This is one of those “no shit” things that Rachel Carson talked about in 1962.

damnthefilibuster OP ,

huh. Never thought about public pihole servers. So nice of those folks running them.

I don't understand how you're saying you've stopped self-hosting VPN and are still using tailscale. Are you using their SaaS service? Does that allow you to set your own DNS? Do they have speed limits? Are they zero-logs?

damnthefilibuster OP ,

So do you run a tailscale exit node on one of the public clouds or a VPS provider like DigitalOcean?

damnthefilibuster OP ,

Thanks!

How do you connect with people and make friends without social media?

I'm struggling to figure out how to make friends without having Instagram or any other social media. I have discord but don't use it much. I see all my acquaintances in discord channels and sharing Instagram posts and stuff. It's already hard for me to make friends, but I feel like not having any of the traditional social media...

So wait, the people who need the aid, came to the trucks and asked for the aid / demanded the aid, so the UN checks notes suspended the aid?!!!?!

The US tax agency is despicable. They have no teeth and no time to find and persecute real tax defaulting millionaires and billionaires.

That seems to vibe with the salad cat meme more than this one.

Can’t tell if real or GenAI.

They always have.

Never knew the name of the guy behind it. Nice! This is why Everybody Loves Raymond!

To be fair, these posts seem to be youth who are hating the immediate environment which is affecting them. Not the entire country. However in typical youth hyperbole, they’d rather write that they hate the whole country rather than specific people in it.

Also, this can be generalized to be youth of literally any country in the world. These issues they’re bringing up are part of the human condition.

I wonder what the storage requirements are.

Yes, because till University, you’re trying to learn something new. And the best way to learn is by doing.

At work, all you’re trying to do is save money (for the corporation). Best way to do that is to reuse, recycle.
