I have also read a few articles about them back sliding a bit. Letting TERFs having more of a voice than you might hope.

Oh I did include the not, I just got distracted by a random dog trying to join me for breakfast while reading the post again 😅

I appear to have missed the word not out of that one.

That's not a thing I thought would happen, so I was very suprised when they asked.

It would indeed be nice, it's just if the new party pulls more of the decent humans out of Labour this may make things vastly worse. It feels like our lives are mostly ruled by the law of unintented consequences. In this particular case the consequences will be unintentional, but fairly predictable.

It's an entirely valid form of protest to work round this stuff and not comply. This is a terrible act of parliament that deserves to be roundly circumvented and mocked as that all builds pressure to to reform the bill. Or just change offcoms rules, as they left lots of wiggle room to define things.

Sorry to hear that Tilly, hopfully things will start to improve.

If we had a PR system, I would be all for this. However, we don't, so I supsect it will end up making our lives vastly worse than they are now.

Unfortunately, he still lost though. As much as he managed to get people to vote for him, he also inspired people to vote the other way. I think the party would probably do better if he was part of it but not its leader. Saddly I think the main thing he will achieve is helping to usher in reform

Hopefully, they can start a trend. It should be a thing we can just take for granted, but I'm very aware we can't.

Are there any the meet the grade ?

I have a VPS out in the US, I added it to my tailnet, and have set it as an exit node. So I'm now in the US, as I'm not putting up with this nonsense.

Or we just stop trying to break the internet for the majority, and get the people who made a choice to raise children, to raise those children and learn enough about the modern world to manage some of the risks for their kids. Oddly my kids can't just get on the internet unsupervised.

Unless it's something they really want, and don't want you to know about it, then the work around spreads like wildfire. There is a reason school firewalls porn blockers etc don't work

What its done is enshrine in law the existing social media networks at least in the UK. As no social media network with out the resources of Facebook etc can now start in the UK. The law has been written so wide it encompasses almost every thing.

It's all alot dark than that saddly. While the new legislation has good a good job of forcing of closing forums support groups etc (its why my BBS has not gone live). It has done little to nothing to protect children. They will just by pass this stuff tivially, its only really impact adults.

So it's vpn time then.

Just so that you know, this government did not create this legislation the last one did. They put it into law but set it up in such away that it would kickin a year or so later, and here we are a year or so later.

It is very reliant on the GPU to do almost anything so if you have any GPU driver issues etc it would probably cope very poorly in that scenario, or limited GPU ram. My gfx card has 8gb RAM and that's sufficient for everything I've thrown at it.

My experience with it has been the complete opposite, I've been using it for 5 years now, and it's not crashed once. I'm some fairly heavy stuff with it sometimes. I run in mostly under Linux but also sometimes windows, yet to use a MAC. One of the main reasons it's been successful is it's stability

We did have a neat trick with customers with their own mail server, when their mail server dialed in, radius would trigger a script than sent ETRN to our SMTP queue server, causing it to send all the queued mail for a domain to the cusotmers dialup IP. Worked so much better than using POP3.

We where struggling with 16 lines, and the Internet was taking off as 58k came available. The 2 old serial port boxes also got reinstalled with redhat 4.something (we stopped using slackware) and became the radius server, and smtp mail queue box respectively.

We had a similar setup at our ISP too, only using 2 machines, each with a RocketPort card (8 serial ports per card) and a rack of 16x28.8 modems. When 56k came out we swapped to a Livingston Portmaster 3, with 2 ISDN Pri lines giving us 60 channels. It was a big upgrade for us.

That would of happily served a large number of customers back in the day.

I have a cicso ASA, which turns out to be more populated with 56k modems than I thought. I originally thought the 2 cards where only half populated. However, having removed the cards for a video I discovered they where both fully populated. So 4x30 channels per card, giving a total of 240 56k modems

I could start my own dialup ISP, if there was still a phone network to connect it to

You've got to be that one nutter who gets in there first. One day my old router, modem and palm pilot collection will be worth something.
