   Preach brother. And nothing is more threatening to the powers that pee than the truth leaking out about female ejaculation.

Mal probably had a bit of war trauma and he wasn't all fun all the time, but it's not like he was constantly talking about he how much missed his dead gay lover with Inara either.

   
   IDK, the space confederacy thing and Serenity Valley came up like at least once an episode. I think that was supposed to be part of his allure, ya know?

   If you want some bigboy archival storage, I highly recommend rsync.net. Definitely not the cheapest offering out there, but they're professional AF. You can tell by the austere website and client portal that's even uglier, which none the less loads fast and works perfectly, and the obsessive communication about 30 minutes of downtime every 6 or so months that ends up actually being 5 minutes, that they know what they're doing.
   
   ultraseedbox is great for seedboxes, good speeds, priced cheap AF, but if you want archival stuff go elsewhere. They straight up nuked my FS during a migration one time, and by the end of my run with them my torrents were sitting in a dir called something like "~/downloads/migrated/downloads/mig-2018-02-24/downloads/moved_files/transfers/lost+found" after all the server shuffling they did.

   Originally posted by aldra they don't want to explicitly ban end to end encryption like on messengers, but they want the provider to be able to decrypt them if requested
   
   given the way that messengers like whatsapp, facebook etc. work in practice they're likely compelling the provider to generate and retain private keys instead of allowing the end users to keep them private.
   
   which defeats the purpose of end to end encryption; there's literally no reason to use it in place of server-side encryption if the provider has the keys

   
   Not saying that's not where we're probably going to end up, but there are a few ways to cut it. Apple's approach on ios as I understand it has essentially been to have the software act as a whistleblower without strictly breaking the encryption, that is apple distributes something akin to a bloom enhancement that is run client side against plaintext. So clients don't know what flagged content is, but can detect when it's present, and what's actually transmitted is still encrypted. So e.g. the client can report "this here is a buncha kiddy porn, but you don't really know what it is". Now what the client actually does in a case like that... IDK, report it? Break the encryption for LEO? Who knows. But if legislatures are satisfied with client tampering allowing users to bypass the measure, it does kinda solve the problem of facilitating witchhunting of target groups (pedophiles, nazis, misgenderers) without having to break security for everyone else (until they end up on the list of course). And if hardware attestation catches on the client tampering thing gets a lot harder.
   
   We're just as likely to end up with completely broken encryption and some HSM doublethink smokescreen. But honestly you'd be kinda retarded to entrust your safety to social media e2e encryption anyway, the clients are under the total control of a party that can easily be coerced by LE anyway so you have no reasonable expectation that the whole thing wasn't backdoored from the start.

    lol, you see a Michael Bay film and you know who directed it too. Doesn’t make him a bastion of culture in cinema.

    Kinda this. I mean nothing wrong with taking inspiration or paying homage, and there are better reasons to not love Tarantino. But his films are like obscenely heavy in reference to other film, spaghetti westerns and HK film chief among them. But then the stuff he references isn’t really a lot like his own stuff, eg go watch any classic Eastwood flick and you’ll get 30 second shots with no dialogue that T-dog wouldn’t touch with a 10 foot pole except as a gag. You can look up all the references in his films and end up with a pretty good list is classic cinema but isn’t not going to be what you’re looking for.
    
    Boondocks saints is a good rec.
    
    Classic mob films are probably pretty good, good fellas, casino, godfather of course. The departed. None of them have the constant intertextuality but the same kinda snappy dialogue, crime focus, etc.
    
    ichi the killer is in the same space.
    
    Arguably mumblecore took some cues from Tarantino, but that’s getting kinda far from the formula.

    This is how I treat someone who runs off good posters I enjoyed having on the site, asks for a favor, and then turns around and tries to threaten their way to the same thing (poorly) when they get told no.

    Yeah but dogs are lovable and you’re not. You might think you are because some lonely guys on the internet want to fuck you, but rest assured the average dog has you beat on personality, loyalty, and problem solving ability.
    
    They also have more tits than you, so you’re pretty much beat all around.
