My response to this challenge is the same as the one to the cold shower challenge. I always take a cold shower. Every day. Forever.

I always use the command line only unless utterly impossible. Every day. Forever.

Browsers are were this falls apart. I'm using qutebrowser, which is kinda close, but it isn't a CLI browser. Most websites are incompatible with CLI browsers, so that's not going to work. I'm also still using a GUI music player and email client. The former because it JustWorks™, but I'm planning on replacing it with mpd and ncmpcpp or whatever it was called. The latter because it JustWorks™ and I'm using it so rarely that it frankly doesn't matter.

I'm doing most of my image manipulation from the cli, though. I also use a script to crawl Youtube for me, so I don't have to actually visit youtube anymore. Newsboat (RSS reader) to "subscribe" to channels and the script to search for videos. Works pretty good.

The reason I mostly use the CLI is because it is more convenient.

I don't think it's half-nigger-women fault it's there in the first place, every corporate monstrosity has it's own arsenal of backdoors. But it may be half-nigger-women fault it was discovered and made public.

universal fundamental rights What those may be I wonder? Let's go on trusty wikipedia which totally never lies nor promotes interests of israel and learn. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fundamental_rights third sentence says you have no rights and links on agenda 21. You have been opted out of your rights it seems before you had the chance to opt out of technocracy.

Also that's one hell of bloated website. At least when wannabe masters use it they suffer as much as us peasants.

If they don't want you then you don't need them. That's my very permanent solution.

I mean, it was fixed a while ago, but yes, this seems like something that whites wouldn’t have allowed to happen.

Interesting project, and thanks for the Parky Towers link. I'm right into low powered devices, my RaspberryPi runs off a battery pack (30000mah) and I'll look at anything that doesn't require AC. Mainly because I'm on the road a lot (off grid).

charging your iPhone inside your microwave

This definitely works. I do it every morning to charge my phone and heat my tea at the same time.

Like charging your iPhone inside your microwave.

There's something similar on Windows, where someone would tell others to "open cmd.exe" and type del System32, which would destroy the core system files. Probably the simplest form of malware to ever exist. I've heard stories of people actually falling for that.

Thank you!

Good article. Everyone of us knows a hoarder.

Good read.

I don't have the problem. I'm kind of a hoarder, but I hate spending money, so each purchase I make gets vetted intensely and I take months, sometimes years between "I need that" and "I bought it". Stuff I want, but do not need, I won't even think about buying. If I don't need it, I won't spend money on it.

So I still have a laptop from the 1990s, but I only have three laptops in total.

If I didn't passionately hate spending money for myself I would probably be very cluttered, too. When giving gifts on the other hand, I am not stingy at all.

But even as a kid I hated parting with stuff I owned. Tech or none tech. Not sure why I have such a hard time letting go of stuff I don't actually need anymore.

You have a broken link in the "Related Articles" section. The very last one. The file that it points to doesn't have a ".html" extension.

Once Space X's Starlink has increased satellite coverage of the planet, and that roaming dish coverage is enabled like mobile WIFI (currently its not, just fixed positioning of the dish at your residence with up to a 30km peripheral radius), then SSB messaging will be "always on".

Thank you. I just corrected the problem.

There is a bug on your search form. Any search result comes with a warning message:

Warning: Use of undefined constant allow - assumed 'allow' (this will throw an Error in a future version of PHP) in /var/www/html/forms_php/search.php on line 160

The number of times this warning appears is equivalent to the number of search results returned.

Google seems to be showing the site, but only the index page. Most of the results are other sites containing links.

https://www.google.com/search?q=cheapskatesguide

It does start showing individual articles after a bit of tinkering, like doing "repeat the search with the omitted results included."

my recollection of secure scuttlebutt was that it was a cool idea but sucked in function

Should Ramble have a decentralized Internet forum?

Also, what HTML tag do I need to include in an article to get a picture to be visible beside the title on Ramble? Apparently <meta property="og:image" content=""> does not work.

Good read, and something I miss about the internet of yesteryear. Online accounts with avatars of cartoons or TV shows, online handles that were based on hobbies or interests and no two sites required the same login. A better time.

never heard of it

How friendly to free speech is riseup? It certainly doesn't present itself as such.

For example, would it be less likely to kick off somebody using their email service in a flyer they don't like than Protonmail? Everybody gushes over these little services, yet the first change they have of calling you a racist for something you didn't even do with their service, they will cut you off.

What's the point of feeding communists, who hate me, all my data voluntarily?

It's registered in AU and they have operations there, but they claim the "main servers" are in the US.

The CEO griped that secret code added to their platform, required by the law, could foul their operations or get accidentally fixed, so they certainly think they're subject to it.

Is it based there, as in, that is where the company is registered?

Or is it based there, as in, that is where the servers are?

If that's just where the company is registered, no big deal really. (As far as I know) If the servers / infrastructure for the service is there, then that is more worrisome.

Fastmail location is not really a problem, but there are others that make it the second worst e-mail provider, the first one being Hushmail. I would only use it for its JMAP thing ltt.rs supports, but most people use IMAP instead, so why bother? Just use Riseup (or Disroot if you don't have the invite code) - you don't even have to pay for it!
