I’m sceptical about all this. In fact, I’m sceptical about everything!
- Comment on If someone tells you that communism has led to famines in the USSR and China, that it doesn't have any incentives and that anyone who supports it use products of capitalism, how do you counter this? 1 day ago:
when you take land from the people
But that’s the main characteristic of communism. The ruling class takes the resources from the people to misallocate them.

You can enjoy the brand new boobs! Although I can’t guarantee them to be cancer free.
- Comment on How are locks and keys mass produced? 1 week ago:
I am still confused. Aren’t locks modular and easily swappable on the other side of the ocean?
This is how they look here. You can just swap it without changing the looks of the door in any way.

It’s hard to hear what they are trying to say over all the gun fire noise.
- Comment on YSK that Jeffrey Epstein wasn't just a sex criminal. He was a world class manipulator. He knew how to play a fundamentally rotten business culture better than anyone in New York 2 weeks ago:
We still don’t know his true clients (people he worked for). These guys were just his marks.
We had a similar guy where I come from. He was actively seeking connections with politicians and businessmen, acting as their friend, while recording every online and offline conversation to be used for extortion in the future.
He, and the prostitute he was hiring to do his bidding, made the mistake of getting directly involved in the murder of a journalist, so she ended up in prison for 25 years, and I haven’t heard anything about him ever since.

So it’s not just me. The peering between europe and asia IS crap!
I’ve been to thailand in november and the connections to europe were hit or miss the whole time. The latency was poor and the reliability varied day by day.
The only thing that made any difference was switching providers on the EU side. It seems that some ISPs have better peering than others.
Also lowering the MTU for the vpn tunnel seemd to help a lot, but that might’ve been a placebo.

speed will increase as development continues
LoRa is already surfing on the bleeding edge of physics. There is no way to get anything more out of it, other than allocating wider EM spectrum for this usecase.
There are some radio amateurs in my area trying Meshcore on 169Mhz for example. There are also some new boards available that can do LoRa on 2.4Ghz, but both approaches have some downsides as well.
For a more stable and reliable network, we would also need radios capable of communicating on multiple channels simultaneously (remember, the whole thing started off as a reaction to really cheap, almost disposable dev boards), but now we’re approaching the complexity and requirements of the traditional mobile networks.
- Comment on Does self hosting your own internet count? 3 weeks ago:
People who studied the code speak really fondly about reticulum, however, it’s not as popular for building the lora based mesh networks, because the full stack does not run on the simple microcontroller. You need what is basically a standard PC connected to it. Given that mesh repeaters are usually designed to run off-grid on solar and battery, wasting additional power for a raspberry pi or similar computer would make the project unfeasible.
All while Meshtastic or Meshcore are perfectly happy with the esp32 or nrf microcontrollers. And the nrf ones can run without a direct sunshine for days with the reasonably large battery.

It’s hard to compete in road construction with the guys building on stolen land paying for labor with stolen money.

- Comment on How far do you wear your daily shoes out before bothering to replace them? 4 weeks ago:
I wear them until they reach zero on the comfort scale:
- 10 - The most comfortable thing in the universe. You don’t even know you’re wearing them

Why do you think USA needs even more mismanagement and authoritarianism? Isn’t trump bad enough already?
- Comment on At this point, should we form an alternative government of the United States as a micronation? 5 weeks ago:
Some say it’s useless to overthrow a government, because the first thing people do after is create another government. It’s highly unusual to skip the first step, though.

Believe it or not, these were invited by a certain asshole sitting in the government at the time. I can only assume this is how the friendly visit looked like back in the day. Different time, different customs…

The truly strange thing is that nobody has complained about it until now. I can’t imagine buying a phone that can’t be rested on the table evenly.

He would be made out of the snake body and the lion head!
Finally a reason to tell everyone I’ve discovered gnosticism. It’s like normal religion, but for pessimists. On the other hand, so many Therion songs just make sense all of a sudden.
- Comment on YSK about Israel’s “Samson Option”: The Nuclear Target List that includes American and European cities… 1 month ago:
Oh, boy! If you like long podcasts, Behind the Bastards did a 5 parter about the history of the nuclear programs.
spoiler: USA kinda did have a literal program to nuke random cities possibly unrelated to the potential source of the attack.
