> you can be liable if you can't prove it happened.

Even if you can prove in many places.

Also if someone robs your house and gets hurt due to some noncompliance on your part they can sue you and win.

Re:Meta exposé author faces bankruptcy after ban on criticising company on Sunday September 21, 2025 @11:49AM (#45323774)

This is actually the norm throughout the world.

The law doesn't give a shit about truth but it only cares about keeping thing running smoothly as they currently are.

The state has more power and therefore does what it wants.

Anything other than that is just wishful thinking.

You've had people in jail for over a decade at the judge's discretion because the judge didn't believe them.

Re:FBI couldn't get my husband to decrypt his Tor node so he was jaile... on Tuesday September 16, 2025 @08:56AM (#45261596)

Privacy is not a deterrent to that.

The state does what it wants and in the end it doesn't even need an excuse.

An excuse is a nice to have, but that's it.

Re:Chat Control Must Be Stopped, Act Now on Monday September 08, 2025 @05:09PM (#45174026)

I do.

Are you going to the the "pedo" that is against protecting the children and catching predators?

I know it's diseingenuous but these laws are crafted with that in mind.

People that might take a real chance in challenging this are weeded out long before they get to these positions.

Which is now completely filled with advertisements and limit on how many maps you can download.

> Also no, Node is not fast. I don't know why people think Node/JS is fast

Node is not fast. It's faster than PHP and that is very clear.

The most cursory search and hands on experience will tell you that.

Re:The Rise of Hybrid PHP: Blending PHP with Go and Rust on Sunday August 31, 2025 @05:15PM (#45087166)

As someone who is not a fan of npm/ts I must say I find this almost delusional.

TS is way better than PHP and node is much faster.

Re:Ask HN: The government of my country blocked VPN access. What shoul... on Sunday August 31, 2025 @11:25AM (#45083900)

Also true, but also happens in workplaces.

It will be even worse using a normal VPN so no solution there.

Also, if you're signed in it will be fine.

Re:Ask HN: The government of my country blocked VPN access. What shoul... on Saturday August 30, 2025 @10:48PM (#45079914)

This is true, keeps getting worse, but depends heavily on the datacenter/IP.

Re:The Rise of Hybrid PHP: Blending PHP with Go and Rust on Saturday August 30, 2025 @09:32PM (#45079541)

The fact that we're still pretending PHP is a valid solution for almost anything after all these years is a joke.

Not only that, but now we have these "frankenstein" solutions with all the interop problems on top of PHP.

Just shows that as a species humans really can't learn.

Re:Ask HN: The government of my country blocked VPN access. What shoul... on Friday August 29, 2025 @12:18AM (#45060136)

Regarding your usage:

Organic Maps app can download all maps for offile and works OK in China.

It uses openstreetmap data.

1024 bit RSA keys is laughable. I'm inclined to think this was not by accident.

Idea 1 and 2 are basically the same.

Like I've written here.

VPS in EU with 2GB RAM, 40 GB disk and >1TB a month of traffic go for $10 PER YEAR!

1GB or even 512MB and 10GB of storage is very easy and completely doable to use for a VPN + HTTPS server

Traffic is super cheap nowadays.

Your real issue will be IP reputation.
