Apparently my local ISP blocked oppositelock for being pornography. So i switch my internet provider and now i'm back to Oppo!

Have a 4-door R34. Sometimes i kinda regretting for importing the AZ-1 since i heard Nissan make one of this in Japan. It's very odd looking car, and i like that.

What kind of ISP blocks anything? That's not their job! Boo.

In Indonesia pornography is illegal, so the government probably mandates that they (try to) block it.

The ISP was correct. Oppo is indeed hardcore pornography.

What's the logic behind making pornography illegal? I assume there's some major cultural difference?

Also, there's plenty of ways to get around an ISP block if you're creative enough.

I don't know for sure but there might be laws against porn in Indonesia.

Indonesia is the most populous Islamic country in the world. As far as I know, pornography is illegal there due to the religious reasons.

I am not doubting that ISP blocks are sort of ineffective, I am just saying why that would be happening. Tor is a wonderful thing.

Much harder to get around crossing country borders... need something like a VPN service (which there are plenty) but most seem like you have to pay for them (not a bad thing).

well, as bigbossyboss says, Pornography is banned in Indonesia, since the Minister of Information comes from a religious party. So i had to find a new ISP which is not owned by Indonesian government to get access here (and other things)

Well, what's behind the religious reason, I mean? Or is it just something that people accept is 'bad' and don't question?

I've heard some legitimate arguments that porn might cause people to be less romantic or to avoid strict marriage, "diminishing" the experience of "love" (quote unquote "love" for emphasis) but I wouldn't believe that removing it makes a society less promiscuous. Mormons and Catholics have learned that the hard way.

Tor is wonderful.

Yep. Especially the Car Buying Mods.

Damn i still remember the Zonda exhaust on W140. I'm now regretting for selling my W140 S600.

For future reference, you don't even have to switch ISPs. Just pay for a VPN connection that leads to a country that doesn't censor the internet.

Well, there's another reason behind my ISP change: I Got a very good deal on my new ISP.

60GB for roughly 40USD in 4G LTE. It's mental.

Ah, creeping immorality.

Morals are like walking around in a giant suit of armor. You won't get easily shaken or ruined by stuff by sticking to them, but you'll never be able to run, jump, walk, talk, etc. to your fullest extent. I guess we all choose our own chains.

Oh, it's a cellular ISP home connection? That's interesting.

Still, that data cap...eeesh. I go through hundreds of gigs a month on my home wireline connection. I couldn't imagine having such a low data cap. That's about as bad as satellite internet here in the states. Though I do imagine you get much faster speeds than satellite.

08/25/2014 at 12:14

Well, actually it's pretty reliable that W140. It's back to how the previous owner maintains the car.

But be prepared that consumables like brakes, spark plugs, and oil and gas could be expensive compared to say, my current 520i.

08/25/2014 at 12:15

Well, in here the sattelite is expensive (50USD, unlimited, but only had 4mbps speed), so since i don't use the net so much 60GB is fine.

spanfucker retire bitch > Aya, Almost Has A Cosmo With Toyota Engine Owned by a BMW.
08/25/2014 at 12:20

Huh, unlimited but restricted bandwidth? That's interesting. The biggest satellite provider here in the states charges like 90 bucks a month for barely faster than Dial-up speed with 5GB per-day of data cap. Unless you're on the internet between 2am and 9am - then its unlimited data but still incredibly slow speeds.

I feel bad for anyone who has no other choice but satellite internet.

Someone asked about you just the other day. I'm sure they will be happy to see you are back. I always thought Indonesia was more democratic. Government censorship, who knew?

A few friends and I are contemplating a move to Sweden to escape all the ridiculousness (net neutrality, racial issues, frivolous, ridiculous lawsuits, the increasing divide and increasing ridiculousness between the conservative and liberal parties, just everything). You and the Russian should join us.

yamahog > Dusty Ventures
08/25/2014 at 12:49

I'm good even going to Canada at this point, but the Russian would most certainly run away with you to Sweden. I'll send a spatula with him to make it easier to pry him away from Volvos.

treesmakewater > Aya, Almost Has A Cosmo With Toyota Engine Owned by a BMW.
08/25/2014 at 12:54

define "expensive " for the oil. I'm assuming it takes like 10-15 quarts? My a6 takes 8.

That is the problem, a lot of people "maintained the vehicle very well" but "I don't have any of the service or parts receipts"

Dusty Ventures > yamahog
08/25/2014 at 12:59

Better make it an industrial-grade spatula

08/25/2014 at 13:39

Yes, you can't have them all.

In Indonesia Internet goes like that: Unlimited with restricted bandwith or limited but unrestricted bandwidth. My internet used to have the prefect balance: Unlimited, reasonably capped at 10mbps, and pretty cheap at 40 USD. But since it's offered by the goverment, so the access is a bit limited. You got no access to Porn, Reddit, and Hamster.

Aya, Almost Has A Cosmo With Toyota Engine Owned by a BMW. > treesmakewater
08/25/2014 at 13:40

Yep. 10-10.5 if i remember correctly

Then backs away.

I mean, it's used to be a 6-figures car and they don't have the receipt? for shame.

Aya, Almost Has A Cosmo With Toyota Engine Owned by a BMW. > desertdog5051
08/25/2014 at 13:44

Yeah. The censorship is a bit ridiculous.

In Indonesia, Porn, Reddit, and Hamster is banned.

I understand that porn bit, fine. But Reddit and Hamster?

Seriously, you can't google things related to Hamster in here if you used the goverment subsidized ISP.

KnowsAboutCars > Aya, Almost Has A Cosmo With Toyota Engine Owned by a BMW.
08/25/2014 at 14:37

Maybe it's because of the porn site xhamster? Great to see you back btw! I thought you had moved to Russia already since you weren't around.

Aya, Almost Has A Cosmo With Toyota Engine Owned by a BMW. > KnowsAboutCars
08/25/2014 at 16:10

Maybe. Poor Hamster.

I'll move to Russia hopefully at the end of next month, so still lot of time oppo-ing arround.

KnowsAboutCars > Aya, Almost Has A Cosmo With Toyota Engine Owned by a BMW.
08/25/2014 at 16:19

I find it somewhat amusing that they've blocked everything hamster related. How many porn results are you really going to get by simply searching 'hamster'?

I think I might have asked this before but where in Russia are you moving?
