Be careful. Having ownership of your resources allows you to take your stuff, or sell it, and try something else somwhere else. If all the resources are communal, it is harder to escape if the things go south. One of the reasons why is it difficult to leave certain kind of cults.

Bad bot!

Multiple good hypotheses here. I’d like to add my own. The governments can be viewed as a modern iterations of religious cults, and there is no bigger taboo in a religious organization than questioning the basic dogma.

Try to question democracy in a democratic republic and you immediately get the weird looks, and irrational dismissal. 9 times out of 10 this self preservation instinct is good and beneficial to everyone involved, because giving a benefit of doubt to closeted authoritarians would be a mistake. That one time somebody really wants to have an honest discussion, it simply sucks.

If it does not help, try limiting the maximum number of active connections in qbittorrent.

You won’t believe what happened next!

The opposite. I’m afraid I will waste my life procrastinating, not even being aware of what it has to offer.

Yet somehow the same people can be trusted to select the best among them to make the rules for everyone.

I sense huge r/antiwork vibes. I hope it will be at least as much fun.

Just make sure any power saving features are disabled. That is, if the 3000km journey to wiggle the mouse is not on your bucket list.

Every time I feel like I finally get kubernetes, somebody surprises me by talking about very specific, complex modern technologies being used to do basically the same thing we’ve been doing for decades by simple tools.

And I always experience the same urge to re-grow a tail and climb a tree.

Our backup server has a chatbot now. If that’s not throwing things at the wall, I don’t know what is.

Not destroyed, merely transformed. Human waste can be turned into fertilizer. Still no theft in sight…

We’d be better off going back to barter than trying to peacefully pry the system from their clutches.

Normal people would just start selling the beige shirts…

Well, you should consider guerilla marketing as a career option, because those t-shirts are seriously on the way as a direct consequence of your post :D

Jesus, lemmings are a hard crowd to please. I’ve watched it on the peertube, but bought some overpriced t-shirts from her shop. Would that be an acceptable approach? :)

No need to do even that. If a simple piece of software becomes a company, it’s 99% a scam.

I use miscale 1 with gadgetbridge. Homeassistant has also autodiscivered it, but I’m hessitant to pair it with 2 different devices so no idea if it actually works.

Personally, I’m a big fan of leaving. When shooting, or barbed wires are imminent, just pack your family, some essentials and go have a long boring life somewhere else.

As long as you’re alive, you have options. And the majority of them are usually better than just giving up and dying, either by a civil war or under the occupation forces.

The only thing not clear is the timing. How close is the shit from the fan at any particular moment?
