SOPA.

Haha okay awesome.

Choose an online University, and register as a student. Don’t sign up for any classes. Totally free (maybe an application fee depending on the university you choose), and generally they give you an email when you are approved as a student.

…did…did you try running an executable on a remote seedbox, headlessly?

This is mind-blowing to me. I’ve been using them for several months now and not had a single issue yet. I feel like a dick suggesting them as a provider when people are having issues with them, but I’ve not had a single one.

This is a ping graph over an hour directly connected to my VPS with them: https://x0.at/daqx.png

The connection speed isn’t stellar by any means, certainly well below the advertised–but they’re shared VPS, so that’s really to be expected. My uptime is 38 days since I last restarted my server because of a DDoS. The benchmarks were underwhelming, but considering I’m paying like, $2-3/mo for them, I’m okay with it. I even use this server to as a reverse_proxy for Jellyfin and it works just fine, no issues whatsoever. Transferred over 260GB in the past few days alone streaming HD content.

I’m looking hard for flaws but they’re no better, but no worse than any provider I’ve ever had. 🤷‍♂️

I honestly can’t think of promises that would require more money.

There are quite literally dozens. Bringing manufacturing back to the US, eliminating income tax, eliminating tax on overtime/per diem, cut “energy prices” in half in 12 months (max of 18 months), end the Russia/Ukraine war, make in vitro fert free, end birthright citizenship, cut corporate tax rate from 21% to 15%, eliminate tax on social security, car loan interest tax deductible… The list goes on. All of this will cost quite literally trillions of dollars and none of that has anything even tangentially related to his trillion dollar plan for mass deportations.

We’re looking at the largest increase in federal spending in the history of the United States here. More than any war ever. You have to pay for it somehow.

He’s working very hard to meet his campaign promises. They were too grandeur. The government needs a massive increase in revenue to be able to meet the promises he’s made. If you sit down and think about it, this is the easiest way for the federal government to increase revenue without directly increasing taxes. Then he does wild deportations to distract everyone from what he’s doing.

All to keep the top 1%'s share of total adjusted gross income to share of total income paid at 26.3% and 45.8%. Crazy to me that the top 1% of earners cry so hard about contributing a proportional amount in taxes.

Directly from the developer:

iVentoy and Ventoy are two completely different softwares and have no shared files.

You seem to be implying that because iVentoy (which is not Ventoy) is vulnerable to this attack then that means that Ventoy is also vulnerable which is not only highly speculative, it remains to be seen.

Actually, when iVentoy boot Windows through PXE, it will boot the WinPE with test mode, so there is no need for the driver file to be signed. So httpdisk_sig.sys is actually not needed and can be removed later.

The dev goes on to explain;

the httpdisk driver will be installed only in the temporary WinPE environment (running in the RAM), not the final Windows system

The driver is singularly used in the PE environment. That’s it.

Is this a security issue? Sure. Is it as bad as everyone wants to make it out to be? Not really. From start to finish the Ventoy fever people seem to be getting by unsigned blobs is simply insane. Its a bout of hysteria and it’s not impressive at all.

In your experience, what is the best way to go about this?

RSS feeds are static files with formatted XML list items. When a feed is updated to include a new XML list item, the reader application notifies users who are subscribed that there’s been a change. There are actually no moving parts to RSS feeds, which is what makes them so popular. RSS feed applications simply loads an XML feed and counts the number of XML objects. When the application checks again, if there are new objects, then the feed has been updated and you get your little notification.

That’s it. It’s a static file (like HTML), and it works like magic. You don’t need any software or libraries to create an RSS feed over and above being able to serve static XML.

So unless you’re updating your feed several times per day, I would just do it by hand. Maybe write a little helper script to scratch out the formatted XML based on input.

Do I have to make them myself by hand and put them in an /rss/ directory in the root of my blog?

You can, but it’s really not necessary. If you check around github you can find a ton of projects that help you create RSS feeds.

Direct download is essentially dead in the US because of the relatively recent changes to file sharing laws… XDCC, Torrenting, Usenet, P2P. Choose one. HTTP warez has long gone the way of the Dodo since Warez-BB died.

I’m not saying it’s a bad thing. I’m just saying, some people might not realize that they’re still using Google.

That Tim Walz’s and AOC’s support for Israel is the single-issue that’s stopping Democrats - or at the very least Walz/AOC - from winning elections?

I mean, it’s a significant swing factor. It’s clearly not the only factor, but you have entire communities in the US not voting for candidates because of their stances on Israel. You would think this past election would be a glaringly obvious example, but I guess not.

Gallop polls suggest it’s a significant issue or voters;

Democrats’ sympathies for the Israelis dipped to 38%, while the reading for Palestinians jumped 11 points to 49% […]

About 50% of them. To imply that they’re not losing elections because of the support of Israel is supremely ignorant and stupid.

Because that download would still be illegal

Of course its still illegal. I’m not saying it’s using a seedbox makes it legal to download illegal torrents. It’s just legal in the country of your seedbox. So if your seedbox provider gets a DMCA notice, they’re going to throw it directly in the trash.

Additionally, between my seedbox and me, is encrypted. So how would anyone know what I download from my private seedbox? There’s realistically no way to get “caught.” Copyright holders pay people to monitor torrent traffic for people to prosecute and hassle–but the same isn’t true for private servers which encrypt traffic.

I still fear that mistakes may slip through

Wikipedia is moderated by real people, so this is a non-issue. The fault tolerance for Wikipedia will be the same from AI vs People because it’s moderated by the same people regardless of where the content comes from.

I also use it for this. Sometimes I can get pretty draconian with my speech, so I feed my long winded responses into AI, and pull out a more readable responses. I even have AI write pull requests sometimes. Works great.

This is true, but when you factor in only maybe 10% of people know and understand how to enable a VPN kill-switch, it doesn’t bring much comfort.

I can’t wait to ride this shit into battle.

ART OF THE DEAL, BABY.

Member when he said he’d force them to agree on something within a week or something fucking stupid?

Run a live disk. If everything runs fine, it’s not hardware. If not, then it’s very likely hardware.
