You can try block some of the known lists which are maintained. That can help + the country blocks. Also if you have pfsense and anti-ddos protection it can help against ddos if you have enough bandwidth like at ovh for example.

Here is a quick procedure on how to do it.

  1. login to cloudflare
  2. choose your domain
  3. On left side window click "Security"
  4. On the drop-down window under security click WAF
  5. Make a new rule to block some countries.

On my site I block China, Korea North, Ukraine, Russian Federation, Tor, Brazil, Singapore

There is a drop down list of countries that make it easy, once you figure out who to block.

They are banned. They come back under new names. We don't have a sophisticated system for pre-emptively blocking them.

And like another user said, new accounts should be limited to how much they can post in a single day.

Maybe that would be a net positive, but it would have a chilling effect on actual new people. When you show up to a forum for the first time and post a few things and then it says "no more," you tend to kinda move on and forget about that forum.

You are right. According to Catholic philosophy, robots can't know or love AT ALL because you need a spirit made in the image of God for either of those things. They can store concepts in represented form, but can't really know them.

To love is to will the good. They can't do that since they have no free will.

Angels aren't material and never will be, yet they can know and love because they too are spirits made in the image of God, but very different than us in other ways.

However, if God were to create a spirit for a robot, he could indeed make one capable of loving.

The problem with that idea, is that Earth is far too large.

Deforestation and cities also have large impact.

Changing weather from a few airplanes or other systems is extremely hard, and you can
only have effect on things that are already close to happening.

Cancer is caused by anything that destroys cells, bacteria, viruses, chemicals, etc. when healthy cells are destroyed your body makes new ones using DNA and the more it has to do this the more the process fucks up with mutations because radiation particles flying through hit the dna molecules and knock some off, so your body forms tumors instead of healthy new cells. This is why we all die eventually of old age too. Cell replication breaks down. Scientists have to know this, they must just do "breakthrough studies" like this so they have something new to publish.

My theory is that decades ago, when air planes were invented or shortly after, scientists and rich folks immediately started experimenting with weather modification by spraying chemicals in the air. They saw how major portions of land on earth is unusable because of cold climate and permafrost, that's potential being unused. They knew people would notice temperatures rising so they made up this climate change science to explain it. The data doesn't show that temperatures will rise but it's not looking at the chemicals they're spraying or considering that they can alter it and the amounts whenever they want so the past isn't predictive of the future. I think temperatures will rise, it won't be a doomsday or an apocalypse, it'll make some land more valuable.

You say it is fine, but he does not have to run for president in order to receive more US government funding than the typical American-born citizen will ever receive in their lifetime. Likewise, the leader of Ukraine does not need to be president of the United States in order to receive billions of American money. The United States is being looted and sold out to other nations. Soon, America will fall and be no more.... conquered by its enemies. The individuals that repent and turn to Jesus shall be saved.

I appreciate you sharing those notes. Now I see it is possible for pepper plants to live even longer than two seasons! The pepper plants seem to be like short-lived tropical trees.

Are you having good results with Gab? I asked if I should take the COVID "vaccine" and according to the instructions posted above, Gab did not recommend it. I was allowed to ask 3 questions before it insisted I provide my email address.

But how good are these instructions? It was stated repeatedly that the instructions should never be printed, and yet there it is.

My parents have a singular serrano plant left but it's a very productive plant, we have a hard time using up the harvests, and it's been alive at least three years now.

I have a serrano plant that's even older, but it's a tiny bonsai like plant. It's got 7 peppers and that's yuuuge for it.

And I'm trying to replace my Filipino pepper plant. That one must have been six years old before it died. That was sad, I loved that plant, but they live 3-9 years so I guess it was just its time. I don't know if this was normal but before it perished it did start putting out way more peppers than usual. A last gasp chance at propagating offspring perhaps.

So, they will eventually die, but you can definitely keep the same plants going for years.

I have read suggestions about pruning them way back before overwintering but I've never done it. And we don't exactly have proper winters.

TIL

Something I've perhaps learned on Saidit is that the disinformation of the far right has reached in its followers a level of psychosis. Today on the BBC news they interviewed a pro-Trump supporter outside the courtroom - a middle-age lady - who said genuinely that if Trump is put in jail 'we'll go home and get our guns and start a civil war'. Part of me wants to see them try and fail at that. But it's sadly much worse to have the normalization of some of their insane beliefs in the daily news and across all social media. And of course the rest of the world is watching this small group of schizo dumbasses, sometimes identifying them as standard Americans.

Thanks for the info. Seems he's in an opposite universe where everything is in the form of dumb schizo talking points, from far right social media websites, which is worse than what I recall of his earlier posts and comments.

Government "experts" told farmers, who had only farmed for generations, that they were doing it wrong, and that they could double or triple crop yields by planting seeds closer together. Those crops all failed.

They also ordered farmers to produce steel, which they had no means to produce, so they'd melt down their farm equipment into slag in order to meet their "steel" quota, which would be used to make bridges that would later collapse. But without sparrows to kill bugs, with failed crops due to government farm science, and without farm equipment, they starved to death.

According to NOAA it is 1 foot in the last 100 and 6 inches of that have been in the last 30 years.

10-12 inches in the last 100 years for the US is not the same as a foot globally. Neither is it incompatible with a global mean rise of 8 inches over that time.

They go on to claim another foot in the next 30 years. This will not happen.

How do you know it won't happen?

They claimed that New York would already be under water.

No one claimed that.

They claimed that the Arctic ocean would be ice free by now.

One paper, looking at the huge drop in sea ice in the summer of 2007 projected that the arctic would be ice free by now.

"Hur dur global warming exists" is not a valid excuse.

"Hur dur sientis lighd" is not a valid argument.

It does not excuse their lies.

Science progresses by correcting errors. No one is lying. It's called finding things out.

It absolutely does not justify drastic and harmful government policies, including those that simply cost a lot of money.

Adaptation is more expensive than amelioration. So we should spend money to ameliorate. Because not doing so will simply cost a lot of money.

Global warming is not an existential threat, it is an inconvenience at best.

This is from the same school of thought that brought us "disproving claims of climate alarmists about rising sea levels" by misreporting a paper showing that sea levels were reducing the land area of islands, but some were expanding due to human land filling.

Sorry if I don't trust you, but the denialist industry puts out a lot of lies.

Controlling CO2 will not slow down global warming in any meaningful way.

I don't trust you any more. What's your best proof of that?

Except that the it is so people have been caught lying in the past

This paper was by Yuxin Zhang,Hao Li,Dong Li,Xiyong Hou,Peng Guo & Jiawei Guo. Can you point to where they have been caught lying in the past, please.

and the it's not so people are relentlessly silenced and slandered.

Funny you should mention slander, having just implied that 5 people have been caught lying in the past, without providing any instances. But who do you claim has been silenced and slandered because they said that the sea level was not rising?

The vast majority of sea level rise happened millions of years ago.

I'm not sure what that even means. The sea level rises and falls primarily with the amount of ice sheet on the planet. What happened "millions of years ago", and how are you accounting for sea level rise to say that "the vast majority" of it happened then?

That kind of sea level rise will never happen again because the vast majority of the ice caps have already melted.

There's about 80 metres of sea level rise left in the ice caps. That would displace nearly a third of the world's population. Surely that's of some concern independent of what happened millions of years ago?

The sea level rise propaganda claims that catastrophic sea level rise will happen in the near future

Can you link me to an example of "sea level rise propaganda"? I don't have a sense of "catastrophic sea level rise" or what you mean by "near future".

But when you call out that propaganda everyone starts shifting the goal posts and claiming they did not say that.

In the current example, a study showed that of 13,000 islands nearly 1000 were shrinking and nearly 800 had grown, the growth mostly due to human land filling.

And this has been reported here as "Approximately 13,000 islands around the world have increased land mass over two decades, disproving claims of climate alarmists about rising sea levels".

Explain again which side is pushing out propaganda, because I'm not seeing your point of view.

But an inch over 100 years is not significant.

Sea level rise was ten times that thirty years ago. It has accelerated about 30% since then. Currently it's rising an inch in between 7 and 8 years.

During the last ice age, the concentration of atmospheric CO2 was, on average, 180 ppm. Today it's 423ppm.

The last time it was about 4,000 ppm (which is 10x higher, not 100x higher) was during the Ordovician. That was 500 million years ago, and the surface temperature at that point was an average of 120 degrees Fahrenheit, compared to 59 degrees today.
