Ah sorry that makes two of us then, I would of replied earlier but I had to find a dictionary to lookup the word machine. Pot kettle black lmao

Err lol no. Begging pitches would be private (private link) then rather than publicly promoted and searchable, I think you're getting confused with Facebook or email. Not always, but GoFundMe is actually the opposite of what you suggest, these people don't want to hit their own pocket, immediate family (auntie Jane) or close friends - although they are happy for them to "raise awareness" . GoFundMe has reach beyond your private social network. And no one is going to sue anyone, people want their campaigns shared, I wouldn't be surprisd if GFM have affiliate promotions.

>Raising this guys' specific Fund is similar to the media defaming you on international tv.

:facepalm:

Happens all over the world. I walked into a expat bar a while ago and there was a cash collection for Joe (not his real name incase I get accused of doxxing again lol), he just been diagnosis with some form of cancer (high chance curable) and needed to do chemo. I was like WTF? This guy has top of the range health insurance, a full time job and supportive employer, and sat on a healthy stack of savings and investments. I couldn't believe what I was seeing, it wasn't going to charity or for some gift, just pure cash. Joe is fine now, doesn't drink as much, the money went into his bank - Joe isn't a charitable person - he is actually a consistent cunt (but when someone gets the Big C that all changes and no one has anything but the best to say about them)

This is just an example I found. There's a new one everyday usually Thailand, Vietnam or Bali. Do you really think this guys close friends and family couldn't pony up $6000?

It's not doxxing, no copy and paste, I've linked a random public shared GofundMe page of yet another someone begging for money, put in search term accident in gofundme whatever. I could easily choose the next result in the list but I don't see the issue here, examples serve to illustrate the point. I had no knowledge of this guy before opening a new tab to find a recent example.

GoFundMe is comical, every day there is a new idiot asking for money for not buying (or invalidating) their travel insurance . Little Fred is sitting in hospital now with bills over $xx,xxx due to a motorbike accident whilst backpacking in XYZ, please give generously so Little Fred can keep his iPhoneX and his large family don't have to put their hands in their pocket.

Comical. No-https

I've easily done 48hrs without food many times in my 20-30s, but usually over weekend, lunch Friday, out on the beer Friday night and no dinner for some reason or other (shit or too fancy restaurant or weird people wanting to eat Sushi on a friday night). Saturday a football game or horse racing but you missed the breakfast start party due to hangover and can't be arsed with the sit down meal some have planned for the evening so roll on to nightclub with the next group. Sunday hangover, rollout of bed late afternoon and fast food (first solids in 48hrs), a few ibuprofen a bit later or sometimes codeine tablets if my back-pain suffering mate had too many spares, sleep, back to work Monday. Sure i'll reach 60 still. Not saying it's smart but people are too bloody scared about everything.

This aint a big issue. You dont have full disk encryption on a lightbulb so of course the wifi password is going to be recoverable. I often find it funny when asking for the wifi password in some places in asia when staff insist on entering it themselves so you dont tell freeloaders or chinese, the network manager prompt confuses them briefly but they continue, but then I turn around and say ah so coffee2019 was that difficult to communicate - shock. Even on windows it's a mere powershell command away

Probably something like the BBC, certain words are removed from the lexicon of main stream media.

Was hoping for a bit more diversity in Singapore - Seems only seven VPN nodes - leaseweb and M247.

There are some interesting parts in the videos that remain suspicious (kind like a lot 9/11) like the restricted fly zones over parts of the north/south poles where they claim the world ends, however they then take the scary hair guy from Ancient Aliens approach and clap their hands shouting "Therefore... it can only mean one thing..."

In europe it's more like $0.35 on a $100 transaction for standard personal Mastercards and Visa due to regulation, the rest goes to the issuing bank to cover their costs and card rewards, and to your merchant bank to cover their costs and risk of chargeback. In US and Asia the interchange fees are much higher due to lack of regulation, thus it's not unusual for small business to pay a bundled rate of upwards of 4% if little credit history

I've been to a few regional conferences so perhaps out of touch, but in those scenarios it's usually either yawn yawn buffet or in most cases a bag with some posh sandwich etc.. in with sponsor logos all over it. I get what you're saying but I can't help but start picturing a table cloth lunch with waiter service as you discuss the merits of the last talk over a fine wine on a table for two/three? perhaps this happens at build? strangeloop?aws:invent? How much of a ticket price is attributed to catering in either scenario?

"Attempt to ignore" Great question. So it uses hardcoded values of 8.8.8.8/8.8.4.4, unless it can't contact them by testing to resolve connectivity-test.google.com (or something like that), if it can't then it falls back to the DNS servers provided by your DHCP server/router. So to use smartdns with chromecast you have to both set your router to provide the SmartDNS servers and also blackhole 8.8.8.8/8.8.4.4 on your shitty ISP router (iirc static routes) - conspiracy? - i'll leave that to you? (the smartdns route is necessary since chromecast don't have their own VPN facility)

Possibly feasible with local netfilter/iptables rules or maybe userland proxy/rerouter. set /etc/resolv.conf to localhost:53, have that forward to 8.8.8.8:1053 or whatever, but without encryption it could be detected I'm guess with deep packet filtering (hopefully beyond the thoroughput constraints of eyeball ISPs)

I'm not sure Im following why is HTTPS going to cause a shitload more problems?

Is catering a big portion of the ticket price? Surely one can venture outside to nearest starbucks, pret, other-fancy-coffee-shop-5metres-away, and dozens of other eateries? Or the food delivery service apps. I'd be pissed off if shitty non-choice catering was going to eat into the ticket price more than 15gbp. Sponsors pay the booze after usually. So what's left after speakers, token tickets, and venue fees?

Oh and in the chromecast (non-ultra anyway), chromecast attempts to ignore any DNS servers supplied by your DHCP - hence why the watch-TV VPN's smartdns fails. Good luck rooting your Chromecast and chattr +i it's /etc/resolv.conf

Maybe. But it's trivial, for your ADSL/DSL/Fiber shitty $30 router to intercept port 53/(udp|tcp) bind it to it's own local dnsmasq or whatever and then send DNS onward to DHCP DNS servers supplied by your ISP. When I say trivial I mean I've seen it happen on several setups, old me - we'll just change the DNS on this box to bust the cache here to 1.1.1.1(CF)/8.8.8.8(EvilG) but still end up a shitty ISP dns servers (and their poisoned cache regardless). There's a reason for the push for DNS over HTTPS.

You think you're guaranteed to be querying 8.8.8.8 with "nslookup hostname.tld 8.8.8.8"?

Altavisa and astalavista for years! Astalavista was for your all your serialz, crackz and porn passwords back in the day of http basic auth and 56.6k modems

Possibly. Some are already rotting on the runways, at least two of Malaysia's A380 are just sitting there away from gate collecting dust everytime I fly out of KL (I think MH3/4 is still A380 though), there was plan to sell them to some middle east charter company and refit them in an all economy mode so they could take 600 people to walk around a stone chanting once a year - I doubt they could be refitted back to their former glory after this abuse. Also, hasn't Emirates parked many at a secondary airport too whilst they re-evaluate their schedules and deny pilot shortages? I can't find the article but if I remember correctly it was mainly A380, whilst the 777s were kept on the main schedule.

Shame, best economy class by far. 10 across on a 777 is tortue as is 9 on the new sardineliners.
