It’s not an LLM, I’m just naturally talented like that. Glad I could make you laugh.

Is the “No advertisement” rule relevant here?

If it is then we better not talk about Java because it’s an advertisement for Oracle. Or claude or google or nvidia…

This is basically advertisement for a casino and/or ponzi scheme.

Show me a casino where the longer you stay the more likely you are to win and one where good players consistently win. If crypto is a ponzi scheme then so are most stocks, fiat, gold or any other financial market that requires someone else to buy what you’re selling in order to “cash out”.

Yeah.

It’s a meme I made. It’s funny because you can see the wojak standing alone in the corner in a pile of fiat being printed by the federal reserve saying that “They don’t know it’s a scam” while everyone else is having fun transacting p2p permissionlessly, and privately while preserving their wealth. In the background you can see a graph of the m2 usd money supply growing exponentially and bellow a graph of ₿ supply growing logarithmically. To the right, above dancing monerochan you’ll find a comparison of a price of a house in a given year measured in usd and bitcoin.

If you’re behind cgnat opening ports on your router won’t do you any good. You have to call your isp and ask them for a dedicated public ip, usually for a price if they offer one at all. If that ip is static you can remember it, if not, you need ddns. If you’re one of the lucky few not behind cgnat then yeah, your setup will be the simplest possible, but if you are, like the majority of people these days, it’s one of the most complicated.

Depends what you mean by setting up ssh. Installing sshd, sure. Opening up ports, calling your isp to buy dedicated ip if they even offer one, getting a domain, setting up ddns…

That’s not always an option and when it is, setting it up is often more complicated and less secure than using a relay server. Honestly, the fastest (to setup), easiest and most secure option would be ssh server as a tor hidden service. Everything is handled by tor out of the box, .onion domain name, nat hole punching, E2EE, port scanning bots… all taken care of, no need for opening ports, static ip, dns, ddns, fail2ban, worrying that there’s a 0 day or that you misconfigured something. No one can exploit you service if nobody knows it exists.

If you can rent a vps you can use it as a relay server. You setup sshd on your home pc and ssh to the vps with the -R flag.

ssh -R 8022:localhost:22 user@relay

As long as the connection is live you can ssh to the server via relay. If you set GatewayPorts to yes on the relay in sshd_config then it will act as an open port on your home pc and anyone will be able to connect to it over the internet with

ssh -p 8022 user@relay

so make sure to secure it correctly, only allow ssh keys etc. If you set GatewayPorts to no, then only clients connected to the relay will be able to connect to the server, this is a must have if you’re gonna use unsecure protocols like VNC. First ssh to the server

ssh user@relay

next

ssh user@localhost -p 8022

or one line, especially useful when combined with -i to point at the home pc’s ssh key stored on the client

ssh -J user@relay user@localhost -p 8022

You can also setup VNC over ssh. Add 2nd -R on home pc with vnc ports

ssh -R 5901:localhost:5901 user@relay

or together

ssh -R 8022:localhost:22 -R 5901:localhost:5901 user@relay

On the client ssh with the -L flag

ssh -L 5091:localhost:5091 user@relay

Now you can connect your VNC client to

localhost:1

The point isn’t so much the speed and comfort of the commute itself.

The point is that a car is an inefficient power-wasting piece of trash, and the oil rigs that power it have significant negative impacts on people and the environment, all for the sake of commuters being lazy idiots. And you’d have to be an idiot to let a car take away your mobility.

3d printer go brrr.

Alternative title: “How to become a multi millionaire in less than 2 years.”

As if democrats weren’t doing the same thing. It’s a uniparty. The difference is the same as pokémon red and blue, you get to choose the color of the package and which monster you get.

3d print it.

If you dont need an sbc or something arm based mini pcs/thin clients/laptops work well. I run redlib, yamtrack and a monero node on hp t630 w/ 16GB ram (bought before the rampocalypse for ~ $60) and a torrent seedbox/streaming nas on wyse 3040 (~$10). Here’s a great website about thin clients https://www.parkytowers.me.uk/thin/hware/hardware.shtml

Loans have to be repaid and I’m not talking about liquidity. If you have a billion $ in cash and use it to fund a billion $ research vessel, you have a billion $ research vessel. You’re still a billionaire. Gaben owns large portion of Valve, a multi billion $ company. The only way for him to no longer be a billionaire is to either

• Sell his stake in Valve and burn, give away or otherwise loose all the money.
• Devalue Valve to the point that it’s no longer worth billions of $.

Tell me you don’t understand net worth without telling me you don’t understand net worth. Do you think being a billionaire means holding a 10,000,000 $100 bills under your mattress?

Monero - private, permissionless, decentralized, p2p, digital cash system.

Reticulum - cryptography-based networking stack designed to build secure, decentralized, and resilient local or wide-area networks using readily available hardware. It operates independently of traditional internet protocols (like IP), enabling communication under adverse conditions such as high latency and extremely low bandwidth with:

• Forced e2e encryption and forward secrecy
• Initiator anonymity
• Multi-hop and self-configuring routing
• Heterogenous network support
• Decentralized addressing

Basically internet 2.0

Arweave - private, permissionless, decentralized, p2p, permanent data storage/server.

https://ihostart.com/ one of the cheapest I know.

https://ardrive.io/ for a permanent, encrypted, decentralized, blockchain based solution.

A raspberry pi hidden in a wall behind a power socket or in some always plugged in appliance like a fridge or tv at some place with wifi or a phone with a data plan connected to a portable solar charger set up on some roof or tree.

DRM, digital locks, hardware locking fuses etc. should be illegal. If I buy a car I can change the lights, swap out the engine, do whatever I want with it, it’s mine, I own it. Why shouldn’t I be able to do the same with my phone or game? Why should some company have the right to tell me what I can and can’t do with my own property that I paid for? That’s not DRM (digital rights management) because they have no right to manage my property, it’s OSM (ownership subversion mechanism) and that’s what we should call all that anti consumer bullshit.
