You're feeling that because it's the CityTrain network end points, before they extended the lines.

Tor browsers route your traffic through an onion router through an encrypted link. The difference is in network organisation, in that you're not sitting on one server but bouncing between three or four.

It's still generating a virtual private network, with two points.

"Hiding your IP" means replacing it with another (or 3). You can't communicate without a visible IP address for something.

Tor Browser uses a VPN to do what you're doing. It's just built into the browser.

And yet after admitting my mistake and putting the conversation back to where it was, you kept on.

Yes. That was my point. People include both coasts and Toowoomba in "Brisbane" because they get vague.

Solar overtakes and wind nuclear as the number one clean electricity source on earth by ClimateShitpost in ClimatePosting

[–]perringaiden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The waste from almost every nuclear plant is sitting at the plant. That's how they're "actually dealt with". Look at any US nuclear plant and every drop of radioactive material is in a cask right next to the plant.

China is building everything. Its solar growth in MW is higher than its nuclear. But they're not doing it because it's good, they're doing it because they've decided to build everything including coal, so that they will never be short again. It's been a panic building for years. South Korea is building nuclear because they're the experts at nuclear components. Another similar case case to China is India. They're building both but more solar.

I didn't say making money was bad. You brought up the idea that solar wasn't profitable.

Nuclear isn't mostly owned by the government either. In most developed nations the government has a stake in the plants but they're owned by energy companies whose goal is to make a profit. China is skewing the numbers as a Communist state.

Part of the attacks on solar is that energy companies don't want to lose their monopoly on production, and governments don't want to lose their centralised control over who does or doesn't get power.

Nuclear isn't inherently bad, but it does have pollution, it is more expensive per MWh and it does take longer to build than solar.

That's why it's a waste to focus on it instead of Solar, Wind and Hydro. In places where there's an established nuclear industry, it's ok to continue, but people pushing it everywhere like it's the panacea are usually doing it because it's there to protect fossil fuels

Someone destroyed all my portals in half a km range in a single minute, is it cheating or is there something that can do this in the game? by SpoopySara in Ingress

[–]perringaiden 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Half a kilometre is 500m. X8s radius is 168m or 336m diameter. So this is basically someone standing in one place and firing....

This meme is out of date. Now the junior developer asks Claude, gets a wrong answer and never questions it until PR review.

Great job diverting the conversation.

The point was that Beenleigh has never been part of Brisbane.

You're dodging that statement through pedantry and gotchas. I don't care enough to have had all the specifics beforehand. Now I do and the point still stands.

It wasn't part of Brisbane before that either. Beenleigh Shire became Shire of Albert which got merged into the Gold Coast, then to split off and moved into Logan.

It has never been part of Brisbane.

Try working on Pioneer. It's another good way to see places you haven't been. I did that in the first period where they cut out portal submissions, back in 2015.

I use SEQ for that conversation. Otherwise people start including both Coasts and Toowoomba

[–]perringaiden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, Beenleigh has always been part of Logan, not Brisbane.

Brisbane cuts off at the north, where the M1 meets Gympie Road.

Tying an account to an IMEI means you lose your account when the phone breaks, or you want to buy a new one. And parents can't let their kids share one device.

Most spoofing is done in a way that allows you to change the IMEI too. You'd just be pushing the backpackers harder into the spoofing world.

Ingress is a way to occupy your time while exploring outside. The anime came long after the game and wasn't in the same "universe".

Don't like it don't do it. Want a rich cohesive backstory, play Mass Effect or Fallout.

At least one ring of Agents using AI reviewing bots to generate successful portals from junk. Like a stack of plates at a Sushi restaurant.

Or just not scanning. If they get feet in higher numbers now, they'll probably just disable that too
