Fill up your pantry. Focus on grains which are labor intensive.

Once the deportations camps get rolling expect all the grocery prices to rise again. Having a full pantry will let you float for a while so you can adapt to newer recipes in your price range.

It’s feels to me like how the ancient redditors said reddit worked.

Some servers come closer to reddit like world which copied all the popular subs.

Others are definitely smaller communities, maybe a post or two a day and plenty of discussion.

I feel great about it all so far.

Have you seen IT budgets? Some vice-president of technology is going to be pissed his numbers look bad compared to his peers during their weekly numbers measuring contest.

The whole point is that everything is in an official ledger, that can be argued over in front of a judge.

Best you can do is say you don’t consent for your data to be sold. Find a smaller bank or a credit union where they have to give a shit about their customers.

Yes

A few years ago a tech friend literally couldn’t comprehend why he would want to be in a union.

Give up your universal account that accesses everywhere. Multiple accounts is the way.

Others have already laughed at this idea, but on a similar topic:

I know we’ve basically disabled a lot of features that sped up the CPU but introduced security flaws. Is there a way to turn those features back on for an airgapped computer intentionally?

It’s a real tell that they had no black person high enough in management to raise this concern.

In this day and age, either diversify or sign a contract with a “cultural awareness” agency to run your ideas by first.

Can somebody explain how this helps us purge the galaxy faster?

No where in history was that a legitimate trade. Only her father would take such a dumb deal.

Aristocrats can afford to pay a house at a minimum. Don’t let them devalue your worth.

Economies are lowly tools that are supposed to exist solely to benefit the people of the society they are a lowly tool for.

What complete gutter trash talk. Economies serve the master of mankind.

• they sue you for a portion of your future savings, because you single-handedly responsible for their imaginary loss of profits, judge agrees.
• free tier vpns are good enough. But the competition amongst “no log” vpns is pretty fierce. People say you can only trust 3 specific vpns who would rather shut down than spy for a government, but if you’re just downloading movies then you can expand your choices.
• the point of the vpn is to hide your ip address. Self hosting in your home defeats purpose. The best free option is using I2P for torrenting.
• Wait till December for all the Christmas discounts. An annual bundle works out to $2-4 a month.

When was the last time VLC paid $50K USD for a proper security audit?

It’s possible to get a virus from any data that enters your computer full stop.

Likelyhood wise: that virus on the MKV will have to attack the operating system preview system (which means you fucked all the way up to personal nation state attention), or attack the video player (which is a lot more likelier, they discover theoretical exploits all the time).

You’re talking about streaming with VLC? Was it a trusted source? Cause otherwise the FBI or script kiddie has probably fucked you up.

As a side note, I’ve completed writing this guide and have found that HexChat is no longer supported.

Now that a sign of a true IRC user

Most important part of the blog post:

We are planning a 3rd party security audit for the protocols and cryptography design in July 2024, and also the security audit for an implementation in December 2024/January 2025, and it would hugely help us if some part of this $50,000+ expense is covered with donations.

And theoretical reliability. Stuff breaks down quicker at smaller sizes says my lizard brain
