Yeah, I’m glad most stopped.

I like to share excerpts from Lemmy with my incredibly right-wing family (hopefully to chip away at their staunch beliefs) and its SOOO much easier to share articles/comments when I don’t need to re-write them to exclude all Drumpf mentions. (Those mentions of course cause the person I’m trying to influence to immediately shut down and not read the rest of what I said)

True, but not much of a shower thought?

I think it depends on when you look back from.

I think of WWI, the Inter-War period, and WWII as three separate periods of time and they cover about 40 years.

I think of The Louisiana Purchase (1803), the start of the Monroe Doctrine (1823), and the Mexican-American War (1846-1848) as all happening about the same time, despite covering about 45 years (before double checking just now, I could’ve sworn the Mexican-American War was in the 1830’s, and that Monroe was president in ~1816, which only drives the point home more).

I doubt we’ll feel the difference by 2100, but between 2200 and 2300 is when I expect that blending to happen.

Interesting.

It looks I was close on my understanding, but not quite there. Lol, guess I’ll need to bust this back open.

So, if I recall correctly, I had to set up a device as an i2p server (seems like they were super light weight and you could configure your phone to do it) and then you could use your browser of choice with the “i2p server” as a proxy.

Its my understanding that each of the “i2p servers” acted as both an entry point and an exit point. That is to say, while my traffic entered the network there, there were other people’s traffic that could be routed through and/or exit via my server.

Am I wrong on that assessment?

Yeah, I don’t think it was confirmed to be suicide, but it sure looks a lot like suicide.

I guess what I mean to say is that I wonder what he’d be up to if he hadn’t done that.

Completely agree.

Kinda get the vibe that guy I’m replying to is asking for the times when its actually needed. If I’ve got the wrong mark there and they’re looking for daily driving, then Mullvad VPN (or comparable) is probably the better way to go.

Yeah, I remember reading about it a few years ago. Guy seems really talented, if kinda crazy and pretty racist. Curious to see where he’d be today if he hadn’t lost his marbles.

Side note, isn’t TempleOS not Linux based?

Seems like the creator (forget his name) had some beef with Linus Torvalds and was originally trying to build something to get away from his software, no?

Edit: yeah, based on the Wikipedia Page, it looks like its not based on the Linux Kernel. Also dev’s name was Terry Davis.

And most likely Beibian too!

Probably TOR.

I hear I2P had a lot of potential, but also a lot of issues. Haven’t checked up on that project in a bit. I know it was a BITCH to set up when I tried plinking with it some years ago.

So TOR (despite the latency/speed issues and its own security concerns) is still probably about as good as it gets.

So I know there’s some drama with lemmy.world and lemmy.ml. I’m passingly familiar with the .ml stuff (that they have a large and vocal population of tankies and red-fash types), but what’s the deal with lemmy.world?

Interesting to hear.

I’m super pumped for the project, but am largely waiting to get properly set up with it until there’s a good app and I can on-board the friends and family all in one go. Really hoping to get them all off TikTok/YT Shorts/Reels/whatever corporate and nation run projects the kids are using these days.

Oh, is loops going to be run as a totally separate service?

I’m not well educated on their project (nor on activity pub beyond a surface level understanding), but it was my understanding that is was going to be run as a sub-service of pixelfed. Don’t suppose you can point to any resources on that topic?

Moderately certain this is already happening, as evidenced by loops showing up so often in my “all” tab. If I understand correctly (and for the love of all that is good, someone please correct me if I’m wrong), Loops is “hosted” via pixelfed.

Wait, you mean that terrible kerning is on an official card?

Lmao, thanks for saving me a click.

Perhaps harvesting the guano is where the Wayne family wealth truly comes from.

Awesome project; super easy to set up the streams in VLC for anyone curious about that.

you could stand up and fight for that

For best results, do not do spontaneously (that is, go grab some friends and coworkers before attempting to take on a big business)
