Why 3 onions though? Why no chives?

Does anyone know if firewalls like OPNSense can do IPS for ads and tracking instead of “normal” intrusions like malware?

Swarfega, (edited ) in How I like my pi

I’ve ran Pihole for years but switched to NextDNS. It gives me more control over my kids access.
For example scheduled access to YouTube and Roblox. Also, since it’s a public service it means I can block them regardless of network. So for example when we are on holiday. My eldest worked out he could use network data on his phone to avoid the Pihole.

Oh, and it’s DNS over TLS so queries are now encrypted rather than plain text that regular DNS.

None of this will block YouTube ads though. For that I use NewPipe or Firefox and uBlock Origin.

I never knew that Brendan Fraser won an oscar. Must have been for George of the jungle

Kidplayer_666,

He won last year for his performance in “the whale”

Devdogg,

Do we do Whoosh here?

corsicanguppy,

Even when it’s trolling?

I’m surprised he didn’t mention his two best films: Airheads and Encino Man

theangryseal,

His performance in Encino Man moved me to tears. When he wheezed the juice in that wheezing the juice scene I couldn’t breathe. The cashier had such a small role, but my god was it powerful. “No wheezing the juuuuuuh uuuuice!”

When I found out the caveman started a band I was ecstatic. Part 2 wasn’t as good as the first one, but it was still pretty good.

Wife and I still use that line and “two minutes” quite regularly.

theangryseal,

Two and a half minute. Haha. I do that one constantly too.

adguard DNS on a VPN router is pretty good too.

Excess calories and energy used to be considered profit.

AgentGrimstone, in Spices too

When I first started to cook for myself, I ignored using onions and garlic because I didn’t think they would make that big a difference 🤡

LemmyKnowsBest,

I always thought onions and garlic made breath bad so I don’t put them on anything and I don’t give them to anyone.

db2, in Thank you therapy

Gennadios, in OHHH WAY DOWN SOUTH IN THE LAND OF TRAITORS,

Most of the US military is mostly made up of conservatives, and red states are the only ones with some semblance of a manufacturing base as blue states nowadays are mostly IP farms. I dont think a hypothetical civil war will turn out as well as blue staters think.

c0mbatbag3l,
@c0mbatbag3l@lemmy.world avatar

Manufacturing is usually urban, and last I checked that’s where most blue is. Farming and agriculture is red, sure.

Military is split, infantry probably skews red but the AF seems mixed and the Navy is pretty liberal in my experience.

CptEnder,

Ok putting aside the obvious that 99% of US Military service members honor their oath to the Constitution and respect the chain of command serving the sitting President regardless of politics. Not least of which the DOD has been purging insurrectionist sympathisers the past few years.

So the brass tax of the US Military, our most valuable assets by a LOT are the US Navy. 2nd would be the USAF. Primary of which is arguably our Submarine force, followed by our sea warfare, then our air forces, and the rest of our nuclear arsenal.

Our largest sub base is in CT (blue).

The entirety of our carrier fleets are based in blue states - California, Hawaii, Virginia (blueish).

A significant portion of our nuclear stockpile is in Colorado (blue).

Anyway it all doesn’t matter because any insignificant numbers who would defect would be nowhere near the command of these critical assets. The only real annoyance of Texas seceding would be having to relocate NASA HQ lmao.

dubyakay, in OHHH WAY DOWN SOUTH IN THE LAND OF TRAITORS,

What if Texas just does a Texit (akin to Brexit)? Or is that not possible?

WarmSoda,

It’ll never happen

dubyakay,

That wasn’t my question. It was whether it is theoretically possible or not. Brexit was a peaceful event with all its checks and processes in place.

FiskFisk33,

last time they tried there was a civil war, that pretty much sums up how legal it is.

nickhammes,

The EU had a documented process for a member state to leave. It was untested and messy, but it existed.

There’s no legal basis for a state to leave the US. Now it’s possible we let it happen despite this, with or without armed conflict, but it’s hard to imagine a hypothetical Texit not being messier than Brexit ever was

jonne,

Not sure if US law has a provision for this. Brexit was relatively orderly because the EU made sure there’s a process for it.

nadiaraven,

Absolutely positive the US does NOT have a provision for this. We fought a little war about it once.

nadiaraven,

The south tried to secede and we fought a war about it, so no, pretty sure it’s not possible.

deaf_fish,

I think the only two ways this can happen are is the federal government agrees to the succession or succession by force (aka civil war).

SpaceCowboy,
@SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca avatar

This is correct. Unless of course the Supreme Court overturns the decisions by previous Supreme Courts.

Has anyone checked on Harlan Crow’s opinion on this?

SapphironZA,

The GOP would never be able to win the electoral college without Texas. So that’s why it will never happen.

But maybe we can trick Abbot, he might be stupid enough to fall for it?

ReplicantBatty,

I don’t know if it’s legally possible, but even if it was, it would never actually work. Texas is propped up with federal funding, our electric grid is slowly failing, and most people who wanted to stay a citizen of the United States would leave if they were able, which would completely fuck the job market, and leave mostly people who want to be Texans rather than Americans, and those people can’t run shit (hence the economicand infrastructure problems we already have). Or maybe I’m just talking out of my ass, idk. That’s my opinion as somebody who lives in Texas against their will.

test113,

Nope, it’s not possible. The only way it wouldn’t be treason is if all states agree, or if they start a revolution and are successful; every other attempt would simply be treason. Hence, one nation indivisible. I’m sure they know that; they just want to push as far as they can to make the political situation even more absurd in America. They want to widen the gap between the people. I don’t know who exactly profits from this situation, but it’s not the American people.

Here’s a video that explains it quite well: [Legal Egal] (youtu.be/1dhvry6E0jA?si=H62qIoiHzaLdJHQF)

Klear,

Isn’t treason legal in the US nowadays?

pearsaltchocolatebar,
