I really gotta get serious about trying out Reticulium.

The government that allowed/encouraged the injustices hasn’t died yet.

I suspect this is just a means to scam the federal government. People used to make these out of old disposable camera parts combined with a large capacitor. The article says they’re spending tens of millions on this contract, I wonder how much they are per unit.

Debian is for when the other distros have failed you and you’re too old to deal with that shit anymore.

Analog keyboards give you the best of both worlds theoretically.

To be fair, by that time many of the Norse explorers were already Christian.

This is what the country was founded on, all those slaver “founding fathers” were doing the same thing.

Same, I tried to watch it twice but never made it through.

The AI image makes his skin look more normal.

The goal of creating a hyper intelligent machine-slave is an inherently foolish and self-destructive one.

A team of American soldiers were wiped out by a huge red haired sasquash in the mountains of Afghanistan.

If you couldn’t see the light of the entrance its cave diving, otherwise I believe its concidered cavern diving.

These caves are tourists attractions, they’re not gonna leave bodies in there as a punishment. The truth is that the authorities were at fault for sending in someone unqualified. Cave diving is its own thing regular diving skills are not sufficient.

Occasionally I’ll see someone say something along the lines of:

“I just wonder if they’ll feel the same about it in ten years. I think we’ll start seeing a lot of regret from all these young folks rushing into it.”

Yet here I am, ten years plus transition, continuing to exist.

My biggest pointer would be to look at it as a journey rather than a destination. You’ll never be a ghost online or self-host everything. But you can mitigate a lot more than you might imagine. Get an old pc to use as a server and experiment with a few services. Start with Jellyfin in a Podman container and then maybe try Pihole. It can take a lot of time to setup initially when you dont know what you’re doing but it gets easier.

Self hosting, trying to get progressively more serious about privacy and security.

I’ve gotten into Amateur Radio, you need a license to transmit but you gain access to a lot of cool stuff. The Ham bands are a non-commercalized space where experimentation and the sharing of technical knowledge are highly esteemed. There’s no ISP or hidden tech bro to moderate the experience, your limits are your skill, equipment, and the privileges of your license. On High Frequencies there are propagation effects that cause your signal to travel thousands of miles enabling the potential for worldwide communications given proper conditions.

I can’t tell if this is gaslighting, condescension, or both.

Its uncommon to see concrete roads in the US but there are a few of them around. That being said it could be more common in some states than others.

I’d choose a Ship’s Mind from the Culture Series by Ian M. Banks, specifically a GCU class vessel.

I bought a 22tb hdd from serverpartdeals in late December of 2025. Its now $100 more expensive, I’m glad I read the tea leaves in time but this sucks.
