No, you said:

I would simply win the civil war instead of losing

Which indicates quite clearly that you believe military power should decide whether a nation has the right to independence. You don't get to try to deflect that ex post facto. You either admit that this is what you genuinely believe in spite of its obvious morality problem, or you admit that you were wrong to make such a statement and acknowledge that your ideas about national independence need changing.

I see, so "might makes right" for you then?

I appreciate you making your sense of morality - or lack thereof - so very clear.

Yes, an authoritarian government with a lot of economic and military power just made it a crime to even speak about their own country's independence, so they have legitimate reason to be afraid.

Just don't walk behind them, or they might try to kick you.

This is really good advice for basically every animal with hooves. They mostly have a blind spot directly behind, like horses:

If you walk up behind them inside that blind spot and then move out to either side and suddenly appear in their vision, they'll react defensively, usually by trying to kick you with their hind legs.

Basically if you can't see the animal's eyes then assume it can't see you, and stay out of kicking range.

Or just reinstalls it in the next update.

I'm having trouble understanding your point. What is the "quiet part"? That representatives from a foreign government visited Taipei?

[–] NaibofTabr@infosec.pub 7 points 1 week ago

You're right, and many will choose to work holidays in order to make extra money, because minimum wage isn't really enough to support anyone.

Still, the government should be doing everything in its power to make voting easy, accessible and penalty-free.

"Mostly harmless"

At the very least we could make voting day a national holiday, so it isn't costing people money to vote.

Right now people are essentially being paid by their employers to not vote, and mostly just minimum wage.

What's your vector, Victor?

But have you broken all ten of the commandments? gotta get those numbers up.

You're welcome. I tried to do basically the same thing a few years back (run a WordPress site from a RPi on my home network - and also a Minecraft server) and so I tried to write up the problems I ran into - I probably forgot some, but those are the major hurdles. I learned a lot along the way.

I should also point out that if you rent hosting space (from linode or inmotion or digitalocean or many other options) then problems 1 & 4 become much easier, and 2 & 3 go away entirely (most people don't host public websites on their home networks because of these and other issues).

Happy to help. If you're interested in learning networking more thoroughly, I want to point you to Professor Messer especially the Network+ content. He has far more complete explanations than I could write (and it's free!). Even if you're not interested in getting any certs, the explanations will be helpful.
