The headline is nuts. There’s no hidden universe on the ocean floor. I’ll fix the headline:
“Scientists Found Evidence of Distant Cosmic Events Using a Detector on the Ocean Floor”

Yes, well stated. This is why I usually skip reading people’s comments. The vast majority see everything through their own agendas and just echo words they hear.


My Mastodon instance is on the list. I try hard to block them.
The problem with the list is that it’s a target list, but not a list showing how much content, if any, they manage to process from any of the sites.
I’m on the Mozilla VPN which uses Mullvad and I don’t see a problem.


This tells me that you’d be in a lot of trouble if you lost your phone or had to wipe it because someone got into it. It’s probably good then that you’re now thinking about this so you can prepare for a time when you won’t have your phone for other reasons.
All sites supporting 2FA usually allow you to use a second method. Email is usually an alternative. Assuming that your email is your universal second OTP method, you just need to make sure you will always have access to your email account and you’ll be fine. So just solve for the OTP problem for your email account.
Pre-buy your burner phone and make it a second OTP device for your email account. For more assurance, buy a couple of physical keys (like Yubikey) that can be used with your email account. These can also be set up for some of your other accounts that support it, which may be more convenient than email when accessing them.


This better be an April Fools joke
Well said
I see no legitimate reason for not using a User Agent string, like all the other crawlers use, other than the desire to hide the crawler and make it difficult to block.
I don’t accept his explanation. I see it as gaslighting.
Yes, it’s worth it. I own mine for just the reason you give. You can take it to any other provider. And there’s no danger of the email provider deciding to close your account or cutting you off unexpectedly. Imagine losing your email access. At least with your own domain, you can switch it that same day to someone else.
Unsure about whois lookup privacy. My registrar hides my details as an option. Anyone looking up the domain just sees them as the contact for the domain.


You can go to https://hear-me.social/ and click on the register button. This puts up a Cloudflare managed challenge screen which endlessly loops when using Pale Moon. It would be interesting to see if Waterfox has the same issue.


I just duplicated this. I downloaded Pale Moon and went to https://hear-me.social/ and clicked on “Register”. It puts up a Cloudflare “managed challenge” which loops endlessly when using Pale Moon, but not the other browsers I’ve tried it with, including Zen, another Firefox fork.
It’s a problem, for sure.


I used a straight edge. They aren’t lined up.


Everyone is answering about wearing a mask, when the poster clearly makes the point that they don’t have one. They can’t just poof it from the air. The answers are not helpful.
The question is about whether shallow breathing and nose or mouth breathing is better. It’s a very particular question. An interesting question.
Does anyone know, with real scientific knowledge, what the answer to this specific question is? Can anyone answer to the specific question?
Proton Mail, Tuta mail, runbox.com, to name three.
