Clearly you know of lot about this. Here are some comments for the next human.

Deny all modules seems more possible than a whitelist approach. To deny all, the command is likely “sysctl kernel.modules_disabled=1”.

Whitelisting is harder. One could store a list of all loaded modules on a working system. Store a list of all kernel modules currently installed on the system. Compare the lists and remove from the “all” list the “running” list (grep will do this) and write it to the blacklist file.

The problem with the Whitelisting approach is that it needs to run after every kernel module install (which is doable).

If the above is the case, then someone must have automated this already, but I cannot find it quickly. (I checked Debian’s package repository.)

Police appear to be something of a problem. Might be better to have no police than to have easily usurped police. Hell, slit the police force up based on tasks and don’t have the group that is happy to “forcibly broke up protest” (keep the “investigate my murder” cops as they are doing a great job).

Wasn’t it a combination of “Daddy Issues” and “Twisted Christianity Trying to Call Fourth the End Times, so Sky Daddy Will Come Home” (as opposed to normal Christians that think killing is a straight line to Hell)?

Shit. Just daddy issues.

Sometimes it is just a really intense garden.

Ah yes. And Twisted Teas are or can be, “hard” (containing alcohol, much like “hard alcohol”).

To be serious a minute, I was certain I would be dead long ago. Save for retirement. If the cyborg revolution starts before retirement, then you might be able to get some cool upgrades. If you are “up against the wall”, you won’t have more than a few minutes to regret saving for retirement before you die. Regret Minimization!

Yes!

An diplomats/CEOs using Teslas!

• Optical cameras are mandated at Musk’s insistence, despite lidar being better.
• Built in cell modem for “over the air updates”.
• Massive processing onboard for “interpreting the cameras”.
• Microphones and cameras inside to “ensure the driver is paying attention”.
• Big ass batteries for driving and keeping sky kit running.
• Get the targets to pay for the spy gear themselves.

An issue with post-interstate USA is the ability to move away from family for education and work, also fragmented the extended family. Managing life, everything and a under-6 month old infant takes way more than two people. (Day care in many areas will accept an infant at 6 weeks, which while huge, is also problematic.)

I expect the only solution is get rich and help your kids with the grand kids. (UBI!)

None of this is an excuse to fuck off and not help. It is pathetic when men say “and I never changed a diaper”. Hardly a parent at all at that point.

Great video! Nice to see someone highlighting successful government run grocery stores!

A bit funny to see congress people that use and support government run grocery stores, while also talking bad about them.

Didn’t the tech companies threaten to leave if they were taxed? Seems easier to tax the tech companies than force people to identify themselves.

… Can’t let black people build something nice.

It is like a speed run of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. No one wanted to buy Russian weapons after that. The USA is in the same position now.

Big risks mean big rewards. (My lawyer does not think the “big risks” includes being “shot by an unknown, never caught stranger in the street just for trying to allegedly kill millions of people by denying medical care.”)

I am disappointed. A few servers have been moved via train and stayed online. Codeberg should do better.

Any modern translations? I find all German language works translated into English in the 1800s, that I have attempted to read, to be shitty. They are just terrible translations. English changed and scholars have gotten better at translating.

Gotta not have a moral failing, like a husband that drops dead. This is how we know billionaires are highly moral; they rich. /s

Edit: To make clear I am being sarcastic.

Google, the company confirmed the issue stemmed from a “fake edit” in Google Maps that was “briefly” incorporated into its call-screening feature.

I would not have expected that Google Maps fed into the Caller ID on Android phones.

Roy secured his spot in the general election by creating his own third party, the Freedom and Unity party.

It often takes more work, but of a different kind, to establish a third party, than to win the nomination (I know nothing of Vermont’s rules). Good work!

The problem with “supporting sex workers” are the number of people that first feel the need to first disclaim that they do not partake. Consider the sentence “I support gardeners, but myself would never use their services.” Like of course, you don’t need a gardener in order to think they should have the same protection from random and systemic abuse from the general public and the legal system.

There are more options than the two you mentioned. Listing a few as more people should remember them. I did get a bit off topic…

1. Use huge company to provide service.
2. Provide service oneself (, likely with Open Source. )
3. Use small or medium company to provide service (, likely with Open Source. )
4. Use huge company for things huge company is great with, but keep “crown jewels” of company on internal self provided systems.
5. Use a small or medium company to provide a service, and another series of small or medium companies to check on the first company.
6. Use a huge company based in a country that is very serious about laws and putting CEOs in prison for wrongful acts.
7. Do not do the thing. (Included for completeness.)
8. Do the thing not on a computer. (Violation of privacy could result in violation of more serious laws.)
9. Use an older technology on a computer.
10. Use the huge company to provide service, but ensure the data includes insane things.
