“An investigation against someone I like is always a witch hunt” and other dumb-as-shit lines from the POTUS

Many DNS providers offer privacy options. They’ll put their own information in the WHOIS database and forward relevant stuff to you.

It’s possible to transfer a domain name from one DNS provider to another, similar to phone numbers. So stealing a domain name is as simple as initiating that transfer procedure. Many providers have a “lock” option (again, similar to phone numbers) to avoid these issues, but they still happen.

Of course you can challenge them legally, but you’re likely to end up in a costly legal battle. And if you’re a company who cares about their brand image, you’re more likely to pay the ransom (which is probably less than the legal fees anyways) and get it back quickly.

So yeah, if you don’t have legit info, you shouldn’t rely on it too much.

If you’re actually interested in a domain name while remaining anonymous, you’d want to get a subdomain instead. Try something like No-IP, which doesn’t legally require all your personal info.

Looks like bait mait

False dichotomy. A cookie can be chewy without being melty.

Now swap the images but keep the text where it is

Can confirm. Here in Canada, nobody works. We all sit at home and play video games instead. There’s no industry, no shops, no hospitals. Only video games.

I apparently haven’t had that issue. Are you using a @proton.me address, or your own domain? I’ve been using my own domain (set up with all the tricks they tell you to use) and it seems to go through without issue.

How dare they charge *checks notes* the same thing Visa and Mastercard charge everyone in our entire country for everything.

Kirby Superstar (SNES) is great for this, I play it with my 5-year-old. The second player plays as the “helper” character, and when they die, Kirby can create them again. It effectively plays like a “buddy mode.” That game is also one of my all-time favorites just for what it is, so I’m a bit biased.

Just put it on a USB stick. No install, no commitment. Baby steps.

Yeah, Joel Osteen has a special place in hell. The boiler room. All the way down.

The best records we have of Jesus’ teachings are the gospel books that are typically referenced. And there are enough references to Jesus of Nazareth in other texts to suggest this is what he was like and taught.

Jesus’ teachings on government and social structures are nuanced and difficult to apply to our human structures, because he proposed a government ruled by a perfectly good, benevolent monarch (which, in theory, is a great system if you can guarantee the monarch is really perfectly good). He preached a lot about “the kingdom of God” and contrasted it to how we do things on earth. So the point was never to provide a blueprint of how we should do government, but that there was something above all earthly governments that superceded it all.

Unfortunately, people have used those teachings in very bad ways (the same reasoning that the religious leaders used to kill Jesus). All of that to say–there are a lot of congregations that have more in common with the Pharisees than the early church.

Ironically, western culture today suffers from one of the same falsehoods that Jesus himself preached against: the idea that poverty is a moral failing. They believe that the rich are wealthy because they’ve “earned it” in some way, and therefore must be morally superior for their work ethic. Conveniently, this also allows the wealthy to keep a clean conscience–if everyone was as “good” as they are, they could all be enjoying this life too.

So with this mindset, all “good” people who are poor are just temporarily embarrassed millionaires–they identify with the rich, who actively abuse and suppress them, because they believe themselves to be part of the same “moral party.”

Not true–it’s still there, but it’s not SEO-optimized so you’ll never find it.

I’ve got Jellyfin running on an odroid, and it’s pretty solid.

Not sure if you’re the type to need access to your home network while away, but I also use a pi zero as my “login gateway”–I forward just port 22 to it from the WAN, and I have ssh set up to only allow logins with a key. I can set up dynamic port forwarding and tunnel through to my home network, and that pi zero has no other function (so even if I screw something else up on another server, I can still access my network).

Typically a web browser or dedicated app, but it’s open source so there are options. You might be able to stream directly with VLC, not sure.

This is Rocket League!
