Hmmm, there's always some degree of fraud in practically every election, it's just that the number of occurrences are incredibly small. It would be insanely difficult to commit election fraud on such a massive scale were you would be able to swing multiple states (but just for the president mind you, not for the rest of the ticket). I remember the days when things like actual evidence were needed in order to substantiate such outlandish claims. Now, it seems like you can get tens of millions of people to believe anything if you just repeat the same lie over and over again. Just remember, the simplest explanation is usually the right one (law of parsimony).

Yeah, but Trump IS Trump. I mean, he is the thing that people are following, and unlike the other groups you've mentioned, he's in a position of unbelievable power... and with that power comes influence. And when you try to use your power and influence as the sitting president of the United States to rally up all of the backyard pretend soldiers to incite an insurrection against the very country that you represent --we'll then you shouldn't be surprised that this is happening. Just can't believe your reaction to this is....'well what about these other groups', really!? I guess in your world no one needs to be held to account as long there's someone else you point to and say 'what about them'? Whataboutism: it is a word that was coined to describe the frequent use of a rhetorical diversion by Soviet apologists and dictators, who would counter charges of their oppression, "massacres, gulags, and forced deportations" by invoking American slavery, racism, lynchings, etc.

Agreed. The demand is high and someone will eventually will figure it out
Hell, just look at all the github projects where people have developed drivers and workarounds to get devices working in Linux:
https://github.com/MCMrARM/mbp...
https://github.com/cb22/macboo...
https://github.com/roadrunner2...
https://github.com/davidjo/snd...
https://github.com/leifliddy/m...
https://github.com/Dunedan/mbp...

I would imagine that scanning ipv6 subnets to discover such devices would take an extraordinary amount of time.

Better to be useful idiot than a useless coward

Having loads of libraries makes it easier to focus on the 'plumbing' rather than creating your own libraries or functions that oftentimes only serve to solve common problems experienced by many other people. I can't tell you how many times I've searched the internet for how to solve a programming logic issue only to find that several other people that have already experienced and solved the exact same issue (which oftentimes involves importing a library). To me, the highest metric by which to judge a programming language by --is its overall functionality. A language is more functional if you can write a program in 1000 lines (via importing libraries) vs 5000 lines (without importing libraries). If the average Joe can learn to write a useful program in Python in a fairly short period of time, that my friend is positive aspect of the language, not a negative one. I've heard it all before 'oh, it's beginner's language', 'it's not a serious language', 'real men write in c'....etc. That's all complete BS. It all comes down to whether the language being used is the right tool for the right job. This isn't a d**k sucking contest. I don't care who the best coder in the world is. What I care about is creating something highly-functional with the least amount of effort. It's hard to argue against that train of thought....unless you consider yourself a 'purist'.

For ssh or other types of authentication that will only ever be used by you (and not the general public), use wireguard https://www.wireguard.com/ It's MUCH easier to configure and setup then openvpn or ipsec. It also supports a ton of cool features like IP roaming, and can be installed on any Linux/Windows system including openwrt. As far as ssh goes, I don't ever have to worry about brute force attacks any more. Even though I enforce public key authentication, it still sucks to have invalid ssh attempts polluting the log files. If I'm on a system that doesn't have wireguard installed (ie a work computer) I use https://github.com/tsl0922/tty... to gain shell access via a web browser (nginx reversed proxied --> https and password protected via auth_basic) I still use fail2ban for some things like nginx-http-auth, but not for ssh (port 22 only binds to my wireguard ip address). I'm not trying to preach here, but if you haven't tried it, give wireguard a shot.

I couldn't help but laugh while reading this comment. It's so true. WTF is an average joe standard-fare windows user even using a raspberry pi for? It's a single-board computer designed to get people (especially kids) interested in computers. It's meant to encourage experimentation and exploration of technology. And...well....Windows isn't really compatible with that ethos. Microsoft is corporate behemoth that creates a proprietary closed-sourced software hindered by all sorts of crazy licenses for the sole purpose of making MONEY. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but Microsoft products in general are geared more towards the corporate environment, not the 'hey I want to find out what makes this thing tick' environment.
