I hope you are well and having a good Easter! This is a quick note with two updates: GDPR and CPRA requirements now ask that we require consent for third-party cookies, which we do use to serve the advertisements that support the upkeep of the site. You will therefore be presented with a confirmation box if you live in the EU, UK or California so that we are compliant with this legislation. There will be some downtime for the site on Tuesday 11th April starting from around 9am UK time (presently GMT+1), and lasting for approximately 2-3 hours. This is to facilitate some much-needed software and hardware updates. Please do let me know if in this thread if you're having any issues with the cookie notifications or have any other queries.

Did you miss the part where Mueller himself wrote to Barr to complain that Barr was understating the seriousness of the report. How can you say that Barr was correct, when the person who wrote the full report didn't think he was? And just to touch on something else: While he may have violated Federal campaign laws and could be charged on the Federal level for them, New York has its own campaign laws that he could be charged with violating. And this isn't an either/or situation. He could be tried in Federal and State court for the same thing at the same time, if it violates both Federal and State laws. So, New York can pursue a case, even without a Federal one, unless the Feds come in and assert privilege. Now, is the New York case the weakest of the major cases against him? Yes. But, from what I've heard, from people who understand the law better than I do, is that it isn't as weak as they thought it was prior to the charges being revealed.

This is about the best I can think of as a quick way to grow stuff, but it's not the same thing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_garden In principle, it should be possible to make a system that drives carbonated water through crushed limestone and then let that solution lose CO2/ evaporate and deposit CaCO3.

Macro scale acid? What does it mean?

I've added a new plugin to try to address the recent surge in spam - we'll see if that works!

Do you have SSH access to your VPS? Which distro on VPS? What storage? Do you have a local Linux installed on some physical disk? Which distro? Do you have a Linux Live pendrive? If none, then get 4 GB-16 GB fresh pendrive (it will be erased). $4 in the shop here for 32 GB, the smallest one is enough. Only 4GB will be used anyway. Download the latest Kali Linux Live from: http://old.kali.org/kali-images/kali-2023.1/ e.g. wget -c http://old.kali.org/kali-images/kali-2023.1/kali-linux-2023.1-live-amd64.iso wget -c http://old.kali.org/kali-images/kali-2023.1/kali-linux-2023.1-live-i386.iso (verify checksum!) On Windows you can use Rufus https://rufus.ie/en/ to erase pendrive and write ISO on pendrive. On Linux you can use dd command. Once you have terminal running use ssh login@domain (you don't have to have domain registered - VPS have public IPv6 reverse domain and perhaps public IPv4, some companies sell IPv4 for additional money per month) enter your SSH password to VPS (should be in the e-mail after purchase, or web control panel) Once you're logged on your VPS: sudo apt update sudo apt install apache2 service apache2 start (eventually "systemctl start apache2") nmap localhost should show you that TCP port 80 is open. Then use http://domain or http://vps-domain-name to see if HTTP server is working (the website HTML is in /var/www/html the most likely. ls -l /var/www/html to list files. You need sudo to edit the file e.g. sudo nano /var/www/html/index.html ) sudo apt install tor proxychains4 service tor start (eventually "systemctl start tor") nmap localhost should show you that TCP port 9050 is open (but it is open LOCALLY on VPS, not globally!) (edit settings to open it globally, but then somebody can abuse it for you) From home you can get something like that: └─$ nmap domain Starting Nmap 7.93 ( https://nmap.org ) at 2023-04-08 07:10 UTC Nmap scan report for DOMAIN (IP) Host is up (0.13s latency). rDNS record for IP: DOMAIN Not shown: 997 closed tcp ports (conn-refused) PORT STATE SERVICE 22/tcp open ssh 25/tcp filtered smtp 80/tcp open http Now, when you want invisible access to Tor network on a remote server from home, you use: ssh -L :1234:localhost:9050 login@domain Then in Firefox > Settings > Network Settings, Proxy, set SOCKS Host to localhost and port 1234 From now on, when you go to Firefox, it will try to connect to localhost at port 1234, ssh will tunnel it through encrypted SSH port 22 to VPS server, which will then use Tor network for further world.. You can use apache2 as proxy server too. https://www.google.com/search?q=apache2+as+proxy+server It won't be as safe as SSH+Tor, but Google and other services should work. (Google and other social medias hate Tor, Proxy, VPN and want to steal your identity.. therefor all these "verify by text message", "verify by phone".. etc. etc.) If you want to go this route, you will need some sort of SSL certificate.. (Let's Encrypt is free, so it is most likely very insecure ) You can make SSH tunnel between home and VPS to your Apache-Proxy-Server: ssh -L :80:localhost:80 login@domain Then in Firefox > Settings > Network Settings, Proxy, set HTTP Proxy Host to localhost and port 80 It won't need SSL certificate and will be much more secure. (and going that route, you don't need to have exposed HTTP proxy server for other people, sooner or later some bot will find open proxy-server and everybody will use it, better if you connect to it through encrypted SSH by localhost address and local port) Verify if you have some random IP address on https://www.whatismyip.com/ or similar stuff: https://www.google.com/search?q=what+is+my+ip Check your VPS traffic daily.. For people with money, there is Skylink from Musk.. It is damn expensive TBH.. To configure it for you? Or to teach you entire Linux?

This is just a 'warm-up', and will not result in jail time. The election overturning case in Georgia and the federal Jan 6 case are much more likely to actually land him behind bars. I hope H Clinton has her sign reading "Lock him up" ready to go.

It's about US$10,000 per pound to bring a payload into space, a finger weighs about 1/3 pound, so it's about $3333 vs the cost of dry ice.

No, space would be terrible. You would have a freeze dried body part.

I've noticed that the current spam posts appear in quick successions. Is it possible to limit new members to 1 post per 10 minutes for the first day? It would take about an hour to post the 5 allowed posts.

The first thing I would like to know is what is a soul? Can a human body be alive without a soul? Are there lots of souls waiting for bodies? When does a soul enter a body? Can a soul enter more than one body over the lifetime of a soul? Where do souls hang out when they are not in bodies? Do souls associate with nonhuman bodies?

This is a 20 years on edition with some additional material and comments.
