By no means should we avoid the development of the space environment for human gain.

I don’t want to be a naysayer or Luddite (wait, who am I kidding?), but I hard disagree with that take. A space economy will get us nowhere. Yeah, sure, some interesting technology (arguably) came from the Apollo program, and NASA has done some amazing astronomy with JWST and Hubble. But, as with so many other aspects of modern life, the cost is far too great to society as a whole. The energy needed to get anything to or from orbit is enormous, and there is no way around that. The thing we need to curb climate change is reduction of energy usage in any form (driving, flying, electricity, ect.). This is even on top of other issues in rocketry like ozone layer depletion and the light pollution described above. As such, if climate change really is the greatest threat to humanity (which it is), putting anything into space is not a worthwhile venture.

From what I can tell, the issue with Wireguard is that the traffic is quite obvious. Other options might be blocked, but technically harder to implement said blocks.

Yeah, WG is by far the best way to do this kind of networking.

That’s quite fascinating, didn’t realize Wireguard could be blocked in that way (although the WG traffic is pretty obvious looking, so it makes sense). The only solution I know of without a need for a VPS is hosting everything on Tor. Wildly private and secure, but also wildly slow. Beyond that, there are a number of ways of using a VPS to similar effect, I know people have used Cloudflare Tunnel to similar effect in the past.

Also, there are apparently quite a number of wiregaurd derivatives which protect better against detection and blocking methods. amnezia and wstunnel are the two that came up. Likewise, you will need a VPS, and might even be able to set up a tailscale-like coordination server that way (maybe with headscale, or maybe with one of its competitors like NetBird).

ZeroTier might also get the job done, but I really don’t know much about it.

Hope this helps, and good lucks!

There’s a ton of suggestions and stuff already, so don’t want to add to the noise, but thanks for the work! Had no idea about Artix, and almost installed it because of dinit.

Just wanted to say, KaOS is systemd free, it’s been using dinit for the init system for some time now. It does ship with some standalone systemd components like elogind, but so does Chimera. (also a really good project if anyone wants to check it out, quickly becoming my go-to recommend).

Also check out Chimera Linux, it’s a brilliant project. The lead dev is trans, the package management philosophy is very similar to Void, but with Alpine’s APK instead of XBPS, and Dinit is a damn good init system. Here be dragons, but it remains one of my favorite distros.

Even better, it was “hostage negotiation tactics.”

Or the DOE, or the EPA, or… well any three letter agency.

I’m not a lawyer, but I’m pretty sure this would at a the very least be gross negligence on the part of the “AI” companies.

Yeah, your right.

I agree with your sentiment, increasing temperatures and deeply unhealthy forests create superfires, but also that’s not the point of the message. Most wildfires are human-caused and I have seen first hand just how wreckless humans can be around fire.

So, please follow your local fire restrictions, treat any open flame outside with the respect and care it deserve, and most of all, use common sense. A fire started in bad fire weather quite often is an entirely different beast from a fire natural started from lightning strike.

And the sentiment of the meme is unfortunately all too correct. You can simply see it in how conservative the fire authorities are in using air assets. While the scale and furry of fires is caused by climate change, the inevitable loss of property and more importantly life is on the hands of Trump.

The best number.

This is a very apt description of it. I remember the creation of Arda, but beyond that, it’s all a bit fuzzy, like I read the Wikipedia page half asleep and dreamed the rest.

Anyone have a link to download Control Tower Simulator X? Asking for a friend.

Send word to the elves! the time has come. The sword of your forefathers must be reforged! You have my bow. Err the break of dawn, we ride!

I guess they read the silmarillion, but understood not the words they read.

Yup, that sounds exactly like what I do.

Huh, the more you know. My only experience with ZSH is when I briefly used Manjaro, and it seemed fine at the time… but now that I say that I think about it, “Manjaro defaulting to it,” might have been a bit of a red flag…

Yeah, I agree. It’s quirky, its syntax is annoying, and a good ZSH setup is probably better… but I don’t have the time to do an actual ZSH setup.

There’s probably only two people who will get this joke… and I’m one of them.
