Nope. I don’t talk about myself like that.

  • 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.

    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.






  • Bush also brought the PATRIOT act to open a lot of authoritarian doors.

    What sort of history revisionism are you peddling here? The Patriot act was bipartisan. We have records of the votes. like 75% of dems approved it. And 98-1-1 in the senate… https://www.justice.gov/archive/ll/subs/detailed_vote_2001.htm

    Hell if we’re making this partisan, the republicans have a better claim that they’re trying to end it…

    In November 2019, the House approved a three-month extension of the Patriot Act which would have expired on December 15, 2019. It was included as part of a bigger stop-gap spending bill aimed at preventing government shutdown which was approved by a vote of 231–192. The vote was mostly along party lines with Democrats voting in favor and Republicans voting against. Republican opposition was largely due to the bill’s failure to include $5 billion for border security.[253]


  • You using crypto to buy your toilet paper is not a mass scale use case and it is irrelevant.

    So then you claim that being able to buy stuff isn’t a “mass scale” use case…

    You realize that’s fucking stupid right?

    As I said, I can and do buy things regularly (though “rare” comparatively with the normal fiat purchases) with crypto. Other’s can do with me as well as the sites that I do it on do it as well. I can prove that by looking at the block chain and seeing the traffic in their wallets.

    So “way to go man!” Unless you actually have something more meaningful than “nuh uh”. You’re kind of full of shit.

    Edit: Lack of “big” vendors doing it != not possible at mass scale.

    Dell at one point accepted crypto. They stopped because of regulation, not because of technical limitation. And sites like Newegg still accept it.


  • Over the 15+ years that we’ve had crypto, there have been only two viable uses. All others have failed:

    Criminal activity (including brutal stuff like enabling NK/Russia and drug cartels)
    Financial speculation (in of itself often a malicious activity where the goal is to dump your worthless bags on a mark)
    

    Huh, Weird… Every use I’ve ever used crypto for doesn’t fall into these two categories. So I guess your assumptions and thus everything you based your logic/responses on must be faulty and incorrect.

    I use Crypto much like I use my second language/citizenship. Rarely… However, that doesn’t mean I don’t use it legally. And simply holding onto the crypto != financial speculation. Nobody treats a savings account as “financial speculation”.

    I’ve paid for plenty of things from my crypto wallets. Ranging from several to thousands of dollars.

    And yes, I would like my payment for toilet paper and bell peppers to be private. Strictly for the fact that I don’t want Mega-corpo stores to be able to track and advertise to me based on my payment method. “Club cards” to advertise/track you are a thing. Large chains can do this same thing with payment methods details. So yes, being “real” here, I not only require it, but demand it.

    Your premise is bad. And based on your other responses you don’t care to address it at all.
