I woke up (from a blackout) on the hood of a car. A car that was stopped at a red light and wasn’t the car my friends were driving. I guess I leapt out of the backseat and rolled around on their hood? Idk, I blacked out again then came-to again rolling through some wet grass. Blacked out again and woke up on a couch.
Turns out that humans can teleport.
Want more details? Me too. But I have no idea. It was more than two decades ago and I no longer drink.
A few ways I’ve used it.
Odd, a site seems to be non-functional. (Enable VPN). Site begins to work. Oh, my ISP was fucking with me.
A site is stuttering. (Enable VPN). Magically works. Oh, my ISP was fucking with me.
The most annoying, my family’s Internet over the holidays was blocking my laptop from updating Ubuntu, enabled VPN, udpate went just fine.
In general, it stops ISPs from dictating if they approve or disapprove of your behavior. Hide what you’re doing and all traffic is just anonymous bits and bobs.
As it fucking should be by law… but in the US the conservative party continually repeals the law that enforces non-interference. So for now, we need VPNs.
Left vs Right is a distraction.
The fight for a better life is Top vs Bottom.
Next time you take a break from licking the boot, read a history book. Do you know how many corpses are in the ground today because a few folks said, “We shouldn’t have to work seven days a week.” A fucking lot.
Thanks to them, we have the concept of “weekends”.
Change is written in blood.
This is not a one-off example, there are thousands.
That is reality. Welcome to it.
They’re being intentionally dense. But we understand your point. Some people were born to lick the boot. Let them stay dumb.
What? May the universe take care of you my friend.
All of these topics are : How the Universe Works 101
…and they apply to literally any and every field of study…
General knowledge like this is ducking priceless when it comes to understanding… so. ducking. much.
That aside, I also think your specialization comment is stupid. Did you happen to graduate from a school in India in the past 16 months?
You’re right, ha, I’m totally not… they, I mean they are totally not! You got it guy! Everyone listen to this guy! I’d go as far as to say anyone reading this article is innocent of ALL crimes!
Not really. It’s pretty good. Growth will just bring more bot wars. But I guess bot-immigration is just a permanent trait of the internet now.
Adding to their perspective, as another kid who grew up in a poor family… why not? Rich families were always spending “insane” amounts (aka literally any amount) on food, vacations, extra cars…
$2,500 for a day trip? …sounds insane and unachievable, just like everything else in life. So, yeah, why wouldn’t it cost that much?
When you are poor, the cost of everything sounds insane.
Someone wasn’t prepared.
Anyone wanna play Tanaris at The Station?
Yes, similar to the web of trust, there exists a web of trust for people based on reputation. Journalistic integrity, openness, scrutiny; these are just a few of the things that go away when experts go away.
People who dedicate their lives to truth should be recognized as such, and those who lie should be recognized as well. Outsourcing your information gathering to “randoms” just means that you will be swayed by whoever can afford the best bot farm.
And if you think you are unswayable, you are the perfect target.
Follow those who express curiosity, welcome questioning, and conduct themselves in good faith. It’s an iterative process, you don’t have to resolve it in a day.
Good idea, thank you for the tips on how to disable it. Nothing more annoying than someone offhandedly mentioning something I should do and providing no details or elaboration.
Okay, maybe that was harsh, but really, not even an app name or… literally anything?
As long as the jackass doesn’t sell, they’re solid.
I had a roommate who invested, when his stuff went down more than 5% he’d sell it, “Don’t wanna be too risky,” he’d say, unaware that he was breaking the cardinal rule of investing…
Then, “Omg it’s up again, I better buy high before it goes higher!” then repeat pattern A again.
Moral of the story, if you actually believe in a stock, unrealized losses are not something to react to. Or do, and become a warning tale told to others, ha. Them -5% hits add up QUICK.
Break your system down with a block diagram. Define the minimum functions and properties for each block. Then create an inventory from that.
In short, break down your problem into smaller bits. No one knows your requirements and vision better than you. You can do it.
I use a laptop connected to some external drives managed by a Sabrent 5-Bay Hard Drive Docking Station. The laptop runs Ubuntu Server and hosts media via Jellyfin on raid5 logical volumes shared between disks (to increase read speed).
I learn by writing documentation. Learn how you learn, that information will be priceless in value to you.
