If you start getting antsy for... Alternative options, you could get a directional antenna and point that to a receiver (or a chain of receivers and transmitters) to a family member or friend's house.

Given you can still text, meshtastic is not a solution here. You're probably looking for video streaming right?

Could leech off of a public library and download enough entertainment to keep you busy for a while.

There's this thing called a "Virtual mailbox". It's a snail mail address with a company that scans your mail in for you. Ever since my Alt-Net series I have thought of setting one up for people to submit web requests to and then I would mail the response from the Internet server they were trying to reach. I haven't because I don't know if anyone would care to use it, but anytime I experience internet issues I think about how nice it would be to mail in a mass video download request (from YouTube or something)

ROSS DON'T DO IT, YOU JUST GOT OUT!!!

Siggy! Why are you waiting on the third post? My last post was post 5!

I made it very easily searchable by calling it "Altnet" as well. That series was one of the ones that inspired me to post less ironically. I wanted to learn more, build more, make the DTN GUI stack of dreams. But I have a long way to go and that isn't even what I'm working on right now lol. I'm just trying to get a simple hello world GUI working with the nix package manager.

What's the best wine for someone who's favorite liquors are the sweet ones (rum, soju, (plum wine doesn't count if you don't make it lol)

Did you ever get a lightning wallet? Last time I bought from you, I had to send on-chain lol.

If so, what are you using?

This video brings up the problem of open source software changing licenses to proprietary ones making FOSS not a safe haven for artists looking to use software they won't later lose access to.

So I pointed out that while this is a problem for FOSS, its not an issue for Libre software which uses the GPL as the GPL restricts that from happening.

You didn't just say Bitcoin has no unit smaller than sats, you are also saying you will do what you can to keep it that way. You will make sure Bitcoin doesn't scale.

So to you, Bitcoin is about propping up a new oligarchy. Not freedom, not hope for the future, not self sovereignty, just a few million elite and billions of servants who can pick between millions of masters.

I may very well create my own shitcoin, if this becomes true and a decade of nothing to change it follows.

I'm getting second hand embarrassment reading this article.

Interesting. I logged into my gmail with the NixOS build of librewolf and got a windows 10 sign in alert.

Some browsers tell the website this information, some browsers lie about this information. Librewolf is one of the browsers that lie. There might be some technical nuance about the tabs being containerized in a windows container even though I'm using a linux machine or something, but from what I've gathered so far, it lies to websites to make you as the user seem less unique and more generic. Its a good privacy tactic, but its just me. I just want it to tell people I'm on Linux so that eventually marketing strategies adjust to a wider trend of wider linux adoption.

I (perhaps controversially) don't like that librewolf tells websites my machine is a Windows machine. I want those bastards to know I'm based.

One more step towards being ruled by AI overlords (more than we already are)

I disagree actually with the idea that Bitcoin is DEI. Bitcoin doesn't discriminate, Bitcoin treats everyone equally, and that is why it is NOT DEI.

Because DEI doesn't mean "don't discriminate". It actually means to discriminate in such a way that corrects for majority discrimination against minorities.

Whereas DEI stands for:

Diversity Equity Inclusion

Consider this common meme (which in this example has been expanded upon) which demonstrates the difference between equity and equality.

Lets role play that my Epitaph wasn't written by me or my family.

"For the crime of writing guides to aid criminals and terrorists worldwide operate and use unregistered money transmitting services; sentenced to prison

Served life in prison for contempt of court refusing to give up seed phrase

Bitcoin was in a timelocked multi-signature wallet. The new owners of the Bitcoin are unknown and at large

Famous last words:

I want. 5k sat option. Reply to this message and I'll zap it as proof of payment or whatever.

He is in fact wrong. The reason that they are wrong is because of this annoying (to them) thing called etymology, not because the government said so lmao
