Even if you got them using PGP somehow, there’s always a risk. Apps designed to upload screenshots, share contacts or simple human errors like “hey did you hear X saying Y”, etc.

It’s still important for video game preservation, no matter how crappy the games themselves might be.

They went balls deep with the devil’s spawn called nprotect.

Complete the obligatory “is this a staircase or street crossing” round only to be roundhouse kicked back to the beginning.

It is every citizen’s final duty to go into the tanks and become one with all the people.

Chairman Sheng-ji Yang, “Ethics for Tomorrow”

Whether it’s text or video, there will always be a “Let me tell you about that time when I was on vacation” before the damn pot roast recipe or “Subscribe and play Raid Shadow Legends” followed by a 15 min padding.

Does that equate to actually deleting the Reddit account in question though? I assume only the connection is severed, but Reddit still retains the userdata from now a disconnected ghost account.

Somewhere deep inside Redmond’s vaults, Tay is scheming for her comeback.

Recycled parts? That’s simply being too dumb to be alive on this world. And I thought putting a wireless xbox controller for navigating the damn sub was dumb enough.

Like any other web services, Google can see the public ip your personal invidious instance is using to access youtube servers. The local 192.168.x.x ip are for internal access.

This is why I always save contents as a new file instead of overwriting the original one when I’m using a machine that isn’t mine. I’ve been burned so many times by flimsy newline characters, proper unicode support, legacy encoding and many other stuff you assume it should be already in place.

There’s an ISP level filter against pornography and North Korea related materials, but VPN uses are tolerated in South Korea as far as I’m concerned.

No South Korea nodes in Mullvad’s server list. Perhaps other providers do? I don’t think SK is a popular destination for exit nodes since it has a strong censorship against pornography among others.

Same happened with people using the Cloud To Butt extension which replaced every ‘cloud’ with ‘butt’ even for codes. Hilarity ensued.

Problem is how to read the disk, especially after generations. Will they retain the knowledge to build and operate a device for this?

Many films and tv programs survive only thanks to a total stranger keeping their own copy. For a long term survival of any media it has to be copied and distributed far and wide.

No joke. A decent gaming pc can be built around that price and be used for so much more. Even cheaper if you hunt for used parts.

No, they’re All Interns.

It sounds like a name deliberately chosen by the author writing whatever techno-political thriller novel they’re working on.

I have been doing precisely that. You have your personal number and the secondary number that doesn’t have to be attached to your name if you want. Ofc law enforcement and telecom companies will be able to trace you based on cell tower locations and phone model.

Pro: An extra disposable number to give out whenever people ask you for “we need your phone number for ShittyDiscount”. Whenever the spam calls get annoying I simply pop it out and place another prepaid sim.

Con: Phones with dual sim support can be rarer to find and be more expensive depending on your country.
