Sure, I will admit very readily that people abuse it...
But when you punish the idealized case... don't be mad when only the abusive people are left. Rent control doesn't fix the abusers and punishes the non-abusive owners as well.
I need you to explain why you think it’s bad. What is the harm you’re perceiving.
Building takes $xxxx dollars to maintain. The profits from that building need to exceed that in order for you as an owner to even want to do anything with the building like repair it...
Let's take an obviously fictitious example of a 2 apartment building that needs $1000 to break even for taxes, mortgage/loan, common utilities, etc.
If one apartment is rent controlled and you're only allowed to rent it at $250, then the other must get rented at $750 in order for you to just break even on the property.
This would be their logic. And it's not "bad" logic.
When without rent control you'd see closer to $500 split evenly between both units.
Now obviously you'd see overhead for things like repair and maintenance, but that once again disadvantages the "new" people even more. $1000 might break even, but you need to charge extra for renovations and such. Since $250 unit is capped, that falls all on the "new" owners which may see $950 or even more in rent costs.
Where in an "even" world... maybe $600 each unit.
clearly i either don’t agree with whatever morality you’re waving at or i dont see its application to the situation. dont be lazy, defend yourself. what if you’re right and all i see is that guy attempting a point and you being like, ‘nuh-uh.’ what am i supposed to think.
This is why they ignored you. This is bad faith and disingenuous as fuck it doesn't take all that much to come to the conclusion of how "new" rented would be subsiding the old ones. You didn't have to act like an ass. You are allowed to use your brain.
But once in, the new people become the old people and benefit as well.
This simply kicks the can down the road and makes it impossible for the "new" generation to actually get in to begin with which stagnates the whole neighborhood (less new people to come start business, or work jobs that the "older" folks aged out of). In the meantime, units stay vacant, building gets less income overall making it infeasible for the landlord/building owner to actually renovate and fix shit.
Edit:
Without rent control, old people would be forced to move out of the city, taking thier income (social security, pension and what not) with them.
Which is not competitive to actual paying jobs at current market rates typically. The old person moving out to the suburbs where things are more affordable typically means the space becomes available and can be filled with new blood that can go and work which is a much bigger boon for the economy than someone strictly drawing retirement.
Archiving flash games is not a new thing... Nor is Internet Archives pioneering anything here. Flashpoint is massive... And you can download all of them and play them at will.
The fact that I addressed some of these items literally line by line and you bring it up again as if I didn't address it tells me that you're arguing in bad faith. Have a good day. Find someone else to complain to.
Forgive me for not covering 100% of this advanced topic in my 3 paragraphs on Lemmy... Nuance gets long, and most people have attention spans of a squirrel.
maybe it’s hard to distinguish between google services, but if you play some online game, chat over whatsapp or signal, or have a voip call, that’s an entirely different story.
Already covered as
That leaves just the raw connection analysis…
Where specifics can't be divined... but other details might.
these can probably be told apart by DNS requests
Addressed already with
DNS by default is often plaintext. You can setup your device to use DoH or other encrypted versions of DNS.
when having a voip call, through a service that supports peer to peer calls (most do, and it’s default on), an observer may even be able to deduct something about who you are speaking with, like what general area they live at.
Actually this is quite unlikely. ASNs are not as structured as you think. It takes an external database that specifically tracks DHCP'd ISP addresses. Case in point, when I moved to my new house... Google maps though I was a good 60 miles away from where I was... it was after repeated access to google maps and other service for about a month before maps started getting accurate with where I'm accessing their service from.
And that point is covered with
It would take a bunch of external additional data to actually tie you to anything directly, eg server logs or other sources… which usually means more than one party is already working together against you. At that point you’ve got bigger issues usually.
then what if you have apps that try to establish connections to services at home.
If you purposefully steer your car off the road... of course you're going to crash. If you're going to expose non-encrypted things onto the internet...
At that point you’ve got bigger issues usually.
I would suspect the untrusted wifi to NOT be the leading thing you'd want to care about in this situation. But even then... I would start making reasonable assumptions such as you're likely on a DHCP connection without static addressing... your site and resources will rotate IPs every once in a while. Makes tracking you even harder.
with HTTPS you leak your internal domain names because of TLS SNI.
Encrypted SNI (ESNI) / Encrypted Client Hello (ECH) exists... Cloudflare for example supports ECH, and they transit a LOT of data.
But once again... would be outside of the scope of discussion here. Yes... an ISP can make an educated guess of where you're likely to be going... and maybe even make a reasonable guess of what you could doing... But certainly not the details of it.
And this all ignores the fact that a random coffee shop isn't going to do full packet inspection to get this data to begin with. It's not worth it for them. They gain very little from collecting meta data without some bigger company backing them to do so... Which falls under
It would take a bunch of external additional data to actually tie you to anything directly, eg server logs or other sources… which usually means more than one party is already working together against you. At that point you’ve got bigger issues usually.
HTTPS is used on virtually every site out there these days. That is used to encrypt your traffic from the get go. So specifics of the traffic/request won't be obvious/known. The EU could be big enough to force manufacturers to inject their certificates into devices... could be a man in the middle attack. But you can always just remove certs you don't trust from your devices.
DNS by default is often plaintext. You can setup your device to use DoH or other encrypted versions of DNS.
That leaves just the raw connection analysis... eg, that your device is sending traffic to some known IP... many site share hosts so that can be hard to determine though often not really... Proxy or VPN services can make it impossible to do this type of analysis... but then those services will be able to tell.
Ultimately being able to say that "Shalafi sent some packets to an IP that google owns and received a bunch back" could be email... could be youtube... could be any number of things... at some point it become educated guess at best. And what specifically happened (ex: Watched a video about tying shoes) is simply unknown. It would take a bunch of external additional data to actually tie you to anything directly, eg server logs or other sources... which usually means more than one party is already working together against you. At that point you've got bigger issues usually.
I somehow don't doubt the story. I've caught an Amazon driver pissing in a bush less than 100ft from a playground. Couldn't have driven around the corner and down the road a bit? Gotta be at the playground where little kids aggregate and play?
Adding a member to a vdev does not automatically move any of the parity or data distribution off the old vdev.
Yes it does. ZFS does a full resilver after the addition. Jim Salter's write ups are from 4 years ago. Shit changes.
Edit: and even if it didn't... It's trivial to write a script that rewrites all the data to move it into the new structure. To say there's no valid cases when even in 2021 there was an answer to the problem is a bit crazy.
An example record lookup would be 8.8.8.8.in-addr.arpa. Like I've said twice now. YOU don't control google's PTRs (since you linked to google workspaces). They DO have PTRs setups.
Edit: Another name for a PTR record is rDNS. Or Reverse DNS. and that name is a bit more descriptive in that it's IP -> Name rather than DNSes normal job of Name -> IP address
Your page is explicitly a support page for dkim config. It is not a list of email requirements. YOU don't control their ptr records. Ptr records are placed on the IP space side. Google controls theirs for workspaces. So that page won't have help on the matter. Requirements haven't changed. I control systems that send millions of messages a month...
Ptr, SPF and dkim are now mandated. Dmarc is highly recommended for gmail...
