  • I like my tempest. https://shop.tempest.earth/products/tempest

    3d printed bracket screwed into my block wall fence. And some pvc pipe. Comes with a pipe bracket and the tempest just sits right on top of it. Isn’t a bulky eyesore to piss off the neighbors (I live in an HOA). Haven’t had any issues with it in HA since I bought it in 2023

    And it’s an offline integration too… The station broadcasts and HA can grab it with the weatherflow integration. If you let it reach the internet though, it can feed the big maps… and you can see all sorts of info on that map.

    Edit: Here’s a screenshot of everything that’s exposed as far as sensors go…

    Well I can see this in 2 ways from her video alone.

    1. We don’t see what came up before the video started rolling. If the dude was following her around for a bit (thus giving her time to actually pull out the phone and start recording) this could actually be warranted. She still looks stupid for posting this without the context prior because the video in of itself doesn’t favor her IMO… But it could make sense on why someone who is magically concerned with what town halls she’ll be participating in (a google search away, or call her office rather than harassing her directly) would actually approach her, identify her, engage her in questions, start talking about town halls (why would this just come out without any context?), then continuously repeat the question after the video started rolling? She still looks bad for talking shit to a (presumably) constituent… but this could be deep in the “creep” territory.

    2. She’s straight up looney tunes and there is no relevant context… She’s off her rocker and talks bad about her people to their face for asking simple questions even though she’s “off hours” while shopping, even though this is bad form on the guys part. Which will hopefully get her fired. Without some additional context, this is the only sane take to have only watching this video though, which is how she posted it.

    Now, it turns out that there is more context as the guy was recording the “full conversation” which is odd. He clearly ambushed her with the question and was recording the whole thing from start to end which shows some intent. https://x.com/i/status/1913710641438675421

    Unknown: Of course! (there was another person that was kind of in frame, no idea who said “of course” or what they said it about)
    Him: Nancy?
    Nancy: Yes.
    Him: When are you going to host a real town hall for the people?
    Nancy: Did you miss the 15 I had last year?
    Him: That wasn’t a town … When are you going to host one this year?
    Nancy: I’ve already had one and I’ll have a dozen more.
    Him: The town hall you hosted this year was not a town hall. Let’s be real.
    Nancy: Uhh, (starts grabbing phone to start recording, likely realizing that he’s recording at this point) it was a town hall and I do them every year.
    <The twitter video linked from Nancy starts>

    Now… we don’t know how long he was following her, but clearly long enough that he thought he should start to record the whole interaction before he even “knew” it was her which is pretty shady. He even preloaded the response to “I’ve already had one this year” and started to say it when it wasn’t a valid answer to her response. “That wasn’t a town [hall]” is not really a valid answer to “did you miss the 15 I had last year”. He was expecting her to talk about the “last” town hall and whiffed the response, we even see him break it out again when she finally does bring up the most recent town hall.

    Now I think her response was still bad. Her video definitely doesn’t paint her in good light. However, she likely picked up on his intent… likely caught him following her already, and he was likely putting up some body language that would have helped identify his intent that we can’t see on his view. Then the pointed questions, preloaded responses, and general hostile question/response with “that was not a town hall”… He wasn’t “just asking a question”, which is what people hide behind in these situations. He was pushing an agenda which is clear by his line of questioning, he was clearly following her (had already identified her as he decided he should be recording), and ambushed her while she’s trying to pick out shampoo at a store. He’s clearly and strongly in the wrong.

    Now having said all that… She’s just a fucking moron. This still makes her look like shit even though he’s clearly antagonizing it. She could have had even an ounce of tact and respect for the man and instead of going on this whole tirade, simply stated “Well I’ve answered your question, I’ll have probably a dozen more town halls this year and you can contact my office to get the specific dates… Can I get back to my shopping so I can go home and feed my kids?”. That would have outright made him to look like the lunatic he was, and not made her look like a complete jackass. Instead she ramped up 10000% the moment she had her phone out and that gave her literally no context for her video outside of “I’m an asshole”. But alas, both sides (gasp, yes! BOTH SIDES!) are lunatics it seems. And I’ll be down-voted for saying it.

    Edit: Oh, and to be clear… I have no fucking clue who this is prior to this video. I’m only just learning that she’s a rep from South Carolina?

    Edit2: fixed a formatting thing I just noticed.

    Edit3: From a news article… someone else posted here.

    A day earlier, she called out “deranged town hall fakers” who were calling her office about ditching the March town hall in her district.

    So yeah… at this point I HAVE to elaborate on how squarely in the wrong he is. It’s hard to not look at him as a concerted effort to harass her, asking that question in the way that he asked it just after a bunch of calls to her office? What are the chances? This doesn’t excuse her behavior… but it does rationalize HOW she got to her response a bit. Still makes her look like absolute shit… too much emotion, rather than just doing the damn job with grace/dignity. But anyone who defends this man as “just asking a question” is just not looking at the facts of the situation. This was harassment, and she showed no grace in return. I’d personally want better qualities in my law makers.


  • I played ps2 heavily for a couple of years. Fun game.

    I remember organizing several squads to play tactics when the main zerg pushes were off doing random stuff. There was a lot of planning and tactics that had to happen specifically around guessing what the public players would end up naturally pushing for. Colloquially known as “the zerg”. Almost treated like a mass of self-organizing players, but in reality they were just individuals who happen to follow each other to random places.

    Eg. leadership comms would be flooded with plans of “The zerg is pushing towards Tawrich, We should send Alpha and Bravo over to Zurvan to split the TR forces (maybe recapture that) and Charlie to crown to intercept backup/vehicle spawns. Delta needs to fuck off with pulling those tanks… get in the fucking building.”



  • Right but my point is they would just submit the request to the host server. If the original is taken down then all the federated service will lose the comments as well.

    Not how federation works. Let’s take a lemmy post as an example. If a server is federated with another and a new post is made, all subscribed servers are notified and a copy of the item is sent in that notification. If the original is “taken down” the copies still exist on the other servers and any deletion event is in ALL of their modlogs. ANY instance can “undelete” or revert the removal, or just ignore the deletion request all together (or roll back the database, or any number of operations to revert a change). The items doesn’t just go away. The “origin” doesn’t have all that much power to force other listening servers to do anything.

    This also extends to comments. I run my own small instance with me and a few friends. My server never had serious downtime because it’s just us. Our access to larger instances never “vanished” even as their sites went completely down. The local content is effectively cached regardless of the state of the origin server.

    If the host server just straight up ignores turkey then they’ll block all servers that host Mastodon

    Good luck with that… There’s a lot of servers that can talk the same federation protocol. You’re not going to get them all. Forget all the normal means of bypassing blocks… you have so many fediverse and threadiverse servers to attach to in order to access largely similar content.



  • Now that I have a bit more time later in the day…

    https://privacysavvy.com/security/torrents/safest-countries-to-download-torrents-and-worsts/

    Switzerland Switzerland tops the list of the most torrent-friendly countries. Swiss law gives every citizen the right to download music, movies, books, and all types of copyrighted content as long as it’s for personal use.

    Spain Spain is almost as safe a country as Switzerland for torrenting and filesharing users. The legal precedent was set in 2006 when a judge ruled that downloading, keeping, and using copyrighted files was fine as long as no profiting was involved.

    Poland The legal status of file sharing is nowhere near as explicit in Poland as in the previous two countries. Instead, it’s more of a nobody’s land. No written law or official legal precedent refers to “personal use” as an acceptable instance of possession and use. However, there seems to be legal consent in legal opinions that point to the private use of copyrighted material as legal and acceptable.

    And this is just the EU… You think ANY African or South American government gives a flying fuck? (Really the best you’ll find is that it’s illegal on paper but there’s virtually/effectively 0 enforcement).

    You think most of Asia gives a flying fuck?

    China as mentioned before only cares if you’re stealing from within China. Russia is the same in that they don’t care about outside companies but only if you hurt another Russia/friendly company.

    To be frank, it’s only a handful of countries that actually care about international IP laws. You’re so far out in left field with your claims that it’s actually sad. It’s almost like you live in one particular country and assume the rest of the world is the exact same. When in reality the rest of the world really doesn’t care, like nearly at all.


  • There are no goalposts.

    Yes you did. You switched from “supporting” to “illegal”. Which are two separate and distinct conception. Murder is illegal… How many people around these parts support Luigi? See… two completely separate topics.

    This isn’t my opinion. It’s an incontestable fact that stealing IP is illegal in 98% of every country on this planet.

    Cool. Then next time don’t talk about “support” when you meant “legality”. And further please cite the 98% claim, as I will definitely contest it. And be careful to fall into the trap for countries that DO care about IP laws, but only within their country (China).

    There is no VPN on this planet which “supports” theft of IP.

    So you think they setup these torrent help pages and don’t expect people to use torrents in an illegal manner? Do you think that the Windscribe page wouldn’t come up in a lawsuit if they were dragged into one to put some onus on the provider themselves for supporting their users in the process of torrenting illegal content?

    You think these companies are just stupid? You think they don’t recognize that capturing this group of customers is valuable to them?

    Which is absolutely not the same and you pretending that it is, is disgusting behavior.

    I never weighed in on my thoughts on the matter at all. You have no idea if I support torrenting illegal content or not.

    Truly infantile.

    Says the person who’s failing to comprehend basic language and easy premises while claiming actual things that nobody else claimed.


  • There are currently 2-3 countries where torrenting IP isn’t illegal.

    Why are you moving goalposts? You stated originally:

    You’re going to be very hard pressed in finding a VPN that supports torrenting.

    MANY support it. Supporting something in of itself doesn’t speak to it’s legality.

    I know they’re not popular anymore, but PIA supports it, was taken to court over it, provided nothing (no log service, so couldn’t provide anything) and walked away clean. You don’t get that if what they were doing was illegal. And if they thought the risk actually mattered, they would have changed their policy to keep their company alive. But they didn’t. So they support it (about as much as anyone would care to support it) and have been tested by courts.

    The sad part is… if you had read the OP, you could have done 3 seconds of research and found https://windscribe.com/knowledge-base/articles/using-windscribe-with-torrent-clients/… Which is literally the VPN service being discussed EXPLICITLY talking about configuring torrent clients. Wouldn’t creating pages to support users who are looking for configuration for this “illegal” thing be direct evidence that you’re full of shit?

    I absolutely fucking beg you to stop embarrassing the dictionary by learning and using words correctly, and to stick to the topic that you literally brought up.

    Nope, it wasn’t… Even then though, the game is old enough that we can no longer assume that people have even played the game anymore. Kids are using the internet that would have been born after FO:NV. There are likely some 20 year olds on this site that have never played it because they would have been too young.




  • I was going to leave this alone… your original comment was correct enough that it wouldn’t matter and your “dedicated attacker” left it fine when i read it before.

    but your edit has a gaping flaw. you assume that all content in the library would be physically released. lots of shows and movies are not physically released now. Can’t claim “backup” for those. The moment a movie studio finds your stuff and can map a few titles and one of them never had a physical release… your in the shit.

    but yes you can be much harder to scan overall with a few steps. fail2ban is a great answer that makes it deeply unlikely to be an issue.

    but i wish that they’d just fix it.

    edit: OR that they wouldn’t try to go after you for distribution…


  • All of these “vulnerabilities”, require already having knowledge of the ItemIDs, and anyone without it poking around will get banned.

    Which are simply MD5 hashes… You can precompile (rainbow tables) those. The “knowledge” here to get a valid video stream is “What path is the file on” which is pretty standardized. This is a good way to have a major movie studio’s process server knocking on your door.
