IANAL, but I believe in some places you have to go after any and all forms of it, otherwise you risk losing the whole thing. I think US is one of those places.

There are lots of companies selling data, just one of them is a list of known VPN IP addresses. Updated every X days. Just plug that into your service and it gets a lot harder, but still not impossible, to use with a VPN.

It will just be a few approved sites that you are allowed to visit, and just by chance those sites are the ones that pay the goverment the most! Those sites will have records in the approved DNS, that you can not change. Other DNS requests are blocked, along with everything else that isn’t approved.

I liked the DLCs as well. I know why they don’t do them anymore, as online is a money printing machine. But I really liked them and wished they had done more.

The world exists, so just add a story with a bunch of missions => nice DLC. But since they make such an obscene amount of money from online it makes no sense for them to do any more.

No, but it is a far more complex problem than what the other comment made it sound like. That it is only because they cheap out on server hardware and it could be perfect if they just wasn’t cheap.

Not always, latency is a huge problem especially in action games.

I am just happy that Malta is included for once. It is like the world maps without NZ but for europe

I used (g)Vim on windows back when I used that

Imagine if it did get that kind of funding

Aha, did not know that the id was unique to that instance. But makes sense as it is just a number and not an uuid or similar so it would have to be synced.

I don’t know anything about the source but couldn’t you just open it in anonymous mode or something via the host’s api? Would be better than browser

WSL is good though, whenever I am forced to use windows I install it.

Yes, it annoys me to no end as well. However it is a hard problem to solve as normally you register a domain to be opened in the app. But due to the fediverse nature of loads of different servers, the list would be very long.

I would be happy if you at least had an option of opening it in Jeroba on longclick or someting

Having a single centralized source will always give those issues. It can go down either temporarily or permanently. It is all part of the conveniance/single-point-of-failure scale.

In the short run it going down will cause some issues, which can be mitigated by having local mirrors of critical repos. However, moving to another place should in theory be as easy as replacing github.com with gitlab, codeberg, your-local-git-server url, etc (and auth info of course)

Actually testing what will happen if github and/or other services are down and see how your product or build pipeline handles it, is a very good thing to do, but very rarely is it done. It can be easily accomplished by for example adding a drop rule in iptables. Testing for bad things never seems to happen though, and then when it really is a problem nothing works and everyone panics.

I dont like having 90%ish of all git repos all in one handbasket. Even if MS was benevolent, its not good to have all things in one place. A bad actor could take down all of GH and we would be screwed.

That is not how git works though. If github disappeared today it would be a lot of confusion, but the code exists everywhere it is checked out. The owner/maintainer (or anyone really) can just add a new remote and push it. If they use github specific features like issues, they would be lost though.

If you have physical access you have full access anyway

No, encrypt your drives.

It doesn’t really matter how you measure it, number of flights, duration, distance traveled, etc… No matter which, air travel is by far the safest option. The only other that comes anywhere near is trains. Going by car is bad (though motorcycle is even worse), but so many are afraid of flying that they instead takes the car. Which is among the worst things you could do from a safety point of view.

Humans are awful at accessing risk and chance, one of the reasons casinos and lotteries thrive.

Look at fear of flying for an example, all statistics say you are many many many times over more likely to get into a car accident on your way to the airport, than during the flight. Even when the ride to the airport is usually short and the flight very long. Yet people are afraid of flying, but not going by car. By percentage, there are of course those, rightly so, afraid of cars as well.

This is exactly what it was designed to solve before cryptobros turned it into a pump and dump scheme.

If you want to buy something from seller X that is between you and X and no one else. No goverment, payment processor or other third party can get a cut or stop it for any reason.
