One protest outside a synagogue which inspired this latest "ban protests" idea was one organised in response to a Technion University 100 year event[1][2] which was using The Great Synagogue Sydney as the venue:

Highlights:

  • Speakers:
    • Prof. Wayne Kaplan – Technion’s Vice President for External Relations and Resource Development
    • Mr. David Weinberg – The Jerusalem Post- Israel's resilience and determination to win.
    • A special guest – a Technion graduate, sharing experiences from their recent reserve duty
  • In attendance of:
    • Nova Peris OAM.
    • Distinguished Prof. Moti Segev – A world leading physicist and Israel Prize winner from Technion - Israel Institute of Technology
  • Art Show: Featuring works by Avraham Vofsi, an Israeli artist, whose unique pieces reflect post October 7 feelings. Avi was born in Melbourne and was an Archibald Prize finalist in 2022.

The Great Synagogue itself published on their own news page their comments on the protest, mentioning that it was not a Great Synagogue event nor was it religious:

Protest Outside The Great Synagogue
On Wednesday night 4 December we hosted an event on behalf of Technion University in Israel to enable them to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the operation of that University. This was not a religious service nor was it a Great Synagogue event. [...]

(Their weekly news page has since been replaced with new content but search engine result snippets still had traces.)

Migadu is a decent option if you don't want to self-host.

I'd suggest 35,000 low-earth-orbit satellites but Elon is already working on that.

Alternatively, use one of the helpful links when creating a post to send it to an archive service, and provide the resulting archive link in the post body.

It's no use. "VPN" means gateway/MITM service, just like "crypto" means digital tulip mania.

Ah, easy then: lower the drinking age from 18 to 16.

The article does not explain the primary design purpose of a VPN -- providing an encrypted tunnel into or between two private subnets.

For example, your home subnet is typically all 192.168.nnn.nnn addresses -- a class of addresses which the wider internet does not route, and which your router/modem does not allow the wider internet to access unless explicitly permitted.

Say you have a NAS on your home network, and you want to access it from your laptop while at a cafe; you could set up a VPN between your laptop and your home router, and it can make your home network appear as your local network to your laptop, giving you access to your NAS.

Or between two office locations of a business -- their database servers, accounting systems, printers, etc can all be freely accessible between offices without being exposed to the wider internet.

So it sounds like an ID will not be a requirement.

Sure, but gov ID is permitted as an option if another non-ID option is also available.

Simply choose between submitting your government ID or, say, switch on your front facing camera so we can perform some digital phrenology to determine your eligibility.

A possible ban on social media for under-16s in the UK is "on the table", the technology secretary Peter Kyle has told the BBC.
