Why on earth would you want to do this?
For example to stream windows only games from my basement server to lightweight linux-based HTPC in my living room.

Cloud services which use client-side encryption can store your private data securely. Mega.co.nz for example offers 50GB of storage space for free and they have support for linux, windows, mac nad android.
For copyrights, the content creator's remaining natural life plus ten years, or 40 years total, which ever is longer.
Reasonable limit would be 10 years initialy + 10 year extension if the creator wishes so. The best solution would be to abolish copyright completely and provide money for creators in some other way without artificial limits on content distribution. Current copyright doesn't help creators, it is tailored for the needs of distributors because it is a mean to control distribution. Creators don't need distribution limits (it is actualy bad for them as it lowers their exposure to potential audience), they need money.
Patent law is more complex and i think that the current model is not so bad, the problem is the patent office which is not competent in patent aplication review and juridical system which makes invalidation of bogus patents expensive and lengthy and which enables patent trolls to thrive.
Gravitational lensing does not require either dark matter or dark energy. I find it odd that the NASA link discusses Einstein as the person that came up with the theory, yet fails to mention that Einstein did not theorize these two "dark" things. Gravitational lensing is a result of having curved space and obviously gravity. Dark * is not required nor expected..
Einsteins theory doesn't use gravity at all. It works with mass and energy which cause curved spacetime which then causes gravitational lensing. The dark matter is predicted by this effect because we can't detect enough normal matter to justify the level of light-bending we can observe. Dark matter is also predicted by several other observable phenomena like the speed galaxies rotate around each other or cosmic microwave background.
It's a blockchain. It's know what portions were stolen. Send a message out to all people involved in this scheme to not accept them.
Oh right - that would undermine the illusion of "freedom".
Please try to send the message and let us know how it worked. I think that you'll discover that your "illusion of freedom" is very far from actual reality.
This is a great experiment that I hope the whole world is watching closely.
What is so great about it? Isn't it just another government-issued currency?
Jitsi looks realy nice. I want to try it myself when i need videoconferencing later this year. There is also Jitsi videobridge which you can deploy on your server and use Jitsi meet web client to connect to it. Or you can use 3rd party maintained instalation of videobridge available at https://meet.jit.si/
Can anyone recommend a SOHO-level router that properly supports IPv6?
If you understand networks and are not afraid to setup your own router from scratch, i recommend mikrotik router boards. For home use, i'd use something like RB951G-2HnD
The problem with that is how many home users know how to configure the firewall?
Probably the same amount who knows how to configure NAT. Fortunately the routers manufacturers usualy take care of the configuration for them.
The big advantage is that all my computers are reachable through the internet
Depending on your point of view, that may also be considered as a down-side.
With IPv4 you have only one option - hide your network behind nat and be unreachable from internet.
With IPv6 you can choose between your network being reachable from internet and your network protected by firewall from outside connections.
I fail to see how IPv6 which gives you more freedom can be considered down-side from any reasonable point of view.
Russia already has a history of, at the very least, being a prime suspect for taking down a plane. The only difference now is that the world is actually watching this show more carefully.
Our local Czech news reported yesterday about Putin saying that Ukrainian government is responsible for the accident because it happened in their territory. I wonder if it means that he has taken responsibility for all aircraft shootings which happened previously in the russian/soviet territory:)
Whistleblowing, witness protection, for example. For most other cases anonymity degenerates into a cesspool of behavior that is not accepted in normal society. See every unmoderated anonymous internet forum ever.
We are talking about pseudoanonymity here, not anonymity. And we are talking about moderated discussion. I disagree that it is only usefull in special circumstances. Using real name is big security risk for anyone. Internet is vast and you never know what deranged individual will take interest in your person. If you provide your real name, you are opening yourself to several identity theft related attacks which can be very nasty. This is very old topic which was perfectly explored for example in this article Anonymity and privacy on the network from 1992.
Yeah if you had it on all the time and mounted on your face.
There are no such requirements for this method of password stealing to work.
OMG lets make banks illegal, it is the next bitcoin.
This story nicely ilustrates that even the old financial system with it's chargebacks and deposit insurances is not imune to scam and theft.
Not to mention the environmental damage is huge. They use a ton of electricity to basically do nothing...
They don't do nothing. They try to secure (so far quite successfully) the first and biggest distributed cryptocurrency and payment network.
