Yet another reason to also perform ad blocking at the network level (e.g. DNS). I’ve found AdGuard Home very easy to maintain. Using Firefox and Orion browsers too.

With a birth rate or 1.29, they will need to accept immigrants or face the consequences of a declining population. My guess is that in the end, the next generation of old folk will want taking care of.

Where can I find more information on this? A web search didn’t reveal much for me.

Do you think the IDF should put their soldiers at risk of attack from tunnel dwellers and snipers?

Jizyah wasn’t at the same rate as zakat and its rate wasn’t uniform. It was often used to humiliate, reminding non Muslims of their subordinate status under Islamic law

DNA tests aren’t banned in Israel.

This isn’t accurate. The majority of Jews in Israel are Mizrahi. The vast majority of them left the Muslim-majority countries during the Arab–Israeli conflict, in what is known as the Jewish exodus from Arab and Muslim countries.

I deplore the “lunatic” and also support any attempts of liberating the entire Middle East from the deplorable Iranian regime. So many of the problems of this region can be traced back to them.

I set up a Debian vps, installed Tailscale with ufw and fail2ban. I use this as my exit node. Costing around 2 euros per month. No blocking so far.

It doesn’t have to be. I have a proxmox homelab, running x86 openwrt in a VM. It has many other services running including home assistant. It idles at 3% CPU and consumes around 5w. I’m using a Levono thinkcentre.

Isn’t there separation of the control and data planes? I don’t think Tailscale get to see any of your network traffic.

As a fellow OpenWRT user who tried many DNS solutions including unbound, also consider NextDNS. They are pretty awesome.

Unfortunately, all the actual tea bags are usually plastic. The wrapping is probably a small percentage of the plastic in this product.

A smarter approach would be to run an experiment and look at what the data says. Just because you cannot think of any doesn’t make it so.

It may depend on what the script is for or the system being used. Segregation of duties is a risk mitigation principle of ISO 27001 to reduce fraud, waste, and error.

It may not be a hallucination. Perhaps the Copilot code was generated from the GitHub training set?
