Sure the brain may survive, but will the consciousness that you identify as you survive?

Yeah that competition really did demonstrate what an awful service all those media monopolies provided.

You can just hire cops to be private security, no tax dollars necessary. The neat part is that even if they aren't acting in an official capacity, they can still use police resources (like squad cars), wear police uniforms, and they're still police (with all the same privileges, lack of liability, and license to murder).

Literally the only reason I've ever used it is so that when I start typing a web address in front of someone, Google doesn't "helpfully" autocomplete.

Aren't there any other sites that start with p or x?

These kinds of opinions cannot be held by rational adults without being racist and hateful. Squashing that kind of fascist rhetoric early isn't banning free speech; it's not an agenda. It's just demonstrably true that his rhetoric is intrinsically racist and hateful. So the troll, comes whinging around here trying to stir up so more drama because that's what they feed on.

Self hosting a VPN isn't going to help hide traffic from your ISP though. Even if you "self host" on a cloud instance or rack elsewhere, you've still got ISPs there who will see all your traffic. Unless there's some other magic implied that I've overlooked?

Yes, I thought I was very clear that I was explaining my rationalization for why Fahrenheit is my preferred arbitrary system for a specific use case. Fahrenheit is arbitrary and centered around human existence. Celsius is also arbitrary and centered around the phase changes of water. I made no mention of season because again, that is totally arbitrary, not universal, and depends wholly on geography. The only temperature scale that even gets close to trying to not be arbitrary is Kelvin, but I don't see you bullying for it's everyday use.

You don't need insane hardware to get started with Plex, but you'll soon realize why some go a little nuts with it.
