The entire point of a web browser is to allow scum to:

• endlessly throw loginwalls and paywalls at us

• load dodgy third party sites libraries

• insisting on kyc as an act to show and display continuous acts of compliance

So not surprising the linked site has either a login or paywall.

Forcing a phone number is kyc. kyc is obnoxious.

Thx for sharing

Stract on github

Can self host

The other suggestions aren’t suggestions at all. They are obsoleted by searx.space

DDG … obsolete

startpage.com … obsolete

Browsers have default search engines. Curse everytime, DDG is accidentally queried.

DDG is a curse word!

Any centralized site, with privacy claims, is treated as lying thru their teeth. Front run future news.

SHUM

Property owner rights do not magically override the 1A.

Property owners are welcome to write scary notices. They are just not legally enforceable.

yeah but America employs all the UK actors to teach us how to behave and think.

If British customs haven’t rubbed off on America, can we not say the UK actors have not done a great job at promoting the UK?

govts print infinite money. All of us are working for free. Their fiat is credits for the company store.

If you think funding projects is bad then the response is to support lobbying project owners to put in malware until FOSS is publically funded.

All we have to do is verbally support it. And cheerlead when it occurs. We don’t actually have to actively do it. It’s a threat which is done in politics all the time.

Step 1: all software has to be open source

Step 2: governments, required by law, to fund FOSS projects in their tech stacks. Helped by organizations which trace project funding and lobbying to promote FOSS security by providing funding; a huge incentive to not insert malware

Step 3: coders are afforded dignity (UBI); given funds geared towards affording a maintenance team. Regardless of country of origin. Vital infrastructure is vital infrastructure. Talent is talent.

I support this move to Step 1

Where is the list of pauper gov’ts which force talent to get a job rather than be a talent and then maintain their projects with dignity!

Those jobs are mostly nonsense. Geared towards wasting our time building:

• yet another stupid web site

• yet another stupid smartphone app

• yet another stupid cloud base server instance

pirate: My dreams concern ccy off ramps. Remote work is our future.

At all costs, never ever answer any kyc/aml questions:

• What’s your name?
• How old are you?
• What country are you from?
• Where do you live?
• Can i have your phone number?

The truth is vastly overrated concept.

openssl rand -hex 20 <-- memorize this. Adjusting integer affects output length. Try it now. Now try is 20 times in a row. This is your name and password generator. My name is a71fe7b7ec46e0ae0a191004509af262cb2bbe99

Outing your identity has HUGE financial and legal repercussions. Not outting your own identity saves on: stress, time, filling out forms, and you can keep your income and house (a motel is insurance). There will be fees to be paid to ccy off ramps, but they are nothing in comparison.

If anyone insists, insist they give you their credit card. Then keep it. This is an important life lesson. Anyone can be de-systemed. And as soon as you internalize that … the better. If you are not de-systemed, consider yourself de-systemed. Plan accordingly. I know folks who are de-systemed.

Make a telegram group for onboarding. Create invite links as needed. Then no need to exchange phone numbers. I’m ok with Russia viewing my communications. In fact, that’s hilarious. Could use e2e encryption. Boris is busy anyway.

If you talk about coding always, you’ll become immune to censorship. Normies brains cannot withstand such punishment. They’ll find someone else to censor.

HVAC: mini splits

black mold forms and causes breathing problems. Clean aircons (air conditioner) every 6 months - 1 year.

If water is dripping from the outside unit, your aircon is lacking gas. Making it into a giant fan.

A mini-split is chosen to meet the needs for one room. Some folks, and can’t be convinced otherwise, think an aircon can cover the entire universe. And to prove it, they leave all the doors open.

This is proof we live in the matrix. It’s completely unsolvable issue without self closing doors

duckcuckgo is obsolete. Use searx.space

this is shamelessly spreading FUD. The XZ issue has been resolved and was resolved very quickly. The author is a hero.
