify it in the ssh config, it will use the OS default. In Linux, you can set this in /etc/sysctl.conf:

net.ipv4.tcp_keepalive_time = 60
net.ipv4.tcp_keepalive_intvl = 60
net.ipv4.tcp_keepalive_probes = 2

After adding this, run sysctl -e -p

You can see the timers on your established connections with:

ss -emoian | grep tim

Note: TCP timers are not the same as ssh client and sshd server tcp keepalive packets. These are two distinctly different mechanisms that can accomplish the same thing. Not all applications support TCP socket keepalive. You can wrap applications with a library called libkeepalived to add support without code changes by using LD_PRELOAD.

In Windows this is set in the registry [1] On mac this is set via sysctl similar to Linux.

After you have adjusted your client and server config, restarted sshd on the server, then ssh to your server using the flag -vv and you will see the keepalive packets.

> My message history is extremely precious to me and Telegram does an admirable job protecting it

How would you know without E2EE? A Telegram sysadmin could copy all your messages from non-secret chats and you would never know.

The lack of E2EE is also why many (including security experts) recommend WhatsApp over Telegram.
how many contacts with how many devices do you have there?

can't be many
Reminds me of a restaurant in Goa, India, which proudly advertises: "Vegetables are cleaned with clean water before use!"
Greenwald's the only for-sure other. Yascha Mounk also seems to have his head screwed on straight but isn't a journalist per se. I was hoping Isaac Saul was another diamond in the rough but he ended up going off the deep end, as so many others have.
> First of all, sad to see you start your post with that Trump-disavowment, it makes me wonder whatever happened with the willingness to defend other's right to free speech no matter whether the defender agrees with that speech or not.

Mostly I just wanted people to stay calm and focused on the technical question rather than go wild because they think I’m a truly supporter and can’t look past that. I agree that my question should be able to stand alone but I think it would not have worked well in this case. As it is, this popular post has been flagged and buried so oh well.
This is all fine and good - but the previous governments 'changing of the law' governing Judicial appointments, and then controversially 'stacking the court' to 14 out of 15 appointments in their favour, is clearly the first salvo in a constitutional war.

There is no doubt.

It doesn't matter that 'we don't like the jerks in charge' or that 'they've done bad stuff' - the fact is the crisis was obviously initiated before they came to power.

Much like pretty much everyone here hates Trump (I certainly do), but he was unfairly castigated in the press with the 'Mueller investigations' which de-facto absolved him of any Russian shenanigans. It doesn't matter that he lies about election results - he was not colluding with Russians.

If either side in in the US tried to pull what the previous Polish government did - it would set off major events, possibly conflict, worse than what we're seeing today for sure.
No, Durav made a post about this recently but it was on his Telegram channel. Basically they don't have servers in Russia and it has been banned there in the past.
lol you’re the one spreading misinformation now. 2/3 of millennials have heard of auschwitz. you just made that stat up or are citing a false report with questions that don’t explicitly ask that. you should be banned for fake news under your own system.

Magical?
It's the perfect setup going extreme to one or the other side, and peoples are happy because they think it's the right way to go....truly sad.
I suppose it depends but its highly likely as blue states tend to be thoroughly blue. As long as were taking about hypotheticals, what would have happened if they killed the president and VP when they stormed the white house? Nancy Pelosi is 3rd in line right?

afavour: This is a perfect example of the information void between the two sides or selective memory. During the summer riots the white house was stormed with people trying to get past the gates. The secret service moved the pres to a bunker.
They were for a bit but they've defederated and the software is a huge mess. There are right wing free speech instances but they don't have any of the media attention.
Lots of people were wary of the GDPR. But "don't track our population" is streets ahead of "don't moderate content"

To be clear I'm not too worried about this. It seems like unenforceable policy
Boring. Facebook has been used for every type of communication, whether it's inciting violence or sharing cat pictures with grandma, by almost every internet-connected human.
You don't. The docker appliance (or whatever platform you use to run the controller) only is needed for config changes. You can shut it down when finished making changes and everything runs fine. The install at my mom's house has the Windows controller, and I don't think it's run in 6 months.
Some clarification here.

Back in 2018, Brave gave tokens from our own UGP (User Growth Pool) to users. These tokens could then be directed to websites, YouTube channels, and more. If the intended recipient wasn't verified, the tokens would go into a settlement wallet. But note, the tokens people were sending were almost entirely those which they first received from Brave (it was not yet possible to earn rewards at that time). So users were getting tokens from Brave, then earmarking those tokens for content creators.

Why let pesky 'courts' and 'due process' get in the way of efficient ruling by capitalism and mega-corporations?
Depends on the architecture. Windows on Itanium runs with 8KB pages for example, but that's the exception that confirms the rule.
Do people in Holland protest when their government tries to shift some bureaucratic burden to the citizens, when it was previously on the professionals paid by the citizens' money? Well, Polish people seemingly do mind.

I got a ticket, I'm sure I'm innocent:

You talk a lot about theoretical outcomes, but isn’t it reasonable to look at what different systems result in empirically? Which of the aforementioned countries had a violent assault on their seat of government in recent times? Does that support your argument, or maybe there are virtues to those alternative legal frameworks?
Is this gamma squeeze what's happening to TWTR today? It looked like options were buoying it up after a massive dive on opening. If that's the game, it gives everyone more time to get short past this news cycle.
It's a simple calculation. How much energy costs do I save compared to keeping the old one. Also I wouldn't expect any "modern" appliance to last more than 5 years.
I don't need many ethernet ports so it works for me. My home network speed is less than a gigabit.

It's definitely not for people like OP but may work for other people who don't want to pay much and still have something decent that they can hack themselves.

I have tried to flash open firmware on my router before but it didn't work out. I had a raspberry pi already so I decided to convert it into a router and use it.
The issue is we're already doing too much chasing down individual "bad actors." It's like the #1 hobby these days, everyone is looking for the next person to step out of line so they can drag them into the village square for their stoning. There aren't enough "bad actors" to satiate the mob any more so the definition of "bad actor" has to be continually expanded by the day.

Just the last week a musician tweeted something dumb about making his daughter learn how to use a can opener to open beans, and within a day, the very successful podcast he did the theme song for, where his track was used for the past like 10 years disowned him and stopped using the song. Then he was kicked off the cruise gathering where he was good friends with the guy who ran it and has been a regular headliner for years.

The internet has created a culture problem that I'm not convinced decentralized social networks will fix. At best, if one was created that people actually used, we wouldn't have situations we've seen with Alex Jones and Trump where all the platforms unperson someone on the same day, cause they could still at least keep their audience on the decentralized platform.
He can just call traditional media (like FOX news) and talk to them on camera
Edit now that you’ve changed the structure of your commend entirely: you’re just engaging in whataboutism now. You said that killing a senator could not change the balance of power. I explained that it was in fact quite possible, then you started discussing the protests that occurred over the summer (and the White House absolutely was not “stormed”, for what it’s worth!)
Which was done by a "Boogalo Boi", not an antifa or BLM.

The idea that client A has its identity authenticated by service B, and that service B checks that client A is authorized to access some endpoint, does not solve the problem of B accessing content on behalf of A that user U should not get to see.

The way Google does mutual authentication between services (which, I reiterate, does not address this problem) is described in great detail at https://cloud.google.com/security/encryption-in-transit/appl...
Ok. Why? I have one and it's great.
Is Trump Still in Control?
You responded to a comment about Parler's legal counsel dropping them and equated it to Civil Death.

Parler is a business, not a person.
I’m wondering — this has been downvoted, but the replies all seem to agree that the comment is true/reasonable. Am I misunderstanding the comments, or are there other thoughts on why this is an objectionable observation?
> This drops Signal out which has a limit of 150 on groups

Your own link mentions "Size limit of 1000", where did you see 150?

To be fair that's for new groups, maybe the limit used to be lower. Or do you mean that in practice it's not usable beyond 150 people?
I just glanced at Ben Norton's feed which I've never read before, and "The world's largest systematic violator of human rights (by far), the US government" doesn't exactly leave a glaringly good first impression of dispassionate analysis.

Both Taibbi and Greenwald have disgraced and discredited themselves in the Trump era by publishing a parade of disingenuous nonsense, carrying water for Putin and Trump, and slandering truth tellers. It has been sad to watch them slide so far.

There is a reason that both are now self publishing their punditry without editors or fact checkers. I wouldn't really even call it journalism anymore. Neither can still be compared to Ronan Farrow, who is meticulously honest.
For human-recognisable values of "resources."

I realise that all of these arguments come down to "AI of the gaps". But in true Dunning-Kruger style, we don't know what we don't know - not just about AGI, but intelligence of any kind, including our own.
Because USians care much more about what happens in the US than in Myanmar.
A co-worker of mine that isn't known for playing video games says he's been playing a crap ton of it, on the XBox though. I don't know if the game was supposedly worse off on PS5.
Wish they would roll Wireguard up into the firmware distribution for the edgrouter-x.
Sadly RouterOS isn’t open source. They’ve received a bit of flak for their “available on request” stance on getting GPL sources too. The fact that their GPL patches aren’t readily available is pretty uncool.

WireGuard isn’t supported on RouterOS 6, which is the current stable version, afaik. RouterOS 7 (currently available in beta) did support for WG in August though, as part of 7.1beta2 [1].

I remember walking out of your apartment complex for the first time, and being really amazed at the number of NPCs walking and driving around. It's the first game I've played that actually made me feel like I was in a major city.
Of what NPR pretends to be. Maybe was, I don’t know I only got to the US in ‘07.

I remember how furious my professor was at Terry Gross for her (in his opinion rude) interview w/ Jimmy Carter. He otherwise loves Terry Gross.

But he’s a “liberal”, so he likes NPR. NPR is pretty brutal if you disagree with them and are well informed about a topic.

I had to stop listening to NPR years before Trump came along (yes, there was polarization back then) because they’d make my blood boil with, what I thought, has thinly veiled partisanship.

Some of their reporting is just grossly wrong. If they report on anything about Christianity it’s usually riddled with embarrassingly wrong statements.

And then there’s three editorial discussions. I’m an immigrant, and I’m embarrassed with NPRs obsessions with telling me how other people outside the US live. A little bit of it is very important, but after listening to NPR for about ten years I’ve learned nothing about the famous “meat and potatoe” Americans. My dad, who traveled to the Midwest for work for a couple decades taught me more about “fly-over” Americans.
Neutrality is implausible. What matters is honesty. Sometimes I will find a political article written by somebody whose views I disagree with but the author attempts to be thorough, doesn't reason backward from their conclusion and tries to account for their own biases and limitations. It's frankly heart warming what that happens.

Most of the news that seems to gain popularity on social networks is not that though. It's not really news, it's pandering and it's reinforced by the echo-chamber nature of said social networks.

I'm lucky enough to be able to read several languages and I found that the best way to find consistently decent news coverage is simply to look for it on the outside. See how the Russians or Brasilians report the Capitol riots. See what the Ukrainians have to say about the British elections. Of course these news outlets are not without their own biases, but at least they tend to be less emotionally involved and don't have a horse in the race, which in my experience leads to more factual reports.

For instance while most European news outlets will lean anti-Trump, they are unlikely to consciously or unconsciously silence or downplay pro-Trump or anti-Democratic news simply because they don't really have any direct influence on American politics. Meanwhile a journalist at CNN or Fox News is in a different position, because their reporting will be de-facto politicized and could have direct consequences one way or an other.

Maybe you should know literally anything about the topic at hand before making sweeping assertions? I realise that's asking a lot here at HN, but it would improve the site a lot.
Just a thought....

Maybe it doesn't attract extremists. Maybe extremists just happened to randomly pick your site as the latest site to use for communication.

Just theorizing here, but assume that instead of hosting their own content, web sites with comments are hijacked to host extremists propaganda/plans/violent event, with a pointer to the next web site to use (not IF) but when the current one gets shut down.

The only way to avoid this is to moderate the comments before they are allowed to be displayed. And I'm betting there are a thousand+ web sites that are run by amateurs where this is the last thing on their minds.

Hopefully the fact that scaling and searching would be impossible makes this a non-issue.
The probability of both factions promoting bigoted/violent attitudes at precisely the same rate is, well, impossible. Inevitably there will be a higher penetration of these ideas in one side or the other.

I'm not making the claim that the balance is immutable (it's always changing), but at this moment (and for the past decade, at least) there is one side where those ideas are _far_ more widely seen as acceptable or encouraged.
I didn't say nobody coordinated. But no large number showed signs of a shared coherent plan.
