#coinbase is shutting down its #services in #japan https://news.bitcoin.com/coinbase-shutti.. Some have speculated it's because of #japanese #regulation , but I suspect it is to do with #japanese #government #bonds . #coinbase could be dragged under by the #japanese #government and all the #execs get #jailed anyway.
I just finished watching #thisengland , it was a weird mixture of #nonfiction and #fiction . It makes the #health #services out to be perfect and every #politician out to be disastrous. It's as if it was written by somebody not actually around during #covid . I'm glad they also #subtitled this shite for our #european friends so that they can believe this is what really happened in #britain and the #uk .
Great, now the #uk #government is picking up the #bankofengland #boes 's #tab https://www.zerohedge.com/economics/uk-t.. This never goes well... I still don't think there is a nice way out of this. The #uk #government should be cutting #services effective immediately.
Really nice #custom #metal #watch #build ! https://hackaday.com/2022/08/18/put-3d-m.. I never knew that #metal 3D #printing #services were now #available to the average person!
Oh shit, #srilanka 's #government is now #fuel #rationing to #essential #services only: https://www.newsfirst.lk/2022/06/27/brea.. This does not bode well for normal people...
Very cool #idea for the #uk #government to roll out it's own #cloud #service to #government #services https://www.cloud.service.gov.uk/ Should lead to some interesting results!
Wow, #ubereats are #charging people for #services they haven't received - and this #behaviour is based into their shitty #app https://old.reddit.com/r/assholedesign/c.. Literally #illegal - but the #bank and #visa #protect #uber in this case. If you try to #cancel the #transaction you'll get #blocked indefinitely. It's insane this is even possible.
Very interesting to see which #messenger #apps the #fbi can #access or not: https://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/2.. Some of these #services come out pretty well, such as #signal and #telegram ...
I agree with the use of #forums rather than #message #services https://www.mooreds.com/wordpress/archiv.. I look at something like #pine 's #forum building up quite the #knowledgebase during these days. I always thought that what we are missing is a #hybrid #model - something more towards #reddit 's #ui but with the ability to instantly #reply ... Not entirely sure, more thought required!
Interesting #discussion on #hackaday about the #plausibility of #carbon #sequestration https://hackaday.com/2021/10/15/carbon-s.. A number of people have pointed out now that these appear to be mostly #opportunistic #services promising future #improvements ...
Interesting, #kape , formerly #crossrider , a former #malware distributor, now owns tonnes of #vpn #services and #review #websites https://restoreprivacy.com/kape-technolo.. This includes some of the most popular services in the world, including #expressvpn , #pia #privateinternetaccess, #cyberghost , etc.. Something *extremely* strange going on here.
Might be a good time to buy up the #gold - as many are selling in favour of a #bitcoin #hedge against #inflation https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/jpmorg.. The price of #bitcoin is based on #stable #coin #conversion #services - #tether is on the absolute brink of #collapse - and is #unstable at the best of times.
I agree with #drewdevault that it's awesome to see these #alternative #frontend #services for major #websites - including #youtube and #twitter in the form of #invideous and #nitter https://drewdevault.com/2021/09/23/Nitte.. I have been considering for a while now to code an ultra-basic web front end for downloading #youtube #videos just for my own use - making use of #youtubedl for the #backend ...
A #belgian #isp was under a 250 Gbps #ddos #attack https://issues.edpnet.be/ This is really getting insane. Many people in the #hackernews #comments are also receiving similar attacks: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=285.. It's only a matter of time before other #services and #servers are also attacked.
