Spent a few more minutes looking at StopIce.net. It's bad.

They don't seem to want to ask for help with securing it, so I'll ask my infosec savvy followers with some free time to reach out to them.

Until then, I'd encourage people to not supply it with any personal or location data.

Two images from a CBS Austin weather broadcast. The first depicts the weight of 1/2" of ice on a 30-ft wide tree, at 7,125 lbs. The second image depicts the same weight in Golden Retrievers, at 109.5 dogs.

How many vets took mercenary work for a period because the US doesn't support them?

signal is the birth control pill of phone encryption, it’s 99.99% effective when used correctly. the only way to be 100% assured of fail-proof safety is to never use Phone, but abstinence-only education doesn’t work, so

People need to be crystal clear about something: The requirement that the government ANSWER to a court on the legal basis for detaining someone is literally the core liberty right (habeas corpus). If the government says they don’t have to do that bc β€œnational security,” YOU can be disappeared.

A screenshot of the MalΓΆrt merch store, displaying two items for sale. The items are a dog collar and leash each bearing the Jeppson's MalΓΆrt logo.

I'd jump at that opportunity. I'm sure, wherever it is, someone will want those of us versed in the legal side of tech/security/privacy.

Honestly, I hardly care about the rest of the benefits. I just appreciate that over here, I can see all the best unfiltered shitposts without first having to wade through so much shit.
