This. You've got to ask yourself, what your goal when interacting with law enforcement is. It it your goal to stand up for every right? Or do you want to get away for the interaction as easy as possible?

Let me give you an example of what I mean. I Denmark police can stop and ID you without a cause. You don't have to provide an ID, but you have to state your name, address, and birthday. If you don't, then you'll be arrested. Our SSNs consists of birthday and a checksum. You're not required to state your SSN checksum, but if you do state it, the police will have to pay you if the stop is longer than 10min.

So giving the police a little more than they're entitled to, can get you out of the interaction a lot easier.

Of course you can stand up for your rights, and if you want to fight, then do it. But it will make your day harder.

We're so focused on electronics here, but this part can save your ass:

Bring a small new blank paper note book you can keep in a pocket with a small pen or pencil

The following is translated from the meager tactical training I've received: Emphasis on the pencil being small. You definitely don't want a full size pencil in your pocket if shit hits the fan and you get tumbled.

Maybe get a waterproof notepad. But make sure that you can easily rip out pages. Use a single sheet for all the info you don't want the police to have (like all the other burner phone numbers and such) That way you can rip that sheet out and swallow it, if you're about to be captured.

Also, about the scarfs. I don't know about the US, but at least in my own country, it's illegal to use a mask at protests. Meaning a mask would get you singled out and targeted by law enforcement.

IDK which states either. But I'd venture a guess, that sorting states by percentage of MAGA voters, would have the 8 states in the top 10.

How about locking all the advanced functions behind a hardware lock that requires an online key to unlock? Besides getting an IP address for geolocation, this approach would enable manufacturers to put a subscription on the features as well. Require users to provide a government issued ID that matches the name on the credit card used.

VPN! I hear you cry. But the driver is already running pretty close to the hardware, so good luck hiding a VPN client.

So while you can't guarantee a street address accuracy, you can get country and overall regional subdivision.

Only if you pay them

Add to that, that most homes have multiple devices that you want connected. So you need a fiber switch as well. 150usd will get you a mikrotik crs305, with 4 sfp+ ports. And you'll probably want a router, but perhaps you can offload that to your ISP, kinda like routing on a stick.

My gay conversion therapy service is basically just me breaking into your house and taking dump in your laundry basket.

They asked chatGPT for a business plan and it gave them hallucinations and half a business plan for a non-profit coalmining organization.

Thx, for the heads up. The only reason I'm not typing this on a motorola g85 is because I got distracted when I was ordering it. Now I've got to search for a different brand.

This is 100% bullshit. Zero of this is accurate. Cinnamon IS a fork of gnome 3 but that's it

Don't lie on the Internet for attention. It's embarrassing

Uh dude, did you notice the "/s"? It's not lying, it's sarcasm

There's no less than two GUI for that setting, because the two devs got mad at each other and forked it. Only one GUI actually work, but it's not the one that your distro ships with. Once you manage to compile the right GUI, you'll find that in your version, because you didn't get the optional libs from an obscure Russian website that's been static since 2007, it only works if you run it right after killing the screensaver timing process. Otherwise you have to edit an undocumented .config file, and do it everytime you reboot your system... Unless you remember that there's a special variant of vi to edit the screensaver config file.

I love Linux, but sometimes I don't feel the love go both ways.

Ah no biggie, you did come off as someone with a bit different way of thinking.

Thanks for clarifying
