I think NAT is one reason why the internet is so centralized. If everyone had a static IP you could do all sorts of decentralized cool stuff.

And what would they gain by attacking us with drones?

I’ve not heard a good explanation why they would.

They used up their tanks, artillery and manpower in Ukraine. They haven’t even won in Ukraine. What would they gain by attacking the west?

Its not about giving people resources, merely estimating what it would take for everyone to meet DLS requirements if they live where they currently live.

They talk about it in the PDF. Basically its a weighted average. Some people live in colder climates and need more heating/clothes, others need less. It then averages out to those numbers.

Yeah but DLS would be a significant downgrade for many people, who already fight the suggestion to only eat meat six days a week tooth and nail.

Things that count as DLS:

• 10 m² of personal living space + 20 m² for every 4 ppl as bathroom / kitchen
• 2100 kcal/day
• 1400 kWh/year, but this already includes public services (education/healthcare)
• 1 washing machine per 20 ppl
• 2.4 kg clothing / year
• wear tops for three days and bottoms for 15 days without washing
• 1 laptop per 4 people with a yearly power consumption of 62 kWh. (bizzarely they talk about an 800 MHz computer and seem to confuse HDD and RAM). If your gaming computer used 400 W you could use it for 150 hr/year.

Who says the authoritative servers aren’t logging requests?

That should only happen with SNI, no?

The queries are known to the DNS provider. Only thing is to use one you trust.

The only thing you gain from VPN is that the target server does not know your IP.

HTTPS is safe anyway and as such also the content of what you do.

The only other way you may leak information are DNS queries.

Everything but accept that they were wrong about climate change.

Its wild mustard all the way down.

Even in death I serve the Omnissiah.

Seeing forced AI in any product makes me stop using it immediately.

Very large parts of the Internet run on Linux. Its already a very juicy target.

Me: I need an AC unit

Mitsubishi: sure!

Me: I would also like an orbital launch system, a forklift, a cruise ship, a main battle tank, an air superiority fighter and a nuclear power plant

Mitsubishi: ur not gonna believe this…

It already comes with many distros and I can’t live without ll="ls -la"

Yeah that’s really the biggest issue with these deployments.
