Interesting. Probably it’s fake, but an interesting thought experiment. I’ll just principally DCA regardless 🫂 View quoted note →

It is outrageous and ridiculous how difficult and expensive the US government makes it to legally own suppressors. Absolutely asinine the bureaucratic layers added on to someone who just wants to responsibly train self defense while protecting their hearing View quoted note →

I detest most movies that come out these days but I am pretty excited about the “Homestead” movie from Angel Studios that is coming out on December 20th. I might even go see it that night 😅

Amid chaos, ex-Green Beret joins prepper compound; love grows, truths arise, and a community unites.

I enjoyed the “Black Autumn” book series the movie is based on. #prepper

By and large I love Signal Messenger but I don’t like how it handles ‘reacts’ — I’ll often get a notification that I’ll ignore because I’m on my phone but working on something but then I can’t find who reacted what to what

Call me old-fashioned, but it seems obvious that it should be a basic courtesy to zap someone if you intend to take what they’ve made and post it from your own account to collect zaps for yourself. 🤷‍♂️ View quoted note →

I haven’t gone to theaters in years but a group was going to see the new Bonhoeffer film. The movie was interesting but l’ll need some time to reflect on it before I have anything deep to share about the content. What I will say now is that after paying almost $20 per ticket having the first 25 minutes be mostly advertisements is outrageous. It used to be just previews of other things to see but there were literally banks and megafood corps pushing their poisons

Tell people you interact with the niche things you like about them. Sharing your gratitude with others is a magical gift. It makes them feel loved and appreciated and it helps create more of the excellence that you cherish.

I love finding great deals on food and using that as the impetus to try new things. Snagged a medium sized turkey for less than 5 bucks 🤑 Seasoned it up and right now it’s #SousVide cooking for 24 hours and will do a hot and fast rip on the #Smoker to finish it. Hope it turns out well!

Whatever you think about the commit in question, an underlying issue seems to be that no project will every be completely free if it relies on GitHub or other similar gatekeeper who can set arbitrary ToS and ban you View quoted note →

I used to think single people who talked about their “fur babies” were being silly and fun. Call me crazy but I’m now inclined to believe this is a majorly detrimental neuroticism and not as innocent as I once believed. Most Men and women should be rising to the historical challenge and celebrating their raising of the next generation of humans

It is frustratingly difficult to securely move a file from an untrusted computer (somewhere I don’t want to enter an account password) to a more trusted personally owned device. PrivateBin shows some promise

Instance Directory - Welcome!

#SimpleX is amazing but I am not a fan that despite all its technical wins it does not yet: 1) offer more emoji reaction options 2) show you who reacted with what emoji (I understand the privacy implications/importance in public-oriented groups but in private-oriented groups this would be useful context)

Most people just want their tyrant in charge 😔

Maybe I’m a psychopathic ideologue but I’m keen to the idea of destroying the private keys to my bitcoin before turning it over to the state if they were to attempt an unlawful and immoral seizure. I unfortunately don’t have that much but as far as I’m able I’ll endeavor that it never gets turned over to the state in an immoral seizure. I am prepared to watch this ship go down. I don’t know if it will ever come to that (hope it won’t!) but good to consider the worst case scenarios and brace oneself in advance as well as preparing for whatever possible contingency scenarios you can think of

Claiming that suddenly stopping extortion would hurt the economy seems like a quintessential broken window fallacy! Almost so dumb you’d need a PhD in economics to believe it 🙄 https://mises.org/mises-wire/broken-window
