Somewhat related: my great uncle is finally moving to a medical facility now that he’s absolutely old. He was a somewhat renowned dude in minerals et fossils. We invited 2 local universities to come and take all materials they wish before handling the succession among family members. So science gets its dues before greedy offspring’s. And it is apparently quite common for universities, they even had an hotline for this…

In 2025? From Marion Zimmer Bradley to Will Smith there’s quite a few that You Shall Not Name when discussing good works. Or so I’m learning while cruising the fediverse.

Not keeping those specific bellies full is a tad risky business… This makes me rethink all the theories I read lately about trump’s 5D chess starvation plans honestly.

They don’t have the capability to deploy ISP-wide blocking in UK? Why is the charge of compliance put on some foreign company ?

where the fuck do you source your porn from so that choking is so prevalent ?! When looking for this sort of content it’s super hard to find some…

Getting better and better over there… it surprises me a bit that they already ran out of farmers and builders. Very efficient nazis you have.

They do as good as women on 4 legs it seems….

And what I shared was based on my personal involvement on the topic. As I said somewhere in the thread my expertise is limited to one country in Europe so the legal framework is vastly different but the more human and technological considerations are likely very transferable. And indeed there are criteria for warrants but that would be subject to interpretation at all steps plus not everything goes via warrants. Judge being lenient isn’t also accounting for their own metrics and perspectives. And additionally a whole lot of my personal issues would be related to how data, even when acquired both legitimately and with some regard for ethics, is handled. And that needs to be addressed by police forces and their providers.

But then you need to trust another party which is just moving the problem along…

Ah no I was assuming we need privacy for everyone… but this would work as well. When working in responsible disclosure this is very much a problem. You want those channels open as wide as possible and as easy as possible.

And to a large extent I suspect boomers were a bit more into systems and protocols than the new gens.

But keep on…

You should consider reviewing your baseline to integrate actual persons. Some need help to use WhatsApp so go figure how they would fare with most of those.

Users don’t need to configure email that’s kind of the point… and the receiving side of most of your techs still had to eventually setup the server side right? Adminforge is Linux tutorials, hardly something for the basic user. And disroot has not the best reputation if I can trust the few top links in my search results due to its gtc where they mentioned that they would collaborate in criminal investigations as well.

That’s definitively not how they work in Europe and even though I’m not expert in other regions I assume that it’s absolutely not the case in USA either. Technologically there’s no solutions fully preserving everyone’s privacy hence the importance of the local culture. But if the current practices improve with the likes of the controls I mentioned I would say that it would be good enough.

Damn. They didn’t seem so wild especially compared to the flow of yours. All mediums / techs you listed are complex technologies that take efforts to setup. Compared to the ubiquitousness of email. How do you propose to make that as available to the baseline human being?

Aren’t most of those requiring dedicated setup? How does that work without a pre-existing communication channel such as email to prep for them? You walk to every party you need to integrate?

At the very least have controls in place ensuring disposal of data when court cases are fully processed to the full extent of appeals possibilities. Not allowing broad requests such as « everyone that connected to a given antenna for a month » or even « all connections toward NET or ASN whatever ». Additionally have the data fully isolated, removing all possibilities to cross use data initially granted for a purpose. I could go on for a while… It’s all a balance though, sometimes reuse leads to solving unrelated cases but it’s bound to the imperfections of local authorities everywhere one’s data can be requested.

I’d be curious to see where that links to create a new account takes you to… probably toward htt//youdumbfuck.lol

Maybe with symmetric fiber and if the electricity prices lower I’ll go back to that. Before the advent of convenient and cheap providers we had ou webservers, irc servers and some game servers at home… but the cost of that and the additional maintenance nightmare makes that less desirable than having OVH doing it all for me…

Birds eat dead shit all the time… probably the typical rat poison would get them that way. Traps on another hand…

Everything has its place… those are admirable critters for what they are. Case in point they can appropriate a whole island given the opportunity.
