22·28 days agoAlternative 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.
10·3 months agoIf 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
1·5 months agoLoans 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?
2·7 months agoMonero - 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.
311·7 months agoDRM, 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.
I have a radxa zero 3w seed box that I also stream movies from by mounting it as a network drive. It’s running dietpi and all traffic goes through a wireguard VPN, it’s connected to a sata SSD via a cheapest USB dongle from aliexpress.
If you want to connect multiple drives a dongle like this one
or multiple cheep sata-usb dongles connected via externally powered usb hub should work but your speeds will be limited by the usb.
I haven’t tested it on an sbc but I use it to connect HDDs to my PC that I power from it’s PSU when I do backups. There are also special raspberry pi HATs that allow you to connect multiple SSDs.

With my setup I get ~12 MiB/s download (probably limited because of the VPN overhead) , ram usage doesn’t go above 512 MB even with dietpi dashboard and some of my scripts running. The biggest issue was heat, I had to buy radiators and a fan to keep the temps in the safe range. Other than that everything works great.
You can check benchmarks on dietpi’s website to see what sbc would work best with your network.

Trail Sense - a lot of useful tools like compass, ruler, bubble level, metal detector, unit converter, 3D AR astronomy visualizer and many more.
Editor - a simple text editor, very useful on GrapheneOS to view/edit text files
OpenKeychain - symmetric and asymmetric encryption and decryption with PGP
Imagine if modern games were designed with gaming in mind.
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.
