At last it’s only long enough to verify and not using 3rd party like Persona.

“To make sure the Porkbun ID verification process is secure on our end, we only retain ID verification submissions for 15 days to provide enough time for them to be reviewed and processed. After that, submissions are deleted and Porkbun no longer associates any of this process with your account, other than that you passed a Veriff ID verification.”

No shit?! For porkbun?? On an existing account? I’m in a different state as they’re in Oregon, so maybe the laws are different, but I hadn’t heard anything about them implementing ID stuff 😮‍💨

🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮

No, I didn’t even realize they made a robot for that. I thought about a power washer and wet/dry vac next bc I would like a new vac for the cars.

Kärcher RCV5 ftw and I’m in the US. It’s a German company, and when I saw how good their industrial automated stuff was at work, i was sold! No, I swear I don’t work for them. But of all the automated tech I’ve watched at shows and demos, their stuff was beyond the competition.

For anyone privacy-focused, I also went this route as all communication is done to German servers within the app, not US based, so privacy is a lot better!

I made fun of AI. Bot banned me. Def banned with IP cuz using a VPN on a backup device was fine. However, I figure if they’re that petty to ban, then fuck them! I had 150k+ karma over 10 years. Sad to lose the maker communities, and tech swaps, but whatever. Fucking BS.

Couldn’t you use a 3rd party site and post results? Not ideal, but block is pretty private/anonymous

You turn off your main breaker which would stop the solar generated power from flowing out. What power you do have wouldn’t be super stable, but at last you could run a few chargers, small appliances, etc.

One thing I’ve thought of is going to my local recycling center where they take in used/old car batteries. You could look up how to wire a handful together and use solar to charge them for evening use. Wouldn’t result in much, but a lot of those places recondition them and they’re $20-30/each.

If you have a generator, I’ve heard you could wire a thick extension cord with 2 male ends and just run power to a wall outlet. The power will flow through one breaker to the rest, but extra care needs to be taken to not overwhelm any one circuit on the generator or house. This would be a last resort for bare essentials like fridge, sump pump, etc.

And it’s a Google link, no thanks

What is up with this post? It makes no sense, no punctuation. Awful

Why would you wanna scare them off so soon? Haha jokes aside, pretty easily.

It’s similar to most other social media or forums, but not owned by any one company. It’s split up and run by everyone and anyone.

There’s also additional privacy by default in the sense that most apps won’t have telemetry or metrics to track your every move within the app, but scrapers on the internet I would presume are still active.

I don’t get it, how tf they gonna stop you on phones that already exist?

A. You can disable any new OS or device updates from Google.

B. You can keep your existing phone on Android 16 or prior (hell, I’m on 12)

C. Use alt OS like Graphene, Lineage, Iodé, /e/OS, CalyxOS (they’re back!!), etc

D. Sign out of Google on your phone, install F-Droid or something from APK package on FF derived browser.

I’m sure on brands new devices with that patch, plus anyone who doesn’t disable the auto updates will be blocked. But no way no how can Google stop us all!! 🖕🖕🏻🖕🏿🖕🏼

I love me some Turkish made firearms!! Shout out to Tisas, Girsan, Canik, Sarsilmaz, Panzer Arms, etc.

Belgium’s prime minister was a little surprised on landing back home from Wednesday’s NATO summit in Turkey to find that he had a handgun and ammunition in his luggage.

After NATO leaders gathered for Wednesday’s fractious summit in Ankara, their host, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, handed each an unusual parting gift: a vintage revolver, along with live ammunition indicating it was not just for show.

Erdogan wanted to showcase Turkey’s defence industry, which has become a key export and foreign policy tool.

Images shared by the office of Lithuanian President Gitanas Nauseda showed what appeared to be the Gumusay .357 Magnum, a rare six-shooter produced by Turkish arms maker MKE in the 1990s.

It was set in a wooden display box featuring Turkey’s flag and the NATO logo as well as a placard inscribed “Gumusay, the first revolver-type handgun produced in our country” in Turkish and English.

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez’s spokesperson said all the leaders had been given the same model, engraved with their own names.

The Belgian premier, Bart De Wever, handed his to Brussels’ airport police to be secured in a safe.

An aide to Polish President Karol Nawrocki told Radio RMF FM that his revolver was awaiting customs clearance at Warsaw Airport and would be kept in an appropriate place “so that it is firstly safe and secondly respected as a gift”.

“Certainly no one will be shooting it,” he added.

The offices of the Dutch and Swedish prime ministers said their revolvers had been take to their respective embassies in Ankara. The Dutch one was due to be disabled while the Swedish one was awaiting import paperwork.

The gun given to Britain’s Keir Starmer came with a cleaning kit and 500 bullets, a Downing Street source said.

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s revolver was already stored at the seat of government, the Palazzo Chigi, along with other state gifts.

EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen was intending to donate hers to a military museum, while the leader of Greece planned to give his to the War Museum in Athens.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, joking that “it struck me that my gift of maple syrup kind of undermatched” the Turkish present, said he had not actually seen the pistol.

“I would like to reassure Canadians – they keep guns away from me,” he told a press conference, saying the revolver had been deactivated and might end up in the national war museum.

Turkey’s modern handgun industry focuses mainly on semi-automatics, making the Gumusay something of a collector’s curiosity.

Turkish gunmakers have muscled into Europe’s civilian firearms market with inexpensive pistols and shotguns, challenging older Italian and Belgian names long associated with higher-priced sporting and service weapons.

According to the Geneva-based Small Arms Survey, Turkey was the world’s third-largest exporter of small arms between 2019 and 2024, with exports totalling about $3 billion over the period, behind the United States and Italy.

Murders aren’t happening with Ghost guns, but big bro is scared and they came up with a scary name to scare the general public.

3D printed gun parts were actually from the makers community where they’re not malicious, they’re customizing grips and handguards and other parts for uniqueness and customization. Reproducing movie and game guns for fun. Capitalist daddy didn’t like then making something “for nothing” vs spending Lots of money with retailers and manufacturers, so it slowly became a problem when it caught on and everyone stated making their own.

ONE thing caught attention, and that was 3D printed parts that basically jam a trigger mechanism in Glocks allowing them to fire multiple rounds with a single trigger pull. Now magically these people became awful criminals who are intentionally selling “ghost guns” by the masses that’s a huge problem with 1000s being recovered by police… Only I completely made up that whole last part. See if easy to seem believable if there’s the slightest credibility involved. I’ve not seen more than a few dozen maybe recovered guns with 3d printed parts. Most all of them are still regular manufactured parts with 3d “accessories” because you can’t print the metal barrel (definitely not reliably) and other parts that would otherwise have a serial number you can now get away without a registration.

Alec, I’ll take, “Things that Trump will pardon for” for $600

I was perma-banned from Reddit by the automod, ironically for making fun of bots and AI… I think I hurt its feelings

Y’all are killing me with YT links on a privacy sub https://inv.nadeko.net/wAHw9Oonr84
