Off-and-on trying out an account over at @[email protected] due to scraping bots bogging down lemmy.today to the point of near-unusability.
My impression is that Trump mostly just licenses his name to these ventures for a payment and isn’t affiliated with them otherwise. I don’t think that he likely cares much what happens to the phone buyers or sellers. He’s made his money either way.

Desktop PC with a lotta hard drives in it and big fans that don’t have to spin fast and make a lot of noise.
I use a USB DAS JBOD enclosure with fans, which is also an option if you have a mini-PC and just want a bunch of drive space.

This particular enclosure has physical buttons that lock in place so that the power state is restored on power loss, something that (to my surprise) a number of USB DAS enclosures apparently don’t do.
You could try reducing the fan speed. That might be okay, if the hardware doesn’t actually need the cooling. If the BIOS has fan curves, go fiddle with that. If it doesn’t, dedicated fan controllers do exist.
If the server is a standard ATX motherboard and if your rack has vertical space, you can also probably get a new ATX case of whatever sort you want, preferably taller, and get something with larger, slower fans and transplant the hardware. A lot of rack servers are vertically-cramped to let a datacenter put as many in a rack as possible, so you get stuff like 1U machines with those dinky 30mm fans. In general, the larger the fan, the less noise per airflow.

I’ve never used that, but it’s a 3U and has three 120mm fans.
If you don’t care about cost, there are also sound-isolated racks. These have some sort of sound-blocking material like plywood on the outside and sound-absorbing foam on the inside. I have been interested in these in the past, because I would like one, but everything I’ve seen has been absolutely obscenely-priced, probably because datacenters don’t care about noise, and few people are running racks in homes or offices. I doubt that the people that sell them get much volume.
EDIT: Example sound-isolated rack:

Is there a way to make reddit illegal? and put the creators to jail?
I mean, hypothetically you could have a law passed to make anything you want illegal. I won’t speak as to the practicality of that in your particular case, but it’s theoretically possible.
However, wherever you are, it’s likely not permissible under its constitution or treaties to make a law to make someone’s legal actions illegal after they have done whatever it is so that you can punish them for actions that were legal at the time of the action; this is an ex post facto law, and are often one of the things that legal systems don’t accept.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ex_post_facto_law
An ex post facto law[1] is a law that retrospectively changes the legal consequences or status of actions that were committed, or relationships that existed, before the enactment of the law. In criminal law, it may criminalize actions that were legal when committed; it may aggravate a crime by bringing it into a more severe category than it was in when it was committed; it may change the punishment prescribed for a crime, as by adding new penalties or extending sentences; it may extend the statute of limitations; or it may alter the rules of evidence in order to make conviction for a crime likelier than it would have been when the deed was committed.
Some common-law jurisdictions do not permit retroactive criminal legislation, though new precedent generally applies to events that occurred before the judicial decision. Some countries, such as the United States, explicitly forbid ex post facto laws in their constitution. In some nations that follow the Westminster system of government, ex post facto laws may be possible, because the doctrine of parliamentary supremacy allows Parliament to pass any law it wishes, within legal constraints.[clarification needed][citation needed] In a nation with an entrenched bill of rights or a written constitution, ex post facto legislation may be prohibited or allowed, and this provision may be general or specific.
Ex post facto criminalization is prohibited by Article 7 of the European Convention on Human Rights, Article 15(1) of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights,[3] and Article 9 of the American Convention on Human Rights.[4]
It means that he wasn’t going to get an AUMF from Congress in his 60 day window, which is what I pretty much expected. Now it sounds like he’s going to try to continue the blockade portion (i.e. not the bombing) but argue that imposing a blockade doesn’t constitute deployment of troops, which I suspect isn’t going to fly if it comes to court. But we’ll see how the legal and political maneuvering plays out.
Northern Ireland apparently doesn’t currently have an animal, but that’s at least somewhat-used for the area.
Put a bulldog, dragon, unicorn, and red deer up there, one on each panel, and it’ll make the orientation pretty clear.
Chris Klimis, a minister in Orlando who was recruited to be the company’s chief operating officer, says part of the reason he got involved was to offer Christians a real way to “do something” about what he sees as a pornography crisis in the faith. He was appalled by a recent survey showing that 67% of pastors have a “personal history” with porn use.
Radiant Mobile’s founder, Paul Fisher
Managing website block lists is a professional pivot for Fisher, who spent his career not in telecoms but in fashion; he was an agent for supermodels like Naomi Campbell and members of the Hilton and Getty families, and he later hosted a reality show in which he found people in rehab facilities and homeless shelters and tried to turn them into models. He ultimately left the industry and now says he regrets the role he played in it: “Am I proud that I spent 35 years creating star models or star influencers? Not at all.”
COO: Only those with a pure and unblemished past shall pass the bar to…well, that doesn’t apply to our founder, of course…
On the other hand, then your mobile provider can’t see what you’re doing, so six of this, half a dozen of the other.
So would it be possible for a whole bunch of people to ddos google/other big popular websites ipv4 to ipv6 translation such that their services would still function over ipv6 but make everyone’s day awful if running ipv4. Enough angry customers and pissed off users seems like a very effective way to get isps and mobile service providers to get their act together and start issue sing ipv6 to people.
Trying to DDoS attack Google’s IPv4 services to get your mobile provider to provide IPv6 support seems kind of…indirect.

It looks like it was pretty close around 2009.
For a given user, I suppose that depends largely upon whether what a given end user wants to use character.ai for is copyrighted characters.
EDIT: I’d also add that copyrighting of characters and settings is something of a pet peeve of mine. Historically, many of our great works, like, say, the collection of literature dealing with Greek mythology or around Robin Hood or that sort of thing relied on many unaffiliated authors being able to write about the same set of characters and in the same settings.
But most copyright holders don’t permit that. H. P. Lovecraft was something of an exception, which is why you see so much Cthulhu stuff in random places.
I do think that if you’re Disney, you should have some route to make it clear that you are the original-rights-holder to, say, the Star Wars IP, so that someone else can’t pass off their work as canon as being endorsed by them. You should have some way to distinctly identify yourself, maybe via use of trademark. But I also have grave doubts that we would be unable to fund the creation of fictional works if characters and settings had a fair use exemption, so that a third party was guaranteed the ability to be able to create works in the same fictional universe.

compromised routers and IoT devices
I mean, that’s kind what you’d expect if you stick devices on the Internet and then they don’t get updates.
I bet that the percentage of IoT devices on networks that are actively-maintained and getting updates is not incredibly high.
I don’t know, but my first search turns up this, which looks like the cable in question.

If that’s the right cable, it has gauge and connector data.
Maybe, but I don’t think that the conditions are nearly as bad as they were in 1917. They’re obviously worse than they would have been had Russia not entered into the war, but the collapse in 1917 was due to urban food shortages. I don’t mean “luxury X is unavailable”, but that people couldn’t get staple food to survive because of demands of the war.

Like the French Revolution in 1789, a bread shortage in the capital precipitated unrest. After long shifts in the factories, female factory workers stood in bread lines alongside other women including domestic servants, housewives and soldiers’ widows. In these bread lines, news and rumors about planned rationing spread. When Saint Petersburg municipal authorities announced on March 4 that rationing would begin ten days later, there was widespread panic; bakeries were sacked, their windows broken and supplies stolen.
As he had throughout the previous months, Nicholas once again underestimated the extent of the unrest and again departed for military headquarters more than 400 miles away in Mogliev, which is now in Belarus, against the advice of his ministers. In the czar’s mind, leadership of the military took precedence during wartime, and he was concerned by the mass desertions occurring in the aftermath of munitions shortages and defeats at the hands of the Germans.
Though in past moments of revolutionary sentiment, the military had stood by its czar, by 1917, the armed force was demoralized and sympathetic to the demonstrators’ cause. The presence of large groups of women among the demonstrators made soldiers particularly reluctant to fire on the crowds. When the soldiers joined the demonstrators, as opposed to firing upon them, the end of the Romanov dynasty was near.

There was a severe lack of food in Moscow and, in 1917, Petrograd only received half of the grain required to feed its citizens.
Now, okay. It’s possible that standards for political support are different, that the bar has changed. But the public in Russia of 2026 — though it may be in a worse state than Russia of 2020 due to resources consumed by the war — is also not experiencing the degree of deprivation of Russia of 1917.

Frankly, being taken for $100 on a phone is probably a lot better than putting your life savings into one of Trump’s memecoins or Truth Social, which some people did.
