Impressive. Operated a 2 Billion dollar scam on the Facebook page of the Central Investigation Bureau. No wonder they got angry. Also hot damn must the CIB have many followers. 🙂

Reporting trolls is not even ratting. Ratting usually involves some kind of betrayal of friends or people who belong to the same group. You are a stranger on the internet trolling people. If someone reports that it's not ratting, it's just house keeping - removing people who want to disrupt conversations and annoy others. If people don't do that then constructive people leave and things devolve into complete shttery pretty fast. There are other places on the web for that.

Well that's how it's supposed to work. If you bait/troll people then people should report you for that. Maybe stop baiting?

Holy crap that post is pure gold. So concise but working on so many levels and angles given the context. 🤣 🤣

Being baited or being punished for baiting?

Seems fair? To me the first sentence sounds like you abused the emoji system to harass another user and not as a genuine reaction to a post. I of course can't say for sure because I don't know the exact circumstances and posts but that's what it sounds like.

It's not the features that are the problem, it's how some users use them that's the issue. You can abuse emoji reactions same as you can abuse text posts. That you use them "for the hell of it" and you admiting that you like to bait certain users shows that you abuse the features and should not be surprised if you get warned or suspended.

I think it's fair to assume that Russia attacking NATO would be the start of WW3. All bets are off and I would not count on pensions anywhere, even in your home country. The primary objective would be to find a safe place where your life is not threatened. Second step would then be to see how one can have a life in that location but there are always ways to at least find some lodging and food if one is at all capable of doing something productive. I would not rely on the state or any other third person taking care of me apart from maybe family. So money transfers etc would be not high on my list of concerns as long as I am a bit prepared. In fact I always think it's good advise to not rely too much on others and to always have multiple options.

I think it's impossible to make general guidelines like that. What if the post was misinformation? Should I not post to correct it? Why should people skip posting on things they disagree with? Either these guidelines don't represent the core idea you had in mind or I would say I would disagree with them. What's a forum for if not discussion? Do you want it to be a Q&A kinda site with news added? How about this guideline: * I should try to assume good faith on others posts * I should answer in a respectful manner * When disagreeing I should reply to the argument and not call the other poster names or use shallow replies * I should aim to post truthful information (if needed with supporting sources in certain forums) * I should aim to foster a productive conversation * I should stay on-topic as reasonable as possible * I should think before I post and maybe consider a time out if I feel I get angry or upset by what I read * I should not post conspiracy theories

A bit drastic no? I think it's fair to say the premise is not realistic. But let's play along. IF Putin were to attack NATO (which he wont) and IF I would have to flee and IF places like Australia rejected non-skilled EU residents (which they wouldn't in case of war) and IF I were not a high-skilled person (which I am) then I guess staying in Thailand wouldn't be such a bad option UNLESS China joins the fray and drags the whole of SEA into it as well. If that were the case then maybe somewhere in the middle of nowhere in Spain might be pretty safe. Maybe Canary Islands?

Compared to NATO Russia is a joke. Number of soldiers doesn't mean much if these forces clash but the difference in active military personnel is not much. NATO has the most advanced weapon systems in the world and represents more than 50% of the worlds GDP. Russia represents about 2%. Either way both have more than enough to destroy significant parts of the other side if it came down to it. That's the most Russia could achieve, they could never win, only inflict significant damage but then get destroyed themselves. So I'm not exactly scared that Russia will try and therefore am not thinking about where to go should Putin try.

Thailand has its own rich culture of conspiracy theories and superstitious believes.

Animals at least don't terrorize other groups or kill without need. They are not evil. Terrorists are evil.

It's not clear but are you saying CNN is owned by Jews? It's owned by Warner Bros which is a public company and I'm not seeing majority jewish ownership. Anyways I don't consume CNN and wouldn't recommend it for other reasons. If they got a TV station that broadcasts 24/7 with talking heads then it's usually not for me as they are spinning stuff and bringing lots of opinion instead of facts. Reuters is usually pretty decent. Anything that leans left or right is out.

That is not true, they offer retail remittance services from there. For the OPs case they just have to assist in remote attestation for the Thai office. Some international banks offer this. I don't know if Bangkok Bank specifically does it. Worth a call/visit.

Isn't that blatantly obvious? I'm not sure if you are pulling my leg here but giving you the benefit of the doubt: Ukraine has a chance to win and is not putting massive pain on their population in contrast to Hamas. The two situations are nothing alike apart from both being a war.

Do a DNS lookup on the hostname. Then a WHOIS on the IP that you get. I get a network called "Reflected Networks". If you get something strange in Thailand then they might just intercept and spoof the DNS. If the IP is fine and you can't access it then they might be just nullrouting the IPs. You can also switch for example in Firefox all DNS to go over HTTPS via DoH in the settings, then the ISP can't intercept the DNS requests of the browser. See if it becomes available that way. Or use a public website to get the IP of the site and put it in your local devices network config so no DNS request goes out for it.

That could work because the most specific mask wins usually. But the attacker could do that as well. Then it becomes a race condition I guess.

In a properly set up network it's not possible.

Yea it's low effort for a low effort. Garbage. Actually worse than garbage because garbage is immediately visible as such. Here you start reading it and realise they just wasted your time.

The attack voids the security a VPN can provide but you are not less secure than without VPN. Well, I guess at least you don't have a false sense of security that you would have if you had a VPN and someone managed to circumvent it.

That's an attack that is only possible if the network allows any device to send these DHCP packets. A proper network only allows the router or so called secure ports to send them. The feature is usually called DHCP snooping. Even if it's not enabled and any client is allowed to act as a DHCP server then performing this attack is going to be noticed very quickly when all normal IP routing in the local network is messed up and DHCP leases exhausted. Plus the attacker needs to know the timing of the new device connecting, who he is targeting etc. It's not as easy as Heise describes.

Other people on the same Wifi can't just pose as a DHCP to push routes to you, only the router can.

It's not a router issue. It's a VPN client issue. VPN clients are supposed to send all traffic through the VPN but a malicious router can tell the OS to route traffic whereever, that's its job in a way. It's up to the VPN client to make sure the router can't override what the VPN is supposed to do.

He is good at promising and blaming but not so much at delivering. Claims to be a great business man and real estate magnate but couldn't even build a wall. I guess Mexico just didn't pay the invoice.
