It sure sounds extreme from a modern pov, but consider the context of the era.

People were much more tolerant of public nudity, atletes traditionally practised nude, brothels depicted images with sexual specialties like a shopping window and had curtains for doors. What Diogenes did was by all means scandalous but not that big of a deal nor a crime.

Diogenes philosophy was a direct call to return to nature, animals have no shame to have sex in public, so why should he? It be out of character to draw such unnatural line. There is the famous story of how he saw a slave drink from their hands and cursed himself for carrying a bowl all this time. The guy really practiced what he stood for.

Of course also worth considering, most that we know was writings of others in later times, we dont know how much is true and how much is rumour. Its just as likely he did so once to prove a point and it stuck.

It really depends what the expectation is here.

On face value this wish is not different then “i want to be a doctor, marine biologist, astronaut” These things require years of professional expertise.

But does the kid really want to become an degree holding expert in a field… or do they just want to feel like what they think the job entails.

Its definitely incorrect that being a “hacker” is illegal. In many interpretations a hacker is simply someone who uses technology creatively in sometimes unintended ways. But i am assuming they mean computer hacker specifically.

My suggestion would be to start with giving the kid a laptop with linux and to follow some guides on how to use the terminal, you learn a lot about how computers work that way. There are also apps to emulate a linux terminal on a phone/tablet which can be complementary to the laptop to experiment with a small network of devices.

A starter project would be to build a bootable usb that you can plug in any laptop/pc usb port. They could use that as their personal “hacker os” that can be kept safe seperatly from their device. With this technically any wild pc with an unlocked bios can be temporarily be turned in your pc where you are admin with your tools and files where you are admin.

Another cool project they could learn is how to setup a remote connection to acces a terminal on a pc on another network (using ssh-key (secure), not passwords (insecure) it does mean someone needs to setup that pc with an open port but the first time i tunnelend into my own network this way it definitely made me feel like a hacker. And a “real hacker” would need to know those basics first anyway.

You might also want to check sdf.org they provide free unix shells and guides for all kinds of stuff.

And this is why generals should lead the charge.

I think the general gist is as beginner self hosters we get more and more comfortable too “easily spin up a docker webserver”

At some point we arrive at “what other services can i host” and email is a pretty obvious addition expecting it to at least not be more difficult then running nextcloud.

It may be doable but hell is it not a comparable challenge.

“Predicts”

I saw the writing on the wall when they kept pushing me for needing an account on their servers. Glad i left.

Navidrome❤️ is so undervalued for how amazing streaming your own music collection is.

Does anyone know a source to self host this localy? Seems like an amazing project.

There are custom themes out there that change the interface.

Right click -> identify-> Title name, has yet to fail me.

Its been a long time since i used plex so I can’t say how much “easier” its over there but compared to the days before streaming this little upfront work takes less time then going to a physical store to rent.

Its in one of the replies below. Have Fun!

I think this is about all the important ones, i have to install them all manually on linux so i cant just export from a manager.

I was however unable to install Appearance Menu Mod because of a weird lag when entering cars. Its the only mod that gave me problems but the occurance of this bug seems pretty rare depending on your pc.

If you are interested i have a mod list that addresses about everything you mentioned.

The true potential of customization for cyberpunk has always been mods.

Negative for some yes but what i see is a net positive.

To the untrained Ai appears like a super cheap shortcut to make something that looks good at a glance. You know the same glance a shareholder may take at the tripple A game in development.

Its not hard to see where that is going. Tripple A is already full off enshitification, add more and morea ai mess and the result will be one stink of an overpriced game after the other.

Actually non ironically wonderful, i hope they choke on their own fucking budget.

In the mean time actually passionate artists will also be using these tools, not as a cheap shortcut but as a way to get closer to their inherent perfectionism.

The video game industry is dead, long live the video game industry.
