Yeah, that’s fair enough, though I’m not sure it’s very different from malicious instances creating normal user accounts?

You can see when users from an instance are all suspiciously voting the same way at the same time regardless of whether they are usernames or IDs.

There’s lots of legitimate users that only vote but never post so doing it based on that doesn’t seem very effective?

The second problem is solved using public key cryptography, the same way that you can’t impersonate someone else’s username to post comments. Votes and comments are digitally signed (There would need to be a different public key for voting to maintain pseudonymity though).

How about pseudonymous as a compromise? Votes could be publicly federated but tied to some uuid instead of the username. That way you still have the same anti spam ability (can see that a user upvoted these things from this instance at this time) but can’t tie it directly to comments or actual user accounts without some extra osint.

It might be theoretically possible to correlate the uuids with an account’s activity and dox the user in some cases, especially with some instances having a single user, but it would be very difficult or impossible to do on larger instances and would add an extra layer. Single user instances would be kind of impossible to make totally private anyway because they can be identified by instance.

Looks more /usr/bucket/cat

That’s pretty cool!

Although that’s probably what op is actually asking for, I don’t think it’s a modem. It’s a router with an access point.

It does have SFP for a fibre connection and pcie and USB for you to potentially add a modem or whatever else you want.

I’m guessing OP is just looking for a wifi router? Otherwise we’d need to know what kind of modem they’re looking for, like Cellular? VDSL? HFC? Satellite? It depends on the internet connection. Different parts of the world need very different kit.

“aborigines” is not a great word to use these days. It’s generally seen as pretty offensive to Indigenous Australians as it’s a bit dehumanising and comes from colinisers who treated people like animals.

Better to go with “First Nations people”, “Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people” or “Indigenous Australians.”

But yes, they’ve been treated (and in many cases continue to be treated) pretty horribly.

Yeah, that’s what they’re for. Having multiple accounts separated and not interfering with each other. So you can have eg. three different tabs of Gmail open or office or whatever in the same window with different accounts logged in. Each tab with a different colour. Great for separating work stuff from personal stuff or isolating bank logins etc.

Sounds like the same thing as you’re describing in chrome (though I haven’t tried the chrome implementation)

Firefox account containers are very clean and easy for this. The tabs get colour coded based on which account is logged in and you can configure certain sites to always open in certain containers.

Interesting. I remember there being fewer ads but the ones that did exist were worse. Bright colours, flashing, blink tags, 3-frame epilepsy inducing animated gifs… “You are the 10000th visitor!” Some in the mid to late 90s would pop-up new windows or even start autoplaying sound…
