Extra: Dont drink if youre retarded (incredibly stupid) or have previous mental health issues

Its actually not that easy to get addicted too, it has to be a constant from what I've seen. Its pretty awesome sauce basically

Drink with people you trust

If it's legal where you live, you could use kratom instead. It doesn't really cause intoxication, and the only outwardly noticeable side effects are "over-caffeination." It tends to interact with alcohol, so don't take both at once.

At low doses it's like coffee, and at higher doses it causes intense euphoria. Just be careful not to use it all the time, because it's slightly addictive.

I don't consume much alcohol myself, being a saint and all.

As a former heavy drinker I can guarantee you that you're not missing on anything worth experiencing, specially given how you're exposing yourself to open a can of worms that you might regret for the rest of your days.

Over the years I've met many people (hundreds) that live miserable and painful lives because of alcohol, it's a very normalized addiction in most societies and it's extremely hard to stop drinking once you start, it's also extremely likely that you become a recurrent drinker when you start because liquor is cheap and easy dopamine in unnatural doses that your brain is not ready to handle. And you might think that you won't become a heavy drinker but you must acknowledge that everyone that suffers from alcoholism started somewhere, and they likely never had someone warning them about the problems like I'm doing.

The reason I decided to stop it and cut it entirely before it became a worse problem was that I see alcohol, as many other vices that we're exposed throughout our lives, as another means of control; to deprive people of their health and their autonomy is the best way to ensure they remain docile and accept the state of affairs imposed onto them by tyrants while making profits off it. I reached the conclusion that a society that normalizes substance usage or abuse at all and weaponizes hedonism is not a functional society, and must be fought back at any cost.

I can't reproduce, mine is up to date. However I am using glibc rather than musl and that likely has a lot to do with package maintenance and versioning.

Well, you're certainly not missing out on anything by remaining sober. But if you're of the legal drinking age, and have never drank, as long as you're in a safe environment with some friends or something you know and trust, a couple beers won't hurt you.

With that said, I've not drank in probably 3 or more years. Not for any particular reason, even when I did "drink", it was mostly maybe two or three times a year, max. In my earlier years (18-23, namely) I'd drink more often, maybe once or twice a week. Sometimes (often) in excess. I don't miss it, but did have some good times with some friends and managed to escape any real harm. With that said, that time could have been better spent doing, well, anything else. Gym, study, relaxation without intoxicants, hobby, etc.

You won't start a fight a stranger or text your family something regrettable after a beer or two. As long as you're generally a well-hydrated person, a beer or two isn't going to leave you feeling hungover. Worst case, you may wake up feeling a bit "under the weather".

I've never had a real positive outlook on drinking, I don't find it a suitable trait for someone to do it often unless they're young and in those socially acceptable "party days" (See me, 18-23~). Just don't make a habit of it. Nothing sadder, in my opinion, than seeing some old dude pissing away his money and health at a pub or sitting around a TV every night.

There is definitely a concerning trend happening and I don't think all of it is accidental. What made man, man, is gradually disappearing and being replaced by some surface level hedonistic treadmill interpretation of life. All of this change greatly benefits unelected technocrats who are eager to indoctrinate everyone to the point of no longer having any sense of individuality. People become less and less mentally capable, they have no thoughts of their own, they seek to conform regardless of whether it even makes sense or is right. It is like a hypnotized crowd of lemmings being led right to the cliff. The internet is a double edged sword though, and I think people are, albeit a bit slowly, starting to see through the mirage that has been created around us. My 2 cents is worry about your own house so-to-speak, lead by example and raise a family. Try to awaken other people around you, try to live out of the city and do what you can for yourself i.e growing food, hunting, getting to know neighbors very well etc. In my opinion this is the sort of thing that would get us back on track.

I use Tor Browser on android often enough. But, I use GrapheneOS. As stated here before, Android is not private in it's default state. And, even if there is an opt out checkbox somewhere, can you really trust it?

But, it depends on your use case. If you want to hide things from you wife, it doesn't matter. If you want to do something seriously criminal? Bad idea.

If you want to torrent films? Whatever.

I would suggest asking for a glass of water.

More so, I enjoy a little now and then, but very rarely. I don't like the feeling, nor do I like the hangovers that tend to follow. Not worth it.

As for the feeling? It starts out as relaxing and then moves on to even more relaxing. At least for me.

When I do drink it's the hard stuff. A shot now and then, but never enough to do more than enjoy the flavor.

To me it feels like your entire body is submerged in molasses, including your mind, but in a way that generally feels pleasant. Your body and mind will feel sluggish and you will notice that doing things requires more energy than before, very similar to being sleepy.

Remember to eat, drink plenty of water, stay safe and have fun!

Tips for if you're getting drunk: Eat

It'll burn if you don't, you won't have a good time and the drink will hit hard and fast. Will you act dumb?? Probably not if you don't want to, the poor judgement comes from excess.

If you're gonna try something and you don't mind the taste, cheap tequila, one shot for first timers and check your tolerance from there. IF you do mind the taste (won't blame you), just go for something prepared.

For the feeling? You'll feel light, almost floaty, and not only your head will be spinny, your whole body will. You won't get a hangover from being tipsy (unless its genetic, I don't get hangovers at all), hangovers also come from excess.

I would really like someone to kick-start radicle nodes over i2p. ( clearnet link : https://radicle.xyz ) It's like git, but decentralised. Imagine hosting uncensorable git repos that are distributed all over the network. Things like Nintendo shuting down emulators would not be possible. The idea behind it is basically made for I2P.

You would need however a webpage to advertise your node id and it's a little bit tricky to set-up over i2p. IDK, the current maintainer of the java version has proposed a tutorial that still hasn't made it on the official webpage : (another clearnet link : https://app.radicle.xyz/nodes/seed.radicle.xyz/rad:z371PVmDHdjJucejRoRYJcDEvD5pp/patches/18e6ec1dd5e87e39223ceade8e016107937ab1c3 )

Another fun thing to try out would be hosting a reticulum node over I2P ( https://reticulum.network ), which you can bridge with the clearnet. Reticulum is a network stack that allows you to have a network over essentially anything, from the regular internet, ham radios, LoRas, and yes, I2P. You can build networks of networks with it.

Then, tutorials... content in general. Looking for information not available on I2P that /is/ on the clearnet? Have a go and make a webpage about it!

that'd be cool. irc.nerds.i2p has something similar sounding on http://radio.nerds.i2p/, code for that could be available somewhere, not sure, but gives you some controls in the channel

songs can sort of be requested from http://guessthesong.i2p through playing the game in irc2p, they end up in music.simp.i2p. the code for the ircbot is jank but it's up so you could strip out the game parts and turn it into a music request bot

also just came up in #simp, if you have a safe way to bridge to larger clearnet networks, that could be useful. could help with setup if it's something you want to do

I have no experience with mixing Raspberry Pi and OpenBSD, but my default go-to is Void Linux, in my experience the best operating system you can install on a RPI, Void has a really fast package manager, even on slow SD cards. One of my redundant I2P routers is running on an RPI4 like yours, though I got 4GiB of RAM, works like a charm.

you can run some stuff off of that, i'd look for things that are light on memory requirements.

  • IRC servers run light, probably other chat servers minus matrix
  • java/i2p+ can host personal sites and have plugins for blog and zzzot open tracker with no extra overhead. You can reduce the wrapper memory usage. new zzzot uses less memory so i think if you give the router 256mb it should do fine, but can't confirm
  • js-free filehost or pastebin
  • books
  • radio
  • privacy frontends: we have lots of reddit ones now, how about a more rare one like libermbd or soundcloak
