  • Depends, the EU seems to actually have a decently prepared system, using zero knowledge proofs. If it’s that, my privacy would not be harmed, but would still prove I’m allowed to view the page.

    As for the situation where every site needs a photo ID, I might just go live in a cabin in the woods or something

    Edit because I’m being downvoted: I do not support the idea of locking down parts of the internet behind any kind of identification. The question is “what would you do if it happened” not “how would you like to see it implemented”.






  • Not like C# is all that much better. So much garbage in the fundamentals just because it was done that way at the start and “they can’t change it now”. The best example is the IList interface.

    Theoretically this interface exposes both index-based access and collection-like modifications and as such would be perfect in a function if you need those two features on a type. In reality you can’t use it as a function parameter because half the official types implementing IList aren’t modifiable and throw a runtime error. E.g Arrays











  • You are not exactly right, but going in the right direction. Not having a forwarded port means you aren’t ‘connectable’ by peers as your firewall will block incoming traffic. What this means is that only ‘connectable’ peers will be able to connect to you (your client can reach out to them as their port is forwarded). You are however invisible to peers that also aren’t ‘connectable’. You might also experience some degradation in time to connect as people can’t reach out to you.

    To sum it up:

    • Not connectable =X= not connectable (impossible)
    • Not connectable =>= connectable (degraded time to connect when seeding)
    • Connectable === connectable (perfect)
