@pjcyto It's going to severely cripple the crypto market though and if governments start forcing ISPs to block the protocols then agorists and crypto-anarchists will need to start creating black-market ISPs.

@PhenomX6 @vriska @coolboymew Yeah. Throughout my college career, I realized that college is bullshit and I would encourage anyone to try to find a different path if they can. I only went because my grandparents have invested enough over the decades to pay for our tuitions. I don't know how it would've went if I had to pay for college myself, especially since I didn't have a job back in high school (I was the kid who sold food when the teachers weren't looking, but that wasn't enough).

I wish gifted high schools were more common here. It would at least be a better alternative to college for those who are "gifted", but there seems to be a lot of controversy around them because of their exclusive nature.

@Mr_NutterButter Seems like most English speakers go with French if they don't want to learn Spanish.

@coolboymew @vriska It's really hard. I also didn't have time to work on programming projects in my free time due to school and my part-time job. I haven't finished a hobby project since high school and those projects were shitty clones of old Atari games.

@hj Just install a normal distro and stop listening to the memes.

@coolboymew @vriska That's pretty difficult for an autistic person like me, but I'm trying my best.

@coolboymew @vriska I'm in my last semester of college. I was unable to get an internship due to the COVID shitshow. It's straight to the workforce for me. Luckily, my brother is in the same field as I am and can easily help me get a job.

@GNUxeava @icedquinn I've been saying this multiple times here already: this war is just a psy-op to accelerate the Great Reset and Agenda 21/30 because COVID-19 wasn't enough.

@icedquinn@blob.cat you see, the people behind the war, on both sides, are sitting in a safe place. The ones getting killed are not. The ones being oppressed are not safe either. The party being killed is being exploited to farm profits, the party being oppressed is now further being oppressed by private companies. While both parties are at a massive loss, the third party farming profits isn't.

@coolboymew @vriska Our campus is partnered with a job search site called Handshake which is what I'm using right now.

@coolboymew @vriska I don't care if I never get a decent job after college because of it. I'm never using that shit.

In case you missed it, FSE now supports the finger protocol, RFC 1288. I tweaked it a little, added a big-ass comment block to the beginning. It is fun. You can now finger anyone on FSE as long as your distro provides the old-timey networking tools.

lain added gopher support ( gopher://freespeechextremist.com/ ) and BBS support (via ssh: `ssh -p 10022 username@freespeechextremist.com `, make sure you are using port 10022), and now I've added finger protocol support, making FSE the premier fediverse supporter of 1990s technology. Let's baffle people running portscanners!

The code is trivial, it's one file, it is a ridiculous hack done as a joke in a thread because @sjw complained that he couldn't finger me. Now anyone on the internet can finger anyone on FSE, and it's pretty easy to set up. See the comments at the top of the file: https://git.freespeechextremist.com/gitweb/?p=fedifinger . You'll have to install Ruby to use it, the short version is you install fedifinger on your instance like this:

$ git clone git://freespeechextremist.com/fedifinger
$ sudo cp fedifinger/fedifinger /usr/local/bin/fedifinger
$ awk 'x{sub(/^#[ \t]*/, "");print "Change \"your-instance-domain\" to your domain and put this line into your /etc/inetd.conf:";print;exit}/inetd\.conf/{x=1}' /usr/local/bin/fedifinger

You might have to restart inetd, but as long as you have installed it correctly, people can now `finger someone@yourinstance`. If you have finger installed (the repo has a ridiculous client in the extras/ subdirectory), then you can do something like the stuff in this screenshot and get something like the results:
