    Clubbed British Captain James Cook right in his head, then stabbed him in the chest with a dagger traded from his own supply, in an attempt to stop Cook from kidnapping the islands chief.

    ftfy, not sure why one would want to frame it like this twitter user did, as some sort of uprising against an established and prolific oppressor. Those people did not let it escalate to anywhere near that.


  • Have you looked for providers that offer ETRN? Seems like that might fit your use case well.

    I’ve hosted my own email for over a decade with very few issues. It’s low ram and CPU usage so a very cheap VM (or a pair in different locations if you wanna be leet) can be a viable way to avoid the ISP related issues people have trying to host it at home. If you really want it all ending up at home you can do ETRN as mentioned and while TCP/25 is often blocked at home, the submission port (TCP/587) rarely is.



  • As much as I want to enjoy posts like this one, I always ask myself this and it takes the joy out of it every time. It’s just a nice fantasy that reminds me of the “Nobody in this room know I …” meme.

    It’s always “MAGAs are losing their minds over …”, but never any explanation or sourcing.







  • I must have been way out of it late last night. I totally missed that you were asking why people do it and not looking for recommendations. Sorry for the spammy nonsense response to your OP.

    To the latter question, I’ve seen devices that do OTP and FIDO in addition to basically storing arbitrary strings (e.g. your cc number).

    I get harassment scolding me for using Lemmy to advertise when I mention any of the products by name, despite having no affiliation with any of them outside of being a user, but they’re not hard to find if you look.








  • In addition to many of the fine points made in other comments I think it’s silly to overlook the power of celebrity worship and weird-ass parasocial relationships with famous people.

    There exists a large number of people who aren’t really interested in discussing <topic_x>, they just want to know what <favourite celebrity whos life I have deluded myself into thinking is attainable by me> thinks about the topic so that they can regurgitate it and feel like they’re “the same”.

    I’m sure if Chappell Roan or whatever “the kids” think is cool these days had jumped to Mastodon we’d be seeing something very different. TBH I’m mildly surprised that we didn’t see more record labels standing up instances. It’s always boggled me that people have just trusted the service desperately trying to be known as “X” as an authority on identity.

    I saw the lack of arm and facepalmed but I was half asleep poo posting so got over it :p (fixed now!)

    I’ve been using this device for ~5 years now, so my memory is a little hazy on it, but I’m pretty sure for the particular device I prefer (which is to say, I have nfc what the setup is for other vendors, which could be greatly superior) the AES-256 key used for encryption isn’t generated until you setup your first card.
