Tankies.

You can't have a discussion about anything without some tankie blaming it on Ukrainians / the west / capitalism, etc.

"Oh you stubbed your toe on the table? See, tables are oppressive furniture of the bourgeoisie. The Chinese government wanted to make all tables toe-stubbing resistent, but that would affect IKEA's bottom line and the pharmaceutical industry's profits. I have a source from tankiepeoplesmagazine to back this up."

 

I am currently self-hosting a meta search engine instance (searxng), which allows me combine searches from different engines (e.g. Google, Bing, Yahoo, etc), but also to filter out websites that I don't want to show up.

The only website to make my blacklist so far is slant.co (useless SEO-riddled site that always comes up when I search for software comparisons). I also automatically redirect all reddit.com links to old.reddit.com.

I'm looking to expand this list. So, which websites do you blacklist? Either using software, or just mentally.

Thanks! I'll check with my vps provider.

However, this proxy does not seem to be "within" the tor network itself, right? I'm just connecting someone to the first entry node on the system, correct?

Would I be transmitting unencrypted data? In other words, would an outsider be able to tell that I'm transmitting something illegal to a person accessing tor?

 

I was reading this guide on how to run a snowflake proxy, and I'm considering doing it.

I'm currently renting a small VPS for my self-hosted services, and I have some spare capacity. So I was wondering, are there any downsides that I might be overlooking?

My self-hosted services are on a URL with my real name. Could there be any privacy or legal implications for me? (I don't live under an authoritarian regime)

It's Eembrace, extend, and extinguish (EEE) all over again. It has happen countless times, and will keep happening. I can't believe people still fall for it.

Meta wants to capture the twitter refugees, and they will do the same thing.

Lots of people are suggesting using TUI applications.

While I don't disagree that will make you more comfortable spending time in the terminal, you're not really getting better at the command line (CLI).

I recommend you learn the basics of how the shell works. This is a good resource: https://effective-shell.com/

It's a bit far-fetched but I remember a website I found a while back that was fully hosted using solar energy (yes it went down at times).

Was it this one?

How come?

I get the top hacker news from an RSS feed (https://hnrss.github.io/), individual blogs, YouTube channels, twitter accounts (getting the RSS feeds from nitter), etc

Most websites will have RSS hidden underneath.

Am I the only one bothered by him referring to people as "Snoos"? It's so cringy.
