Re: [AFMUG] Fw: Would you allow Tor exit node hosting in your AS?

[Andy Trimmell]

I think if you have them agree to a ToS where you can wash your hands of it if 
it doesn’t work out seems logical.  Make sure it’s an IP address (or block) 
that you’re willing to live without if things go south and you have to 
blackhole it for an unknown amount of time.

There may be nothing wrong with doing it ethically or legally, but it sounds 
like asking for trouble to me. Seems likely to invite DDOS and get your IP 
blocks on who knows what sort of black lists.

Good afternoon from Wisconsin,

 

Given the political upheaval in many countries right now, my 
friends and I are looking to spin up some Tor exit nodes so the citizens of 
these repressed countries can keep in touch with their families abroad and 
access unbiased independent news sources.

 

Do you allow hosting of Tor exit nodes for TCP ports 80 and 443 
in your AS (autonomous system)?  Please let me know, and thank you in advance.  
:)

 

Make your day great,

Yes to TOS, but I’d also tell them verbally that if this becomes too much 
trouble for me then I’ll unplug it.

[AFMUG] OT mildly political

[Chuck McCown via AF]

Woke, broke, in therapy and crazy unhappy.  

That is how I would describe some of my kids.

The alt right unwoke ones seem to have money and happiness.  

Never expected I would not be able to speak my mind at family dinners just to 
be able to still see some of my kids.  
Feel like I was convicted in absentia, thrown in the hole for a lifetime 
sentence, but taken out of solitary confinement now and then at their whims 
just so they could claim to have compassion on me for a half hour walk in the 
woods.  Maybe longer if I pay for dinner.  

Odd times
I loved my parents and grandparents.  
Never felt they had to earn it.  
Never would have thought of condemning them for the things they said.  

Funny, I have a sister that lives 1000 miles from me.  Our families were 
separate all while the kids were growing.
But some of hers have done the same things to her.  Using the exact same 
vernacular. 

Must have something to do with energy drinks I think. --

Re: [AFMUG] OT mildly political

[Darin Steffl]

I'm 31 and see this as younger people aren't going to tolerate ideologies
or hate from hateful people any longer. If I hear or see racist people, I
now call them out. If they think they're in the right, I'm fine cutting all
ties with them and letting them know why. I won't condone the far right
rhetoric that only straight, white males matter. I hear far too many
racist, homophobic, xenophobic comments from Trump supporters who are
family, friends, or just acquaintances in my local, rural area of Minnesota.

It used to be that Republicans before Trump were more respectful and less
hateful, at least on the surface. I feel that changed after he was elected
and he gave his followers "permission" to spew the hate that they bottled
up inside before because it was viewed as wrong to be vocally racist,
homophobic, etc. Trump bullied anyone and everyone who didn't bow at his
feet, so his followers do the same thing. He says jump, they say "How
High??" People worship him and make their entire personality about Trump.
Bumper stickers, hats, flags, you name it. I voted for Obama, Hillary, and
Biden and I have one Obama t-shirt that I wore 3 times before he was
elected, then I never wore it again. I don't worship who I vote for. Trump
continues to host rallies and look at the sheep who show up for it. They
call the left sheep but the trump supporters continue to follow him around
and believe his lies that he won the election just like sheep would do.
He's the herder, they're the sheep.

This isn't to say some people on the left aren't too "Woke" because I can
see the political correctness go a little far sometimes. But overall, I see
a near zero tolerance from many younger people to the hate that Trump and
some of his supporters spew on a daily basis. I watch and read Fox News
every few days to see what conspiracy theories they're spewing and it's
disgraceful what they show on Fox. Much of what they say are downright lies
and can easily be proven false with an easy google search. Tucker Carlson
has talked about the "Great Replacement Theory" on over 400 episodes and a
white, 18-year old male heard him loud and clear then shot and killed 10
black people because he feared that whites are becoming the minority. The
far right is literally encouraging their supporters to become violent and
ready to fight over anything.

I see far right politicians banning books, attacking women's rights,
attacking LGBT people, attacking teachers/schools, speaking at events and
supporting white supremacists, etc. The right is quickly becoming a hateful
party instead of one with conservative values and what I used to view as
somewhat respectable politicians. Now, the crazy ones are repeating what
Trump does and they're building their base of voters to replace more
traditional Republicans that I could agree with probably 30-50% of the
time. The new ones like Cawthorne, Marjorie, Boebert, etc have no objective
except to cause chaos and preach hate to anyone who will listen. It's an
embarrassment to the Republican party and I will not vote for people who
actively try to take away rights from American citizens who are not white,
straight, or male.

I grew up in rural MN around many republicans but I have strong moral
values that don't allow me to vote for a party that hates marginalized
people and attacks basic human rights. The party of pro-life is really just
pro-birth. Once the baby is born, the right wants nothing to do with the
mother or child. No welfare, no housing, food, support, NOTHING!!! The
pro-life party should have been all for masking during Covid and taking the
vaccine because it would have saved lives. Instead, they fought against it
and more Americans died as a result. The right is not a "pro-life" party at
all based on their actions.

Back to your comments about family and politics... I am moderate left when
you average out my fiscally conservative beliefs and my socially
progressive views when it comes to human rights. I enjoy the wealth I've
accumulated from my WISP and huge growth in my stock portfolio and of
course prefer lower taxes as a result. But I will never vote for a party
that attacks marginalized people or that spews hate just so I can keep more
of the money I've earned. To me, Human Rights > Money

When I hear someone I care about supporting far right beliefs and
politicians, it deeply hurts me and what I thought about this person. I
have strong morals so I desire to maintain friendships and relationships
with similar people. I can be friends with and have a good time with a
Republican as long as they aren't racist, homophobic, xenophobic, hateful
to marginalized people, anti-science, etc. I think zero tolerance towards
hateful beliefs and behavior is going to become more common because some of
us are tired of hearing how much some republicans hate everyone who is
different than them. And the last 2 years, there's been tons of action from
crazy politicians like DeSantis attacking Doctors, schools, LGBT people
that
