cybersecurity measures like 2fa and https enforcement end up feeling coercive, or even condescending

@CapitalB @ThatCrazyDude turns out that plowing over major parts of arable land and covering them with cheap foil isn't long term sustainable :blobcatshrug:

@scathach there is a compilation of songs called "atomic platters" which might interest you ;)

@sun did you use any filters?

i have a suspicion that "place japan" is due to the color composition

@nicemicro yet, if i were to base64 encode a movie and upload it, i would be in jail even when the decoding is done by others.

either copyright is bullshit or AI is infringing.

The very interesting thing I've realized during the last days of people attacking me for that "controversial" blog post was that they attacked me directly.

They try to discredit me and not argue against what I was saying. Either it's me being a fascist or that these things I said is fascist reasoning. But any real arguments against my statements? Still missing.

This is the "ad hominem fallacy". Instead of arguing against a statement itself, you try to discredit the person.

@zynikusmaximus darfst dich trotzdem für königin ursula an der ostfront verheizen lassen!

Today's real champion is this one. One of my PC Engines APU devices - I don’t remember the exact year I bought it, probably 2017.

It worked at my home as a router/firewall with OPNsense for several months, then in 2018 I installed it at a client’s site, "as a temporary emergency solution". Still running OPNsense, always kept updated, and it hasn’t missed a bit since then.

During a severe thunderstorm, the access point and switch connected to it were fried, but it kept going - silently and reliably. Zerotier, Wireguard, port forwarding, bandwidth graphs - all handled in a hot office, often with the air conditioning turned off during holidays.

It did everything, and it still works.

The client moved to a new location this morning, and the APU was replaced with a more powerful device (in anticipation of a future Internet upgrade). I decided to take it back with me (technically, it’s still mine) - they couldn’t find the power adapter, probably still packed in boxes, but up until 07:30 this morning (the last time I connected to the server behind it via VPN), it was perfectly reliable.

I’ll probably keep using it - I have others - maybe in the office as a file server with two attached drives.

Honor to the device, honor to OPNsense, honor to FreeBSD.

Asylklagewelle: Gerichte vor dem Kollaps journalistenwatch.com/2025/06/ Die wahnhaft zugelassene Massenmigration hinterlässt in der Verwaltung deutliche Spuren. Die Klagewelle von abgelehnten Asylbewerbern, die auf Deutschlands Verwaltungsgerichte zurollt, wird immer größer. Richter warnen vor einem Kollaps. Da die Ampel entschieden hatte, jedem Asylbewerber einen Anwalt auf Steuerzahlerkosten zu stellen, waren die Konsequenzen klar:
