ISPA Internet Villain

Mozilla – for their proposed approach to introduce DNS-over-HTTPS in such a way as to bypass UK filtering obligations and parental controls, undermining internet safety standards in the UK
https://www.ispa.org.uk/ispa-announces-finalists-for-2019-internet-heroes-and-villains-trump-and-mozilla-lead-the-way-as-villain-nominees/



I think the main issue is that they are defaulting Cloudflare.

Still fail to see how that's worse than current default DNS hijacking by ISPs?

Cloudflare are known censors.

is anybody so kind and explain or send me the link to the DCA strategy please?

BTW, we should start something where the WO terms are explained to Newbies like me. Roll Eyes

Heh, not for you, Gysur, but for actual newbs? DCA Made Easy.
Dollar Cost Averaging: Buy some reasonable fixed amount, regularly. Be fearless.

0. Never buy/sell Big Chunks of BTC/$$$

1. Choose some vice/habit/expenditure, that you can quit or reduce. Calculate the cost on an interval of a month or less.

2. Choose an amount you could invest/buy on said interval.

3. Don't sell.

4. {Non-DCA overall good advice} Pick some small % drop that means "I could buy a little more, on the dip".

5. Examine your life. Sell some things (attic mining, @Searing). Buy a few satoshis.

6. Don't borrow money, overextend yourself, or buy BTC on credit.

7. Keep abreast of news/developments, but don't get emotional. Stand tall. We are the champions (of the world).

8. (eventually) have a goal to get off. Not sell out, but a small % reward.

9. What is your goal with your life? Be it lambo/hookers/blow, or travel, freedom from work, or a private island, we all need goals.

10. If you can't sleep, worrying about it? Reduce your position, but never sell all.

Step 1 is important, especially if your vice/habit/expenditure is unhealthy. Look where to conserve in small ways. Pick a 'red beans and rice' night every week. If you go out to see a lot of movies, pick a night to sit outside and watch the stars and listen to music (weather permitting). If possible, go to bed early one night a week, and walk to work, or wherever you are going. Limit your intake of trendy chemical amusement products.

For my own darn self, I quit smoking cigarettes, and spend that money on BTC. If it all goes to zero? I pride myself in still making my life better.

Re-reading this, it seems more philosophical than I am. I just got back from two funeral visitations from two friends that did not take care of themselves. You can't take it with you, live better.

So my stock portfolio is going down. Most of it I can't do anything about it (company stock, must keep 5 years before selling, free stock as a compensation).

But my BTC portfolio is also going down !

Not that bad (for either) but still, I would have expected an inverse correlation, or at least BTC hodling better.

Gold is going up in the meantime, I know someone is gloating...

[snippage ensues]
I still own a pair of (working) Compaq 'sewing machine' 8088-based PC clones. DOS on floppy, store to floppy. Woo-hoo!

I keep an 8 inch floppy disk at my desk, beside my 5 pound IBM Model M keyboard. Winderrs keys are for losers! The Model M is a daily driver, the 8 inch floppy is just a momento.

Since Dec. 31 when the Coronavirus became global disaster news, Bitcoin is up big, gold is up a decent amount and stocks are down.

King Bitcoin is gloating, as it is the best Safe Haven so far during the Coronavirus crisis.

Safe Havens dont go up every single day, they outperform other assets in a crisis, just like Bitcoin has done.

With how things are accelerating with the virus, do you think it could be "over" in a way quicker than first thought, basically things going back to this being a "bad flu year" but no more going crazy with quarantines, closing plants, closing schools, stopping tournaments, things that are proving ineffective anyway, aside from hurting the economy ?

No. There is no stopping this thing. Until we have a working, reliable, cheap cure, we are dealing with the Big One.

Coronavirus update:
<…>

Italy and Iran looking scary..



Iran looking scary to me: higher than 10% mortality rate.
Either the virus has mutated in Iran, and now it is more deadly than ever or Iranian authorities are downmarking infected numbers.
Scary on both ways

They will have less protests and more control over their people. You just need to close entire cities and areas.

Anyone here from the northern Italy? Or China? South Korea? Or Japan, Singapor? I know all of them have the new technology which is called 5 G. Can this really help to prevent virus. That's what they say that it can help to combat the virus.

Not sure what you're smoking/snorting but I am very interested. It doesn't mess you up, since you typed the message clearly, but it does produce a very imaginative high. Where can I get it?

I don't believe. I just asked is it true. Based on the media which says that 5 g is helping them to reduce the damage.
