Just a week or so ago, Samsung chairman Lee Jae-yong told everyone in Samsung that there's only a "do or die" attitude.

What is the default?
This issue has been known since 2018
https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/telegram-leak...
The default is calls are P2P enabled
Telegram actually handles this well (better than some other similar chat apps like LINE, Viber, ...)
It has an option inside Security and Privacy, in the subsection on "Calls", where you can limit who can contact you using P2P calls and who will have the call routed through a central server of Telegram.
So usually you can restrict P2P only to your contacts for example, and everyone else will have calls routed to Telegram central server (or just disable calling altogether for everyone else)

I wrote the article. So you can yell at me here. Thanks again for all the interesting comments. Hacker news is the best. One of the few places I read the comments and learn.
Using google maps to spot out a non-touristy area was ingenious.
I live near the spot you showed in the example that you picked.
I would suggest next time trying out another method, not based on restaurants, but on using Historical Map: look at the city and go back 100 years, then look at the city in the present, and either choose a place that has not changed at all, or a place that was a slum and now is housing.

I remember this being done back when Opera 7 was used. I think it had a feature for mobile OS, where it would route requests to Opera's servers and serve clients a minified, smaller version of the page, so people on 2G at the time could still use the web. I don't remember people being outraged at the time at the prospect of a browser having a baked-in VPN option though.

I am using `kagi` as my search engine. While reading the article I searched `sur:fmc` [0]. The first result was a site that gives information about search urls [1] and gives correct description of what is the function of `sur:fmc`. I couldn't find this page on the first 5 pages on google [2] (and didn't look further). Not to mention google trying to correct me the query text.

Guessing "ur" in sur means Usage Rights, and M means Modification, C means Commercial, F means Free (to reuse)?

same category as this. See if you can spot what's so amazing about it. https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/snes/588741-super-metroid/faqs...
If it took you a lot of time to notice it like I did: <spoiler> it's the paragraph justification
The problem with cases like this one is that they really show the inadequacy of the geographic government model in the age of the internet.
If a Czech citizen, currently living in Slovakia, doxxx a British person resident in Canada on a site hosted in the Maldives and managed by a Japanese citizen, protected by a German server owned by an American security company, which government has the right to order the content to be taken down?
All of the above countries, including countries not mentioned in your example, have the right to order the content to be taken down, following their own country's regulations.
"Taking down content" can range from blocking the site from being accessible from inside the country, to organising measures together with other countries where the site is actually hosted to take down the site at its roots, should the country allow it.
North Korea, China, Russia are prime examples of blocking being heavily used to control the Internet.
A government's model will never be "inadequate" as long as people live there and abide by the country's law because of various incentives (economical, sociological, familial, ...).
Being able to look things up, even in seconds, is not equivalent to knowing them. When someone suggests "let's do X", you cannot reply with "but that would cause Y", if Y is buried in some pdf file on your computer, or one Bing search away - how do you know you should search for Y, when there are infinite other things you could search for.
The way I used to write/set-up tests when I was teaching is that you could use a limited set of online resources to answer, but if you have to search every question you won't have enough time to do it. So it also tested your ability to quickly locate the information you need should you not know it right away.
# Original record scratch contest-style song https://suno.com/s/8MvZmfkDPIPmKLtm
And this is a good example how the "magic" is lost in a cover of that same contest entry with no attempt to curate:
# v4.5 cover https://suno.com/s/KyCZZNn6PpL4JHbO
Here's another one I put a bit of time into, but with a much simpler structure. What I appreciated about the original were the emotions it stirred up when the notes came together just-so:
# Original ambient synth https://suno.com/s/JtmmbdA2VtgO4drK
New cover, pretty decent but it lost what I liked the most (haven't had great luck with v4.5 remasters yet, but I do a lot of weird things):
# v4.5 cover https://suno.com/s/Gi8wy1QjUaHmYNKy
# Original piano piece https://suno.com/s/yj8rHRRgJEWD83GY
# v4.5 remaster https://suno.com/s/Xx5Y5SNl1MdDrLsO
When you ignore the stuff that humans shouldn't get credit for - e.g. I didn't "make" this song, or play any part in its "production", but I did "curate" it - there's still something left to give credit for, right? It's basically like a DJ digging through a mysterious crate of records.
