I saw an article earlier today speculating that the iOS emulator might have raised the awareness drawing the eye of Nintendo, Sega, and others.

Edit - Ha! It was this article.

This rant is about using Cloudflare as a proxy, nothing to do with who you buy your domain name from.

TimLovesTech, 5 days ago

So does everyone here that fears Cloudflare as secretly out to get them not believe that the NSA doesn’t have their hooks in all the major datacenters? The same datacenters used by all the major web hosts people are using to “self host” for privacy.

Personally I think you have to have faith at some point that everything from your node to the destination is on the up-and-up unless you have a concrete reason to assume otherwise. Otherwise you should be suspicious of your ISP’s network and every switch/router/firewall/node your data traverses on the internet. And being that paranoid basically means anything you didn’t review the code of and compile yourself should be out of bounds.

Agreed, it can work for those wanting to be an admin (and know enough to be “dangerous”). I think the bigger issue comes when you want to open services to the internet, because unless you are an admin you probably don’t want to do that without a proxy (and possibly firewall) of some kind in front of your home network. Which is kinda what I was thinking with this anti-Cloudflare post. If you are interacting with the Internet you have to trust a network and hardware outside of your own. And I think it’s naive to fear the 3-letter orgs being inside Cloudflare, and then thinking that putting your data in a datacenter you don’t control is any “safer”.

I think ultimately if the 3 letter groups want your data that bad because you’re on some list, I think the internet as a whole is something you should probably be avoiding anyways. And for randoms, if they are sweeping up data like that you can be sure they would do it at more than just Cloudflare.

I think they will get a percentage of the “never Trump” section of the Republican party. The real question is what that percentage of the Republican party actually is, as admitting that currently can open people’s worlds to a deluge of toxicity/ostracizing.

TimLovesTech, 6 days ago

Because the “never Trump” part of the Republican party knows that a vote for anyone but Biden helps Trump.

And it’s probably not a huge percentage, but it is a percentage Trump is going to need to contend with. But that is why Trump’s campaign contributors are also funding RFK Jr’s campaign, as they need him to get the “never Trump” crowd.

Also funny enough there is a wiki page: List of Republicans who oppose the Donald Trump 2024 presidential campaign

More than that, they unprecedentedly arranged with his lawyers to pick a date/time that NONE of his family, let alone himself, were even in Florida! This is 100% intimidation of law enforcement in retaliation for the justice system FINALLY trying to hold him to account for his lifetime of crime.

Troupis @ 70 yrs old doing crime could mean his last days could be in a cell if he were to get the full 6 yrs possible. That kind of blind loyalty to Trump that has zero F’s for this man just shows how sad it is to be a member of a cult.

This unlocks the secret 30 license copy.

I wonder what the GOP take on Hunter’s trial is going to be? I’m going to go out on a limb and say, if convicted they will praise it, while at the same time saying Biden has the DOJ weaponized against Trump. If Trump’s DOJ hadn’t shut down all investigations into his crimes I’m sure his Federal ones would have started while he was still in office. He also wouldn’t have had to rush to announce his running to make his cases “political” even though nothing states he can’t be held accountable and campaign at the same time. Running alone shouldn’t be treated as some shield to prosecution as it is due to everyone afraid of looking “political” and feeding right into the crazy arguments from criminals.

I had read in the past that Trump also believes that the bodies energy can be “used up” like a battery and is one of his many reasons he never does physical activity.

I think a majority of this depends on the market. I have seen 4 houses sold on my street in the past 2 months. And 3 of those were in May, and the 4th was April but is being flipped I think and back on the market with a higher price (more inline with the current area - and to recoup renovation costs).

The smell of raw celery makes me nauseous, especially when cut. Cooked in things I find the texture off-putting and tasteless, compounding the unwanted crunch added to something that shouldn’t crunch.

For those not upset and see the band “just playing a gig”, what would be a line that you personally would consider too far? Would you be ok with them doing a private show for Netanyahu and his cabinet? Would a private show for Trump and his Republican lackeys be ok? How about Nestle CEO and its board, but none of its workers? Would a private show for the Proud Boys be ok if they had a “dump truck full of cash”?

Yep, was all about not having to pay labor. They can continue to use immigrants as cheap/slave labor under the fear they have of being deported, and if these businesses are caught they get a “hand slap” as by design. They then rinse and repeat the process.

They are all members of the cult, just sadly the majority of them don’t realize they are. This is David Koresh on steroids! He has a platform previous cults did not, and has captured a political party to use for recruitment. It has become apparent that at some point the media and the country need to start treating his cult as such, and we need to figure out how to “rescue” millions of people that would do anything for their cult leader because they have broken all tethers to reality. Putting the cult leader in jail is not going to bring these people back, and is going to require mental health resources on a scale the US (and the world) has never had to deal with before. This is going to have repercussions for generations.

TimLovesTech, 13 days ago

Constitutionally? No. But in a normal world the Republican party wouldn’t be part of a cult, and would disqualify him themselves (being law and order and whatnot).

Or his CFO, who is currently serving his 2nd sentence in Rikers to protect “the boss”.

At what point is it more “work” to just do the wrong thing instead of what people are paying for? Also if people were already embalmed, why wouldn’t you just put the body in the casket (since you don’t embalm ppl for cremation)? Or do the “cremate everything” route I’ve read of other places getting in trouble for? At least it’s not having to stack bodies in a room that the article describes as basically hell on earth.

TimLovesTech, 19 days ago

Sounds like more reason to burn “the evidence” (aka cremate) afterwards. Not sure how staking bodies in a building is a long term solution. I guess when you’re the kind of person that can do that to people grieving, you’re also not too bright.

If convicted he would (plebs would anyway) start serving his time while his appeals process works its way to be heard by the appellate court. And if he does time at all, he would probably be out before his case made it for review, which would then only serve to strike the felony/felonies conviction(s) from his record (if he wins of course).

TimLovesTech, 20 days ago

They have facilities that are used to keep “protected” inmates (ex. - informants, flippers) out of general population prisons that they could put him in and have him be the only inmate in the building.

TimLovesTech, 20 days ago

His CFO is also doing his 2nd round at Rikers because he would rather purger himself then snitch on the crime boss. And also something to do with his “don’t flip” NDA he has with Trump that gives him a bonus for not cooperating with law enforcement that came to light during this current trial.

Two of my favorite consoles of all time. If they could do an updated retro console based on the Intellivision II and allow playing Atari 2600 games without buying a separate adapter I would be in heaven.

I have bins of games, but my controllers did not age 40+ years all that well. 😞

TimLovesTech, 19 days ago

My Atari joystick still works, it’s more my Intellivision controllers. But having a nicer way to play on a modern TV with the original games with higher quality controllers would be amazing.
