Dyson's are overpriced pieces of shit. They are about gimmicks and often perform worse than other brands. What they lack in performance they make up in their advertising budget.

I personally have a Shark vacuum that I got on sale at Costco. It was $200 cheaper than the Dyson and much lighter.

It might depend on the VPN provider. If it's someone like Google, no way.

But Mullivad that has a proven track record of not keeping logs, that might be worth it.

I've also heard tor over i2p but don't know enough about the latter to have an opinion

The government is cagey about how, exactly, this criminal activity was unearthed, noting only that Herrera "tried to access a link containing apparent CSAM." Presumably, this "apparent" CSAM was a government honeypot file or web-based redirect that logged the IP address and any other relevant information of anyone who clicked on it.

It looks like a combination of bad opsec and clicking on a download link.

I know there has been some back and forth whether it's good to use a VPN with tor and feel like this is just going to open up that conversation again.

Chicken thigh with Roasted Vegetables

  • Pan fry chicken thigh, making sure the thickest part reaches 165° F
  • Season to taste (I recommend a pinch of kosher salt and a good helping of black pepper but that's just me. You can also go savory with rosemary sprig for the last 5 minutes of cooking)
  • While chicken is cooking, put chosen vegetables in a bowl, lightly cover with olive oil. Sprinkle salt
  • bake in oven at 400°F for 45 minutes

If you're feeling adventurous:

  • sear both sides of chicken in a Dutch oven (or cast iron)
  • while waiting, season vegetables as instructed above
  • once both sides of the chicken are sufficiently browned, add vegetables to the Dutch oven
  • Cover and stick it in the oven at 375°F for 30-45 minutes depending on how done you want your vegetables

If you use the latter method, be sure to cook the chicken all the way through. Vegetables will be soaked in chicken fat.

I've been on a low fodmap diet for a while. This is a really broad question without some parameters but I'll give it a go.

It also depends on what the goal of the low fodmap is (e.g. weight loss, diabetic control, etc.)

That said:

  • a quick and easy way is to assume all processed carbs are out. This isn't 100% true across the board but helps you draw a line somewhere. Processed carbs being things like bread, candy bars, pasta, etc.
  • nuts like walnuts and peanuts are great snacks
  • eggs for breakfast or if you want something more filling you can do oatmeal with some oatmilk. Not regular milk
  • for meals, do whole foods like a chicken thigh with some peppers or a lean steak with spinach
  • since you love potatoes, a great trick is to make a ton of roasted cut potatoes and put them in a container. Add them to dishes as you see fit. Even though I don't do low FODMAP, I still do this

I'm just waiting for Musk to sue all people on earth for either not having an account or for abandoning their account on Twitter.

They did a blog post about how the feds had made a second attempt to get metadata from them and they could only provide two fields of information: the date the account was created and the last time it connected to the service.

It's in the public record as well if I'm not mistaken.

Okay. Second question: where are you going to keep 24 liters of cat litter? Granted I'm no expert in communist units (and I'm way too fucking tired to look it up) but I imagine that's a lot, both in terms of volume and weight.

I'm pretty sure this will break the law of thermodynamics.

Is there anyway we can open source this technology? I'd love to surveil police and politician phones if possible.

So the MPA gives money to ACE to protect their copyright instead of investing it into a sustainable and equitable streaming service.

That just makes me want to pirate harder

I'll admit I kind of typed this without thinking it through. In a secured site, the password would be hashed and salted before storing in the database.

Depending on where you're doing the hashing, long strings might still slow you down. That being said, from a security standpoint, any gain in entropy by adding characters would be negligible past a certain point. I don't remember what that number is but it certainly isn't in the thousands.
