Looking at the map on https://efe.cl the overall rail coverage is great, though idk how easy it is to get through various customs.

I imagine this person, and most modern humans, would not survive in a low-tech situation. The show “Naked and Afraid” is pretty good to get an understanding of why: not enough food. You “win” the show by surviving as a duo for 21 days, contestants have been failed for minor cuts and sleeping under a poisonous tree, among other issues.
The most successful dude I’ve ever seen on the show got put on an island covered in mice. His strategy involved setting up some rocks and the mice kept knocking the rocks over and killing themselves, which he would then prepare to eat. His co-survivor actually complained that he was catching so many mice that it was keeping her up at night. One of the only contestants to ever gain weight. He did get some leg cramps while swimming to the rescue near the end, otherwise 9/10 performance.

Also applies to 21st century industrialists who aren’t allowed to employ children for meat packing plants, apparently.
- Comment on GitHub - microsoft/low-latency-audio: ASIO driver development for Windows 1 week ago:
One thing that surprised me about my switch to linux is that my nvidia driver no longer conflicts with my audio interface and I can switch between the two without even needing to refresh web pages or other applications. Windows actually BSOD’ed a couple of times because of it.

- Comment on My houseplants have small dead bugs around them, what are these? 🌿🐜 2 months ago:
fungal gnats
Try watering your plants with a small amount of dish soap or vinegar. They’re likely propagating off of your plants but they could also be coming from some other mold such as expired fruit or rotten wood.

Yes the install media is on a floppy but the required HD space to run it is listed as 24MB.

If you got together 17 floppies you might have enough to run Doom on

One example of a case where Crypto would be a preferable alternative to VISA/Mastercard.

Nowhere on earth has the new year started. I suppose in eastern asia it’s Wednesday Dec 31st, though.
