So… could I not just disconnect my pc from the internet, or have a desktop or virtual machine without internet access, keep my 3d printer offline, and use a software or 3d modeling software that’s open-source, and profit?

This bill has also just classified my ice tray as a 3D printer, and don’t tell anyone but a trip to my local Home Depot with 10 bucks in my hand could potentially make something more dangerous.

Honebox a simple home inventory management software

One option is to use a older version of TrueNAS until some alternatives start to show up.

I would probably keep my NAS offline so it does not phone home.

That can be installed on any hardware, as opposed to just a TV directly. That I could get behind.

How many germans do you need to change a lightbulb?

One. We are efficient and have no humour.

Thank goodness that trashcan is there to help catch all that water, and the drain on the floor as a backup, in case anything is missed.

My local post office did the same. All letters and packages are now sent open so staff can read and see the contents. /s

Thank fucking god, someone finally realized opening everyone’s private messages would be similar to opening everyone’s written leters at the post office before they get sent.

Also people need to continue to stay vigilant, in case this does come back “rebrand” as something new.

Somehow everyone has forgotten about parental controls that have been apart of consumer grade home routers for years.

Parental controls are there specifically to help parents. These settings allow a parent to block everything online only allowing access to approved lists of websites, generaly done through a whitelist or approved websites.

What is missing at a government level is a “curation effort” of websites, similar to Libraries that classify books by genres and appropriate age levels.

I would propose a government fund where Librarians or similar organizations can start this effort, and make these lists easily accessible within routers for non tech individuals, together with local initiatives and programs for parents that have a interest to learn more.

For power users lists like these already exists curated by public individuals very similar to pihole block lists and whitelists.

This concept would be the most privacy respectful IMO giving parents the most power to parent, while respecting everyone else’s privacy online including children.

But somehow we all know this is not about “protecting the children”, but really about mass surveillance for the public at all age groups, and yet this topic keeps coming up.

We are now removing sidewalks and instead will be painting sidewalks!

People should be fighting to oppose this more then trying to figure out ways to circumvent this at the moment.

Gemini is a hot pile of garbage.

When I ask Gemini for directions it starts to give me a definition, as opposed to opening maps and showing me the way. If I ask to turn off the lights I get a conversation and I end up walking to the light switch myself.

If I were to send a physical letter written in code that can only be decrypted with a cipher would I now be breaking the law?

What about radio or telephone conversations in code?

Can I still password protect my zip files or encrypt my NAS or PC before boot?

When it was offline it was working correctly

Edit: Never mind, I thought the flock cameras themselves were offline.

Ready Player One (2018)

My process is to rewrite old posts with generic text like “this message has been deleted” or something along those lines.

Then I choose to delete the post and after some period I would delete the account.

This prevents a company from eating up your past history as AI training data or recovering your deleted posts to some extent.

Fuck that, I want to own my shit and will build my own fucking server before renting space in a corporate owned server.
