Is there any point of making an onion service if your clearweb site doesn't block Tor? Maybe just to reduce pressure on exist nodes?
onion nodes block

least often elsewhere. Posts are matched on those words alone —

It's isn't just to people with ADHD that this happens. Some tasks inherently take a certain amount of time. An appointment that breaks the afternoon into two blocks of time could leave you with no block long enough to complete a task.

omg today I went for a run and was able to breathe entirely through my nose. this has literally never happened or even come close to happening before in my life. I’ve never run a block breathing through my nose Quoting @noampomsky my allergist told me fixing my dust mite allergy might help my shrimp allergy so I decided to truly put ILIT to the test today by eating a shrimp salad accidentally served to me.

Making trade deals with EU is good for Canada. Anything beyond that is just anchoring ourselves to a block who’s economic ambitions aren’t much higher than being an “open air museum”.

Starlink pays ~$15 million in COGs for a Falcon 9. They fill it ~ completely since they optimize for F9. Even assume $20M COGs. Third parties pay $74 million retail for a F9 and can't fill it (3P payloads ≠ F9 optimized). Most people block this out; Retail price ≠ COGs! Related

the best teacher you had, like everybody remembers the one or two teachers who changed their life. It wasn't because they marked up your paper really well. That wasn't what did it for them. It was because you had some block. They saw you and they convinced you you could do so much more.

the number one motivator to get rid of a block. It's actually not the guy as the the biggest one. The number one thing that convinces kids they can do something is watching their classmate do it.

RE: https://infosec.exchange/@clayton/117175171619298911 It's OK. This feature is awesome, and one I use heavily. Every social network needs a few mutes here and there. Nobody inherently deserves anyone’s attention. If someone replies in a way that makes me think, "I'd rather not hear from this person again,” I just mute forever. No aggressive block, no report or feedback, no way for them to know. It's not meant to send a message, get revenge, or influence anyone else — just tailor my feed for me. Related

Most people have never heard of siRNA, but it’s going to change the face of medicine. https://t.co/RLP1pxuICA Much drug development today involves developing chemicals to fit into proteins and block them. But this almost never turns out as planned: many drug candidates get broken down in the body, interfere with other proteins and cause toxic side effects, or fail to be absorbed at all. The majority of proteins are considered undruggable, because they lack a pocket for drugs to bind, or they are ‘intrinsically disordered’, without coherent structure. What if, instead of trying to block the pr… worksinprogress.co

if you treat computing as this onion where you just keep peeling back the layers, there's always something interesting behind the scenes. And the more of those layers that you can peel back and understand, I think in some ways the better you can optimize for that world.

Trust by Hernan Diaz is an onion of a novel in which every chapter peels back a layer to reveal yet more beneath. Following the meteoric rise of a Wall Street financier in the early 20th century, the intricately plotted story will seduce you, transport you, stimulate you, mislead you, and, ultimately, move you.

Started goofing around with mesh radios. Delighted to discover the tech immediately bifurcated into a slapfight between two competing protocols as per the ancient and sacred nerd traditions. Not having much luck with either of them to be honest. I can see lots of #meshtastic nodes from my home, but can't reliably communicate with any of them, and public channel is mostly silent. Not enough #meshcore coverage in my area for a fair try. Anyone else meshing in Portland? Related

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
