It would be helpful if somebody could post what it looks for so I can add it to fail2ban. I tried opening up my website temporarily but it will cancel out if it doesn't find something at /. When I retry sometimes it also says it is blocked when clearly there is not anything in my logs so it is not retrying.

Clearly the Economist and their panel of experts.

So basically the same 5 men, considering that the Economist is the mouthpiece of the capitalist global oligarchy

Before we had facebook and iphones the only people that were able to run a home lab were technically adept. In 1998 I used Avantgo and Vindigo to browse the news on the train and find restaurants when nobody else could. In 2005 I remember running my netgear mp101 upnp player and everybody was impressed how I could stream music. Then we made things like iphones and facebook which got everybody on the internet, and we made all the “hard” things like music, video, news, reservations, etc.. a “service” – democratizing it (what a nice word). But for technical people it was actually shittier than just running it on your own. Not right away -- there was small overlapping period from 2005 to 2014 or so, where the pace of advancement of technology was complementary to hosting it yourself, but after the corporate monopolies got fully involved everything just went to shit. I think it has come full circle again, where the “technically illiterate” will just consume the shitty services, and will be happy or oblivious to it – they are actually serfs giving their labor/money away and they don’t care. The rest of the technical folks are just going to do their own thing again because we’re sick of the crappy services. And it will be better than the general public can ever do, just like 1998 again.

No it’s because lots of us grew up in the 70s with asbestos, lead, chlordane, ddt, etc… and we are still alive and thriving. We played with radioactive chemistry sets and even made our own plastic animals inside enclosed areas and loved to breath in the vapors : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thingmaker

PFAS is the least of our concerns.


Was it costing a lot of money or resources to say on X? If they got few impressions what does it matter? You can write the content once.

> Was it costing a lot of money or resources to say on X?

Yes.

> If they got few impressions what does it matter?

Because, it was costing a lot of money or resources to stay on X. Kind of an odd follow up to your previous question.

> You can write the content once.

Pretty sure they know how to write content considering we are reading it.


I’m pretty sure it doesn’t fit with the founders intention.

“We are creating a world where anyone, anywhere may express his or her beliefs, no matter how singular, without fear of being coerced into silence or conformity.”

Apparently X.com doesn’t fit in that world anymore.



1:1,200 scale vs 1:2,400 scale, or 9,335 square feet vs 1350 square feet.

Both are absolutely incredible. I find the growth in size numbers difficult to really comprehend even though the scale difference is an "easy" * 2. I wish I wasn't so so bad at visualizing things.


In New York the commuter trains use etickets and if you smash your phone you can just log into your account on a friends phone, but they track how many times you do that any only allow 3 switches. They don't say 3 switches in a certain period, it just says you can only log in 3 times and then the account is locked. After that you have to call them -- and who knows what....


How old are you? Some day you are going to get old and you won’t like that train of thinking.


Post the correct facts rather than arguing about the source. Here’s the most recent report from a “correct” source.

Read that and explain why the population is decreasing — the only point he made was that it was not.


Thank you. You read my post for its substance and interacted with it in good faith. You are a true HNer and if you are ever in LV, I will gladly buy you a beer.


The most interesting thing I learned is that we let people who need Zoloft on the ISS. The FAA will disqualify you for that unless you jump through hoops.


My guess is they stock it in case someone needs it during the mission. Not that they are sending people who are already taking it.


If somebody needed it during a mission it would take at least 2 weeks to take effect. Those drugs are not usually prescribed for acute mental issues.


People typically stay on the ISS for six months.
