If I want you to see my webpages I’ll send you links or post them someplace relevant. That doesn’t completely stop sloperators and other scrapers but it at least slows them down. The more private pages are password protected or whatnot.
My great startup idea is workable at last! Monetize your spam!!
I think you can put multiple pictures in a comment.
Hard to pierce pseudonymity doesn’t interest me that much, because it’s bad enough having all your posts connected together.
I want something like 4chan (but heavily moderated), where all posts are just marked “Anonymous” and if you make 3 different comments, it’s not publicly shown that they came from the same person. It’s ok to retain the info privately for a short period, for moderation purposes. It could be ok to assign a persistent pseudonym for each thread, so if you comment 3 times in the same thread, those comments are connected to each other, but not to other comments in other threads.
This is a good article about the attractions of completely anonymous posting, though it’s from the pre-supertoxic internet era: https://wakaba.c3.cx/shii/shiichan
Jolene Blalock (T’Pol from Star Trek) is married to the Live Nation CEO. Another dream shattered.
Unified Push if you want to use the internet, though for important stuff I prefer to use SMS texts. For that you need a gateway. I’m still on vitelity.net and it’s ok, but I’d look at alternatives if I were doing it again. Twilio has lately gotten all weird though.
In the US, the cover (as long as it doesn’t mess up the song too much) is automatically allowed, as long as you pay what is called a compulsory royalty (a certain amount per record sold, or per audience member in case of a live performance). ASCAP and/or the Harry Fox Agency (iirc) act among other things as clearinghouses for these payments. You have to notify them ahead of time of the cover you’re releasing, and maybe pay something up front.
Normally if you seek permission from the publisher of the song you want to cover, it’s because you want to negotiate a lower royalty than the compulsory one. You can often do that if you can convince them that your record is going to sell a lot of copies. It’s just a discussion about money and business people are used to that.
If your performance copies from the original but is not a straightforward cover, then you do need permission ahead of time as the compulsory license doesn’t apply, with some limited free-speech exceptions for parodies.
IANAL bla bla bla.

Scrounge at flea market or thrift shop, $20 or so. Maybe no swivel, but if you want it vertical just rotate it or get two of them.
Anyone know anything about the new guy? It’s almost surprising that Orbán was willing to concede.
Spoiler: Adam Back, one of the usual suspects. Wake me up when someone acknowledges being Satoshi and proves they can access the original Satoshi wallets. Otherwise this is more guesswork.
Don’t pilots already do that?
I don’t think so. I’ve read the opposite and IME you learn not to sweat the small stuff. That helps a lot.
This has a LED, is that ok?
Well start with a few not-that-private letters to check for evidence of their being opened. What happens with ordinary email by the way?
I think it’s hard, and even if there is something that works, its use can probably be detected somehow, and that could get your family in trouble.
Tbh I’d probably use snail mail letters for anything private on the theory that the RU govt doesn’t have the resources to open all the envelopes, and you can use special phrases for particularly private meanings. All that stuff like media attachments is asking for trouble. You could also send microSD cards by snail mail though that might attract attention.
Remember that Osama bin Laden’s compound in Pakistan had no internet connectivity at all. If he wanted to send an email, he’d write it to a USB drive and have a guy on a motorcycle take it to a café 70 km away or something like that. Replies would be brought to him the same way. They still managed to find him and kill him in his bedroom.
Today with AI analysis of massive amounts of traffic logs, I’m sure signal ID is far easier than it was in 2011.
The 3 diseases:
The woman had a rare, life-threatening blood disorder, autoimmune haemolytic anaemia (AIHA), whereby rogue immune defences destroy red blood cells. … In addition to AIHA, the woman had two other autoimmune diseases. One, immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), is driven by immune cells destroying platelets, which raises the risk of bleeding. The other, known as antiphospholipid syndrome (APS), has an opposing effect and raises the risk of harmful blood clots. All three diseases were due to wayward B-cells which make infection-fighting antibodies.
Oh boy they were really good deals. I use one and have thought of getting another. I might get a carrier locked one super cheap since I only want it for local apps anyway.
I’ve self hosted with icecast and it was ok but definitely DIY. Maybe there are more packaged approaches by now.
The password pages still have visitors. They just have to know the password.
