The conspiracy nut in me wonders if this is what they're willing to tell us about, or is corporate grade tech, what does the military have?

Completely different type of music, but since you asked, and in no particular order: (Just looking at some of my recently played from a list of saved music):

It's literally everything from 1960's Kraut-rock to to modern garage lo-fi. I even added a link to a song from each band, just because. I love old psychedelic rock, outlaw country, folk, indie, bluegrass, I love the sound of lo-fi garage rock especially if it has some surfy vibes to it.

Mixed Bag:

• The Brian Jonestown Massacre
• Talking Heads
• Modest Mouse
• Bob Seger
• Josh Ritter
• Townes Van Zandt
• Kurt Vile
• Gram Parsons
• Colter Wall
• Mr. Airplane Man
• Jacuzzi Boys
• Big Thief
• Ariel Pink
• The Babies
• Abner Jay
• CAN
• Blaze Foley
• Hank Williams
• Waylon Jennings

etc etc etc

I have music on almost every waking moment. Although I'm not big into rap I do have a couple Freddie Gibbs songs that get played a lot ("Thuggin'" and "Forever And a Day" and a few other artists but it's few and far between)

Ah man, I could have done something better with that.

Post 420 is about drugs. Coincidence?

"new"

Thanks for the tag!

Adderall would be your best bet for focusing on something there's also Vyvanse, and Dexedrine.

You could also opt for Ritalin or Concerta but these are not stimulants.

Edit - You could also opt for something that you don't need a script for and something that you may not grow a dependable on depending how long your using it for.

AddeRX, ADDTabz and Adrena are a few I know of.

Crunchbang was my favorite 10 years ago. I tried the new version about a year ago, not sure why I gave it up. For servers its Debian.
For desktop I tried Qubes also recently, but it looked like a bit much for everyday use.
I've settled on Mint Cinnamon. Good so far, except fingerprint login is buggy.

I don't know any good argument against open source, but that doesn't mean you have to open source everything you do. Decide for yourself.

There's some good arguments against using Python, though. Might as well read this and figure out for yourself what kind of code you want to write: https://suckless.org/philosophy/

It should be illegal to pad bills with dumb bullshit like this, and politicians who promote it should be fucking tar and feathered.

Recreationally did adderall a few times. I definitely got some shit done. If he can get a RX for it I'd say it wouldn't hurt.

Someone made /f/drugs , but this is probably going to get more attention here.

IDK. I'm a caffeine guy. I'd probably be able to create a certain level of natural energy if I didn't flood my system with caffeine every day. I had room mate with an adderall prescription before, and it seemed to help him do last minute school work on his like 6th year into a 4 year degree. (Ha)

Paging /u/adam , he's our resident stimulant user as far I can tell.

why does anyone even watch the mainstream corporate news anymore? the never had any credibility in the first place.

When did I say that? It is the official I2P code host. I'm a member of the I2P team, I run the service, we own the "I2P Developers" namespace. We approved the TOS before they went into effect on zzz.i2p. We require GPG for our commits so all the checkins are attributable to the person who checked them in. People who want to can file an issue with the TOS in the TOS repository I linked before. I can't guarantee that I will take action on it but the catch-all answer behind the answer to issues with my TOS is to host more competing git hosts on I2P, which I wrote an easy-to-follow guide for that is linked prominently in the TOS.

It's open to the community so the community can contribute, and host their own code if they want. In the same way another team member ran the old mtn host. The only difference is that I can allow people to join gitlab and use it as a public code host, whereas mtn was open only to the I2P team.

I see... so it's not the official i2p code host? Maybe I need to reread that "monotone to git thing" 🤔

Unfortunately, the climate created by the US media has been very successful at dividing the population and making it controllable this way. It reaches outside of the US borders too.

This isn't only a problem on the right either. The left employs the same techniques: making fun of the right, trying to offend "the other side", acting offended and shocked once attacked, retreating to echo chambers, invading spaces that have nothing to do with politics, "you're either with us or you're against us".

Both sides think they're right and refuse to find middle ground. It's happening in so many groups "us vs. them". There are no winners and nobody's completely correct or wrong.

Along with a fake Companies House number that's tied to a company in England that dissolved years ago.

Along with one review on their Trustpilot all in capital letters.

In the same period, dozens of other community network projects have popped up around the country, filling in where commercial ISPs refuse to upgrade aging fiber.

That's surely copper, right? Is there anything beyond fiber available?

I am familiar with this complaint, but it came a little too late for me to change the hosting service decision from Gitlab to Gitea. That being said, since I generally consider gitea a little more managable for smaller, self-hosted deployments, and since it's pure-Go and a little more monolithic, it will be slightly easier to set it up to be self configuring with SAMv3. So give it a little time, and I'll make Gitea I2P-Native.

TL:DR because I write the TOS. It's a service hosted and administered by me, personally, and made available to the community. I'm not a corporation, I don't have staff, I kind of have a datacenter but it's actually just a bunch of old desktops and a switch, and I have non-gitlab responsibilities. I have to make policies that keep this service manageable for me to administer and that means things like not allowing people to potentially automate registration. The fact that I have to go in and approve accounts case-by-case means that automatic registration is almost moot point and I don't have to set up a captcha.

If my TOS are not satisfactory, I also wrote a guide to hosting your own gitlab service on I2P using gitlab: http://i2p-projekt.i2p/en/blog/post/2020/03/16/gitlab-over-i2p which is still accurate. It can be hosted on old hardware, raspberry pi's, probably with enough hacking a chroot on a phone if you wanted. There are plenty of other easy-to-setup git services like gitea, cgit, gitbucket, or whatever else anyone wants. Just point a tunnel at the web service and the SSH port and set the http_proxy environment variable to the value of an HTTP Proxy.

Lol, yeah... Reddit would ban you for that.

No real issues. I've had to whitelist a few items early on, and I don't specifically recall what they were. But I've added much more to the blacklist than I've ever had to manually whitelist.

I just like that it works network wide, so it doesn't matter if I'm on my phone, desktop, laptop, etc. If you got a pi laying around (or a spare $25 to buy one), I'd say go for it. Makes for a good first RPI project if you've not messed with them that much.

Mine is pretty much set-and-forget now. I login occasionally to check for updates and that's it.

The volunteers blanketing cities with wireless internet

Before the pandemic, people found creative ways to get around big internet providers. Now they’re doing even more. by Lynne Peskoe Yang

October 21, 2020

On a crisp, sunny morning in August, software engineer Rodrigo Espinosa de los Monteros rode up 22 floors to a stranger’s rooftop in the Two Bridges neighborhood of Manhattan’s Lower East Side. Willem Boning, an acoustical designer and fellow volunteer for the grassroots wireless project NYC Mesh, was waiting on the roof with two backpacks full of networking equipment. Their destination was a foot-long plastic wireless antenna, shaped like a squared-off satellite dish and mounted on the roof’s edge. The antenna is a “node” in NYC Mesh—a community-owned network of devices that blankets parts of the city with free Wi-Fi.

Directly to the north of Espinosa and Boning loomed the former Verizon building at 375 Pearl Street, now owned by Sabey Data Centers and occupied by workers from the city government and the New York Police Department. NYC Mesh pays rent to data centers like Sabey for the right to build supernodes at key internet gateways, where wireless traffic links up to the rest of the Web. NYC Mesh then distributes the bandwidth wirelessly, giving new internet access options to people who live where the ISP’s service doesn’t reach or is unreliable. NYC Mesh covers its costs with donations from its users.

Without pressure from local competitors, ISPs can force customers in underserved regions to settle for unreliable connections at steep prices.

From the volunteers’ position, a supernode—a multi-­antenna monstrosity responsible for linking much of the network on the Lower East Side to nodes in Brooklyn—was barely visible atop the Sabey building. Before them, in the shadow of the supernode’s signal, lay four residential buildings too short to get an angle on the antennas above them. For the next two and a half hours, Boning and Espinosa, along with another volunteer helping remotely with configuration, would work to create a route for internet traffic to those buildings via the node on the rooftop they had climbed to. “As soon as I learned what the Mesh was,” says Espinosa, “I was like, ‘Oh, this is awesome.’” In Lower Manhattan, which has an underground fiber-­optic network, residents still rely on wireless connections to route their internet from the fiber up to their apartments. For this step, renters are often restricted by building contracts to buying service from a single commercial internet provider. “Even people who can afford their internet are unhappy,” says Jillian Murphy, a university administrator and volunteer admin for NYC Mesh. In January, the mayor’s office released an 88-page report on the “digital divide”; it estimated that some 40% of the city’s households, about 3.4 million people, lack reliable broadband access.

The pandemic has only intensified the need. With much of daily life forced online not just in New York but all over the US, some local communities have been blanketing their neighborhoods in free Wi-Fi to help those who need it most. In San Rafael, California, for example, the working-­class neighborhood of Canal has one of the highest case rates for the novel coronavirus in Marin County, as well as some of the spottiest wireless access. Over the summer, a coalition of activists, government officials, and corporate sponsors scrambled to construct a brand-new urban mesh network in time to bring Canal’s students to their virtual classrooms this fall. The new mesh, Canal WiFi, has since morphed into a multipurpose community platform, offering Canal’s 12,000 residents information in English, Spanish, and Vietnamese on everything from eviction protection to coronavirus tests to immigration support. A week before Espinosa and Boning met up in Two Bridges, tropical storm Isaias had pummeled the city with wind speeds comparable to those seen in Hurricane Sandy, causing massive power outages. More than 130,000 New Yorkers lost power, some for weeks. The loss of connection became its own disaster, making network resiliency all the more important. Since lockdowns began, interest “has stayed up quite a bit,” Murphy says. “Especially because a lot of people suddenly need better internet, or faster internet, or they lost their job and can’t afford the commercials ISPs anymore.”

No but I've been meaning to. Seems simple enough. Have you had issues with yours?

Acid and mushrooms and weed. I'd love to do DMT but it's not one of those things that's just casually around. I'd also love to do some peyote. I try to go on a solid trip once every few months for a good reset and I smoke frequently but usually not much if that makes sense. The lady hates the smell of it so I usually just take a vape hit here or there.

Never got into coke, i've done it, I just don't like things going up my nose really lol. I did have a adderall / vyvance phase for a while but speed just isn't for me.
