Crowd sourced, open access FLOS(Data) is almost always good. will check it out. thanks!

without addons to control internet crazy, that word “function” is doing some heavy lifting.

ok, now thats just a slice of awesomeness! thank you, kind friend. will look for the show.

looking to slow right the F down? any of the family (meaning not primary islands) islands in the Bahamas, but particularly abaco, eleuthera, long island or andros. 100% totally different way of living than you are likely used to.

visited many times and wanting to go back before its all gone due to climate change.

edit: tagging @espentan@lemmy.world cuz I did a dumb and subcommented.

GNUs Not Unix. I don’t recall him claiming it was. if he did, well… :-/

didnt finish the video but, seriously, one of the best laymans explainations I have seen of emulation and thin compatibility layers.

agreed. as long as the administrative requirement is not “all work done from office desk”, and cellular carrier IP ranges are allowed for his specific services, a cellular connection from laptop (cuz tech reasons) works. OP just likely needs a reasonable cya excuse to make things smooth.

your IP will be the easy give away if they care to audit. a possible solution is to VPN to the campus and nat your traffic from a campus IP, but now we are getting into additional questionable action.

• plate number is tied to a VIN which describes the make/model. (sir, this is a wendys toyota. where is the honda?)

• replies not required from the plate - plate has a specialized qrcode printed across the entire plate (infrared reflector?) with an identifier (lic + other public info?) and signed with an RSA keypair - reader can authenticate the information and a qrcode read counts as a verifiably good read

• …or just ship RFID tags in the yearly inspection stickers - same cryptographic concept

none of this is hard or costly. only impediment is public rejection and we all know that can be managed.

very cool idea. they will counter with RFID or turn the plate into the equiv of a qrcode. store a cryptographically secure hash of the plate number and you pretty much put an end to that, no?. if I cant get a crypto signed version of your plate, flag the the car as a scofflaw (or worse) and track it as it travels in other ways. I think we are pretty much screwed without a change in laws.

with anti-women laws in some of these states, this is terrifying.

wholeheartedly agree. https://fair.org and https://democracynow.org are treasures.

sadly, agreed. mindshare leads to adoption, tho - so putting Firefox in front of more faces is always a positive. after all, its how google dominates.

I’d wager that the cameras can’t read them either if you can’t at 10 yards

I might not take a bet on that. most license plates use reflective paint to aid in this. it would surprise me if paint and cameras are not tuned to at least one non human-visible wavelength.

polarized plate covers, specialized spray coatings, etc may work, but I am not betting my freedom on it. time to go bond style and get rotating plates.

a big thank you for your comment. comments like these really do help me to not skip worthwhile articles.

nah, lets get them switched away from chromium based spy machines.

interesting how we are all separated by the color of the collar around our necks.

👀 your meme game strong.

Instead of making its code more efficient, the system tried to modify its code to extend beyond the timeout period.

doing the “stupid”, “easy” thing. pack it up, bois. been a good run but we finally made a better human.

its a dance between the electorate and the elected. nobody should be shutting up about anything - even the insane trumpets. sanity has no special disposition on this planet and, if you want your particular flavor of reality implemented, scream about it and then make it happen.

we are exactly in this position because not enough people were involved in the process to begin with. please don’t hate-shame people out of it again.
