I would totally read that book

I’m all for getting into old school tech, I even like to browse neocities.org on occasion just for the hit of nostalgia for the old web rings. I never got into newsgroups though, and I’m wondering what reasons you might use that instead of something like Lemmy, Mastodon etc?
Apart from the piracy side, I know all about that already lol
I wish he had the balls to follow through with it
This is fucking amazing
I like the idea of calling it ex-twitter. I came up with the idea when I was having a shower… Hang on… there’s a community for that! brb
I wish I could just up and buy a farm, that sounds like the life to me.
What it seems to me that you’re suggesting is essentially crowd sourcing a mix of investigative journalism and data analysis, which is not a skill I think that just anybody can pick up and do properly. To be fair I’ve never tried my hand at investigative journalism, but I have done a few units of data analysis and trust me there’s a hundred different ways to do it wrong. Even among the experts, there’s a lot of disagreements to what the best approaches are. I had a teacher even say that if you give a set of data to 10 data analysts, you’ll get back 12 different ways of interpreting it.
That is all to say that I’m not sure how much you’d be solving by providing another forum for people to post their takes on public policy issues, but then again if you manage to attract the right crowd of critical thinkers, who also happen to be open minded enough not to insert their own agendas into matters, perhaps people might hold each other accountable?
BTW have you checked that something similar doesn’t already exist? Insert obligatory xkcd comic:
Do the numbers themselves have any specific origin or meaning?
been with windscribe for 5 years now on arch, it works great. There’s only a CLI app but it works fine
Wood is mostly cellulose and lignin, which holds no nutritional value to us humans. Another comment said that termites have certain enzymes which digest it, but it’s actually the bacteria in their guts which break down the woody fibres so they can turn it into glucose. So, theoretically, maybe we could isolate those bacteria and somehow incorporate them into our guts too? I mean it probably wouldn’t work, but you never know until you try right?
iphones aren’t that common in Australia where I am so it’s never come up as a problem here. I usually give people shit when I find out they’re using one cos imo they’re a waste of money lol
Wow thanks that’s the best breakdown I’ve read! I’ve been torrenting for maybe 15 years and used to collect all the shows I watched until one day my external hard drive died and I lost everything :(
Nowadays I just delete a show after I’ve watched it, so Idon’t think I’ll worry about making my own server yet. I’ve had a look into it and think I’ll start off with NZB Geek as indexer and Frugal Usenet as a server. Drunken Slug seems pretty popular too but they don’t seem to be open for registrations atm
that’s unfortunate, making an account for me took like a minute
Can you recommend any good walk-throughs for noobs? I didn’t even know you needed a server lol
I’ve looked into doing that myself before, but it seemed like a lot of work and research to get it set up
I was under the impression that electromagnetic radiation is both a wave and a particle, and it’s known as the “wave particle duality”.
Cool, I just installed Thunderbird and am giving it a go.
