copying what i wrote to here:

the website linked in the OP is misconfigured and never replaced/removed the placeholders.

you can find the intended image here: https://radicle.dev/assets/images/og-card.png

radicle.dev has a misconfigured sharing thumbnail. the reason you get the Local Network Access warning on both the post and the user’s profile is because their post is visible from both pages, and it tries to load the thumbnail which is addressed to localhost.

no, it’s not dangerous. the website linked in the OP is misconfigured and never replaced/removed the placeholders.

EDIT: clarified that the website linked in the OP is the culprit, not OP themself. you can find the intended image here: https://radicle.dev/assets/images/og-card.png

it’s the thumbnail:

<meta property="og:image" content="http://localhost:3000/assets/images/og-card.png">
<meta name="twitter:image" content="http://localhost:3000/assets/images/og-card.png">

several of the meta and canonical elements reference localhost:3000

Correct?

more or less

they underestimated how much life would survive on the surface; they couldn’t have predicted the Forced Evolutionary Virus; the Enclave (US rump state) is too fractured and horrifically incompetent to reënact Manifest Destiny; and most of the vault experiments failed catastrophically (if they weren’t cut short by mechanical failures, deliberately or not).

why would it be stupid? this isn’t ‘implied’; that’s literally the story. ignoring that the Fallout TV show is really just an incoherent misanthropic screed which is an extension of Todd’s contempt for New Vegas, Obsidian and Interplay:

the resource wars weren’t going to end any time soon, the USian people were getting tired and socialist sympathies were rising. it was established in New Vegas that the US false-flagged themselves in order to justify a nuclear exchange against China in order to cull the population and reënact Manifest Destiny. part of the Enclave’s whole deal is trying to genocide the wastelanders to prepare North America for recolonisation.

it’s been my headcanon as far back as Interplay’s Fallout that an Americanist cabal believed the USian people were the US’s true enemy, and that by false-flagging themselves they could force a chosen few into the vaults where they could experiment eugenically with creating the ideal society to inherit the post-apocalyptic world free of foreign adversaries.

VaultTec’s product is the end of the world, so they sold the end of the world.

this thread is from 10 months ago, but yeah there seems to be a problem with federation between Dbzer0 and Hexbear.

tho, unlike the time this thread is about, Hexbear is still listed in the linked instances.

Taiwan is closer to being the Union in this analogy

mmyes, the defeated right-wing nationalist warlordists are the Union in this analogy. very good.

i would like to learn your secret: how do you become so informed on things you know nothing about?

What’s functionally stopping you from living on a commune on an empty dot on a map or a deserted island and making your dream of no government a reality with your peers?

the fact that under private property there is no such thing as an empty dot or a deserted island, capitalism is a totalising system and is practically inescapable but can be eroded, and that our politics as leftists are not just a vehicle for our own individual self-actualisation but about the liberation of all people?

a bunch of ‘leftists’ LARPing on an island are not leftists if they can afford to live on an island together and isolate themselves from the rest of the world.

… actually one does need later hardware for a phone that will work on 5G networks.

if i’m understanding you right, you’re saying we should be reusing old, functional hardware instead of producing brand-new shit (which just turns old stuff into ewaste). i agree. if countries repealed anticircumvention, i imagine there would be an industry for upcycling electronics.

i have been unironically told by someone who refused to install an adblocker: ‘what if i might get an ad for something i want?’

europe.pub is a nazi bar

Just when will my human rights, which are grounded in the constitution

the US constitution is an ideological rag and a liberal holy text written by and for wealthy protocapitalists seeking independence from mercantilism. it wasn’t written for you, just as it wasn’t written for women or BIPOC. the police and courts serve the state, not persons.

a digital wallet with ZKP could resolve ‘are you old enough?’ without the query ever needing to leave your device.

without a digital wallet, it could be done with fully homomorphic encryption.

both of these would be innovations which i feel require guided development. innovation counter to the goal of the legislation, which is surveillance. innovation driven by the self-proclaimed purpose of ‘protecting children’; innovation driven by the impetus to make it harder for people to masturbate.

since the general attitude right now has been ‘require agegates and just leave it up to The Market™’, then the solution in practise will probably be a private third party that brokers this information, probably with a natural monopoly, that will charge exorbitantly for their API, have Google Analytics running on every page, leaks like a sieve, leaves logs everywhere, and will probably get caught selling data, which will incur a one-time fee equal to 80% the size of the company’s rainy day fund, and maybe the CEO will be asked to step down, shielding the rest of the C-suite from consequences (and allowing them to just do it again). they’ll work closely with law enforcement, they’ll be breached in the first year, and probably have a huge leak 4 years later.

in that time, due to real changes in the law or jurisprudence, or companies just ‘playing it safe’, age verification will come to encompass queer identity, sexual education and health, war coverage, counterculture and even history. more online regulation just means more barriers to entry which means a larger monopoly for multinational corporations.

i think there are better uses for this technology than controlling pornography.

the provider knows who’s asking because of the IP address and API key of the requester. if it uses a form with a redirect, they even know your IP and what page you were on, tied to your legal identity. if the provider makes any API requests to a government registry, now that knows the when, the how, and (categorically) the what. short of a statement of ‘no logs’ and an audit to confirm as such, there is definitely logs. hackers love this information. data brokers love this information.

the problem is not the service knowing. it’s anyone knowing. the provider deänonymised you the moment you gave your id. the precise implementation details are important here.

the problem is that people are being verifiably linked to their ‘adult’ preferences. this is data that is being generated, in bad faith, and handled by multiple parties. your legal identity should not need to be tied to this information. this information can be used against you both now and in the future.

we’ve already seen in the US where there is a push for information about gender and basic sexual education being labelled as ‘adult’. when i was in school, information about countries like Cuba, Afghanistan or China was considered ‘too mature’ (or marked as ‘terrorism-related’ by the school firewall) for children; i could see this thus extending to require age verification before you can access ‘subversive’ information, on the basis of ‘protecting children’ from ‘political extremism’.

The research team does not believe the satellite suddenly came back to life for a moment. They suggest it is far more likely that an electrostatic charge built up on the craft and reached a certain point and then discharged. Such discharges have been seen before, the team notes. Another possibility is that the craft was struck by a micrometeoroid, releasing a very small cloud of plasma.

it seems to have happened again

i like this. i think for now as a workaround: one could lock the topic and leave a comment asking the OP to crosspost it elsewhere, with grace for posts which have high engagement (as ladfrombrad suggested).

i don’t agree that crossposting works to ‘move’ posts. as far as i know: the OP is not notified when their topic is crossposted by someone else, and in that case they also won’t be ‘subscribed’ to comment notifications.
