According to the authors of the 14th amendment, the citizenship clause was meant to be retroactive, to right the wrongs of slavery, not a forward motion statute for the world.

sarcasmatwork··on U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat
Incorrect.

"Clinton has said that she never used her personal email to send information that was marked classified at the time, although some of her emails had been retroactively classified.

Comey says that's not true. Of 30,000 emails Clinton turned over to the State Department in 2014, FBI investigators found 110 emails containing information that was classified at the time the email was sent. Eight of those were top secret, the highest level of classification."

"Another 2,000 emails have been retroactively classified since they were sent, Comey said."

No, they did not take back what they did. They still defend him. They are NOT defending his puns. Two different subjects. Stop moving the goal post, take the L.

You just proved my point, thanks. Citing two known sources of lies and lack of credibility.

The ADL even backed Elon defense, saying "It seems that @elonmusk made an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm, not a Nazi salute, but again, we appreciate that people are on edge.”

Why is that? He's not a Nazi, or support that kind of stuff, yet so many believe it? Has left leaning media pushed a false narrative again?

Do you know about VW? Why is no one burring those?

EV's were pushed by the left, now they are bad? So burn them.. what about the environment?

>The detainees have to be flown by a government transport at taxpayer expense.

They were flown across the country by the previous admin, costing money. NY Housing illegals costs millions the tax payers have to pay. Sanctuary cities force people to pay for illegals. Do you hold the same concern with "taxpayer expense" in these other cases?

The reason behind is here:

"We don’t want illegal criminals in the United States any — not a minute longer than they have to be,” he continued. “Move them off to Guantánamo Bay, where they can be safely maintained until they are deported to their final location, their country of origin, where they are headed."

"Hegseth noted that he served at Guantánamo Bay and is familiar with areas that can house 30,000 migrants. He also said the military prison “has long been a place for migrants,” adding, “In fact, in the 90s, tens of thousands of Haitian and Cuban migrants staged there as part of a crisis.”"

sarcasmatwork··on Ask HN: How to properly secure a server?
>should I use PSAD or CrowdSec?

Use a free solution, never used these. Are they even current?

  -ssh is a way to access the server (pub key is preferred way)
  -ufw is a frontend to iptables
  -fail2ban blocks based on regex rules. (needs tweaking)
For web, you'll need port 80, 443 open, and a port for ssh, default is 22. I would change ssh port to something higher as there are many bots that scan all of these known ports.

Monitor your logs, and check for activity. access.log, syslog etc.

Small note,

"first time in over 20 years, the Los Angeles Times will not endorse a candidate in the upcoming 2024 presidential election, a decision reportedly directed by the paper’s owner, Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong"

sarcasmatwork··on Ask HN: Is it wrong to use my personal laptop for work?
Yes.

Always use the work laptop, don't ever use your personal. If the work laptop is not powerful enough, it's the duty of the company to give you something that has enough memory, disk space etc. If not, run away from said company.

sarcasmatwork··on Show HN: Interested in an automated fact checking service?
> We search for relevant results from research databases, reputable news sites and searches on the web,

What sources do you use to "fact check" ?

Do you know what circular reporting is? How do you handle it?

How would this service handle the Hunter Biden laptop story for example. Once considered Russia disinfo by MSM and many spies is now known it was not disinfo and Hunter really did leave the laptop behind and the info on it is fact.

There is already a few "fact checking" sites out their that are very biased. For example snopes took years and after the election to to finally confirm Trump Did Not Call Neo-Nazis and White Supremacists 'Very Fine People'. The timing to confirm this took too long.

I'd say this is an interesting topic, so I'm very interested in your thoughts and how to handle. Thanks!

sarcasmatwork··on Ask HN: How to deal with the anxiety of promoting your own open-source project?
Have private or more limited demo's and take in feedback thru a survey or other means.

Don't take the feedback as personal or attacks, but as advice to make your "thing" better.

>I'm feeling overwhelmed by the thought of self-promotion

Just use a 'Show' tag, you'll be fine.

> I'm also constantly checking how many visitors I have or how many stars I've received.

Why? Spend your time working on the code, or "thing" related like docs and not worry about things you can't really control.

Good luck!

sarcasmatwork··on Ask HN: How to get started 3D printing on Linux?
Having been in the 3d community for just over a year, I can share some suggestions and thoughts.

1) Bambu Labs X1 Carbon (X1C)

The X1C was my first printer, and now I have two. My research led me to the Bambu X1C as it was the most automated plug and play printer without much hassle. With it's design I could also print with alot more types of filaments. I've been very happy my printer, I got a 2nd a few months later. I have over 400 hours on each printer without any issues. I've printed many 3d parts for the printer to make it last longer and provide a better experience.

You will need a slicer program to go from 3d model to 3d printer. I recommend the Orca Slicer.

https://github.com/SoftFever/OrcaSlicer

2) 3d Design is through 3D Software. Fusion 360(free depending on license), FreeCAD, OpenSCAD

3) Many sites to download models and print. Reach comments as the author may give tips for printing.

    https://www.printables.com/
    https://www.thingiverse.com/
    https://makerworld.com/en/models/categories
4) Filaments

I'd buy a ton of PLA, and test. Then start buying the type you need for the project.

Good luck!
