Using Nordic Hosting and CDNs to Resist DMCA Takedowns

2:15 p.m.

Hmm

q?/

when a cdn deliver site copies does it use up hosting bandwidth

Looks like, i'm right on this, where our web hosting provider, if in Nordic country, where there is no or low risk of lawsuit over DMCA, then, we will be fine.

When delivering the content, then, a CDN is what we'll need. It will also help us to save on "bandwidth" quite substantially.

And so, this must mean, that the Hostinger company isn't a good fit, as they don't agree with fair use, and so, they would have caused problems, even if it was on their server and we worked with them for hosting.

Switching to another web host, in Sweden or Norway or even Netherlands, will mean we won't face any such issues.

Legality or jurisdictionally, what matters, is the same as the "new standard business model" of a Delaware US company front, with a payment gateway in Ireland, owned by a Holding company in Singapore, which is owned by another company in any off-shore nation such as Panama, British Virgin Isles, whatever, owned by a trust fund, controlled by a trust fund beneficiary, with you as a beneficiary.

For any firm, you want to gain the maximum leverage or the high ground advantage, and so, if you ar into news, then, this is a good way to go. As what happens is you are hosting in Sweden, they'll throw any DMCA takedown request out or ignore it, and then the CDN will be delivering the goods.

As the CDN, in this network topology, such as Cloudflare who deliver most of the available, often 80% pirated, or copyright infringing, as the CDN in the hierarchy chart, they are only "the messenger", the courts can't shoot them, they can't say, ''this is Sparta'' and kick CDNs in the hole.

This image is a video frame from a YouTube video titled "Parisian Potatoes – Crispy Buttery Round French Fries" by the channel "Food Wishes." The frame shows a close-up of a white dish filled with perfectly round, golden-brown potatoes, likely prepared in a buttery and crispy style. The potatoes are neatly arranged in an elegant white serving dish, emphasizing a gourmet presentation. The background features a muted gray surface, which contrasts with the golden hue of the potatoes, making them pop visually. The lighting is soft and highlights the glossy texture of the potatoes, indicating they are freshly prepared and appetizing. There are green garnishes visible, adding a touch of color and suggesting freshness. The video appears to be part of a cooking tutorial or recipe presentation.

Bob Bigman’s Advice on DNS, Segmentation and Data Classification

4:45 p.m.

Robert 'Bob' Bigman: Central Intelligence Agency, USA, Chief Information Security Officer, responsible for their IT security strategy, for over 15 years (out of 25-30 years) as CISO, protecting their most classified secrets.

He advises that Domain Name Server or DNS monitoring, network segmentation and also information / data classification is the key.

Over here, what matters is our host origin server, has a secure link up to the CDN, and then, we route most traffic to the paying customer first.

The image is a technical illustration titled "Proactive CDN." It visually represents the workflow of content delivery in a network using a proactive Content Delivery Network (CDN) system. The illustration is divided into vertical sections labeled as "Application," "Edge," "Origin," "Webi," "Content priming," and "Store." These sections indicate different stages and components involved in the content delivery process.
Arrows are used to denote the flow of data and requests between these components. For example, a "Manifest request" is sent from the "Application" to the "Edge," which then requests a "Manifest file" from "Origin." The "Edge" retrieves a "Video segment" from "Origin" and sends it back to the "Application." Additionally, "Content priming" receives a "Priming hint" from "Webi" and sends a "GET (URL1)" request to "Store," which then returns a "Video segment."
The chart also includes a "Total time" indicator on the left, showing the overall duration of the process. The colors used are primarily blue and orange, which distinguish different stages and actions. The illustration serves as an informative guide on how a proactive CDN system operates, emphasizing efficiency in data retrieval and delivery.

The image is a screenshot from a YouTube video titled "Facebook execs Sheryl Sandberg and Mike Schroepfer | Full interview | Code 2018," hosted on the Recode channel. It features two individuals, identified in the hint as Sheryl Sandberg and Mike Schroepfer, engaged in a conversation on stage. They are seated on red chairs against a backdrop with a mix of purple and blue lighting, suggesting a formal interview setting.
Sheryl Sandberg is dressed in a black top and is turned slightly towards Mike Schroepfer, showing an attentive posture. Mike Schroepfer is wearing a checkered shirt and glasses, facing Sheryl as they discuss a topic. The lighting highlights their profiles, creating a professional atmosphere. On the top right corner, there's a logo indicating the event is presented by the Alibaba Group.
Captions in the screenshot provide part of their conversation: "violence the numbers 86 what hate speech," and "it's 38 percent because it's harder." These subtitles suggest that they are discussing issues related to violence and hate speech, possibly in the context of social media moderation or policy.

Facebook executives Sheryl Sandberg and Mike Schroepfer took the Code Conference stage with Recode's Kara Swisher and Peter Kafka.

The CTO and COO of Facebook talked about how Facebook is continuing to deal with the fallout of Cambridge Analytica, how the company working on stopping fake news, and more.

The image is a screenshot of an informational webpage from phoenixnap.com discussing data center tiers. The page title, "What Are Data Center Tiers?", is prominently displayed at the top, followed by text explaining the standardized ranking system for data centers. This system ranks facilities from 1 to 4 based on their reliability, with higher numbers indicating better performance. The ranking is primarily determined by the Uptime Institute and considers factors such as uptime guarantees, fault tolerance, and service cost. The text notes that while these ratings are optional, many major facilities pursue them to build credibility and plan for future expansions. The screenshot features a clean and straightforward layout with a white background, black text, and a blue header that includes a promotional banner for cloud services at the top.

Learning That Tier 4 Data Centers Outrank Tier 1

6:15 p.m.

I didn't know, that a tier 1 data centre, is worse, than a Tier 4 data centre!

The screenshot displays a comparison table of data center tiers from phoenixnap.com. The table outlines four tiers (1 to 4), summarizing their features and benefits. Key parameters compared include uptime guarantee, downtime per year, component redundancy, and pricing. Tier 1 offers the least uptime guarantee of 99.671% with no redundancy and is targeted at small companies with simple requirements. It is the most affordable. Tier 2 provides partial redundancy and a slight increase in uptime and is suitable for SMBs. Tier 3 further improves uptime to 99.982% and includes full N+1 redundancy, appealing to growing businesses. Tier 4, with the highest uptime of 99.995% and fault tolerance, caters to large enterprises and government entities, offering 24/7/365 staffing.
The page advertises with a banner at the top for free bandwidth in Singapore using Bare Metal Cloud. The table is simple and clean, with a white background and contrasting dark text. The tiers are differentiated by increasing price symbols from one dollar sign ($) to four ($$$$), indicating the cost-effectiveness of each tier relative to its offerings.

Comparing Data-Center Tiers With Tier 1 Bank Capital

6:15 p.m.

(b)

Very interesting.

I think confusion arose, as in banking, tier 1 is the best, but again, I am wrong on this too. Gartner, says that there are 4 mature markets, plus 7 emerging markets, where the banks are graded in comparison to banking market size. So, you'd think a number 1, is higher. But it's actually, to do with the bank balance sheet. How many assets to balance their debts. Basel Accords.

What are Redeemable Preference Shares? When preferred shares of stocks are issued to shareholders, a call option may be embedded in them. These types of preferred stocks are called Redeemable Preference Shares because the company has the option to redeem them later. Feb 15, 2022

Yes, they are also considered or can be considered preferred stock

Analyzing BlackRock’s Shareholders and Larry’s Control

8:30 p.m.

And also, Larry just owns 563,771 out of 152m or 149m. Most likely, he's played games internally with the equity structure. This is because most likely, he's got some real support, of other investors, or Vanguard 8% / 12.4m or the BlackRock Fund Advisors 4.2% / 6.3m (most likely) where they most likely, are voting in Larry, where he must have friends here, and State Street own 4.00% / 6m and Temasek own 3.36% / 5m, so over here, I know Larry is friendly with Temasek in Singapore, so must be getting the controlling share votes, Capital Research 2% / 3m, Wellington 2% / 3m, and a few more. You add all of them up, they are 45.9%. So, over here, all of them, own each other, so it's like a gang. And they just vote in each other, using their shares in each other's firms, to stay in control. Altogether, it's around 46m shares out of 152m. Likely, many of them, own shares in the firm, like Larry owns 563k, which used to be 700k+ a few years ago, and then, again, they just vote themselves in during the annual general meeting.

Correction: So, there is a separate mutual fund list. They also own shares here. So, what happens, will be that they own some more of each other. Now, the strange news is that if Vanguard claim 8%, and I calculate 12%, it should be that they own MORE than 12%. But I mean, that's my calculation. I did watch The Big Short recently, and you know, I think Christian Bale is a good actor in American Psycho or The Machinist, so he can play Lehan. But whatever, I don't know anything about this stuff. If you calculate by dividing the number of shares Vanguard own in BlackRock, it should be 12,441,926 shares (group) + 4,261,202 (mutual fund), and that's divided by total shares issued which is

Comparing Cloudways Hosts While Denying Being a Vulture or Psycho

I'm doing some cool stuff, I remembered Hirshon is happy with Cloudways, who I believe offer 5 x options for hosting, which they manage. For The Food Dictator. I think Digital Ocean's their best selling option. They've got AWS and Google Cloud which are expensive. Akamai's Linode is available and also. I don't know. Let me check this. Vultr.

Sharing Angry Pages Earnings While Protecting Jonathan Hirshon From Liability

Speculating That Skull and Bones Evolved From Freemasonry

4:00 a.m.

Hehe

I think it's possible, that many US presidents, they may well be masons, but secretly. As they wouldn't want people knowing. Many senior up officials are masons, but they also hide it.

So Skull and Bones, it might be a masonic related secret society or cult. Which is where HW and Kerry and GW may have been. As the thing is this. The whole freemasonry thing. It's easy to do it anywhere. You don't need much.

There is "the ██████" set of ███████ stories. But really, it's ███████████, it's the whole ████ atmosphere (sorry to say) that's cool. Yale, Skull n Bones, Crypt, technically, it's very likely, it could be a masonic lodge.

You don't need anything to make it a "masonic lodge". Just a few chairs. The table, the ███████ █████, the whatever the f*** else, those are additional. Originally, they had nothing. And they were doing it in secret, so i wouldn't be surprised.

Typically, 2-3 generations ago, and 4-5 gens ago, far more American families, they were part of the freemasons, they had masonic constitutional conflict against each states (hence, GL of US State: CA who accept ███ masons as members or Texas who might not like █████ members or WA or NY or foreign constitutions as there is no "██████ authority" over freemasonry worldwide), and they resented allowing████████████████████████████████████ who were able to join with enough resistance (with splinter ███████████████████ being prime examples of divergence).

In my opinion, typically, the freemasonry organization, is built up of many lodges, who form clubs or chapters, and those lodges, are satellites, in orbit over the freemasonry constitution, which is generously wide for free interpretation and adaptive re-interpretation.

This just means at some point, being ███████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████", who were annoying to them, then they set up those lodges, which manifest, the same, if not heightened hallmarks, characteristics and matured advancement over the original freemasonry Washington, Franklin or various figures like Henry Ford enjoyed.

Maybe perhaps to protect the sense of elitist exclusivity they switched over to "the whole Yale thing".

As then, the interest, and the number of people who will be asking to join, or listening in and trying to spy on you falls by 90%.

When you're number one, everyone wants a piece of you, everyone wants to take you down, or whatever, so they can't hit what they can't see.
