Have you learned anything useful on inoculation and deprogramming? I’ve been looking as well but haven’t found much.

Is it like you say, have a true set of idea anchors? But still what if it’s a false anchor?

Fun fact: decibels are exponential; A 180 db sound would be the loudest thing ever recorded (the krakatoa volcano was 172) and after 194 db it ceases to be sound and becomes a shockwave.

Do you mean abominations? lol.

I don't believe they're thinking that abstractly. They know [Blue State] and go there. Maybe a few are smart enough to go to [Swing State] + [Blue Area], but I think it's about affecting the count moreso. It just seems stochastic, so I think the simplest logic is going to be the most common.

(Area code) 867 5309

It already has an account, and nobody who gets that number keeps it for long, it may not even be assigned anymore because of how much spam it probably receives.

Pay cash when available, keep cards for when it’s not or it’d be a hassle (your discretion).

FYI for those reading this, it is just an image of the unopened mail. They don't open it for you. You see who it's from and when it is supposed to arrive.

Second this. Vanlife stuff is focused on size, mass, durability, efficiency, replaceability, repairability, modularity, price. There is nothing better than vanlife videos for learning how to live minimally within an apartment.

Some additional tips,

  • folding furniture.
  • Human baseline happiness returns to set points. Remove something non-essential and you may be sad at first, but will eventually stop caring.
  • No couch or TV: if it cant fit on/in my car or is fragile, I’m not buying it.
  • if you don’t mind appearing “poor”, you may realize that the products that best fit all the above criteria are just basic things from walmart, target, etc. Those folding plastic tables and metal bed frames, plastic tubs and drawers, actually solve their problems 90% as well as traditional products at 10% the price, while being readily available everywhere. You don’t worry about damaging them either.
  • take or leave advice. Maybe you want a nice desk. I have a nice office chair. It will be hard to move, but it’s worth it. The point is you can be minimal in unimportant areas.

Also isn’t LoRa proprietary/patent encumbered?

I’ve noticed that too. Is it related to covid you think? As in it was like this before and now we’re returning to normal progression as people rebuild social connections and lose time. Or is it that the whole dev economy is changing with layoffs and such that devs are leaving the industry altogether? Or something else even?

I really appreciate this reply, and the effort you’ve taken citing here. I was in disbelief of the fact that chickens can be grown to slaughter that fast.

That would account for about 6 weeks of price increase. Chickens don’t live that long.

Dude what?

A chicken may live for 5–10 years, depending on the breed.[24]

 

I'd like to store/seed important data (wikipedia, gutenberg, etc.), and read recently that it would be a good idea to store torrent files long-term. My questions are:

  1. Is it better to store torrent files or magnet links?
  2. Will a given magnet link retrieve the exact same .torrent file every initiation?
  3. Is storage of these files/links a good idea (especially if I have the files)?

This question is really about whether magnet links or torrent files are better to store long term, with a sanity check that this is something that should be done.

I've read these two StackExchange posts which were very helpful, and am looking to get more technical opinions and info:

 

Hey folks! I've been using MarkText for years, but it seems dead now. It still works fine, but I've been on-and-off looking for something that gets dependency updates and is less resource heavy (electron).

I look for the following in order of importance:

  • FLOSS license
  • WYSIWYG editing, not side-by-side
  • limited scope (edit docs, not trying to be 'A System for Managing Ideas')
  • low resource usage
  • LaTeX support is a plus

Do you know if MarkText has a trustworthy fork that is maintained? Do you know if something with similar user experience exists that uses a more lightweight code base?
