LOL I’m SHOCKED you’d of all people would admit to a prior ban because hoollllllyyyyy shiiitt you point out anyone that might come back.
I think we’d all have a great time at a bar actually.
The interesting thing to me is ‘Opsec’ and how it can be tracked. Ansel proved just a few posts can track you.
Some are easier than others...
I addmit I have a style. I try to obfuscate it but it’s not easy.
I really didn’t think I’d post that much and tried not to use the same patterns, but you guys got me. Again, we’d probably be friend IRL and bash Biden and Hunter at a bar.
Go ahead and ban me I guess, cause I’m a retread and have bashed how the site is run, but you will not call me a leftist :P
You know that if a picture is posted and you click on it, it is possible to track you from that.. right?
(Actually able to track even if the picture is just loaded on your PC, but that is above my head.)
LOL - I did not know that. I was guilty of PWD (Posting While Drinking) a few times in my earlier days on here. Fortunately, I never got zotted, but I was sometimes a tad mortified when I read my posts the next morning. 😂
I haven’t PWD’d in a long time.
I recently heard of ‘sanitizing URLs’ and Brave has that function. This opsec thing is a big pain in the ass honestly.
If you’re talking about GPS embedding yeah I did know that. There’s also, worst of all, possible GPU ID tracking to your very hardware.
Don’t any guys like me hit on you still PWD? :P
Oh yeah.. I joined up during the 2004 elections (was guided here by SwiftVets for Truth).
The last time I remember PWD is when I opened the thread about rebooting the VKs and ZoTs, lol. (I wouldn’t have started that thread otherwise. Had been thinking about it for months though.)
GPU ID has been around for a couple of decades. CIA used it all of the time.
Don’t need GPS; a tracker can be put into a picture, and once it is downloaded, it can be traced back to the true IP.
At this risk of angering you guys, I think FR has been most 55+ drunk people.
And that age base is from 2000 or so.
I was quite young when I first found FR off Drudge.
PWD may be your weakness (to getting caught).
Yeah before the conversation even gets to politics, you’ve made it clear that you are an asshole.
That’s why I laugh at people on TG saying they can’t be tracked cause the have a burner sign-in SIM. Bitch, the SWAT team shows up on every single streaming suicide vid within 5 minutes after the shot’s fired.
I’d expect something like FR not to have that level of operations, but it’s possible lol.
Doesn’t anger me.. It’s actually quite a chore to anger me.
As a matter of fact, you are the first ‘retread’ (or troll) that I have had a conversation with that I can remember. I usually just post my ping and move on (ignore the subject in the spotlight).
I let the other VKs have fun.
I’ll PWD now, and say I’ve never really talked to you before. But now that I have, you’re smarter than I thought in ways.
I forgot to mention that practically every piece of hardware has a recognizable ID. Even the hard drives.
Of course, but being able to remotely request that used to be an issue. The GPU thing is that the browser acceleration that’s in general use can be queried remotely and easily.
I think my last PWD was New Year’s Eve 2010/2011 from Baghdad. I was nowhere near being 55 and I was in my living container enjoying some vodka a friend had slipped to me in a water bottle through the mail. (A very common practice over there…) I didn’t have to work the next day (a rarity!) and was playing around on my laptop. I even put up a thread letting everyone back home know that 2011 arrived intact, undamaged and still had that new year smell. I was 8 hours ahead of the east coast, so I felt I should let everyone know.
I rarely have a conversation, just usually post a smart-ass picture to entertain the few of us who get entertained by it.
Many here may not even know I can actually spell! (It’s quite intentional.)
For better or worse you’re an icon of this site.
Sobriety is something to cherish. I’ve never mastered it, but I’ve tried.
