Norny is the person you were defending. Can’t be bothered typing their full username.

And yet you norny seem to like B-52’s who were inspired by Yoko.

They were not hacks.

You don’t get it because you probably are not an artist yourself. Maybe humble yourself and accept it from the artists rather than be “sad”. Am sure there is plenty which you know about more than they do.

I don’t get Miles Davis’ Bitch’s Brew or Captain Beefheart’s Trout Mask but am not going to disparage them. Musicians more advanced than me say it is awesome so I merely respect that. I don’t have to listen to the albums every afternoon until I get it

Fun fact: Interlude in B-52’s Rock Lobster was inspired by Yoko Ono.

Which in turn inspired Lennon to resume recording with Yoko.

Interesting that people on social media with a clichéd taste in music feel the need to punch down on creative artists who nevertheless end up influencing mainstream music decades later.

I don’t know what a software “stack” is but government can packet sniff to see if that kind of software is used but the vendors in this cat and mouse game apparently can sometimes fool the packet sniffers.

China cannot block all VPN’s so it is looking good for us geeks. However we need to educate the masses.

I had my Internet crippled in China in 2012 after I used Hamachi to log into my home computer in Australia.

The crippling got worse if I repeated my action eventually disabling the internet completely for about an hour.

I played this game a few times to pick up on the pattern.

A company can run their own VPN server. A third party need not be involved. The commercial VPN service providers can therefore be blocked by government without affecting those businesses.

Maybe the real insult is that his cheapskate friends are just not offering enough money?

Chickens are closely related to avian dinosaurs.

I meant Unix systems were hacked through finger. It may be fixed now and may have never been a problem in Linux.

I am not geeky enough to understand the details. https://spaf.cerias.purdue.edu/tech-reps/823.pdf#page5

Finger is a security risk.

Also SimpleX although your server probably needs to run in Linux not Android.

Sounds good. I would love to get an activist group I run off Facebook. There are hundreds of members but traffic is less than what you describe.

The problem for me is that most of the members are technically illiterate so my next question is: how sophisticated do the clients need to be?

How much procesing could it handle though? If it is only a handful of friends then what makes it better than Signal?

Also, cheap second hand laptops are a thing.

I want to believe but I wonder if there is a practical use beyond “this would be cool” (and I do think it is).

The server runs on a phone and not a computer? Why?

😂

I suppose people used to spank with breadboards and fetishists still do. What’s a groot though?

I don’t understand the cutting board but that vase is awesome.

For extra edginess, pin some yellow stars on the shirt. 🇨🇳
