I'm a fan of BSD, but your review makes me not want to even try that version.

I'll stick with NetBSD. It's easy.

Good to have everything back up! Thank you for your hard work.

What, your parents didn't give you birthday money as a kid by having you pull it out of some dude chick's thong? /s

Will resist as long as I can, I ain't gonna volunteer to be a guinea pig for it!

From what I hear there's actually a death rate associated with the vaccine, so I think I rather take my chances with the holocough itself, which I might not even get.

I've been offered it twice already and I'm not getting it. Reason is very simple - they're selling it too hard, so something must be wrong.

If I were a religious nutcase I would compare the vaccine to the mark of the beast. I've made a bet with friends that in five years one won't be able to make any financial transactions AND will have their property seized by the government unless they're vaccinated.

Which succeeded, if they wanted to acknowledge it, in weeks or months. Then they changed the criteria. Now every article treats "case" and "infection" and "positive test" (regardless of number of PCR cycles) as the exact same thing: a toxic danger to your fellow man which you should feel ashamed for allowing to exist.

It would be clever if it weren't so ham-fisted.

No, no, and because I can.

I haven't got my COVID vaccination, and I'm not planning to (provided the ruling vermin won't force me...). The side effects are just too serious (tilde.club clear net mirror, Tor v3 mirror, Tor v2 mirror, Freenet mirror, I2P mirror):

BNT162b1— another mRNA-based vaccine candidate — resulted in considerable adverse events,4 including fever, which occurred in 50% of individuals who received the highest dose (100 micrograms), fatigue, headache and chills.

Especially after additional injections:

Side effects were even more common following the booster dose, after which more than 70% of participants experienced a fever at the mid-range (30 microgram) dose.

Maybe I should write a script that can automatically fill in those mirrors... Anyway, since COVID is harmless to children (clear net only), and, by the way, I'll be 15 in six days, I probably shouldn't take the vaccine anyway, since it's pointless.

And I'm not really an anti-vaxxer, it's just that this vaccine might be harmful. I mean, looking at the actual reasons, it looks like the vaccine will modify your programming:

Here’s how an RNA vaccine works: rather than injecting a pathogen’s antigen into your body, you instead give the body the genetic code needed to produce that antigen itself

So that's not really a good thing.

I'll get it if i can, ive read the white papers and looked at how these were made, i trust the science. im young and healthy and it helps contribute to herd immunity. if your not gonna take it thats your choice but i think theres not actual bad risk unless your getting some foreign chinese bullshit.

This news site uses Clownflare (clear net only), view it with archive.org (clear net only) or archive.is (.fo clear net mirror, .li clear net mirror, .md clear net mirror, .ph clear net mirror, Tor v2 mirror, Tor v3 mirror) instead.

Also, I have a feeling that even if Goolag phases out third-party cookies (which are mentioned in this article), they're still going to track their users, even across sites. I mean, do you really think third-party cookies is the only thing tracking you? Yes, they are responsible for most tracking, along with third-party scripts (that's why I should learn uMatrix...), but first-party scripts and cookies can also collect your data. Do I really need to also mention the fact Goolag Hrom is the most used browser in the world, and it's also filled with spyware?

Same here. It's not that I'm anti-vax, it's just that I have no reason to get the vaccine since it:

• Is not required
• Does not make me immune from getting COVID or passing COVID to others.
• Still too new.

I may get it in a few years if it's still a thing and people aren't giving birth to three arm babies and stuff. If my life becomes inconvenienced by not having it, I'll work around it as best I can.

Nope, too many side effects.

Installing Synapse with docker and a TLS reverse proxy is a relative breeze. Like almost all server software, it requires some setup and general LInux knowledge. I haven't personally noted a lot of performance issues, but I concur that choosing Python (they even started with version 2) was a bad design choice. Good for prototyping but definitely not suitable for large-scale production usage. Hopefully Dendrite will reach feature parity soon. Moreover, they're doing some serious work on the p2p end and a working client exists already (https://p2p.riot.im).

I don't think Element has a bad UI, but there's definitely some room for improvement. Am not a fan of their use of HTML/CSS/JavaScript, I would have preferred a Rust GTK/Qt client but I understand that at this point in the project stage it's important to support the widest variety of platforms to serve the largest possible userbase. Performance and optimisation can always come later.

Salve, serve, moriturus es.

I have a friend who works for the oil industry in Mexico. He's been telling me some pretty shocking things lately. The company he works for pays way above average wages for the area and no ones applying for jobs anymore. In the closest major city, people with good stable jobs (by Mexican standards) are walking off or taking vacation to attempt to cross the border.

Apparently it was slowed down by that wave of cold weather earlier in the month. It now accelerated to unseen levels. The locals all believe if they cross illegally soon they can get amnesty. There is no way to prove when someone crossed if they did it illegally. Also, the cartels are making huge profits off the situation.

In so many ways btrfs isn't ready for prime time. If was stable, its benefits would be pretty strong. However, its code base is changing too rapidly and its ability to recover from problems is pretty poor. It tragic that several distributions changed to using btrfs by default.

Mexican and Colombian was always the best pot back in the day, before the homegrown speedy skunkweed crap took over. Maybe some decent pot will become available.

Was kind of hoping you used it longer to try to get the feel for it, but I get it. I'm running a new OS and environment for me, that I'm unfamiliar with as well in a VM right now. Artix, and I kind of feel the same way.

For the last 10+ years I've been using Debian or RHEL/CentOs based OSes so throwing something unfamiliar in the mix has me scratching my head and wondering how much is user error, the OS, etc.

All the people I knew who took the thing ended up with regular covid symptoms for at least a week if not more. I think I'll pass for now.

I want to live in a world where a web browser has a permanently fixed timer in the corner of the screen. After that timer reaches zero, you need to either buy some vbucks to keep using the site or move on.

Matrix itself is decent, but the official software is utter shit.

Element is a bloated electron mess that's somehow bigger than pisscord and it's buggy as all hell (from small UI bugs to losing connection/not receving messages). Don't get me started on the mobile version. Oh and fun fact, even though olm is implemented in C so it can run natively on pretty much anything, desktop Element still goes through wasm for EVERY MESSAGE, because the devs are retarded enough to not be able to link a binary to a release exec.

The server is even worse, even installing this piece of shit can be a challenge (especially out of the Linux comfort zone) and it hogs EVERYTHING. Say goodbye to like 3 GBs of RAM for a few rooms and users. Say goodbye to your disk space & cpu because python.

The only thing they haven't fucked up yet is Dendrite, the second-gen server which actually looks promising, but it's still in beta it's probably too early to call.

That's true, it's hard to get motivated to keep learning/practicing a language.

Ave, Imperator.
