The demographic impact of medications and vaccines is very significant, it used to take some populations centuries to double their number, now it takes few decades.

There are self-hostable solutions for DDoS protection, try Anubis for example.

@ybceo As long as you use Cloudflare to verify users [fingerprints] and traffic between users and your service is decrypted at Cloudflare side, I am afraid it difficult to take these anonymity claims seriously.

Please do not to rely on fingerprinters or CDNs that does TLS-termination for you.

Re:Has the cost of building software just dropped 90%? on Tuesday December 09, 2025 @05:39AM (#46203436)
You don't have to self host, $100/engineer/mo is enough for many usecases.

Some indirect results to this might be:

- More engineers moving from employment to indie development.

- Less abandoned open source software.

- Indie developers, small teams, and open source software developers will be more able to catch up and better compete with tech giants.

I believe the AI agentic coders will threat tech giants more than it - collectively - threats software engineers.

You mention the rogue genocidal state in a negative comment in any platform under the "free world" control and you get cancelled for balsphemy right away.

It is a Signal client that uses same servers (i.e Users of Molly and Signal's official app can message and call each othera normally).
Re:Are consumers just tech debt to Microsoft? on Sunday November 23, 2025 @10:51PM (#46030183)
The proliferation of cheap agenting tools integrating with every SDLC stage makes building open source software faster and cheaper, which decreases the competition barrier with Microsoft's deep pockets, and decrease older propietary software market value significantly.
Exactly, I unistalled Waze once I knew it was Israeli, as well as avoided about a dozen of VPN providers acquired by ex-Mossad led Kape Technologies
> ..and the concerning thing here to me is not even how the Israeli lawyer or Army acted, but how Israeli public perception is seemingly changing on this.

Nothing changed, they have always been this way..

Re:Obfuscating WireGuard Traffic as QUIC on Tuesday October 28, 2025 @12:27AM (#45729193)
FYI: Using I1-I5 in Amnezia client works fine with regular Wireguard servers, no need to deploy Amnezia on the server side.
Re:Introduction to GrapheneOS on Monday September 15, 2025 @03:30AM (#45247069)
This post would be better if it focused on the differences with android. They can be found on GOS feature page, https://grapheneos.org/features , some security features are difficult to understand for non-developers, like ability to block Web JIT and native code debugging.
Blaming AI is better because it helps corporations convince the working class that there jobs are in long-term danger so they collectively settle for less favorable work terms and compensation, unlike if they are convinced that it is going to gradually improve with the upcoming monetary easing cycle..
AmneziaWG clients works just fine with normal Wireguard servers by the way.
AmneziaWG client worked just fine with normal Wireguard servers in Egypt where official Wireguard clients doesn't, WGTunnel app on android support both protocols.

> The mistake here is in thinking that there's "democracy" left to save.

There is no democracy, never has been, it is an illusion of choice maintained by the oligarchs to keep people motivated just to get exploited more by whoever wins their next ballot.

I don't care about DVs

Let's remember that there is no real "democracy" out there, activism and strikes are declared illegal/terrorism/threat in Europe and North America when it crosses the boundaries of the elite oligarchs.

US rail strikes, Canada truckers strikes, anti-genocide protests, anti-deportation protests, etc..

Online crackdown on journalism under the pretext of "graphic" content is an everyday occurrence.

So talking about ban on adult content in that context is naive at best.
