  • I mean, finding ways around that is the whole point of Posts like this one?

    Personally, I use different browsers for different purposes on a rando Android phone(+vpn for torrents). I watch this community to try to stay abreast of current privacy/security issues, but I don’t make much effort to live it, as I’ll go dark long before I’ll really have anything to hide.

    Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to go bitch at the librarians again, for disposing of the microfiche after they digitized it.





  • Shiiit … I’m just over hear in the midwest US, slightly relieved to learn that Crypo.com is based in Singapore.

    That said, how the hell is Europe still guzzling this cloud kool-aide? Is a Jelly-fin, LDAP/etc, and/or Database server really so much more than cities of millions’ infrastructure peeps can wrap their minds around?

    Oh right, ars is US-centric. The point of the article is to make the EU sound like helpless morons. Guess I might have to edit this comment after I read the article … nevermind, any additional nuance is down to the number of words they spent saying little of consequence. The myopia is more big-tech and cloud-centric than anything along national lines.


  • The divisions in the red symbol remind me of the Tigris and Euphrates, one from the North and one from the East, nearly meeting around Bagdad and both contributing to a nearly-singular green belt from there South to the Persian Gulf.

    I’m not sure, but the Sunni, Shia, and Kurds may be distributed in a similar pattern, allthough not-at-all deliniated by the rivers.

    Apparently an eight-pointed star is a powerful symbol in Islam, but exaggerating the points like in OP’s flag is not something I’ve seen in that context.

    I would second the idea that an Iraqi flag without green doesn’t sit right. Its literally the only color in their current flag I could tell you the meaning of.
