The other things politicians do, like in Illinois, is introduce one bill, and his other things within it to get things passed outside the normal channels. Like when Pritzker up and banned 170+specific firearms, ammo limitations, threaded barrels, and then started a registration process. Also repealed knowingly spreading HIV illegal, so anyone (by the sound of it-haven't looked into it much) can sleep with a new partner without disclosing HIV status. I'm assuming that's to appeal somehow to the LGBTQ community since the bulk of voters are the Chicago area, but some time he purely for just in time for elections.

You might think the firearms thing is OK as it helps cut down on crime. Nope, instead, there's cashless bail and softer policies towards criminals. We can't even accurately report those numbers based on how crimes or incidents are categorized. It's a mess.

He also just made it so that a bulk of the DOT funds go to Chicago roads with little left over for the remainder of the state... The tolls collected by the Chicago area are supposed to help that, but nooo, just keep reallocating funds around election time. Sure.

Ohhh, well... Yikes. I think they hop on board without truly understanding what they're signing up for. OR worse yet, they understand and are OK with it.

But you KNOW the masses will comply because they're told so. They don't want to break the law...

Please explain who this is! At the federal or state level? I don't know enough

And so the need to be kept important (or relevant) continues

I think Yunohost integrates fail2ban, too.

Remind me, is that 5th or 4th gen Intel? I'm thinking 5th, I seem to remember haswell-E (extreme) half gen coming out, which is why I'm stuck... but either way that's awesome! Coming up on 12 years solid! Just retired my 3rd gen and opted to take my 7th gen daily driver and replace that machine, and make a 12th the new daily. Last year, so prices were a bit better. Didn't have a use for that 3770K though anymore unfortunately.

I was under the impression "air-gap" doesn't apply to browsers, as you'd need to not have an outside internet connection.

Dual boot your current one so you have a choice to learn Linux at your own pace! Still have w11 for a fall back just on case.

Not true, ordering companies to block DNS when they don't "operate" (hosting servers) in France, it'll likely do nothing. Just like the US going after non-US companies. They don't have to comply. Quad9 I would especially think wouldn't comply since they push for an open and private internet. Google will probably comply because they're Google and still want everyone's data they can get.

Dude, just... No. Nobody is killing DNS. You can't remove that integral part of the system without a strong replacement worldwide.

"We'll have to ask the IP of the website we want to visit" Ask what, exactly? DNS is the resolver of domain name to IP, so unless everyone's going to keep a spreadsheet of the IPs they want to visit, you need DNS.

I just kind of forego any content. I used to watch silly stuff like the Electroboom guy, Linux Tech tips A LONG time ago when it felt more personable and meaningful. My son watches carwow or something, doing car comparisons sort of how Top gear used to, but I'm not into it as I can't afford those nice cars lol.

Tech review stuff gets under my skin bc it's so much promotion of sponsors, their channels, and they're always begging for likes and subscribes... 🤮 plus they're often biased. I know there's a large audience to cater to but I feel often times I'm more, product and feature aware than they are, but I'm also obsessed with technology, FOSS, self-hosting, etc.
