Wonder if there was a three letter agency that put pressure on

Meshcore nodes can all repeat messages now for the very circumstance you describe

This was a recent enhancement

Just note that many countries and cities are moving away from meshtastic to meshcore (same hardware, better protocol) due to scaling issues inherent in meshtastic

Australia is pretty much entirely meshcore apart from some abandoned derelict meshtastic nodes

The economic and societal impact for everybody is not a win

The extreme privacy invasion and uploading of your photo ID to agencies all over the world with their own nefarious purposes is not a win

It applies to websites not hosted in Australia, that may have Australians visiting the site via VPN

Enforcement is going to be interesting to watch

There are already services that catalogue VPN sources for webmasters to implement block lists

Australian legislation specifically notes that all sites must age challenge users connecting via a VPN

Gaming on BSD isn't as bad as you'd expect. There are Linux compatibility tools that let you run proton/wine on FreeBSD

Random shit breaks sometimes but once you get past the steep learning curve you can play a lot of titles

Australians will have to verify their age to watch pornography from Monday. Here’s what you need to know (www.theguardian.com)
 

The eSafety commissioner’s office has said the age-assurance trial report found geolocation technology and other signals could be used to detect if users are trying to use a VPN. The report itself suggests VPN users should not be blocked, but checked with age verification. That could mean that, if implemented, anyone using a VPN anywhere in the world to access the sites would have to verify their age, despite not being in Australia.

How do you share your albums digitally? (aussie.zone)
 

Been out of the game for about a decade, just wondering what platform everyone uses to share digital albums/event photography with friends and family?

Back in the day imgur, Picasa, 500px and flickr were viable options for the hobbiest but it seems they either no longer exist or are now very, very expensive for low volume nonprofessional sharing

How do you use cpusets on pop? (aussie.zone)
 

I've been trying to create a new cpuset to run some programs with a reduced set of cpu cores, but I seem to be fighting with something my system is already doing because the instructions from the kernel manual don't work. I find cpuset is already mounted, but when I create a directory in /sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset it does not end up with cpuset.cpus in it. It seems cpusets are aleady being used by something else, so not sure how I'd go about this?
