Benn Jordan (The Flashbulb) has a good video on this and some other interesting related topics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_F4rEaRduk

His work on this and similar topics is very good, he has deep technical insight and is a good communicator, but it's a bit funny seeing him referred to as a security hobbyist as in my mind he's a musical genius and one of the greatest living US musicians/programmers.

"The Electric Monk was a labour-saving device, like a dishwasher or a video recorder. Dishwashers washed tedious dishes for you, thus saving you the bother of washing them yourself, video recorders watched tedious television for you, thus saving you the bother of looking at it yourself; Electric Monks believed things for you, thus saving you what was becoming an increasingly onerous task, that of believing all the things the world expected you to believe."

I kind of envy those who can so easily dismiss something like SF. Just try to imagine what they must have experienced to become so blasé.

If you want a fun way to spend the rest of your afternoon, just prefix any of these with "nic." and enter in your web browser. Interestingly, for example, it seems that .ninja is ran by what appears to be actual ninjas.

> Why are the right libertarians and 2A folks not speaking up right now

It has been entertaining listening to the people at Reason Magazine lately. They have convinced themselves thoroughly that they're not actually racist authoritarians, so now that they're getting what they really want, but it's so diametrically opposed to what they say they believe, they have to contort themselves endlessly.

Do not expect any kind of help from those kinds of people. Their anti-authoritarianism is largely performative or reserved to their in-group. When it's not performative, it's just rich kids complaining they're not allowed do to whatever they want.

Why is this buried almost at the end of the article? Why even mention it at that point?

Why are all the fascist tough guys so afraid of criticism, or even just of internet downvotes?

This is a central insight into their mindset. They are so incredibly mentally weak.

This is a "fun" idea, but I'm a bit troubled by the fact that you've chosen to release this right now.

Are you implying something? Not that subtle, truth be told. I'm not American, but hopefully there are someone here who knows the proper X-handle or other official authority to report this to.

So what you're saying is that we shouldn't put our trust into people who pride themselves on being master manipulators and deceivers?

Why are tools using hardcoded lists of WHOIS servers?

Seems there is a standard (?) way of registering this in DNS, but just from a quick test, a lot of TLDs are missing a record. Working example:

    dig _nicname._tcp.fr SRV +noall +answer

    _nicname._tcp.fr. 3588 IN SRV 0 0 43 whois.nic.fr.

Edit:

There's an expired Internet Draft for this: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-sanz-whois-srv-0...

I've spent so much time listening to it, it really is beautiful.

Just noticed on Bleep that they're releasing a 30th anniversary expanded edition on the 4th of October: https://bleep.com/release/460396-aphex-twin-selected-ambient...

The video with the tracker is only part of the final track, it's missing percussion at least. Here's the version of Vordhosbn from the Drukqs album: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6ro1aHvhGec&pp=ygUJdm9yZGhvc2J...

Drukqs is a great album btw, if you're at all interested in music you should give it a listen. It's got everything from tender prepared piano pieces to his signature drill and bass. Syro from 2014 is also an amazing album.

I already explained what I meant by damage. Being unable to see how the freedom of a tiny minority shouldn't trump the freedom of basic modes of being of the vast majority, that's damage.
