baobabKoodaa··on Tell HN: Docker pull fails in Spain due to football Cloudflare block
You mean 1.1.1.1. DNS? Or do they also serve a VPN through that IP?

Anyone here who could reach out to specific persons inside Microsoft who could fix this?
baobabKoodaa··on Veracrypt project update
Can someone please explain the implications for current Windows users of VeraCrypt?
baobabKoodaa··on Microsoft terminated the account VeraCrypt used to sign Windows drivers
I don't think you can install VeraCrypt, at least for system encryption, unless the installer is signed
baobabKoodaa··on Microsoft terminated the account VeraCrypt used to sign Windows drivers
The biggest risk in encryption software is that you lose access to your data. You seem to be ignoring that risk completely and focusing on something else entirely.

baobabKoodaa··on Polymarket gamblers threaten to kill me over Iran missile story
> I agree. This involved should be investigated and prosecuted.

Cool! Since you know who the involved persons are (as you agreed with it being an "open and shut case"), why don't you let the rest of us know, too? And while you're at it, tell the police as well. I'm sure it will help their investigation!

Follow up question: have you tried smoking crack? Surely you should try smoking crack before you draw any conclusions about it being bad.
baobabKoodaa··on Dark web agent spotted bedroom wall clue to rescue girl from abuse
Imagine you or I sending a DM to some cuban dancer abroad. The probability of that leading up to engagement is basically zero.
baobabKoodaa··on Dark web agent spotted bedroom wall clue to rescue girl from abuse
Sure. But the prerequisite to make this possible is that wonen in general are very much attracted to dangerous men.
baobabKoodaa··on Dark web agent spotted bedroom wall clue to rescue girl from abuse
If you look at the dating history of typical abusive males, they have a long list of women who they've been involved with. In comparison, if you take the median male, their dating history involves a few chance encounters, one or two actual relationships, and a lot of struggle with loneliness. As a matter of statistics, women are very much attracted to abusive men, and not attracted to normal men who are not abusive. There is some level of personal accountability with that.

That is exactly what I'm saying! I'm saying this was a mistake (not intentional). Read my post again if you are confused.
baobabKoodaa··on I want to wash my car. The car wash is 50 meters away. Should I walk or drive?
This strikes me as the kind of logical error that you might get by lobo.. cough aligning the model to be more environmentally conscious. So now it tries to shoehorn some environmental talking points in there at the cost of losing its whole track of thought.

No. Read it again.

I don't know, man. How much of a distinction do you want to make between "literal anti-christ" and "literal legionnaire for the literal anti-christ"?
baobabKoodaa··on Amazon's Ring and Google's Nest reveal the severity of U.S. surveillance state
No marketing team would willingly do this and it's insane to think otherwise.
baobabKoodaa··on AI safety leader says 'world is in peril' and quits to study poetry
It's really hard to take people like this seriously. They preach sermons about the perils of AI, maneuver themselves into an extremely lucrative position where they can actually do something about it, but they don't actually care. They came to get that bag. Now they got it, so instead of protecting the world from peril, they go off and study poetry. LOL. These are not serious people.
baobabKoodaa··on Notepad++ hijacked by state-sponsored actors
Would you feel better if they had ended the blog post with corporate style assurances that Notepad++ is 100% secure?
baobabKoodaa··on The microstructure of wealth transfer in prediction markets
This is incorrect and tiresome to constantly hear as a go-to explanation for supposed market inefficiencies.

If I live in a country that is under threat of being attacked by U.S. it is nice to have a website where I can look to get a reasonable probability that the attack happens

Why does your child need 34 or 35 toys? She can be happy with just one or two toys.

I'm confused. When you say that hedge funds "price out" regular people, what do you mean? Price out of what?
