@ryo @xianc78 @graf If you want a truly impossible mode challenge, try to avoid dbus. It's a systemd component. Most distributions "without systemd" actually have every single component of systemd other than the init system (so they may still have all of these other than the actual init called systemd: http://troubleshooters.com/linux/systemd/images/systemd_modularity.svg ).

And I mention dbus in particular because good luck avoiding that one even on the BSDs, not even installing OpenBSD will get rid of that one. It's a dependency for both Qt and GTK3 and up. It can be patched out of GTK3, but no distribution does that other than Hyperbola, and I don't know if it can be patched out of GTK4. Anyway, at least if you use a BSD, potential future vulnerabilities will be less likely to affect you, I guess. Especially OpenBSD.

Also, Luakit is similar to QuteBrowser but uses LuaJIT instead of Python, GTK instead of Qt, and Webkit instead of WebEngine. Nyxt is another Webkit browser, but it's written in Common Lisp instead, and is more Emacs-like. It can also be hooked up to Emacs ( https://yewtu.be/watch?v=XarwuynpWkA ), like any Lisp program. I still have to do that myself, only haven't because I have been very very sick of technology in the last few years.

About that... I gave Alex the benefit of the doubt for a while because I did get useful information from him (particularly specific terms that I then searched and read about myself), but that is over. He is definitely controlled opposition, guaranteed. I had some doubts about him because of how he totally ignores the role of Israel in pretty much everything evil that happens, and his defense of Putin (a WEF Young Global Leader, and legitimately a tyrant, that pushes the same agenda as everyone else)

And also how he constantly pacifies the opposition into doing nothing and just waiting for some magical political solution that has never happened and will never happen. Constantly saying shit like "don't burn down Bill Gates' businesses, just peacefully protest on the way to the extermination camps", when clearly, enforcing the golden rule and doing to them what they have done to others is the only solution and nothing in the history of humanity has ever been accomplished without buildings burning and bodies flying around.

Anyway, it turns out that both him and Joe Rogan have some very bad connections. Including to George Soros, the same Soros that Alex constantly speaks against. Lots of Israeli and military and intelligence connections, even Soviet, even to the church of Satan. They are total frauds and are not doing what they do with good intent, even if some of their information is real. I of course do not trust anyone that has been on Joe Rogan, at this point. Already didn't trust most of them. Too many psychopathic frauds, like Elon Musk, probably the worst of the bunch. At this point, I'm pretty convinced that I was wrong for giving him the benefit of the doubt at all.

Here are some videos that talk about the subject:

@ArdainianRight @D-Droid @MechaSilvio @YeetLibs That's what ppl should be focused on, change at the local/personal level. It's easy to feel blackpilled at the state of things in a macro sense but honestly just having your shit together to a certain degree is a big step in the right direction.

I wish I wasn't such a bad artist. I hate relying on stock assets for my games. Specifically, I wish I could do hand-drawn art or do 24x24 or 32x32 assets. 16x16 while easier to do, is way too limiting for me.

I've embraced being a bad artist back in my childhood because I had shitty art teachers who said I was terrible so I just embraced it and said that art isn't my thing. I really regret it now.

I may be anti-globalist, but I really do believe that we should all be speaking the same language now.

I'm writing a post that's going to go on my webpage as a HTML text file about the Kiwi Farms drama honestly since I think there is a lot people can learn from this whole thing on both how to fend off attacks like what the site is going up against, but also how not to draw so much heat.

Canada considering vaccines for citizens every 3 MONTHS. credits to @Badmann for sending me the article. Excerpt below:

"The National Advisory Committee on Immunization said on Thursday that Canadians may consider getting a vaccine every 90 days, the tightest deadline to date, according to Blacklock’s Reporter.

“A shorter interval of at least three months may be warranted in the context of heightened epidemiological risk as well as operational considerations for the efficient deployment of the COVID-19 vaccination program,” a summary of a National Advisory Committee on Immunization statement said on Sept. 1.

Just weeks ago the Department of Health said a booster every nine months was sufficient."

It's nice to see an insurgence of people using fedi after Jim and others joined but I hope they realize there's other instances out there than just poast and they might enjoy another instance that's less crowded :blobcatsip:

Poast right now seems like Beyond Scared Straight.

No longer using Cloudflare as they're supremely cucked :bear2:

Will take a while for the name server change to propagate, and idk if it will break media again on seal.cafe but that's just a minor inconvenience if it does break really. The hosting solution we are using for media has zero egress fees anyways and we shouldn't need the caching that CF provided anymore. :floppaBIG:

And I hate climate/overpopulation alarmists more than COVID alarmists

All the research I did after my masters was in sensor networks. I wish I could do a full blog post on remote sensing, but a lot of stuff I learned from professors and R&D/factories and under NDAs … but the TL;DR is satellite data is really garbage .. and the Earth is always warming on the downward slop of an ice age. All this climate stuff is absolutely insane … and when people freeze to death they’re just going to blame climate change and not how nations cut off their nuclear and oil supplies.
