Why are you being so divisive?

I had this idea a few months ago, and found a thread discussing the same thing from several years ago. Seems like nothing came of it.

I currently use Syncthing to keep a lot of items synced across a few of my devices. It’s completely decentralized and fully encrypted. Instead of synching files, what if it could be used as an instant messenger? No central server to interrupt service. No single point of attack. No more requiring a name or phone number, just exchange a QR code to begin communicating.

I think this would excel at group messaging, especially if some members are out of service occasionally. Reconnect, and all messages get distributed.

There must be something out there that already works like this, but I don’t know of a serverless system.

So, delay until February, when they disband NHTSA.

I think it’s technically written as 10 years. If a vice president replaced the president, he could serve 2 more terms as long as he only replaced the president for 2 years. If he served out more than 2 years, he could only be president for 1 additional term.

Dammit, there goes my degree.

A lot of people are offput by having to choose a server before creating an account. If that could be automated somehow I think Mastodon would be more popular.

Sounds like PTSD to me. Your fight/flight mode is getting switched randomly to flight. For me it was “freeze”.

I once used my grandpa’s salt on my food.

Potassium Chloride. Those extra 8 electrons don’t mean it tastes better.

There’s a website set up by a white-hat hacker to solicit work as a network penetrator. It has some odd name that’s assassin related (contractkiller.com or something similar, I can’t remember offhand). He set it up, and forgot about it. When he went back to it, a lot of the messages were people asking him to kill someone.

He sent all the info to the police, and left the website up. Now it’s just a honeypot for people trying to have someone killed. I visited it a while ago, it’s very tongue-in-cheek. But people are stupid and willing to believe anything.

Describe in single words only the good things that come into your mind about your mother.

I think there should be a Breaking Bad sequel where the main character buys meth and turns it back into cold medication.

HOW DID THEY GET THESE PATENTS APPROVED SO FAST???

I have a patent from a previous job. The initial filing was in 2007. It wasn’t approved until 2010, almost a year after I had moved on to a different employer.

Downtown of a small town in the middle of winter, late at night when nobody’s around. Cold enough that the snow squeaks under your feet as you walk, but no wind at all. Just the memory of the smell of sub-zero air makes me think about a destination with warm walls a nice cup of hot tea waiting for me.

There are no more rules.

Expect the challenge. I’ve been watching the usual suspects on Twitter, they’re completely bwashed into thinking there’s only one possible outcome, and if it goes against them it means there’s been election fraud. They’re already calling it a landslide.

I just want a really good homescreen widget that shows a month view, and a widget that shows a task list I can check off as they’re complete. Right now I’m using Business Calendar, but I’d switch to open source in a heartbeat if any of them offered this.

Super tired of the American Godzilla thing. Japanese Godzilla is back to basics with an uncontrollable monster. But when they eventually cycle back to the campy, flying-drop-kick Godzilla, I’ll tap out of those too.

Smart girls are sexy. I want someone I can discuss my mathematical theories with. I have some thoughts on prime numbers that can’t be contained.

We aren’t going to stop being prejudiced against each other until we meet other species to turn our prejudices outward.

I saw him in Marquette, Michigan in the early 90s. The only thing I remember about the performance was “don’t call Natives ‘Native Americans’. America sucks. Just call them Indians.”

Marquette’s pretty much the backwater of Michigan, he must have been working on new material.
