@7 it feels like civilisation is overextended and needs a hibernation period to consolidate

@7 your last describes a lot of countries today

@vriska I have work in the morning so I feel robbed

I'm thinking tonight I might stream hitman but I drink every time I fuck up how do we feel about this idea

@7 I'm thinking the geopolitical equivalent of fuck you money, not a stated position of being self sufficient and not trading on principle

@7 how do you define autarky? I'm might be throwing that word around too loosely

@7 tbf America is still perfectly capable of peacefully autarky, wild really

@7 that's kinda the point right, we don't want to give you cheap energy if you treat us as a pariah

if any country is well positioned for autarky it's Russia, I'd argue it's only a dirty word if you need to conquer other countries in order to provide for that autarky

fate has a sense of irony, no doubt

@Moon I would probably buy a Sam Hyde NFT if it wasn't outrageously expensive

@11112011 bro it's futures, speculation by definition

@jwildeboer note how people who post bullshit like this have me blocked

hey friends,

i spent the day evaluating options and ive come to the plan we will be using going forward for dealing with the cloudflare question

the reason ddos and deplatforming as a whole is effective is because there exist single points of failure – the dns or ddos provider, the upstream, there’s all kinds of people to exist

the cloudflare question was presented today in where cloudflare 3 days ago said they were going to protect kiwifarms because they “had an obligation” and then today (last night) cloudflare CEO walked back his comment and blocked (the first of this ever happening in cloudflare’s existence) by modifying the users DNS record to point at their PR hitpiece about kiwifarms.

not only is this a violation of privacy but they fucking stole kiwifarms domain to point to their own PR piece which i believe is illegal in just about every country

poast, fse and anyone else who wants to help contribute is working to eliminate this starting monday by working on a DNS solution that is distributed. the end user, server owner or otherwise will download and install the software and that persons machine will be included in the array. DNS lookups will be performed by thousands of nodes in real time with 0 TTL. amplification attacks will cease to exist because there is no single endpoint.

poast is now accepting donations for this project, give.poast.org and poa.st/donate/crypto

@thatguyoverthere @dave @threalist
one can credit large scale map painting when everyone agrees (Russia controls Donbas etc.) and read between the lines to interpret a certain degree of strategy - the narrative one tries to communicate reveals intention

beyond that I don't believe a word of either side

@11112011 cigarette on the 18th floor

@root most successful de-radicalization campaigns i've seen tends to be when upstanding citizens have personal engagements with people or are engaged in trade with those population segments and the general lack of their fears being realized erodes the problem slowly.

there was some black person who deradicalized something like 200 members of racist organizations by basically drinking beer and playing guitar with people.

all this did was prove people are indeed stupid for helping cloudflare be a massive data gathering operation and that twitter cancel squads are still around.

@dave @threalist how do you guarantee that the strikes are happening at that time and that the metadata isn't being changed?

when I searched osint the main page I found read like a CIA clearing house of propaganda pieces

more information =\= more knowledge

Journalists lied then and they lie now. Nothing has changed.

..or should we ask the Ghost of Kiev what he thinks of it?
