>>624 Anon, this happens with a LOT of legislation. Major corps backing minimum wage laws, tax increases, more regulations, etc.. They do it because it increases the barriers to entry, making them more dominant, crushing their competition, and centralizing their market share.

>>623 >Definitely call up your congressman and senators and complain loudly. This cannot be allowed to pass. We will all become criminals overnight. It's just like SOPA/PIPA/TPP/FOSTCA/SESTA/etc., they can keep trying over and over again (encryption in particular has been going on since the clipper chip debates in the 90s) until they find some sneaky way (like the SESTA shit) to eventually get the legislation they always wanted to begin with. I'm already incredibly fatalistic about it. I can see the writing on the wall. They're going to get this shit passed even though everybody on the internet is against it. So, I'd rather skip to what I can actually do (because 'calling your senator' has about the same staying power as that online petition to get a new season of Firefly). If I have to move to steganographic protocols, for example, I think that'd be the most reasonable move that within my scope of what I could reasonably do in my life.

>>627 Yeah, let's just wait until the day that the MANE (Monopolies Are Not Evil) Act gets passed allowing monopolies to actually be allowed. (No, it's not an actual thing, but with how things are going, I don't doubt that some legislation is going to come out legitimately allowing monopolies instead of corporate loopholes that allow them to be "not" monopolies) >>628 Yeah, it's sad. They only have to pass this one time whereas everyone else has to vote against it until they stop. While your congressman and senators may not do much, just remember to cast your vote for actual people that genuinely care about your privacy rather than corporate sock-puppets.

Thanks but I am already LGR Pilled myself.

>>411 The cable's fine and had been attached firmly before the heatsink was placed on. HP's Alvorix motherboard puts the 4-pin ATX12V plug in a weird spot The pre-built BIOS has a protection in place that makes the computer refuse to boot (it'll just warn of a failure and shut down after a few seconds) if the fan either runs slow or reports no speed to the board. For extra info, this heatsink's on a processor (AMD Phenom II X6 1045T) that outputs 95 watts of heat (most CPU info tools report the TDP as 94.8 watts, though.)

>>412 So what's the concern about the setup? If the heatsink is firmly attached to the motherboard then orientation doesn't matter. If it tries to POST and the only error is the fan then it's otherwise fine. If it needs fan speed then you should check and make sure the CPU fan is plugged-in correctly and is reporting data; only one of those pins is responsible for that.

>>353 All .onion are secure since you never leave the network. The .onion address itself acts as the website's public key. We could issue an SSL certificate for the .onion address, too, but it would provide little in the way of additional security for the user. It would only be an additional assurance that nobody has hijacked our keys and has configured an imitation website. If you really want it then I'll add it to the list of stuff to do, but it will be very low-priority. Since we don't have bumplocks implemented yet, I'll be removing this thread tomorrow. In the future you can ask questions that don't need their own thread in the tech support sticky. There was actually a discussion about Tor there just last week which is pertinent.

>>357 thank you kind nigger
