Dang. That's nuts but seems right for teenagers lol. I ask because the same thing happened at CMU in like 2002, but it did make the papers. The whole city turned it into a fucking thing.

It wasn't CMU, was it?
I don't even understand what is so offensive about flag burning. It's something teenagers and sheltered young adults do as a feeble form of symbolic rebellion. Genuinely, who cares? It's not like the flag has some kind of mystical power. It's not the original version. 9/10, it's just a cheap copy that was purchased specifically for that demonstration.
I'm a grown man. Why the fuck do I care about teenagers skateboarding in the church parking lot? I got my own problems.
You are correct, but I just want to mention that the guys operating botnets are not usually the smart ones — they're just the skids who are have the patience to actually do social engineering and phishing, or coming up with clever stuff to hide malware in.
A lot of the time, the operators of these large networks are caught simply because they didn't think they needed to hide the IP, MAC or Hostname of the orchestrating machine. Sometimes it is as easy as supoening the purchase records for an off-the-shelf VPS. One time, an operator was caught because a text file captured that it was encoded using a very specific country keyboard type.
Isn't this basically the same sweetheart deal that Epstein got originally? If memory serves, he only had to sleep at the jail; he was free to leave during the day and do whatever.
I guess, but you will lead a lonely life if you can't find common struggle with people in different scenarios than our own. We can easily lose our soul with these endless purity tests — for some reason, Leftists, progressives, and liberals seem to be constantly on the lookout for the next Jesus Christ, who will just simply energize voters by consequence of, I dunno, magic or some shit.
Neil Young is still a working musician who needs to get his face and music in front of as wide and as general of an audience as possible — why wouldn't they be where people are? That's what makes this stand so important. Homie needs Facebook and Insta and still said no.
Well, it's not like Ted Nugent is writing any new music. He probably doesn't have anything better to do anyway.
I dunno who is even still stealing copper considering that a lot of yards are asking for proof of ownership before they accept it. Copper-nabbers are opportunistic, and won't take the time to forge an original invoice.

i just wanted to drop my personal favorite self-hosted git alternative, Gogs (gogs.io). i have very modest git needs (i just need a place to host code and interact with the git client), and i think it fits the bill well.
i am not associated with it at all, i just want folks to know that self-hosting your own git service has really never been easier or better; there are so many good options, like a similar project, gitea.
if you are uncomfortable with exposing your home network to the internet, you can use tools like tailscale funnel or a reverse proxy server like caddy and a $5 VPS from any cloud host of your choosing to obscure your home IP, while still keeping the storage and the brains somewhere closeby.
imo, the only way forward for all of us to stay safe is to keep repeating a simple mantra: “let’s go back to making websites.”
Makes sense when even adults use phones as a means to escape even a moment of boredom. How many adults use their phones while driving? That's one of the most mentally stimulating things I can think of, and people get BORED.
