I am so proud of this community
Exposure on the domain owner may have been lesser if there were a fully-acknowledged clean win on election night, so it's not knowable for certain.
Speculating, it feels likely that it would have taken a little longer and could have been done more amicably, but almost certainly still would have happened. If you watch AdamcastIRL's interview with the domain owner, it's pretty clear that the situation was untenable with broken trust between the team running this site and the domain owner.
I have some sympathies with the domain owner's concerns, but once it got to the point where his level of control was just "I own the domain", not handing it over or selling for a fair price was very unprofessional. Redirecting the site records to 127.0.0.1 right after the admins started moving to the new domain is further petty and childish. At least the redirection target isn't actively malicious - there are far worse things that could have been done.
You can't just make claims, without proof, that local stations are propagandistic mouthpieces. This is extremely dangerous to our democracy!

The reason for that was the move to the shared communities.win single sign-on system. Same technical concept as "Login with Facebook" links you may find across the internet, although more simplistic because it doesn't need to be used with less-trustworthy sites.
If you watch your connections closely you'll see the sign-in data actually goes to authentication.win now, regardless of which Communities site you use.
If that was the event where the feds took over... well, I do believe we have consipracies.win, too.

The trouble with crypto is how little one can actually buy in tangible goods and services with it. It's shit at being an actual currency right now. The public nature of it also means that it's like posting your credit card statement in the town square.
As a store of value, it's a risk. Risks are manageable when understood though. BTC has the 51% issue where China collectively owns the network already and could make unilateral alterations to the blockchain ledger, but even apart from that, the highly unstable valuation makes it like buying a single high risk stock. Most (but not all) altcoins derive value from BTC. If you have spare cash and can hodl your crypto for a long time before needing it again as regular cash, it could work out great. Have multiple coin types and accounts at multiple exchanges in case there's a big selloff and logjam (think like the great depression bank run), but keep your own coin in your own wallets as there is already a rich history of exchanges "losing" their users wallets where they kept sole ownership of them.
As a Ponzi scheme, it's stellar. Easy to get in, easy to partially divest to hedge your bet, and barring the 51% issue, there is likely to be a good period of warning time to get out and not be the one left hodling the bag. To be clear, cryptocurrency is not actually a Ponzi scheme, but since it's solely backed by confidence with zero hard assets or threat of force, it needs to be treated as such.
If islamists can conceptualize taqiyya, commies in tech are more than capable of being deceptive.
We want the best to do their best work in pursuit of liberty. Big tech took a lot of competence to get big. But they will need extreme vetting.
Yes, many. However Cloudflare bends the laws on the good/fast/cheap rule and hasn't been nearly as fast to bend the knee as other major providers.
To put it in perspective, they protect Alex Jones's banned.video and The Pirate Bay's sites. The company stance on free speech goes right up to the CEO.
They should not be the only shield, but they have been proven to be unusually stalwart in a land of backstabbers.
Don't buy ethanol gas for the genny. It doesn't keep well.
Manual claim, which was manually approved. Anyone can start the claim, but they have to approve it.
Google's safe browsing is back from the "don't be evil" days, was mostly a good thing akin to having a fire diamond on a hazardous substance. Using it to suppress thought and speech they don't like and justifying it with the flimsiest claims they can find goes to show how much they've changed since then.
Still fiercely competent, but evil through and through.
The pictures were amusing evidence of depravity and Joe's failure as a father, but it was the texts and emails which had the proof of foreign business deals conducted to peddle influence for cash.
That was the important part. Quid pro Joe? 10% for the big guy? C'mon, man!
The "do nothing" administration was part of the original design. It is meant so that those who would seek power could scheme and rise to the highest positions only to find themselves individually powerless, and collectively mostly still powerless.
It's brilliant, but can't last forever on its own as some change must always be permitted to survive. Those mechanisms are unfortunately also open to attack. Malevolent people will always work against liberty.
Something something leaded fuel only.
What, like with a cloth or something?
Lobbyists. Legislation doesn't come from the government, they just vote on it. Swamp runs deep.
He had one good thought: technological innovation is going to eat up a lot of low-skilled jobs, and we should probably plan for that.
But holy shit has he proven himself to be a dumbass about everything else. A well articulated dumbass, but prosaic wordsmithing can't save you from stupid ideas.
Waiting is hard. Sometimes it's the hardest thing. Ask any musician to play it real slow -- no, slower, and they'll struggle unless they're true masters of their art.
But timing is everything.
Transhumanism is not the path to eternal life, it's the path to programmable consciousness and eternal slavery.
I'll take my chances between heaven, hell, and the eternal void before an upload. Free will is the final, most sacred freedom there is.
The only saving grace is how incredibly far off such a prospect is. We can see what the goal is, but it would be like giving Alan Turing the blueprints to a PS5 and telling him to get crackin'. This will be a fight for our grandchildren.
That's a login page for SolarWinds Helpdesk ticketing page. Not as exciting as Orion.
Orion is to an infrastructure monitoring and configuration backup/differencing tool. Usually chocked full of privileged account credentials for routers, switches, out-of-band admin interfaces and such. Gold mine for an attacker to breach, and the CISA advisory says that being breached it is.
The helpdesk is just full of people complaining about shit. Sticky keyboards and slow computers and whatnot.
SolarWinds is one of those companies that "acquires" to expand, so the software they sell usually has little inter-related code.
They don't give a shit about Biden. They don't even care about Kamala.
They want a puppet.
Decohesion of the family unit breeds a lack of trust for authority figures. 'Fuck you, you're not my real dad' becomes 'fuck the police'. Distrust begets distrust, tensions and violence escalate. The State upon which so many become dependent also becomes an adversary.
Somewhere in the fiery pits of hell, Karl Marx cracks a smile.
It's exceedingly recently that they found out how to get custom mRNA into a cell without setting off all the immune system alarms - a scant handful of years. In theory, a vaccine is a very rudimentary application of the technique.
I personally don't think it's extremely likely that we're going to get in much trouble from this particular iteration (only a hunch, take it with all the grains of salt you can find), but a successful implementation of custom mRNA really is opening the Pandora's box of bioscience.
We may witnessing the next steam engine in terms of impact.
It's between that and calling in an airstrike on ISIS. Absolute legends.
