@maiyannah @neon probably not a good experiment to repeat. -

@jd @adam well yes, there is volume 2. But as a first approximation. They have great class consciousness and solidarity among the 0.1% -

That is, rate limits at the firewall level. -

So I've re-introduced rate limiting on !Freedombone to hopefully provide better DDoS protection. I can do something similar for the !postActiv debian install script.
The reason why I took out the rate limits originally is no longer relevant, and was Beaglebone Black specific. When I was first using it, kernel support was still in development and removing rate limits was part of a process of elimination for related bugs. -

@jd @adam the thing about these government-type things is that they usually have commercial implications. It may be better to consider governments and corporations to be the same entity with aligned interests. Different heads of the capitalist hydra. So some new rule blocks competition, generates new commercial activity (rented/burner laptops, etc). More rigging of the system by the same folks. The usual neolib game. -

One thing I have noticed about one instance - pawoo or its userbase seem to be creating completely empty accounts on remote servers just to try to pull content from pawoo there, I have just deleted over a thousand accounts on HLA and Plateia which only existed to try to bring content across our server block. Β Be aware, fediverse admins! -

@maiyannah @sina I'll look into it. I'm pretty sure in early versions of !Freedombone I had iptables rate limits, but took them out when trying to fix instabilities which were probably actually kernel issues. -

@maiyannah @sina I have rate limits on the nginx side and I think it can also be done at the firewall level -

@schestowitz !LineageOS might work on some of those u-phones. It's a shame that it's getting dropped, but I'm sure there will be other attempts to get GNU/Linux onto phones. There is SailfishOS, which I havn't tried. -

@tomas and as internet security slowly improves implanting the end points, via whatever method, will be increasingly attractive to the usual suspects. -

@orionwl yes, might boost low end laptop sales. Hmmm, I wonder who lobbied for these bans. There's a chin-scratcher. -

Some of these technocrats are amusing. The aftermath of 2008 was far less bad because of their intervention? Less bad for who, I wonder. Sure, it was great if you got bailed out. -

@thomask as conspiratorial as that sounds, you may be right -

So with all these laptop bans on aircraft I expect more international travelers will be going by ship or rail. Also it will create a trade in rental laptops for travelers, with all the security implications which go along with that. -

@xor I agree with all of this, but just to stir up hornets' nest a bit:
1. how about: "if you're not paying for it, there's a good chance you're the product"
2. we really have to start making #FLOSS users understand they *need* to support the software they're using financially even if there is no upfront price tag.

Most of those technology celebs seem pretty talentless, and to have gained notoriety merely by buying and selling things. -

So many cool things I could be doing, but proprietary crap is holding me back.
