We have had a name for it for awhile, my fellow Washingtonians call the Washington/Oregon/California union ‘Cascadia’. Wouldn’t be such a bad idea.

Some are talking about power consumption in this thread and I’ve had similar ideas. Gone are the days where I can run a beefy spec’d desktop in good conscience, it’s just such a resource hog. I have a laptop that stays in hibernate mostly. My other idea for a low power consumption home computer was to get a Le Potato single board and pair that with an e-ink monitor (there’s some really nice ones out there) which I think was sitting at maaaaybe ~5kwh. I think the more we can limit our power consumption, the better, all that electricty directy translates into coal being burned and additional CO2 being created. I’m no luddite, but it has impacted how I consume media which is now very mindful of the impact watching a few episodes/playing a couple hours of games versus just one or two hours of content on any given day.

Yeeeeaaah, go thirteenth amendment!!!

It’s like banging your head against a brick wall inevitably causes you to see the truth, but at that point your brain is so addled that you are hallucinating the truth, despite your best tries at avoidance.

Buuut it’s your guy’s fault, if only you’d have voted for the less evil of the two evil guys we’d have a waaaay less evil guy doing less evil guy shit and being waaaay less evil-y obvious about their evil shit. Don’t you see? You made it obvious that the evil guy is an evil guy, instead of the less evil of the evil guys, damnit!!!

In this post: making a case against electoralism without realizing they’re making a case against electoralism…

Ah, nice. Yeah, I just looked on Synaptic and there’s no package for i2p.

It truly is fantastic. I put it on everything, pizza, breakfast burritos, tacos…whatever. I snag packets of it for free at the local store because I’m a broke ass lol.

Oh man, how has nobody mentioned cholula? I can’t even use other sauces except for siracha.

Ah, so for in-house networks to remain secure from others on their network?

Hey, it’s my house! How’d you get a picture of it?!

So, it sounds like you’d be better off just running Tor or a vpn unless you have a specific use-case for i2p. I looked briefly at the install instructions, but it seemed to be like it would be a hassle to initially setup on my linux build.

And Batman doesn’t exist, so the quote still checks out. But, if he did, he shouldn’t either. Absolute Batman has a great take on Batman as a poor, working-class person. I think Batman works better as that. Batman inherently is problematic, as a billionaire playboy beating up mentally-ill people. (This coming from a Batman fan myself).

What about NixOS? It seems to be doing something very different from most distros. I used it briefly and it was a refreshing experience to just update the config file to add and remove programs, I know that a lot of people share their configs and it makes it easy to keep programs consistent from different installs. I would have installed it on this laptop if the installer wasn’t giving me so many issues, so I ended up with MXLinux instead, but I still look on my NixOS days fondly.

That’s what I came here to say. What’s the point in making an unnecessarily complex “hack” to circumvent what shift-control-c and v does? I’ve never had a problem with it. And there’s something to be said for not making it super easy to paste text to a terminal, especially from places online…

Ah, is it considered more secure, or is it just different?

I can see that. I think there was one progressive blip in US politics, and funnily enough Roosevelt was pushed left-ward by the communist and socialists of the era to get the New Deal passed. And we’ve not seen such a progressive slant in US politics since. That’s what happens when you get a major purge of progressive parties from the McCarthy era forward. Communist and Socialist parties used to be much more prominent in the early 20th century until they we’re practically eliminated, now they’re a shadow of what they once were.

It’s easy, just don’t have any friends or family! /sad panda

I myself use a password manager protected by a pin, and the password itself is ridiculously complex. Not everyone will do that, but that seems to be the best solution for using a password manager. Hell, even though it’s a complicated password I’ve ended up memorizing it (I don’t know if that’s a good thing or not lol).

The last level is living in a cabin in the woods and writing manifestos about industrial society and the ills of technology O_o
