I’ve seen warnings like that when a sites certs expire. Well maintained sites don’t usually let that happen, but I’ve seen it plenty for torrent sites. It’s usually fixed in a few hours or a day.

Like others said, it could also be the ISP, so you can try a VPN, even a free one would probably do, if that was the issue.

You can also try resetting cached data for that site specifically. How to do that is different per browser, search online for more info specific to your browser.

A non-profit community service.

We need an international digital media co-op library.

Anyone can upload/donate their digitally owned content and share ownership with the community… Or people can pool funds with the community and it can buy digital content as a non-profit co-op with shared ownership and access. Then use private torrents to decentralize data hosting and improve streaming to members.

Imagine Netflix as a non-profit digital library.

Movies, TV shows, eBooks, magazines, and music.

Maybe Cuba would be willing to host it’s main office?

I’m jealous of all y’all who know why you got bans.

I’ve gotten warning and temp bans, but they never specify why. They never include the content. Just saying promoting this or that is very unclear, like how, when, where? Did I actually?

I always just ignore them and carry on on alts for a while.

Their shit is so stupid. But there’s a lot of useful content on Reddit. I still hit up old house and DIY type groups, cause I own an old house, and specific tech groups because of the tech I use, but I don’t miss the rest.

Can’t you call and report any road blockage or misuse.

I mean traffic cops may not get there in time, or may not care at the moment due to higher priority tasks, but aren’t they still reportable by default as long as they are illegal?

Technically you’re posting to social media right here, but I think we all got what you meant.

Community bikes are not a new thing. They had them in my hometown through most of my youth and teen years, and may still. I don’t live there anymore. 🙁

They had a strong bike community, and a bike store and repair shop off a main ped/cycle path through town, just outside downtown. It had a lounge and was the primary source of the community bikes and their maintenance.

Paint the bikes all a similar bright color, not white, and get stickers made with info about use and contact info for pickup and repair.

Like, “I’m a community bike, use me as you like, leave me somewhere responsibly when you’re done with me, so somebody else can use me too. Contact for pickup or repairs 555 RIDE 4ME”

Yeah, don’t say you don’t know if you do, that’s lying, which is a crime in this situation. You can answer crime related questions with questions (avoidance). But don’t do that for everything. If they push, start asking if you’re free to go. If they say no, invoke the 5th.

Don’t do their jobs for them.

Don’t answer any questions that could incriminate you. Or talk to them in general. But be polite when you do speak.

Only tell them your name or provide other required identity information. Don’t say where you are going or coming from. Don’t explain anything. Don’t tell stories. Don’t lie.

I can definitely cut steal with my angle grinder.

Faraday bags work… But test them.

I got a cheapo $7 Chromebook sized bag that seemed to work for my SOs iphone. We don’t use NFC so I couldn’t test that.

No BT, WiFi, or Cell, and probably no GPS.

I only did casual testing.

The screen still showed the signal having low bars for WiFi and cellular, but it didn’t actually receive a signal at all when trying to call or use the net, not even with the top of the bag open a sliver and my hand in there.

If the device was off or in airplane mode and in the bag, I’d be comfortable assuming it was safely hidden from tracking.

I haven’t thoroughly tested my various personal devices, but I expect identical results.

I think everyone should probably have a bag like this around, in a go-bag or something, just in case. And it’s safer to have your phone available than not, as long as it’s secure (use a pin or password to lock it, use encryption, put emergency info on it for first responders).

To clarify:

This is a federated service that spans across all nations with Internet access, and the forum you posted this to is just Books.

If you want a localized book forum then create a new forum that’s labeled as such.

I think that would be a weird choice, but you do you.

And if you just want to talk about books with anyone who has access to this forum, go ahead and post a book and start a conversation.

No.

Death is not the only concern.

You don’t just not beat your dog because it doesn’t kill it.

These lights are too bright, they cause discomfort and stress out blinded drivers, and make driving at night impossibly for many who could otherwise drive safely before they were introduced.

For many night driving has become a rather traumatic experience, and that negatively effects them and other people as a result.

Imagine wearing a shocking dog bark collar and not knowing when it’s gonna go off, but knowing it could, and you are also operating a 2 ton vehicle at 60mph on a busy and notoriously deadly stretch of road with your adorable 3 year old twins buckled in the back seat.

Just put the onus on car and bulb sellers going forward, then tack on a req for antiques that goes into effect in stages, probably paired with registration renewals. That way it’s not an all-at-once burden, and most people can know about the transition well in advance. No surprises.

Awe, I miss browsers like Lynx, and MDA and EGA monitors. Those where the days.

That’s what email is for.

In fact, if I unblock them, I still get emails from an elementary school in the Seattle area because 20 years ago I dated somebody with a kid that went there and I subscribed to their event email.

Yes, I tried to unsubscribe for many years.

I was shocked by their paper on static.

There paper on water was surprisingly dry.

There is a conversation to be had here about how newer broadcast mediums like YouTube are not regulated the same way as older mediums like TV/Radio… And it is that old regulation and those differences that allowed Colbert to sidestep this censorship.

Both the censorship and the tech aspects of this story are worthy of discussion, and thus this ‘event’ most certainly does belong here.

But most people are more concerned about the censorship and the content of the video, and that will naturally influence the direction of most discussions about it.

Plus, people don’t always even look at the forum a post was shared too before commenting. Naturally they just see a thing that interests them and they start talking about it.

I only know the forum cause I got far enough down the comments to see yours.

I’m still confused how core Christian beliefs can be in any way compatible with right leaning political beliefs.

Some Republicans know better than to mess with 1st amendment rights, maybe even most, but apparently none of those Republicans own or control our media outlets or operate our government.

I kinda feel like there are definitely poor Republicans, but all the supposed rich and powerful Republicans secretly belong to an entirely different clan.

Philosophy is the foundation of science.
