Can someone ELI5 the difference between Usenet and torrents? From a pirating standpoint anyway.

From a protocol standpoint, my understanding is that downloading from Usenet is no different than downloading from a website, eg you download the file from one server vs the data being sharded across multiple peers.

You must explicitly, without any ambiguity, invoke your right to remain silent.

You can’t just remain silent.

Iirc the return address has to be within a certain radius. So if the return address in the same vicinity of the post office, they’ll return it usually. But bare in mind this is technically a federal offense if you do this knowingly. I don’t think they’d investigate a one-time thing but if you make it a habit, they could.

This one doesn’t work anymore. I did this accidentally because I had misaddressed an envelope very badly and decided to use a new envelope. I peeled the stamp off it (one of the sticker ones) and used glue to put it back on the envelope.

The post office returned it to me with a note saying that the stamp could not be used as the ultra violet mark they use to validate stamps couldn’t be seen through the glue.

This is talking about a lot more serious situations that don’t have a one-size-fits-all answer to them.

DON’T FUCKING TALK TO THE POLICE! YOU DON’T HAVE ANY OBLIGATION TO TALK TO THEM.

Just take the fucking L man. You’re trying to justify to people that it’s okay to talk to the police and there is literally no fucking reason to talk to them.

It is not your job to solve their crimes

It’s not your job to make their job easier

It’s not your job to make sure they have the right person

Your statements, however innocent you think they are, can and will be used against you. Doesn’t matter if you’re a witness, an innocent bystander, or criminal.

They are not your friend.

All cops are bastards. Full stop.

This is absolutely shit advice.

You are not obligated to talk to the police. The 25 word script:

• “Why did you pull me over?”
• “I’m not discussing my day.
• “Am I being detained or am I free to go?”

If you are being detained, invoke the 5th amendment.

Do not confuse their bigotry for illiteracy.

They want to control and punish “the other”. They don’t care that Project 2025 wrote this out. They don’t care that it makes them racists or Nazis. They want to punish those different from them.

They want this.

It’s used by Tony fucking Stark.

I mean, I can suspend disbelief that he is Iron Man and has futuristic fights with aliens

But I cannot believe that same man uses fucking Oracle Cloud.

From what I understand about witsec is that it’s incredibly compartmentalized. Unless the marshall actually reveals to the president where the witness lives, that information is inaccessible.

I was invited to a user group where oracle Linux was trying to get more adopters. The coolest thing they had was the ability to update a kernel driver while it was running. In place. Without downtime.

I asked them if they planned on pushing this improvement to the kernel devs and they just gave me a blank face.

Told me everything I needed to know about Oracle Linux. I promptly formatted the thumb drive they gave me for free.

Ignore him. He’s sea lioning.

This is about raiding Hispanic churches. You know for sure he’s not going to raid white churches.

You’d think this doesn’t work but it does

Netflix has done the math. They know they will make up the difference.

Actually that’s how I read this. So you’re already going to die. Might as well take out as many of them as possible.

In Minecraft.

And just like that, vigilante justice rises.

TIL Costco employees are unionized.

Good for them!

I have a breeding kink and …yeah, might have to add this to my rp prompts.
