"A Lightweight VPN Built on top of IPFS + Libp2p"

Seems like both at a glance

You're not alone - Disney Star Wars has being either absolutely fantastic (Rogue One, etc.) or absolutely trash (789, etc.). Rogue One had good characters with interesting motivations and growth. Jyn had to come to terms with her fathers role in the empire and make choices on how to tackle unclear situations.

The new trilogy featured Rey, who... never changed or grew or really faced any meaningful challenge? She was just... always stronger/better because she just was. It felt more like playing a video game where your character fights increasingly big bad guys but never actually changes skills or unlocks new stuff.

And c'mon... "somehow Palpatine has returned" is the laziest piece of shit you can think of. That's some 5th grade fiction writing assignment shit.

Nifty! I built something similar for my university graduation project. Did a PCB, ESP8266 based as well. Temperature, humidity, sound, vibration, airborne particulate sensor, and some other stuff.

Wrapped a server up in docker for receiving the data, basic dashboard in JS for minor reactivity in components. Never ended up actually doing it cause I didn't have a consistent host, but maybe I should spin it up again now that I have a home server.

Cool project, looks neat! Anything you were caught off guard by when doing this?

Right?

Like I'm not out here claiming Kamala was a particularly exciting candidate, but it's not like this was remotely a difficult choice to make. This is absolutely reflective of a fundamentally incompetent electorate.

Even if you wanted to make that argument, 70ish million people actively voted for Trump. He wants to remove fluoride from water. I don't know what to tell you about those 70 million people lol.

The "this is extremely dangerous to our democracy" wasn't a jab at the Sinclair Media Group's "this is extremely dangerous to our democracy" campaign some years ago? Which was definitely a media conspiracy to push a narrative.

If that wasn't a reference and just accidentally the exact phrase, oops. If it was, then the implication that the democratic party's media machine was manipulating consistent messaging was pretty clear.

When multiple people quote somebody's statement, having each quote say the same thing isn't a conspiracy...

But that's also not Arnold - he's publicly said that he arrived with like $20 in his pocket but he is not a self made man, he's a community made man. He's not a "bootstrap" believer, he's very vocally against that mentality too.

He's true old school Republican, where they have some misguided beliefs about national debt but aren't absolute loons.

E: quick Google gives this https://youtu.be/DOldEbWxgdQ?si=uJ8_CsHzoUBHTbH4

Theres better vids of it, but still - Arnold has been pretty consistently a level headed guy politically, even if he's not right all the time.

Approval voting is also good. Really any of the alternatives create more representative outcomes.

Not to mention this is essentially the same line of reasoning Repubs keep using to make voting worse for everyone. Can't give out water in line to vote because you might be "buying votes", so you gotta wait in line 6 hours in the hot sun if you're in a poor district.

But hey, totally cool when it's ol Musky doin it for cash not for health!

Man I thought this was a solid "thanks Obama" use given his weak defense of Crimea brought us directly to this point. Damn.
