Whether you’re left, right, or center, focus on becoming ungovernable.
If you build up your local community and supporting institutions, and commit to ignoring unjust laws, you can greatly minimize the degree to which anything at the federal level impacts you.
This involves a lot of self sufficiency and privacy efforts that many are resistent to because of the loss of convenience, but it is well worth it.
This summarizes it pretty well. Two things can be true at once. Reddit sucks ass and I haven’t gone back since the API changes. Simultaneously, the default Lemmy experience is extremely offputting to all but certain subcultures. Not everyone is a antiwork activist, Arch Linux evangelist, open socialist, or actively transitioning. Totally fine that all these groups have their communities, but it gets kinda old seeing 90% of the feed filled with these topics.
This history of Russia shows a willingness to throw bodies into the meatgrinder to achieve military objectives. While there are trained and professional forces fighting on the Russian side of this conflict, the lines have also been populated with conscripts, political dissidents, ethnic minorities, prisoners, and any other “human resources” that Putin doesn’t mind sacrificing. I doubt he is worried about troop strength.

I know Google Fiber generation 1 setups were Fiber to the home (to a “Fiber Jack”) with a provided router that had 1 gigabit Ethernet port and a coax/MoCA output. Then each TV receiver box got its connectivity via MoCA from the router (most of the customer homes were already set up for cable to any area there was a TV) and put out 100mb ethernet from each of those endpoints (these also doubled as Wifi APs).
What I’ve never heard of is an ISP offering a MoCA coax to your house and you having only a MoCA receiver. Supposedly the max distance between MoCA devices is about 300 feet.
Seems more likely the person asking the question actually just has a cable modem and could put their own router downstream of it if they wanted?
SNES 9x ran great on systems of this era. I spent days playing all the Megaman titles and save-scumming or scanning memory to make infinite health cheats.
This and the episode of Hey Arnold! where Arnold falls asleep at the opera and he finds himself in Carmen performing the habanera.
Patronize alternative products and services. The growth of GrapheneOS, Calyx, and other alternative phone operating systems is significant and shows there is a market. Hopefully privacy respecting hardware can follow.
More of Google copying Apples worst features. Apple iPhones that are “off” simply become Airtags. This is functionality that works for big tech and not the end user. We need to push back on this shit.
Wait til he finds out that people still use IRC and Usenet for filesharing too…
Seems OK with BT in the sense they do not throttle traffic etc. Using basic prevention measures like private trackers and port randomization will get you far here. If you are using public torrent sites I would probably use a seedbox or torrent friendly VPS host… Then your ISP will only see SSH traffic from your machine to the box.
“O-counter”? Is that legitimately for tracking how many times you blow your load to a particular scene?
People are really into advanced metrics these days…
Imagine getting prison time for sitting through Boys Over Flowers. That’s like being punished twice.
I didn’t want to bungle or bobble the Fingal dopple.
And there are notorious “blockers” - publishers and bands who copyright strike and remove all third party videos using their music. Reference Rick Beatos various videos and rants on this topic.
Minskeys is overpriced trash. Would rather have Waldo pizza buffet or hell even Pizza Shuttle.
Yay private trackers I guess.
I mean, he has theoretical control (barely) over 1/2 of one branch of a fractious, dysfunctional and arguably corrupt federal government. Let’s not get too far ahead of ourselves, buddy.
You have all that space in the Complex and you put a toilet there?
