what if we all pitch in to pay for the cert? I would volunteer here to pay my share.

I really appreciate people's efforts to help. Seriously, it's nice and the kind of thing that keeps me doing this.

The current problem is that the Letsencrypt bot (which is free) insists on upgrading certain packages every time it runs (like libssl-dev libssl1.0.0 libffi-dev libffi5 openssl) but the apt-get mechanism for upgrading those just refuses to run because my OS is no longer supported. If I upgrade my OS, I risk blowing the whole thing up and being offline for days or even a week. I have learned through long and painful experience that the safest route by far is to never upgrade anything unless I have a specific known critical problem which can be fixed only by an upgrade.

But that got me thinking a number of dark thoughts:

1. The Letsencrypt bot demands to run as root on my server, letting them do whatever the fuck they want. This is super-bad for security, though it is ironically in the name of security. Makes me suspect that the whole Letsencrypt organization is a front for the NSA to get root on a bazillion web servers. It's definitely not outside the realm of possibility.

2. The forced OS upgrade shit also essentially turns over my site to yet another organization, Debian. They could also do whatever the fuck they want.

3. The identification provided by SSL is simply an affirmation that "yes, this site is known to the corporate globalist cabal and allowed by them, for now, as long as it's not really a threat to our masters."

So why should I trust two external organizations and become part of the globalist problem, just to get the little green lock icon? I really don't like being dependent on and subject to the questionable integrity of third parties. OK, my ISP necessarily has control over my server as well, but I'd really like to limit it to just that.

So currently, I'm studying ways to do encryption of at least the cookie such that even if it were stolen in transit it could not be used by anyone else. Hashing it with the origin IP might be sufficient.

Thing is, there is no built-in javascript hashing mechanism, so I'd have to send down some code to the browser to do the hashing, and that code could be altered in transit. It's unlikely, but could happen. Trying to think of ways around that.

Summary: I just don't want to be dependent on extra third parties like Letsencrypt and Debian, especially because they are likely infested with extremely intolerant Democrats who would be happy to squash a site like this.

Only the Left is Violent. These Great Americans were simply doing what GOD COMMANDS! Fine members of our well regulated militia

They are jailed for pointing guns at children, and threatening them. Sentencing makes sense.

Headline is misleading, which is what typical leftists like to do.

While sentencing makes total sense (perps got what they deserved), it is quite interesting that we have a white supremacist named Jose Torres. In a different situation MSM would be all over oppressed Hispanic Jose Torres

Well this exactly. A correct reading of the thread title makes on think the couple was sentenced to years in prison for being racist.

Standard Jazz prepostorus statement.

Now if the msm would just run individual articles on when black and brown people commit any acts of assault on innocent victims, we would have some truth. Probably not enough journalists to accomplish that.

Sounds like Omar or Rashida Tlaib to me. But are they populists? Maybe to the Muslim community. Certainly they aren’t Trump supporters.

You fail because you refuse to see the truth.

Hasn't there always been crazy people doing crazy things in the USA? Hasn't there always been whites that hate blacks and blacks that hate whites? Why is this news?

It's not. It's an old story about a racist couple being stupid.

All I read here was the author fapping furiously.
So many words to say so little of any meaning.
Typical academic.

I thought "Only the left is violent"

http://patrick.net/post/1317871/2018-08-02-only-the-left-is-violent

Not only, mostly.

After trying for a day to think of better ways to do encryption, I gave up and upgraded my OS and then was able to get a new certificate from Letsencrypt.

Trump has been the best thing for the US economy in our lifetimes.

Some things put allot into GDP, health care complex is up to 25%, sickest developed country on the planet, most expensive, but with a poor ranking, this is super great for GDP! Military is also a pretty big part of GDP. Government alone puts a trillion a year just into these two. Majority CFO's are calling for last quarter 2021 as earliest possible recession. U.S. is a big economy, it doesn't turn on a dime.

Not sure any modern economic model is one to brag up, they have a tendency to booms & busts, and run on mostly .. debt.

Look at a newspaper. Headlines are generally in caps. It stands out and looks right too. Be sure to ask the Times editor too.

By "newspaper", do you mean your link? I looked. Unlike your title, the case in the given quote is all proper (probably the only thing that's proper in there). So, I'll add another question to the list:
- What's up with all the capitals in the header? Desperate cry for attention? Better pay per word? Any other reason?
- Why would you send me to a source which contradicts your claim?
Genuinely curious, please respond.

Tim Aurora says

And how many people has the left killed. And do not include Islamic terrorist. They are on the right, just the Islamic right ( Islamic conservatives)

Islam is THE terrorist religion. Muslims are the total suckers of any community wherever they are in the world for the last 1400 years.
When Islam is in minority - it targets right, through partner ship with left, its a win-win situation.
At some point when Islam reaches majority it targets everyone left, right including them-self's.

Authorities said Earnest had posted an anti-Jewish screed online and was being investigated in connection with an arson that caused damage to a mosque in nearby Escondido last month. No injuries were reported in that fire

The suspect in the deadly shooting at a San Diego County synagogue had no love for President Trump, apparently blasting him as a “Zionist, Jew-loving” traitor in a hate-filled manifesto posted before Saturday’s attack.
...
As for Mr. Trump: “You mean that Zionist, Jew-loving, anti-White, traitorous c*cksucker? Don’t make me laugh,” he said in the manifesto, according to Heavy.com and other news outlets.

Now that the Stormfront kids see Omar and Taliban and Liberal Outlets all bashing Israel and Zionism, the confluence of it reinforces their belief and justifies their behavior because now it's in Stereo.

As for Left Wing Terror, we're having a wave of Left Wing Terror Attacks on Cops that began in 2015 and is ongoing, with dozens of casualties just in the past few years, from Dallas to Baton Rogue to Tennessee.

sickest developed country on the plane

I just wish the Boomers would die off already! They’re sucking us dry on their way out!
Got a letter yesterday saying my pension is going to be cut to finance their retirement, because you know none of their pension payments will be affected. Only the ones who come after no matter what we pay in.
Typical Boomers the “me” generation, pulling the ladder up after themselves.

You know time and time again these lone killers have no network of support, no imam that radicalized them. No donors that financed their violent endeavorers, no organization the actively recruit people like them for such purposes. And time and time again the Scumbag Lying Media and the Party they depend on, says the group of mass killers that do have such support systems back and encouraging them as "Lone Killers" with mental problems.

Why is that?

Also has it escaped the grasp of the Liberals the killer hated our Conservative President?

I wouldn't rule out he was radicalized by Leftists to kill these people so they could blame Trump. Even though his manifesto says he hates Trump.

Let it be an example to similar assholes everywhere. This is America where you should be able to have a birthday party for your child and her friends without fearing a bunch of Uber TRumpCucks are going to come and threaten your lives.

You've got to know that Trump's election has emboldened too many of these type of assholes.

The "very fine people" quote in context, so that people who sadly watch only the extremely deceptive MSM propaganda can see what Trump really said:

Reporter: "The neo-Nazis started this. They showed up in Charlottesville to protest --"

Trump: "Excuse me, excuse me. They didn’t put themselves -- and you had some very bad people in that group, but you also had people that were very fine people, on both sides. You had people in that group. Excuse me, excuse me. I saw the same pictures as you did. You had people in that group that were there to protest the taking down of, to them, a very, very important statue and the renaming of a park from Robert E. Lee to another name."

Reporter: "George Washington and Robert E. Lee are not the same."

Trump: "George Washington was a slave owner. Was George Washington a slave owner? So will George Washington now lose his status? Are we going to take down -- excuse me, are we going to take down statues to George Washington? How about Thomas Jefferson? What do you think of Thomas Jefferson? You like him?"

Reporter: "I do love Thomas Jefferson."

Trump: "Okay, good. Are we going to take down the statue? Because he was a major slave owner. Now, are we going to take down his statue?

"So you know what, it’s fine. You’re changing history. You’re changing culture. And you had people -- and I’m not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists -- because they should be condemned totally. But you had many people in that group other than neo-Nazis and white nationalists. Okay? And the press has treated them absolutely unfairly.

"Now, in the other group also, you had some fine people. But you also had troublemakers, and you see them come with the black outfits and with the helmets, and with the baseball bats. You had a lot of bad people in the other group."

THe bigger problem is that Trump is an idiot that doesn't do his preparation or take enough advice in preparing. . It's about his incompetence and arrogance.

His point about the statues and about Washingtom and Jefferson was a point that is fine to make. I agree with it in fact. But it was not the right time for that.

That was a time for condemning white racial hate, ONLY !. Period. It was not time to discuss the ways that he sympathizes with southerners who memorialize the confederacy. .

At a separate time, it would be more than appropriate - even if he wanted to give a whole speech on the complexities of questions surrounding southern heroes, and proposing ways that we become more understanding and tolerant of different views on the subject of "confederate heroes."

Is he incomeptant ? Or does TRump actually like to fan the flames of division, which is so easy to do in the south.

Shouldn't you be able to work in a liquor store without fearing you'll be pistol whipped by Obama's Sons?

Can you explain why? What is it exactly about Trump that “emboldens” white supremacy? Is it the way that hus policies have employed and enriched the highest percentage of black People in history? Is it like how he’s anti Semitic even though he has Jews in his family and is a yuuuge supporter of Israel?

Or are you just watching too much CNN again?

Quigley says

Can you explain why?

Primarily becasue he didn't even use dog whistles to appeal to racists. He was wide open about it. And then he won !!

What message does that send to white supremacists ?

Do you really think that Europe looks at the Trump Presidency following the Obama Presidency and doesn't at least partly see a racist backlash ? Not that we care what Europe thinks.

Look, I don't like it that the left is reacting with a doubling down on identity politics, but I'm not surprised. It is a reaction to something. What ? You think it's just a reaction to Trump being an old white dude instead of us getting an old white woman ?

lol...you didn't even remotely answer the question. The Left is so brainwashed by CNN that they've assumed Trump is racist without questioning the initial premise.

marcus says

So by having a platform based on:
1)deregulation to pump economy
2)immigration enforcement to pump the American workforce up to good employment and better wages
3) adherence to the Constitution over progressive ideas
4) MAGA
Somehow one or all of those ideas are racist? Or appeal to racists? Which idea is on its face stupid, like claiming that croissants are evil because Klan members prefer them. Or claiming that chocolate is bad because Hitler enjoyed it.
Stupid is as Leftist does...

There are actually people who claim that ALL violence is done by the political left? I wouldn't even talk to a person that stupid. All the brothers shooting each other daily are all leftists? White psychotic serial killers? Lots of these people have never seen the inside of a voting booth. Violent people come in all races and colors and it has nothing to do with politics. You should know that.

marcus says

Primarily becasue

NO! Just because!
