Been ages since I had to recompile a Linux kernel to deal with hard real time (via RTAI) but I recall emc2 being a great alternative to all the fussing around recompiling as some one did all the work for that.

I also recall using this resource . Eventually I just made a class for the threads I was using to wrap POSIX and RTAI calls for periodic tasks and chose which was the underlying method on a compiler flag. If I was on my desktop I could proof of concept most things in POSIX and then test on the RTAI machine. If I need to revisit this again I may dust off my old class and add freeRTOS stuff to it so I can prototype on Linux then try to squeeze it on to an esp32.

@folkrav is right here

And I'll posit that you likely wouldn't like this ability to exist in the first place.

Let me walk you through a thought experiment. Any system that requires a verification step is likely tied to identity and putting up a gate to get in based on the identity or using it to get a token to access it ties you to that activity. Ok great let's not let the kids see porn, but the exact same approach can be used to prevent or put a chilling effect on people seeking lgbt content, anti Vax content, unionization information,church gatherings, crypto schemes,academic research, Israel, Palestine, or anything really.

The internet was never intended to be a secure place it was intended to survive a devastating nuclear attack and keep information flowing. Tacking on arbitrary mortality gates is Orwellian and not how the internet was designed to function. Maybe these guys need to a seperate network (without blackjack and hookers) just for the content you want kids to see and not tell them about the internet till later because these proposed measures are like outlawing the letter q because you don't like that it leads to the word question.

Ah just don't renew station licenses or make the liscences more expensive and offer reductions on this new license hike if news broadcasts are locally produced and at noon six pm and 11 pm

Honestly thank you I'm starting to get old and cranky about the acronym issue.

Ok what the fuck is SM sadomasochism? Cause I read the article checked the thread and there are no definitions or context clues...

Now a large portion of the audience will read your comments coming with my flawed conclusions. And it's at least somewhat funny

Define acronyms For Fucks Sake (FFS)

Yea this guy is the hero of the thread, I would have just not bothered with the article if it wasn't for you pointing that line out

ah so that priority email i got from bell who got it from CCCS about my personal gitlab server being vulnerable was extraordinary,

BTW if you haven't got it update it it scored a 10 on the CVSS https://www.cyber.gc.ca/en/alerts-advisories/vulnerability-impacting-gitlab-cve-2023-7028

It would be funny if people just sent a letter to their mp every time they accessed those sites something like:

Dear honorable insert MP name

In advance of bill S-210 I am writing to inform you of my internet usage habits what follows is a list of hyperlinks to videos I have accessed today:

  1. ...

I hope this information helps you in determining my sexual interests to aid in your reelection campaign.

Sincerely xyz ABC of qwerty riding

No it's not paranoia if they are actually out to get you.

If they are out to get us it's just baffling to me. The internet was originally designed as a communications tool to survive large parts being damaged in the event of a major disaster/attack.

It got hijacked by people first who used it to share less and scientific information and more for the lack of a better word human information. Then corporations came and wanted to extract value from it some how. So we had the Dotcom bubbles and pop-up ads.

Now I don't have the hindsight now to succinctly explain what happened next but then Facebook became a dominant social media platform. And everyone gave them info about themselves contrary to the previous advice about never using your real name on the internet.

Now we have governments world wide actively trying to police porn a good 50 years after it existed on the internet. 20 years since it was freely and widely available as streaming video? What's the goal trying to tax free porn somehow?

I think the genie is out of the bottle at this point.

It's wild because back in the day they told us don't let anyone know your real name or where you live if you can help it. Now it's let's see your driver's license to verify you before you can look at cat videos...

But how much of this is actually new trying to build a world order and how much is just ignorance in the capabilities of the technology of the members of the Senate and House of Commons

 

Ok yesterday I heard from someone that staff from MDA Brampton were on strike and couldn't find anything but articles from 2020 and 2009 so I took down the post because I couldn't verify.

Anyway good luck guys and gals
