@gamehawk requiring head shots should be illegal. Its pretty questionable if the applicants name should even be on the application.

@Are0h go mexico! (Mexico is almost a local team for los angeles)

@gamehawk But... Computers already rule vast chunks of human activity. Its called YouTube. And their recommendation engines push people to increasingly extreme versions of whatever they started with. YouTube may even be a stronger engine of radicalization than Fox.

I ran into a Union picnic today, which reminded me of a piece of 1900s era union protest sign that's depressingly relevant today.

@Are0h lot of people on commercial social networks move to group chat or private groups. I wonder about using different uis / different theme to show how far a message is going to travel might make sense. Most public looks like a park/public square, then porch, then living room. A key thing would be as you get more private showing the user list of who can see gets more important.

@Are0h i was thinking computer mediated social networks don't have good ways of tracking trust or levels of intimacy. People need ways of knowing who the audience is when they talk

@cwebber its convenient they say, it'll be fine they say, you're just being paranoid.

@ArtistMarciaX i hope it stays that way. And hopefully there's enough cross talk i (and hopefully others)/can learn to be better people.

@Are0h may you continue to stand up for yourself.

@andreyk I understand it as the children of the slavers have rose to power again. (White supremacy has a long history in the USA and whatever unofficial truce stood after the race riots of the 60s seems to be failing)

@troubleMoney @squirrel Did you have to train the squirrel to peel garlic? Or did they do it because they enjoyed it?

@Zarffyn I wonder if I should set up a mastodon instance to mirror some twitter feeds I like.

Like SurvivingMars'. "Mysteries Resupply Pack is all about glowing stuff, so it's actually our low key endorsement of rave parties. :P"

@cwebber I miss lj-cut.

@Zarffyn we both enjoyed it. There's more goals and structure than a typical city builder, i liked having a better idea what needed to be done next. One important early patch that was added was birth control.

@Zarffyn their major post release patch is out but I've been working on my network so haven't had time to try

I have OpenVPN with x.509 cert authentication, tunneling ipv4 and ipv6 traffic, and I believe properly starting with systemd...

You know... let me just delete that default ipv6 route until I get firewall settings set up to block services that were never intended to be exposed to the scary Internets. (for example minidlna)

@andreyk I'm going to pretend that cute yawning kitten gif is a reminder that I should go to sleep now.

@Are0h i really to put social media down and do some exercise too.

@cwebber yeah... I've been trying to encrypt my dns traffic. Also i keep wondering if i set up a public network in my condo would anyone connect? And could it turn into a mesh?
