Look I want to hate on overwatch because they definitely destroyed that one in pursuit of money, but that Torb at the end sitting with his turret and getting potg hit home hard.

Probably still won’t play, but right in the feels man.

Maybe they can bring it back to fun.

The core focus of early crypto was decentralization, not anonymity. Bitcoin is totally decentralized, but the entire premise is the blockchain contains a permanent irrefutable ledger of transactions. Basically everyone knows if Wallet A paid Wallet B. If you refill your wallet with anything remotely traceable, that means everyone knows YOU paid Wallet B, and similarly if wallet B has any ties to the real world, the lines are easy to connect.

That’s not to say you can’t use it anonymously, but that was not the intent and thus it does anonymity poorly.

“Crypto” is such a vague term it’s almost comical to imply it’s private. Sure there are ways to use crypto privately, but it takes a lot of steps.

Some people really don’t grasp the concept of the trolley problem.

A train is headed towards 5 people, you can pull a lever and switch tracks to kill 1 person. What do you do?

Naïve/entitled people fail to grasp the concept of compromise.

Looks like someone out there had the same idea.

They’re currently selling a packaged system for ~$5k, which is a bit pricey, but maybe worth if you’re full time on the van life. Looks like you could probably fit 2 of these units on a typical roof, obstructions permitting. Alternatively you could do one tracker and one flat unit.

It looks like ground based 2-axis tracking systems can be found for ~$500-1k, you’d just need to bring your own expertise to mount it to the roof and program the controls yourself.

Semi-unrelated: others mentioned painting your van white (which you already have) but I’ll raise you one better - consider painting it with an IR-Emissive cooling paint, e.g., https://i2cool.com/

There’s unfortunately few products on the market at this time, but keep your eyes peeled.

Grove has become my go-to storefront for general household goods - they have a solid selection of generally reasonably priced jtems, and a strong aversion to plastic. They’re by no means perfect but I feel a lot better with them getting a cut of my money than Bezos.

They’re not going to have the billions of niche items on Amazon, but they’re pretty great for my needs.

They were talking about Nova, not Lawnchair. Nova hasn’t officially been abandoned, but they were purchased by a big data broker a few years ago, and just a few months ago Branch (Nova’s owner) laid off almost all of the Nova Launcher development team.

Nova is not dead, but the writing is on the wall.

Height selection on metric side has jumps of up to 3 centimeters lmao.

Too lazy to look, but given 1 inch = 2.54 cm, my guess is the tool is written in inches, and just rounds those values to the nearest whole cm, thus alternating between 2 & 3 cm increments.

This is the ideal male body. You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.

But that’s not a burner phone, that’s an off phone.

burner goes from your house, to abortion clinic, to your office, back to your house

Hmm, must be someone else, I don’t recognize this number

Thanks, seitan.

You do you, but I will say uBO can block all of those things, it just doesn’t do it all out of the box.

You have to subscribe to the right blocklists, or manually remove elements you don’t want from sites you visit frequently.

ABP offers you the convenience of not having to manually tinker with everything, which is what money is supposed to be used for - convenience.

I love where I live, but my biggest miss on moving was leaving my fiber network behind and moving to Cox monopoly territory.

Because my ISP charges $50/mo extra for the “privilege” of having unlimited data.

Similar, but lighting system as a sleep tool. Lights start off warm white and slowly dim to amber / red, then off at the push of a button every night.

How’s about a patent that expires 5 years after its first use by a billion+ dollar company? 5 years after it is used in more than 10,000 products? 5 years after its licensing has yielded over $1M in profit? 5 years after spending over $100k on advertising? 5 years after your first major court settlement?

I think there are ways to protect individual innovators but also lessen patent abuse

It’s a poor analogy, but imagine a public IP like a hotel, there can be lots of guests (clients) at this hotel. Hotel policy is they won’t let any outsiders in unless you know the room number (port) of the person you’re trying to reach.

Imagine you and a friend are staying in separate hotels and want to give each other copies of your favorite Linux .ISOs, but neither of you knows the other’s room number - you show up at the hotel and the front desk tells you to pound sand because you don’t have their room number.

As long as one of you knows the other’s room number though, you can meet.

Torrenting without port forwarding means you can only trade your favorite .ISOs with people who have port forwarding enabled (sharing their room number to the tracker), which makes you less effective of a seeder. Enabling port forwarding allows you to share with anyone (sharing your room number with the tracker).
