I always thought it was a bit like Goosebumps, but science fiction.

Share bud, there’s ladies living in tents in hotel rooms. I’m considering it.

Thanks for spelling out how to get started for me. I’ll give this a try later!

Thanks everyone for the responses!

Question: I do remember the days of those RSS buttons everywhere. But I never managed to see the value in it.

Can anyone share their experience with following feeds, and how they consume this content? Is there some kind of spam/tracker free functionality that people enjoy? Are there apps out there that organize this in a way that changes the game?

I’d like to give it another shot, sorry for all the questions.

I think what you shared is relevant, not a hijack.

I like your point that any feature has to be informed by what’s possible with the data available.

I hoped that my proposal would take advantage of data already available from the Modlog, which is simply the number of actions taken by Mods/Admins.

I also wanted to rely more on a metric that didn’t depend on user input/feedback to resist bot or group brigading.

I suspect your workflow already is informally followed by Mods/Admins, and I’d like to refer to it as the Micro side of administration, when they go to a post in question trying to assess what’s going on based on comments surrounding a post. I too believe that helps spread the work, but also vibe checking’s negative cousin is essentially brigading.

I don’t think there are easy answers in the Micro side, and much of it would be driven by existing rules and terms which seem clear enough as it is. I suspect most of the problem with Micro is just the work of assessing posts and exercising judgment.

I’d rather explore the Macro side of the equation to focus on some available metrics, and what trends can be directed with what we already have.

If this were a terrible cake of mixed motives, one would be to throw out or damage the Epstein files in such a way that no one involved with those allegations can be tried.

Second, obtain war funding (Venezeula) to secure a coup, or to at least hold a significant portion of the the US indefinitely.

Third, in the event of complete failure, extort and move as much money out of the country that can resist tracing or recovery. Exit planning to leave the US on emergency basis.

I keep these three points in mind while looking at the Trump Administration.

From what I understand, Venezuela, Canada, and Russia are the primary suppliers of heavy crude. Even after so-called embargoes against Russia for the Ukraine-Russia conflict, ghost ships are still able to get product to market.

As for Iran, I’m not sure the US can even hold Iran, given their track record in Afghanistan and elsewhere. As it turns out, occupying another country requires huge troop deployments over decades.

Also, China’s built out relations through the Belts and Roads Initiative, meaning they’ve diversified the markets they can access.

One alternative plan, from an outsider’s point of view, is that the US has engaged in a long standing strategy of wealth transfer from its middle classes to its wealthy upper classes over decades. They’re in the process of breaking down their country for sale to its billionaire classes. While on paper it looks like a coup, the structure of the US suggests that the whole thing comes down with a whimper instead of a bang.

I suspect the billionaires are just waiting to see if they can get away with stealing the US, without the American people rising up and charging them for treason.

I’m going to jump into a Meshcore rabbit hole here, potentially converting a Raspberry Pi into a repeater if I get further in.

After reading some more experiences, and watching a few more videos, I’ll be trying a WisMesh Tag with Meshcore.

If I slip into the rabbit trail, maybe I’ll build a repeater for fun. lol

Anyone have any experience with that meshtastic idea? Issues and hype?

PieFed here, don’t see the link to the article either.

I see the image though.

Another idea was perhaps the OP can receive the request for a tag, and be given a set time to accept or decline.

Perhaps the OP could be a bot or may not be too active, and the set time gives them a chance before the community at large have their way?

I’m not sure how that may look in practice.

Perhaps it could be just a 1 to 1 exchange, like a user can just make the proposal to the OP with a quick form.

Or if it turns out the OP is a bot perhaps small poll can be set where a user proposes the tag, and an arbitrary number like 1-2 other votes are needed to accept the tag?

Can users, who are not the original posters, add or propose tags to posts?

Perhaps this can be a way to organize posts in a meaningful way?

Depends on your definition of “significant positive legacy”.

If you’re drawn to the fame and notoriety of public figures as a template for this legacy, then I’d say these types of people already put their lives out in public for you to follow as a template. You will likely be seen as a narcissist in some circles.

On the other hand, many games and thinkers instill the rationale that you are the sum of your choices. Your karma - or action logic perhaps - will ripple around you with consequences - intended or not. These choices raise a new legacy of being an example.

A lot of people want to just live their lives in their own peace, make a living, do what they can to support their people. Such folks receive no fame, and no notoriety. They do everything necessary. There’s no thanks expected. But they make human life worth it. I’d rather be a part of this example.

In many ways, we all entered the same game with the same example of team. We all wake up, work, transit. Everything has to come together in order for us to get back home safely. It has inherent value, and is a “legacy”. What I think of as “legacy” is also your heritage and your birthright. You inherited someone’s legacy to be possible and to be here.

There are forces that threaten this example. People who want to do violence to it, destroy it, pillage it, profit from it, you have to choose to protect it. They don’t want you to see your own worth. They don’t want you to see the value in others. They want you to stay small, and deny your heritage. How you protect this example, and the vulnerable, is up to you.

EDIT: I’m just using the terms you and they in a generic sense. I don’t literally mean you to single any specific person out. Similarly, I’m not literally talking about “they” like some kind of secret cabal reference. They is an ever changing reference to any kind of opposing force - be it person or system or effect.

I watched the video included with the article. One of those poor, poor seniors was asked whether she was kept informed. She said no, saying she only gets updates from the internet and her Facebook.

I’m not the first to ever say it, but there’s a clear lack of infrastructure when someone still turns to the very same company’s platform for updates and barely knows what’s going on. There’s no respect for community here, no involvement of stakeholders, no thought to the people who live there. For what? A corporate installation that may be built on fuddy duddy accounting to keep up appearances for an AI Bubble?

Late hours, on long stretches of road and away from intersections, walk down the centre of a street.

You have better line of sight, fewer blind corners, and you should be picked up by cameras. As long as you’re not intoxicated, you can also tell when someone or something approaches better.

Also a good pocket light with focus options. You can light the way with it, or blind anything temporarily. If built well, it can reinforce your fist, and you can hammer strike.

Some places do put fees on the sale of the car itself, and their regular registration, that go to public transit. Plus they deliberately reduce the supply of parking spaces available, effectively forcing car drivers to pay for the space they occupy. I think this puts a proper price for people to appreciate the hidden costs of car ownership.

But such policies are harder to “sell” to places with vast country or hinterlands because space is in abundance, and cars are heavily favoured.

Thank you for that How-To. Now I know this isn’t what you first intended, but I tried to adapt this for DigitalOcean [DO] which is where my VPS is. I was not able to set up the CNAME, and I kind of worked out what was happening without a solution. For now I don’t have the CNAME set up and the links lead directly to my S3 Bucket.

I’ve got my set up laid out at the bottom of the post here. I’ll ask there if it’s okay to just keep this arrangement or if there are concerns.
