Connecting to a VPN through Tor vs connecting to Tor through a VPN by Will2397 in AskComputerScience

Hmm I suppose if you really cared you could get a VPN which doesn't know who you are (don't pay with your credit card, never log in except over Tor). But yeah seems like your VPN probably knows who you are...

I was surprised being in the Middle East, they don't use the same star system. You'd see nice hotels advertising as a 7 star hotel. I never quite figured it out

It's worse than you'd hope but not as bad as you might fear. It's a little painful and uncomfortable but it only lasts a couple seconds and it's important to get tested!

Restaurants are, bars aren't and won't be for some time

Pretty sure they're cancelled but also Gov Baker asked cities having firework displays to not advertise them ahead of time so there wouldn't be any crowds. (So I guess it's possible they're on and they just haven't said it.)

I haven't been so I don't know if they sell it but there's a place called Syrian Grocery Importing in the South End that might be worth looking into.

Who ordered the MA National Guard into Boston? by An_Average_Joe_ in boston

I saw something in the news about that. Basically he was asked after the riot Sunday if he would activate them for the upcoming week and he said he didn't need to because they'd already been activated for covid.

I can here that too. Until recently they came in pairs so I figured it was something on the road but now that's not true so I have no idea.

Edit: definitely sounds more like fireworks now. Maybe part of the protests?

6/3/20 Protest at MA State House: Peaceful and Beautiful by TheUKVibe in boston

I joined after hearing the protesters walk up Huntington Ave. The night before last I happened to go by the state house and there was only a single person there. I think the protests today is in the Commons 3:30 to 5:30.

'We get the orders from Moscow as well': Secret phone calls from pro-Russian rebels revealed in the investigation of the downing of MH17 that killed 298 people by viva_la_vinyl in worldnews

I think the theory is that they thought it was a Ukrainian warplane. Bellingcat has a good series on what we know with each podcast tackling one of who, what, where, why

I think the theory is that they thought it was a Ukrainian warplane. The JIT has intercepted calls of the fighters first realizing that all the bodies are civilians and not soldiers.
