Separation of church and state has only ever been for the "wrong" religions and those that have left it behind altogether. Makes sense, the rich and powerful would prefer that people stay as stupid as possible, rally around a dictator, and worship an easily controlled victim mentality religion.

Huge shout out to Louis Rossmans's guide. wiki.futo.org

Taking the plunge into pfsense or opnsense is very much worth it if you are as done with home/consumer router BS as I am. I got committed after even my ubiquiti router began acting up even after being reset. I followed that guide and am now running pfsense and by far the happiest I have ever been with a "home router."

I am by no means an expert at tech stuff, i have basic working knolwedge which is plenty if following a guide like this one. It's intimidating at first but definitely doable!

I didn't have a spare PC floating around and didn't have time to build one out so I bought a used Intel n5105 based mini-pc with dual gig ethernet ports. Its less modular than I'd like, but it's apparently easy to port a saved config over to a new machine. I was a little worried about performance before I got it, but its plenty fast. More than enough for my network with 30+ devices and it hosts OpenVPN for my phone when not home.

I recommend hardwiring as much as possible, or at least hardwiring to wireless APs and not using crappy WiFi repeaters. I picked up some used ubiquiti APs a while back that are still working well and are very reliable.

I know this is meant to target assholes and not us in this context but my first gut reaction to this was "well duh yeah you will." I may or may not be grappling with aging... and with my bad decisions that my kidneys did not sign up for 😂

Treat yourselves with love and respect folks. Even if others don't.

Like it or not - and I know many people do not - continuing to use twitter means playing by muskrat's rules, and currently those rules are some version of "get in line or get fucked." It's not a platform of free speech, because regressives use "freeze peech" as code for "what I say deserves to be right and what you say deserves nothing."

Twitter (no I'm not calling it X, it's not a person, etc etc) is not worth fighting for anymore than Tesla is. They're lost causes being associated with muskrat. And unlike people who bought teslas 7 years ago before it became necessary to google if the CEO of the brand you're about to buy from is a fucking fascist, the people who have been using twitter for ages don't have to pay exorbitant new-car-cost dollars to get a new social media platform. If their audiences aren't regressive, they need to be moving right along with them to new platforms that are less fascist-owned in nature.

As an American, I avoid US beef as well. Hope our meat industry crashes, tbh. It's crazy expensive and yet it's disappointing.

They're dropping the facade now that trump has gained power. They've always been petulant, greedy little children who will burn anyone or anything for power.

The title is solid clickbait (it's not actually 100% car-free, duh) but I can forgive it considering the reality of living in Tokyo. I have a couple friends that have been there for a while, and while they haven't kicked the US car-brain sickness completely they've had to admit it's easier to go most places without one.

Reminder to anyone who bought a Tesla years ago before musk publicly admitted he's nazi. If you have free data or supercharging on the old cars, use it as much as you can. You're costing Tesla money just by existing and using their services. Do with that what you will.

Dysphoria doesn’t feel like dysphoria if you’ve expierenced it your entire life. Instead it just feels normal.

Where do I buy this on a shirt.

You have no idea how much I sympathize with this. It is so hard to convince myself that any of this is real some days, on top of all the other problems that forcing myself to realize "I have a body" in geneal causes

Descending is my fave so far

In what sequence is this best read?

Clockwise - top bottom down low

Counterclockwise - low down bottom top

Descending - low top down bottom

Ascending - bottom down top low

L->R - down low bottom top

R->L - top bottom low down

Or other?

Cybertruck is like the hummer. Point and laugh is really the kind thing to do, because it deserves so much worse 😆
