One thing that pisses me off is that Google never implemented WiFi "Ad hoc" networking on Android (reducing the probably of decentralized networks taking off).

But I would also love to see something like this going.

To be more decentralized you could use radio waves outside of the Internet like LoRa to broadcast whatever you need to... maybe it could be combined with the Internet if it's available to increase distance.
Are you saying that web archive services are breaking copyright law? I would say it's fair use seeing how ephemeral the content is. It's a myth that Internet content last forever.
in other words, "no cojones"
There are but I have heard that sometime the dryer takes forever to dry... never had one though

When will HN automate the process to bypass paywalls since they require posted links to have a way for the paywall to be bypassed? You could phrase in an archival kind of way to avoid possible legal issues if that's the problem...

so maybe they aren't hallucinating after all. (just using bad source info.)

That's wrong because even coders can't write code without vulnerabilities inside their own software...

You probably instead should use a throwaway computer (or VM if you trust them), and not do anything personal on that computer, and then burn it.

I thought they were the ones committing fraud ... either way you have to be crazy to subscribe to those services
I don't think I read the article... I think the article title dissuaded me to. (I read very few articles when the title suck.)

at least you wont get charged without your knowledge... which in the end, is the first step in getting this non-sense fixed, for a person... of course the government should fix it for everyone. This shit should probably be considered fraud anyways... companies get free passes all the time. My name (s9df898r32h) is my company, I should be able to steal whatever I want /s

Why are such large companies so incompetent though...

just use a virtual card and then change the spending limit to $0? or freeze it
Are there still laws in place that prohibit research using stem cells? That might not help

I doubt that clients block outgoing connections to Russian IPs though... so that shouldn't affect me too much.
maybe rename Gemini to Google? or Alphabet/X (whatever floats your boat) /s
Re:Serverless Horrors on Wednesday February 28, 2024 @07:57AM (#39537244)
have a look here: https://lowendstock.com/ ... mine is hosted in Russia... but I don't believe all Russians are bad because of a war.

I have had good luck so far on this site for my last 3 VPS', but check the ratings, I guess.

I pay $10/year for my VPS and host a WordPress Woocommerce store on it... It doesn't get much traffic, but it didn't take long to pay for itself either
Gemini is probably better than Google search...
