Look at how Mexican narcobloggers do it. Many of their sites are hosted at places like Blogger. They keep backups of everything they write (those sites let you download site archives from your control panel). They access everything over Tor using TAILS. They delay what they post compared to what happened, to make it more difficult to correlate who was within range of an event (i.e., witnesses) and when they posted it. They don’t post from home but go elsewhere.

They don’t tell anybody they’re narcobloggers. At all.

Thank you very much! I never could keep this straight in my head.

I get that. That is specifically the reason they uninstalled Signal and started using FB.

How many other folks did that?

Pretty normal reaction after the announcement that Signal got rid of SMS support. A bunch of folks I used to talk to read that and ditched Signal entirely for FB Chat.

I think that was done by somebody who knows the corporate culture, and further knows what can be gotten away with.

You might want to look at some of the open source RPG rulesets out there to get a sense for what there is. That’ll help you come up with a set of internal rules (i.e., how the MUD actually implements game mechanics) for your game engine.

Two possible mechanics that just came to mind would be Nd6 (roll some number of d6) (which goes all the way back to Illuminati by SJG) and blackjack style (closest to some difficulty without going over) (Eclipse Phase implements this with d100, and leaves a lot of wiggle room for modifiers).

You might want to reconsider patronizing Sticker Mule, especially if you’re family.

Businesses love Dropbox because orgs can be set up and central management of accounts is possible.

Locks keep honest people honest. That’s about it.

Pretty much. Just don’t post how much oil your home country has.

It isn’t so much parents shirking responsibility as folks in power doing what they want and just saying parents demanded it. When actual parents want something there’s a lot more hue and cry, hearings, and suchlike. When there isn’t, dig a bit and you find convenient lies and excuses.

The US likes to throw its weight around. Today it’s websites inside the US the tighty righties are afraid of. Tomorrow it might be one of yours; just like the GDPR has caused a lot of USian websites to be even more annoying, USian legislation might do it to non-USian websites next.

You might also want to force an fsck on your next reboot.

I had a lot of success with this: https://phonegenerator.net/

The use of Tor does show up on the network. The protocol is known and understood, and has been in the detection sets of pretty much every layer 7 filtering product for the last ten or eleven years. What, exactly, is being accessed is largely concealed (but traffic patterns give away a reasonably broad picture of what’s happening).

Private browsing is a fig leaf at best.

Portable Firefox is hit or miss, depending upon the work environment. It’ll definitely show up in file system monitoring, might show up in the logs of the border proxy as an unexpected user agent. The initial download will definitely show up. Removable media might or might not, depending on how group policy is set up.

And that’s with shipping included.

Same folks who used to send lots of money to televangelists.

This.

Better drivers.

The last time I actually tried anything with Redhat I was trying to build a file server with RHEL v6.8 on a circa 2014 Dell. Absolutely zero support for the drive controllers. It felt like installing Linux in the mid-1990’s. I gave up in frustration after two days and gave Ubuntu 16.04 LTS a try. As far as I know, that server’s still chugging away with 98 terabytes of storage at that office.
